Raise preflop, raise flop to $11 or so. Raise turn as it was played to about $20 here. You have a TPGK + a Royal Flush draw, get that money in.

Raise pre flop 5x and raise him on the flop.....this is one of the better flops youll get with this hand and play it aggro

I've succesfully got my girlfriend hooked on video games. I bought Guitar Hero III yesterday. She was working from home today and played all afternoon instead of working. Awesome.

Now all i have to do is get her hooked on poker.
That is a much tougher sell.

I wasn't involved, but just had Quads&lt;Quads at one of my tables. Sick.

[jlp_2908]

I lost 2 300bb pots in under 1000 hands, both hands I had sets...one set over set the other my set of sevens got runner-runner flushed to AA...
I am trying to build a f'ing bankroll here I should be up 600 bb instead of down 100...thinking about it like that makes me so so so so dam pissed off.
