BIG POT

I had 77 in the small blind. The pot was immediately raised to $15, and three guys called before me, so I had no trouble calling.

Flop = 76Q, two clubs.

On the morning, I had already wasted two sets that flopped with three flushes, which I had to check/call to the river, looking for the boat. I lost both of those. This was a substantial pot already. I checked under the gun, looking for a big check-raise, but the check went all the way around.

Turn = Q clubs.

I've got my boat, so I'm hoping somebody made their flush. Nobody seems to have a Q, because I can't imagine he wouldn't have bet it out on the flop. I check and it almost makes it around again, until there is a tentative $4 bet. I raise to $15, and the preflop raiser calls.

River is another club, putting four on the board.

I have a pretty good idea that this guy must have one of the top two clubs, and will call any bet. We both have around $350, and I consider putting it all in there. But I want the call, so I bet a cool $100. He called and I raked.
