We can elect to bet the flop here, but if we're reraised we're out of the hand. After a show of turn weakness, we might as well make a small bet to try to win the pot. On the rivers we wonder if he picked up 2 pair. It's possible he stuck around with a high ace (probably AQ\AK). So why do we raise? Honestly I just didn't read the board well enough. Do we think hes gonna call a large-ish turn bet with an ace? Possibly if he's really bad.

Our raise isn't terrible, but is he really gonna push a PSB with just a high ace? If we see him as good player, no. Best case scenario is he has a low set and was slow playing. Possibly 2 pair. Odds are, he did make a strange turn call and hit big with the weird gutshot draw. This might be one of the only times, discluding flush boards when checking behind with a set is a good idea.


All in all, lost a few buy ins to start, but after a hot streak in 1/2 Limit poker, I ended up +10 for the night. BB/100 still looking good, but I have to slow down a bit and stop forcing action if I want to hit my March goals.

Good news is, it looks like Gold Star VIP is very achievable, if not platinum.
