I had just read an article found on this forum telling me that AA doesn't bring in the big money. Well, sometimes it does

0.25%0.5$ NL 10 players

Hand 1:

Dealt to Borax: (A

)
Borax raises 2$ from second position
X calls
Y rearises to 4.5$ (the rest folds)
Borax reraises to 9.5$
X calls
Y calls
FLOP (9

)
Borax bets 5$
X raises to 10$
Y reraises to 20$
Borax thinks for 29.5 seconds and reraises to 38$
X calls
Y calls
TURN (2

)
Borax bets 9.5$ and is All in
X calls
Y calls
RIVER (Q

)
X checks
Y bets 1$ and is All in
X calls (0.5$ left.)
Borax shows (A

) a full house A's full of 9's
X shows (K

) a flush

A high
Y shows (A

) a full house 9's full of A's
Borax wins pot 8-)

Hand 2:

Dealt to Borax: (A

)
Borax raises 2$ from third position
X calls (rest folds)
FLOP (6

)
Borax bets 2$
X raises to 12$
Borax calls
TURN (K

)
Borax checks
X bets 15$
Borax calls
RIVER (7

)
Borax checks
X bets 11.5 $ and is All in
Borax calls
Borax shows (A

) two pairs A's and T's
X shows (K

) two pairs K's and T's
Borax wins pot 8-)

I was a bit scared of the T's and did consider a fold here, but my notes said: This player often calls preflop raises of 1-3$ with high card A or K and he allways slowplay trips. So, After the flop I was pretty sure he didn't have a T or 6's and put him on a high pair at best. The king then scared me a little, but I thought his flop bet was too large for pocket K's with possible set on the table.

Nice hands, boat over boat is always nice. Good notes too, thats something I need to get better at.

Is that guy still part of the forum??

When you showed your hand in hand one you should have said "Aices Full, Mikey."

Although at that moment the guy may not enjoy the irony that he got busted with the same hand as Mike McDermott, later on he'll have a good laugh about it.
