roller coaster of a game
what a ride today! first hand i play is aces; guy raises to 12 dollars and i come over the top to 30 dollars and he is the only caller. flop comes 3h 4h 5s, he checks and i bet 75 dollars and HE CALLS. shit. next card is the 2h giving me the straight but there is now a flush on board. in retrospect, i should have put him all in right there but i checked. the turn is the 9d and he goes all in. i am too pot committed to fold so i call and he turns over 3 nines. cool.
later i raise to ten dollars with ace king of hearts. flop comes kc, 7d 3h; top pair, top kicker, i bet 40 dollars and am called. next card is the 7c, he checks, i check and on the river he bets 40 dollars and i call and am beat by 7's full of kings.
then i get 4 dueces against the same guy for a small win but a 100 dollar bonus.
then i call a ten dollar bet from bb with pair of 5's with 4 people already in. flop comes Jc, Qc, 5d. i check, raiser bets 25 dollars, guy to his left goes all in and i call but the orginal better calls as well. orginal better has aces, guy who went all in has two pair, jacks and queens and i have the best hand at that point with the set of 5's. bad luck on turn, another jack comes and there goes some money.
win a couple of small pots and then here we go again. am on button with AK of diamonds when the cut-off raises to ten dollars and i cold call as does the bb and one other player. flop comes 8c, ten of diamonds and the queen of diamonds. i have nothing except nut flush and royal flush draw. it is bet by raiser to 20 dollars and both bb and yours truly call. the turn is a blank and everyone checks and the last card is the 8 of diamonds giving me the nut flush but now there is a pair on the board. bb goes all in with his last 40 dollars and the raiser takes it up to 100 dollars. i debate whether or not he had slow played trips on the turn and decided that he hadn't and called and my flush won.
at the end of this roller coaster day i was up 273 dollars and damn glad to be there. i just as easily have had a grand in front of me but on the other hand, i could have gone home a 100 dollar loser. but anyway, that is another win in this streak.

Interesting hands...
I have a minor question about the hand where you cold-called on the button with AK suited when the cut-off player raised. I would think re-raising would be a much stronger play here since it would likely have knocked out the two blinds and put you heads-up with position against the raiser. Then, if he misses the flop and checks to you, the pot is yours.
you are right. i misplayed the hand but got lucky. and there ya go.
