My image was tight and no one entered yet so I tried to steal. I get called and decide to make a cont. bet. with the idea that I would let it go after that, but i hit the gutshot.

He was steaming.

Well-played, but I probably raise more on the turn. Otherwise, excellent.

Nice hand. I've got some gutshot catches to of my own share -- steal attempts that went awfully well. NL25 is full of donks isn't it?

How could opponent possibly raise me on the river on that board?

I put opponent on a flush draw, so at 1st I was quite pissed at the river. But he had a set instead. A very poorly played set, might I add.

Well played. Like Diamond said, though, I would have put an extra $1 or $2 raise on the turn, but it worked out either way.


BBQSquirrel, that first hand was one of the worst plays with AA I have ever seen (by your opponent obviously). He played it extremely weak until there was 4 cards to the straight? Uggh!
The second hand was a pretty tough break for Villain, but at the same time he HAS to raise that flop. Too many cards hurt him.

Nice plays by both of you.
