BB: $13.26
UTG: $12.75
UTG+1: $25.00
MP1: $10.28
Hero (MP2): $18.75

CO posts a big blind ($0.25)

Pre Flop: ($0.60) Hero is MP2 with 9s Js
UTG raises to $1, 1 fold, MP1 calls $1, Hero raises to $3.25, 4 folds, UTG calls $2.25, 1 fold
Gotta go crazy & re-raise with J9 suited; it's the NUTS (of course)!

Flop: ($8.10) 6c 3h Kh (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $4, UTG calls $4

Turn: ($16.10) Jh (2 players)
UTG bets $5.50 all in, Hero calls $5.50
Hmm... Smells like a pocket pair that has NO IDEA where he is. Now he's going to turn his hand into a bluff because why else would he all in with the 3rd heart?

River: ($27.10) 6d (2 players - 1 is all in)

Final Pot: $27.10
UTG shows Ts Td (two pair, Tens and Sixes)
Hero shows 9s Js (two pair, Jacks and Sixes)
Hero wins $25.75
(Rake: $1.35)
Bingo!

Stupid me... I didn't trust it this time. I need to learn to trust the power of the J9 suited:

MP1: $26.15
MP2: $15.48
Hero (CO): $40.85

Pre Flop: ($0.35) Hero is CO with 9d Jd
1 fold, UTG+1 raises to $1, 1 fold, MP2 calls $1, Hero calls $1, 2 folds, BB calls $0.75

BB checks, UTG+1 bets $2.75, MP2 raises to $5.50, Hero folds, BB folds, UTG+1 calls $2.75
With an open ender, I plan on calling UTG+1's bet. When MP2 min raises, I expect UTG+1 to 3bet all in, which is why I have to fold.

Turn: ($15.10) 2d (2 players)
UTG+1 bets $9, MP2 calls $8.98 all in
I would have turned an open ended straight + flush draw!

River: ($33.06) Qd (2 players - 1 is all in)
I would have nailed the rivered flush!

Final Pot: $33.06
UTG+1 shows Kc Kd (a pair of Kings)
MP2 shows 7d 7c (three of a kind, Sevens)
MP2 wins $31.41
