Nice week

Another good day today, actually breaking my best one-day results posted 4 days ago. While I feel like I played well, I will say that my good hands mostly held up again and one big hand helped make it a great day:



I limp with 44 in mid position. cutoff raises $1.25, button calls and the guy to my right calls. Price is right to see the flop so I call. Flop is 49T rainbow. I check, cutoff bets $3, button folds but the guy to my right calls. I raise to $12.75 only to see the original raiser shove all in for his last $24 and the other guy shove right along with him for about the same amount. At this point, I figure there's a good chance I've been outflopped set over set, but the pot is so big that I can't fold. Turn is a 9 and river is a 7. Cutoff shows AA and guy to my right shows JQ offsuit. I drag the $73.50 pot and exhale. Again, the best hand (postflop) held against a lot of draws that could have sunk me. I need to remember these days for the times when the suckouts make me feel like the best hand never holds.
