Now that i've finally got over the jetlag (what was all that about!), it's about time i posted something from our trip to Las Vegas.
I have
in the SB. There is an early postion raise to $15 (normal raise is to $10, so does not look too untoward), 3 callers! before i call (im trying to hit my set).
Flop
. I'm first to act. Pot is approx $52. I bet $50. Original raise goes all in for $105. 1guy calls saying 'its about time i went to dinner'. I then know that i have this guy beat, so i go all in for a total of $165, meaning that the caller has to put another $65 into the pot. I might well be losing to 1st all in guy who could have a better set or AQ, but im getting at least $130 back, as long as i beat the caller. So great value. Caller then calls my extra $65.
On their backs
1st guy

. I look in amazement at this card.
SB bets $30 Sweet! 2nd guy re-raises to $60. Even Sweeter!! I know he has hit his flush, and i hope its a high one.;
I decide to go all in for $134. First guy folds. 2nd guy looks at me and says 'unless you have
