-95 @ The Commerce Casino

New table surrounded by grizzled old-timers. Again I had a hard time making my hands; flopped set of threes ran into a flush on the river (I called because the pot was so big) and pocket 6s and 7s kinda missed the flop but gave me four to a straight. However, the set would have made four to a straight on the board, and if I made my straight it would be the sucker end. My A,3 as big blind lost on the river when my Aces ran into a pair of kings on the board.

But I did have one powerhouse hand. Pocket A in late position. I raised of course. The flop came A,9,9. It was checked to me and I decided to check. The turn was a J and someone bet. I raised. 2 callers. The river was a blank and when I bet I got one caler. Nice pot. Two hands later I had pocket aces again but the turn gave three to a flush, and the A on the river made it four to a flush. I bailed.
