Tighter than normal 40-80 HE seven handed game. Very few flops

and if there is a flop one bet takes it down. I had just one

a relatively big pot on the previous hand against this same

fellow when this hand comes up. I am first to enter with a raise

on the button with AQh and the small blind makes it three bets.

We see the flop two handed. I doubt he is steaming from before

and he may think I am riding my previous momentum.


The flop comes 225 with one heart. He bets and I call. My call

is certainly debatable, but I do have a backdoor flush draw and

two big cards for whatever they are worth and I have position.


An Ace comes on the turn. My opponent looks disgusted. He checks and I check. A blank comes on the river. He bets and

I raise. He reluctantly calls with pocket Kings.


Comments appreciated
