Granted, the guy with 77 was a pretty easy hand to get him to go all in, but his huge re-raise would suspect him to have at the absolute worse AK, if not a higher PP than me. I was pretty surprised that 77 would warrant a $11 re-raise PF. But, i felt like the guy with KK was played pretty well.

you got real lucky. 2 sets in consecutive hands and in both villain had monster hands which I don't think they can get away from either way.

Well done.

Yeah, not 2 in a row, but they were pretty close together.

You played them well, but you mostly got paid on the first hand because your opponent played very badly on the turn. Second hand, yeah... he was destined to get stacked. I only like your call preflop because of stack size and if your opponent's range is such that he 3-bets more than Aces or Kings.

Sets always seem to come in feast or famine mode. 1 table SNG coupla nights ago, every PP turned into a set, and a couple of them into boats. Just catching like crazy. Pesonally eliminated 7 of the 8 villians, it wasnt even a good match.
