Gotcha Great Blue Heron
So after going 0 for 3 at the Great Blue Heron Casino (north of Toronto), I finally got a win.
I played $5/$10 limit Hold'Em - Canadian (equals $5.15/$10.30 U.S).
I played for 3 hours, won 2 pots and chopped 1 pot in those 3 hours, and won $155 Canadian. The pots were pretty big. The players were just as bad at this session as in the earlier 3 sessions.
In one pot, I got to put in 6 bets on the river against a real hot-head donkey type. The board was A-K-2-3-5 rainbow.
Quiz time. What could I hold that would allow me to put in 6 bets on the river? Not too hard to figure out is it?
After the fish calls my last bet and says something like, "I guess were chopping", he shows down A-4. I say, "I don't think so" as I take the pot with 4-6. I thought I might end up a victim of poker violence right then and there. He wanted to injure me. It was very fun.

I'd say my play was moderately fishy. I was in the cutoff with 4h-6h. Two players limp before me and the button was pretty passive. I thought I could see a flop for 1 bet with a small suited connector. This was my last round of the night so I decided to play it.
The flop comes Ad-2s-5d. All 6 of us check. Free card - yipee! The turn is a pretty good card - 3s. So the board reads Ad-2s-5d-3s. I hold 4-6 i.e., the nuts.
But there is a double flush draw out. The BB bets, a MP calls, I call, button folds, SB folds. We go to the river 3 handed.
An offsuit King comes off on the river. I still have the nuts.
BB bets, MP calls, I raise, BB 3 bets, MP folds, I 4 bets, BB 5 bets, I 6 bet, he calls and says something like, "well, I guess were chopping".
Score one for the Americans!
