Second Break!

Boyle has gone. Went one hand before the break. He called i bet on the turn with a pair on Kings and the 2nd nut flush draw, on a 7 high board. The river gave him the second nut flush without pairing the board. He called when the guy put him allin and the guy had bet the turn with just a bare flush draw. He was short and up for a gamble. Unlucky Joe.

After the break i got down to 3.8k and the blinds are 40/80. Hijack makes it 200, i call in the cutoff with Ah5h4d3c and the button calls. Flop comes 2d2c5d. So here i have two pair which i know isnt infront but i have A 3 4 for a wrap. Anyway the hijack checks, i check and the button bets 400 and the hijack flat calls. Im pretty sure the button is very weak. He is just betting in position hoping the bet gets through but has bet small enough so he doesnt lose too many chips. It was a standard bad bet from a poor play. This spot is quite interesting because the hijack had flat called and not made a continuation bet with an over pair. But i decided to squeeze to try and take the pot plus if i do get a caller i know my wrap is live. My raise was to 2.2k leaving me 800 behind so they knew i wasnt folding. The button folds and the hijack puts me all in. So i obviously call and he has JxJx10x2x. So i need an Ace 3 4 5 6. Turn 6 River 7 is that my 8k. Won a few pots since and got up to 12.5k :-)

Now the blinds are 120/240, im going to pounce on any weakness and play my hands in position strongly. Lets hope i read souls :-)
