The Poker Meister #46

I should have stacked him. I think he was calling no matter what I bet. Missed opportunity.

BTN: $39.15

BB: $48.50
Hero (UTG): $125.60
UTG+1: $50.00
MP: $53.30
CO: $30.95

Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero is UTG with 9h Jh
Hero calls $0.50, 4 folds, SB calls $0.25, BB checks

Flop: ($1.50) 8s 8h 7h (3 players)
SB checks, BB bets $1, Hero raises to $3, SB folds, BB calls $2

BB checks, Hero bets $4.50, BB calls $4.50

River: ($16.50) 9c (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $7.50, BB calls $7.50
With $16.50 in the pot already, I think I could have bet around $20-$25 and gotten a call - if not more. Bummer that I wasn't thinking more clearly at the time!

Final Pot: $31.50
BB mucks 8d 4d
Hero shows 9h Jh (a straight, Jack high)
Hero wins $29.95
