Played 3/5 blinds NLHE at the Reno Hilton laste night and into the not so wee hours of the morning.
I had been running well and had about 800+ to anothers 400 or so at the beggining of this hand.
I limp early with pocket sevens, the other opponent made it 20 to go with pocket tens.I call of course and I think acouple other players also came in, the flop was 10, 9,7.
We go do a little war dance. I have an inkling I am behind, not to a stright but to just the hand he has. I checked raise on the flop, he bet 50 I made it 150. He came back over the top of me, and I counted him down so I shoved it all in. I could not really lay it down, he could of had what he had or something like a striaght, top pair striaght draw.
Any way the turn is a jack, and the river is the eight for a straight on board. I then went and walked on water just for the fun of it a little later. |

Nice one... would have been a lot nicer to have rivered that 7 though, wouldn't it?!?!
It's next to impossible for me to get away from a flopped set. Especially in a case like this, where it was just limp - raise - call before the flop. You had no extra information to work with. Post flop, he could just as easily have bet the way he did with Aces or Kings which is what you were hoping for.
You take your 1/8 chance of breaking him knowing that - of the rare times that you think you are breaking him, he is actually breaking you back 1/10th of the time - and that of those times he is actually breaking you back, you are actually giving him a special double-break-you-back turn around on the river 1/10th of the time. |

Hehe very nice, the other guy should have been feeling fairly confident and it sounds as though you read him pretty well but were still prepared to take the risk and the hands were pretty good at the end.
Good job, but yes I would have still preferred to see a 4th come down on the board. Guess the chances of that were a little low though  |

Ahh, a little harsh indeed 
I'm with easyguy on that one, a 7 on the river would have been sweet as a nut (literally?) but you can't have it all, can you now. |

Some people just want too much!
I'd be content with a pot on this one, the bigger the better preferably. That was well played and you even got a good read in there which is a bonus. |
