With one of my best friends in town, I sat down in a great Mirage $10-20 game, had lots of beers and generally tried to keep him from losing his shirt since he's played like 10 hours of holdem in his life.
Well into the night, he's up a ton, I'm stuck a little due to one hand where I flopped a set and a LAG who decided to go 5 bets on the turn with a pair + flush draw got there on the river. In spite of that, image is pretty tight-predictable tonight since I haven't had many playable hands and the few pots I've won have been with stuff like KK and AQ.
The Hand:
I'm not open limping and I decide to use my newfound "tight predictable image powers" and open raise 3 off the button with 7h8h. My buddy folds, guy who likes to chase calls in the CO, the LAG mentioned above 3-bets, SB folds, BB who also likes to chase calls, I call, CO calls.
4 to the flop for 6BBs.
Flop: 6s Th Jd - Checked to the button LAG who bets, BB calls, I call with my gutshot-backdoor flush draw, CO calls. All 4 proceed to the turn with 8BBs in the pot.
Turn: [6s Th Jd] Qs - Checked around.
River: [6s Th Jd Qs] 4c - BB checks, I bet. I mean, I've got to have AK, right?
