boyish plays 17/14/1. His raise from the CO could be with a pretty wide range, so I figure my 3bet will take it down more than half the time. I am not thrilled to be called, but I still have a decent hand if I can flop something.
** Dealing the flop: 9 of Spades, 9 of Diamonds, Queen of Diamonds
- intrarob bet - $9.00
- boyish called - $9.00
Decent flop for my hand. Villain's call is not ideal, but I could still be ahead of TT, JJ, KQ or even a flush draw (although I would expect him to raise with the flush draw).
** Dealing the turn: 3 of Diamonds
- intrarob checked
- boyish bet - $16.00
- intrarob called - $16.00
I am not thrilled that the flush completes, although I think that the villain would have likely raised the flop with the flush draw. He bets half the pot, so I am getting 3/1 on my call. On balance, I made the call, but I wasn't entirely happy.
** Dealing the river: Queen of Clubs
- intrarob went all-in - $20.10
- boyish went all-in - $14.25
Delightful river card, saves the day! (Although another heart would have been good for me as well, as it turned out)
- intrarob shows: Ace of Spades, Queen of Hearts
- boyish shows: 10 of Spades, 9 of Hearts
- intrarob wins $89.50 from the main pot
