Pete5151: folds
CoheR: raises 180 to 330 Even though I’m raised here, I’m pretty sure I have the best hand and since this was a rebuy tournament he might decide to call me with a big queen or an overpair, so I push..

CoheR: calls 1490 and is all-in

MafiaPrince: raises 4000 to 6000
HEBB007: calls 4000 HEB had just lost a big hand before this, so I knew he was probably going to make a move here when he flat called my raise
*** FLOP *** [4h 4s 6c]
HEBB007: bets 7548 and is all-in He moved in after the flop. My thinking was that he didn’t think I hit any of that and if I didn’t have an overpair I would fold. He was wrong, I felt that my ace high was the best hand so I decided to call

MafiaPrince: calls $10 Called hoping to hit my nut flush draw
capochoza: folds
*** TURN *** [Qh 2d 4h] [7d]
MafiaPrince: checks
CARPY3: checks Realy surprised he checked behind me here, If he throws a big bet here I may be forced to fold
*** RIVER *** [Qh 2d 4h 7d] [5h]
MafiaPrince: bets $15
CARPY3: calls $15
*** SHOW DOWN ***
MafiaPrince: shows [Ah Th] (a flush, Ace high)
CARPY3: shows [Ad Qs] (a pair of Queens)
MafiaPrince collected $60 from pot I hit my flush and won the hand. He had a pretty strong hand in top pair top kicker. I’m not really sure of his logic in checking behind me on the turn, letting me hit my hand and then paying me off.
