5 folds, CO raises to $0.2, Hero calls $0.20, SB calls $0.15, BB calls $0.10.

tiny raise by CO and I have K8s - I think it's a good call. BUT IT'S SUITED! LOL Should I have raised??

Flop: ($0.80) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB bets 4.53 , BB calls $4.53, CO folds, Hero calls $4.53.

OK - here is my thinking - there is 9.86 in the pot, I have a draw to a nut flush and two cards to come. I also think that buy calling BBs raise I will not have to worry about putting more $$ into the pot as he was thinking he would be heads up! So the river would be basically a free card.

I knew the odds were REAL close if I got that free card.

Turn: ($9.86) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.9, BB calls $0.90.

Just trying to suck a little more out of him.

River: ($11.66) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $3.62 (All-In), BB folds.

Four on the river made me a little nervous.

Final Pot: $8.04

Of course you know the results but I'm curious about my calling the large flop bets.

Absolute - I had money in there when Neteller blew up - I can not get $$ OUT unless I put $$ IN. So - I either go broke or run the roll up to a point I HAVE to put $$ in.

I have $$ in FT but not enough for NL25.

There - the cover my butt reason for playing AB.

Side note - WOW did I catch hell for that hand!! unrelenting LOL
