Congrats **Kitch**!!! Have I really only played in two games this quarter? Somehow I feel that’s probably right, but on the other hand, I somehow thought that was my third. Ah screw it, **GO** ’s probably on top of it. ---

> [@MaxTheVool](#): > > Yeah… if I know you have a set, the right play is for me to bet a ton and get you to fold then.

My night ended poorly. I got cuagt bluffing ad the only reason I did was because I think I was getting frustrated, I won the one big hand and then my stack got whittled away. still good sized, but I was just getting frustrated, got AK and a bad flop,but I think I did the stupid thing of thinking “I’ll be damned if I am not going to get anything out of this AK” and bet pretty big and then kept firing through a blank turn and river. Bad Bad poker. Duke made an excellent call with just a pair of fours. ---

Actually, I had A 4, four cards to a wheel (3 6 5 on the flop). 2 came on the turn, so I had a 6 high straight at the turn and re-raised your $900 bet to $1800. You went all in, another 2 on the river, but too little, too late. ---

That was last night’s SDMB tourney. I had to have a 2 or 7 on the turn or I was gone, got the 2. If a 4 would have come on the river, GO would have out-kickered me! ---

If a 4 would have come on the river, GO would have out-kickered me! A 4 on the river would have given you both a straight, right? Kickers don’t enter into it. ---

Yeah, I guess you’re right on the kicker. I’m so used to getting the short end of the kicker-stick I always figure on getting the worse, but we both would have made a straight on the board. ---
