$200 NL FR at Bodog, 9-handed.

I raise 88 in the HJ to $10 after 1 limper. I've been raising pretty aggressively, and this time everybody decides to take a stand at once: I get 3 callers, 1 behind me, the BB, and the limper. I'm not looking forward to this ....

Pot $41 and it comes [Td][8s].

Checks to me, I CB smallish, and the button immediately minimum raises me. Other two fold. I reraise quickly, the button thinks for all of 2 seconds and shoves. He has more than a full stack and I cover. He turns over [5s] after I obv instacall.

Now that was one sweet semi-bluff my friend ... but, um, I don't know how to say this ... doesn't a semi-bluff require you to have some outs???

Huge hand, tiny pot.

But ($18.75)
BB ($233)
Hero (SB) ($275.50) [6s]

Button limps, Hero raises to $8, BB folds, button calls.

Pot $18. [3h][7h]. Hero bets $18, button calls all-in and shows [3c].

Turn .

I dont have the HH but I had a fun one the other night.

$50 NL Bodog.

I raise in MP with AA, I raised the 3 hand previous hands. I make it $2.50, BB makes it $10 he has $25 or so left so I decide to just smooth call. Flop is A A 7 (no idea of the suits who really cares. SB pushs........ hmmmmmmm yeah I think quads is good enough for a call. Villain has 66

A really fun hand from Vegas a couple summers ago. 5/5 $500 at the MGM, I had just got off the plane and hadn't even checked in yet. I leave my bags with the concierge, til it was late enough we could check in. 3rd hand at the table, I get JJ in LP. I make it $40, get 4 callers. Flop is 9, Sb bets $100, MP pushs for $1500. I actually looked back at my cards to make sure I had JJ, I think for a couple min and call obv. SB calls instantly with A9, MP proudly turns over , sorry dude drawing dead . Anyone think $1000 every 3 hands is sustainable?
