2nd Best Hand Night @ Dave's!

It was one of those nights.... at least 5 times last night, I flopped or turned a boat only to have someone turn or river a better boat. Once I turned the nut flush only to be beat by a straight flush! How I got with all my private parts, I don't know!

There were a couple of hands late that I think Dave wanted me to mention ... and then choke on! We were playing $5/$10 No Limit Head's up. I had A, A and raised $25 pre-flop, Dave called. The flop was Q, 7, 5 and I bet $40, Dave re-raised $50 and I went all in and he called. I didn't see the cards, but he said that he flopped a set of sevens. I believe him. The turn was a queen and the river was (horns blaring).... my ace! Sweet! That took him down to about $35 remaining and over the next 20 minutes, he did a great job of building that up to over $200. The final big hand of the night went something like this.... I had As, 7s and Dave raised to $25 straight. I called the flop was 5h, 5s, 6d. Dave bets $40 and I call. The turn was 7h. Dave bet $75 and I called and that's when he mumbled something about me having a 5. The river was the 5d. Dave pushed all in for another $265. After a minute or two of deliberation, I called with about $225 as I just couldn't put him on a 5 or an overpair. He turned over nothing and I busted him out in the next hand when he pushed all in and I called with A, Q and the 2nd nut no pair held up.

Nice playing! I really do enjoy heads up play.
