MORE PL POKER

I had not played for several days after some bad beats, but anted up again after the Mickelson money came in. I tripled my money before running into this bad beat.

I held AA

There was a $3.50 raise in front of me and a $3.50 call. I raised it $15 deciding not to fool around. Only the orignal caller saw my $15 bet.

The Flop was TQ5 rainbow: He had about $25 in front of him and when he checked I bet that amount. He called with JJ.

The turn was 9
The river was 8: He picked up two perfect cards to beat me.

It was one of those hands that he may mucked if he had as much money in front of him as I did. Instead, he decided to gamble and see two cards for the price of one.
