While you are waiting

Did I miss the bankroll check last week?
Putting the new one together now and seem to remember typing it last week but can't find it. Mmmm.

I have guests so I couldn't get in to the computer room to copy the hand histories so memory will have to serve.

Three big hands that I remember from last night.

1st hand early on the table so no real read.

Pocket KK for me. I raise and face a reraise to $2.20. I re-reraise to $5.50 and he puts me allin.

The 'tight' angel on one shoulder is saying. - the third reraise is always Aces.
The looser 'devil' on the other shoulder is saying - never fold Kings preflop tightass, ever!

Its shorthanded, 20NL. I can afford to ride with the devil on this one, yes?

Qspades 10spades in the small blind. Two limpers so I tag along.

Flop: Kclubs Jspades 6spades.
Pot: $0.80
Open ended straight draw and flush draw for me.
I bet 0.65 and get raised to min raised 1.30 which still sees two more callers.
I consider reraising here as I suspect I'll be favourite against most hands and would if I knew the players to be decent but with so many callers I'm worried a lot of my outs could be in other peoples hands already.
I opt to just call and wait for one of my outs to hit.

Turn: 4 diamonds.

A blank. I check and its checked around:
US$6 pot.

The river lands and its a juicy one.
River: Kspades.

I hold the second nut flush on a paired board. Two of the remaining stacks have around $6 and one has a full stack. I check and wait to see the action.

First short-stack goes all. The big stack folds. The other short stack goes allin.

What am I facing?

I don't know what you are facing but as the King of spades is on the flop and comes on the river I would suggest you could be up against anything!

For the first hand I think you can call.....

Good point. Edited.

I did call. Q came on the flop and I have to say I wan't expecting to take it down then. I took it. As its prima he just mucked and I don't know what he had.

3 kings, lower flush or full house. I would think a lower flush as wouldn't they bet the turn with a pair of kings or 2 pair with a flush draw out there?

I pressed the time out option for this one but still felt rushed.
My initial thinking was that with two callers one of them had to have a minimum of a nut flush or full house. I think I can reduce the possibility of the full house as you say, as they have to bet. However the same goes for trips and we can't all have flush draws..or can we?
I am getting 2-1 on my money so I think was worth a call. Not sure what the first guy had as he mucked. The caller had 56s to make the flush. I let a US$18 pot go a-begging.

Oh the thing that made me decide to fold it in the end was the consideration that the first guy was going for a check raise with trips or two pairs and just never got the chance.

Dissapointing, but to work through all that in the time is very tough. Have to stick by your decision.
