Total pot: (21.33 BB)

I think the only questionable decision here was betting out on the river... but I figured I would get a call from the open J's if he had two pair, but that he wouldn't bet out himself.

But what do you all think about jamming with the one-gapper to a straight flush? I was fairly confident that no one was going to fold--I'd seen both of the players in question call 2 cold on 3rd. My equity is right smack at 25% assuming I'm against a pair of aces and two other pairs. On 4th I'm getting around 36% equity in a 3 way pot (which I would of course have preferred to keep as a 4 way pot).

As it happened, the person who won the hand proceeded to call me a moron and gave me tons of action for the rest of the session--I made back more than the $36 I lost on the hand just from him. It made me think of what Sklansky says in 7CSFAP about making sure your opponents know you're willing to 3-bet with a 3-flush on 3rd occasionally.

Ya, I frequently do this at a super-loose table. I like everything, including the river bet.
