So as I continue my challenge to $1000… I find myself in this position.

UTG: t915 M = 1.74

MP: t1405 M = 2.68

Hero (CO): t4610 M = 8.78

BTN: t2265 M = 4.31

SB: t1880 M = 3.58

BB: t3925 M = 7.48

Chipleader, but my M is under 10.  I want to punish the shorty whenever I can but I don’t ever have cards.

Pre Flop: (t525) Hero is CO with 5 5

Okay, now I have cards.

UTG raises to t890 all in, 1 fold,

Do you doubt or do you call?

Hero calls t890  I call hoping to get other suckers along with the delayed call.

, 3 folds

No such luck. Am I up against a higher PP, or is it a flip?

UTG shows A K (a pair of Aces)

It’s a flip.

Fuel, don’t let me down.

Flop: (t2305) 5 7 8 (2 players – 1 is all in)

BOoooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Turn: (t2305) A (2 players – 1 is all in)

Game Over Man, Game Over

River: (t2305) 2 (2 players – 1 is all in)

Final Pot: t2305

UTG shows A K (a pair of Aces)

Hero shows 5 5 (three of a kind, Fives)

Hero wins t2305

WIN!

Up to a miserable… $27.75

Slow grind it is…
