[Shermhoy's Weblog] Short Session against a regular on Full Tilt: So he starts off by winning 120 or so when he raised the flop of 4 5 7 two clubs and i had 10 7. I called and turn comes and ace and he fired 150 into a 170 dollar pot. It just didn’t have a good feel to it and I laid it down. I was able to work myself back even by showing some agression and bluffing at some middle sized pots. Then the big hand came up. I had AA and raised to 18 and he called. Flop is 3 5 8 and he checks i bet 27 he calls. Turn is a 3 pairing the board, he checks I bet 67 and he makes it 170 i think for a while fully going to call but wanted to make it look as if i was weak. I put him on a club draw as there were two out there or something like top pair weak kicker. The River blanked as it was no club and it was a 4 and he leads out for 350 really quick..i basically instacalled and he showed 5 7 :). He only had 120 left and the next hand we get it all in on flop he had set and I had nut flush draw and was able to draw out on him. He got up and left after this hand and it was very satisfieing to be able to take down a regular and feel good about my game.
