Dealt to Phillberto01 [Kc Ad]
tocca: raises $1 to $1.50
Short handed but in position. Normally a raising hand but worth a call sometimes.
Phillberto01: calls $1.50
the clêaner: folds

*** FLOP *** [7s Js Ks]
lastride111: bets $2
tocca: calls $2
A nice flop but flush and straight draws out there. Some money in the pot already and happy to take it down now.
Phillberto01: raises $7 to $9
lastride111: folds tocca: raises $7 to $16
Mmm. Not what I expected. Its a small raise that looks like it wants a call. I check out stack sizes. If I call this then I can't fold later. He has to be ahead of TPTK. I'm not likely to improve. AQ with A spades? He would have enough outs to make that play but surely a shove would have been better. Nope I reckon I'm behind here. Better let it go.
Phillberto01: folds
Uncalled bet ($7) returned to tocca
tocca collected $23.55 from pottocca: shows [Ts Qs] (a flush, King high)
Well appreciate the insight buddy. I read you well. Open ended straight flush draw to boot.
Happy to escape from that.

Dealt to Phillberto01 [9c 9d]
SmutsHarry: raises $1.50 to $2
BiG_RoN81: folds
SmutsHarry has a pre-flop raising range of 14%. That was actually his first raise from UTG so maybe a little aggressive but I have position so what the hell.
Phillberto01: raises $4 to $6
Rudi 1951: calls $5.75
Been playing 40% of pots so hard to read this call.
BWolfe07: folds
SmutsHarry: calls $4
Mmm not a monster but could be ahead. Pretty unclear where I stand.
*** FLOP *** [8d 4s 5c]
Rudi 1951: checks
SmutsHarry: checks
Mmm. No strength so far. A little worried about a check raise still.
Phillberto01: checks
*** TURN *** [8d 4s 5c] [8h]
Rudi 1951: checks
SmutsHarry: checks
Phillberto01: checks
In retrospect I prefer a bet here.
*** RIVER *** [8d 4s 5c 8h] [2s]
Rudi 1951: checks
SmutsHarry: checks
A missed value bet I think. Nobody is slow playing three streets. $5 bet maybe?
Phillberto01: checks
*** SHOW DOWN ***
Rudi 1951: shows [Qs Jd] (a pair of Eights)

Raise it up this time. Loose aggro and he is raising 30% of the time. I'm almost certainly ahead.
Rudi 1951: folds
BiG_RoN81: calls $4.50
*** FLOP *** [7c 9c 6h]
Well it missed me but a c-bet required.
Phillberto01: bets $7

Ouch using his position.
*** TURN *** [7c 9c 6h] [5h]
Phillberto01: checks
BiG_RoN81: bets $15
A nice raise. I doubt I'd check here with an overpair.
I'm out of position and have A high. I have to let it go.

Likely to be ahead. No draws so I don't have to raise.
Phillberto01: calls $3
*** TURN *** [2c Ts 8h] [Kc]
.TilTandWiN.: bets $7.50
Interesting bet. He said he had something before betting into a pre-flop raiser. I thought maybe a T or 8 or pocket 9s or such like. J9 possibly but is it a hand to call a raise with? He certainly isn't likely to have hit his King. Betting pot with trips is unlikely. A bit lost on his hand here. I opt to call and see what happens on the river. I probably will lay down to a big bet on the river.
Phillberto01: calls $7.50
*** RIVER *** [2c Ts 8h Kc] [Qh]
.TilTandWiN.: checks
With a J9 getting there and doubting he has a King I decide to be conservative and check. Another missed value bet maybe?
Phillberto01: checks
*** SHOW DOWN ***
.TilTandWiN.: shows [Qc Jh] (a pair of Queens)
Ok. Turn bet makes sense. A little aggressive betting into a raiser with a gutshot but I guess it was likely to have missed me so why not.
Phillberto01: shows [As Ac] (a pair of Aces)
Phillberto01 collected $23.10 from pot

$8 to the good. No major confrontations. Not great play but happy to escape early from my TPTK hand.
