Per sonal best record today for flopping sets.....5 of them! Let me tell you some tales of woe and some big wins.
1st hand....Playing 9/9 I flop a set with 2 spades on the board. My $20 bet does nothing to dissuade a caller. Turn is another spade, he bets into me, call. River, yet another spade, he bets, fold.
2nd hand....Playing 6/6 I flop a set on a 8/6/5 flop. He bets, I call (same guy). Turn another small guy. He bets, I call. River, he bets, I fold, he flopped a straight with his 4/7.
3rd hand....Playing 9/9 again the flop is 10/9/3. A player bets, I raise, another player calls and first bettor goes all in for less. Turn, I bet, player folds, all in player shows 10/10 for set over set.
4th hand....Playing J/J, I raise big preflop with about $60 in front of me. Get 3 callers. The flop is J/ 3/x. I bet $20 and everyone calls. I bet my last $15 blind and the turn pairs the 3. Everyone calls. The river? don't remember, but it makes one of the other players a straight and he wins the side pot. Nice win.
5th hand....Playing 3/3, the flop is 3/10/10. A guy with a weak 10 bets $10, I raise $20, he calls, everyone else folds. Turn he calls my bet, river I check. Decent pot.
Anyway, very mixed results, but never flopped so many straights in my life. Small win due to some major suckouts.

The first 2 hands were just icky boards for you. The one with 10s over 9s was just unlucky. The last two were cool. There must be something in the water because I had two sets of 5s hold up yesterday. I'm done with live for awhile though. It goes in cycles and my hot streak is over! I will try really hard to get to Jokers on Saturday, but family stuff might intervene. Hope to see you soon.
