Mini-Session

Didn't plan on it initially, but ended up the poker room Sunday afternoon for a few hours before GoT.

It was generally uneventful, I was up a tiny bit early and then the deck went cold after that. Later, I got up to over $50 down when I hit a miracle 1 outer (post hand, someone mentioned they tossed a 10). That was the only really interesting hand of the day.

Our Hand: 10s10c

FLOP: 3x-3x-5x

I check, then a bet and a call in front of me. Could the aggressor have a 3? Possibly, but im not folding 10s here in this spot.

TURN: 4x

 Not the greatest of turn cards, but I really dont think A-2 was leading the betting on the flop. I still Im either WAY ahead here or the aggressor has the 3 and I'm way behind.
Check, bet, call, call

Turn: 10d

And just like that, second nuts, and while Im sure no one thinks the 10 is a scare card or changed the outcome of the hand, I do think this has a very likely chance of being a check round if I dont act first. I could be wrong here too though. The aggressor has bet the whole way through, and the other caller has just smooth called the whole way. If he had the 3, he would have raised before now.
This was a pretty tough decision, and it possibly could have cost me an extra $12 or more dollars... but I lead out. Only thing raising me here is quads and a worse full house.
Both players end up calling. Aggressor doesnt show, other caller and same color AA for cracked Aces ($100 bonus). So at least we were both happy.
Behind the whole way and hit a 1 outer, sometimes the best advice is just "be lucky".
Left $50 down for the first losing session in the last 5.

Speaking of advice, if anyone reading has any questions about playing poker in a casino or any other questions you were curious about and never asked, let me know! I'll answer in my next blog posts.
