Makes me want to play in CA. I am beginning to believe that FW 10/20 isn't that easy, comparitively. . .

I left out the strangest/most wonderful hand I have ever played. Second day at Commerce I am showing down only winners and have showed at least one set. I have ATo EP and raise. I am cold called by four including both blinds. Flop is A5x. I bet. Two calls. Turn is a T. I bet, raise by LP and a fold. I call. River is a blank. I bet, LP raises, and I re-raise. LP is a nice young Asian man, and he starts thinking out loud. "You have a set of tens don't you?" he says. I respond "If I were you I would definitely lay my hand down, I have a good hand" thinking I am telling the truth. He open folds 55 for a set. There is a collective gasp at the table. I show my AT and LP starts talking to himself for at least half an hour. Odd thing is, I end up a third of a rack down and LP ends up 4 or 5 racks up. I had no idea I was a charity case.
