Hand to Talk About

[Mason Malmuth]

Hi Everyone:

I played poker earlier this evening for the first time this month. The game was $80-$160 at The Bellagio.

Even though it was a full table, everyone passed to me and I raised on the button with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Both blinds called.

The flop was Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]6:[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] giving me the nut flush draw and a gutshot straiht draw. Everyone checked.

The turn was the 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. The small blind checked, the big blind bet, I raised, the small blind folded, and the player in the big blind called.

The river was the 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] giving me the nut flush. My opponent checked, I bet, and he folded.

All comments welcome.

Best wishes,
Mason
