the poker gods giveth as well as taketh..

Last hand of a LHE session that had not gone esp well...

Hero is UTG with AdKd - raises 2 folds

MP player calls - nothing known about him

Villain calls in LJ - plays all sorts of suited Aces and sc's and will not fold if has a chance of getting there...then springs to life..

HJ calls and rest fold

Flop - Ah As Kc - can I get an 'Amen'? 

Hero bets, MP calls, villain calls and HJ folds

Turn - 6c - yipee (if this was Ancient Rome I'd sacrifice a few animals); my guess is that villain just got there.. I bet and both call...

River: Th - can I get another 'Amen' as JQ just got there too...

I bet, mp folds (sob) and villain raises, I 3 bet (having the stone nuts) and he caps....I call and win a 17bb pot (after PS rake)...

Just sometimes..it is all worth it...
