Fairly nitty play again. Caught a lucky full house to win a big pot but other than that I played tight and solid, using my image and applying pressure to the weak players (including the guy with the 4 BI stack). I noticed when I opened the table that three of the players had over $50 and one was close to $100, which either means sharks massacring fish or crazy action.

Trips lower kicker rivering a FH:

BB ($23.30)
UTG ($14.75)
Hero ($25.70)
CO ($18.40)
Button ($4.80)
SB ($94.10)

Preflop: Hero is MP with Td, Ks, Kc, Jd.
1 fold, Hero raises to $0.75, 2 folds, SB calls $0.65, BB calls $0.50.

Flop: ($2.25) Th, Ts, 3d (3 players) Trip tens, KJ kicker
SB bets $1, BB raises to $5.15, Hero calls $5.15, SB folds.

Turn: ($13.55) 5d (2 players)
BB bets $12.9 I think he does this often with AA or TJ/T9, Hero calls $12.90.

River: ($39.35) Jc (2 players) Woo! Only losing to JJxx now
BB bets $4.5 (All-In), Hero calls $4.50.

Final Pot: $48.35

BB had 7s As Tc Kd, so I caught a four-outer on him (three jacks and one king). My read was way off here. I just didn't believe he had the case ten.

Here's me abusing a weak-tight who loves to c-bet

BB ($25.20)
UTG ($10.30)
Hero ($37.35)
Button ($40.05)
SB ($100.45)

Preflop: Hero is MP with Ad, 6s, 6h, 5d.
UTG calls $0.25, Hero calls $0.25, Button calls $0.25, SB raises to $1.5, 1 fold, UTG folds, Hero calls $1.25, Button folds.

Flop: ($3.75) Td, 2s, Ac (2 players)
SB bets $3.6, Hero calls $3.60.

Turn: ($10.95) 8h (2 players)
SB checks He's FOS, Hero bets $6.5, Value-bet bluffs FTW SB folds.

Final Pot: $10.95

Obviously much more awesome when I have 369Qr.

Lastly, just to prove I'm still the same.
