One of those hands that turns a good session into a great 1

I almost folded to the bringin, but decided to go ahead and see fourth.

Nice hand. I've played with PangPang before... man that guy is an ATM if he has two pair or better.

I especially like the 4th street bet.

Nice hand. I've played with PangPang before... man that guy is an ATM if he has two pair or better.

He overplayed the middle streets, but he had pot odds to draw to his straight flush on sixth. He should have folded seventh, though a lot of people don't believe in folding seventh if you've called sixth.

It's GMACDAD who I couldn't figure out what horse he was riding.

I especially like the 4th street bet.

Thanks, Diamond.

If I decide to take a hand into fifth for whatever reason, I'll throw a bet or a raise out there on fourth street in most circumstances. That is surprisingly effective in chasing away weaker draws and especially in slowing down opponent aggression and buying a free card or two if you need it in the later streets.

As you can see, it certainly got CoolJake out of the picture after he was being aggressive early.

In this hand, it really turned into a nice pot sweetener.
