I'm not a proud man

But I'll take whatever comes my way. That goes for money and women. Mostly money.

Here is my thinking ....

For the most part I'm pretty passive in pots. If I enter a pot it's likely from a limp. If I raise I've probably got a strong pair or strong ace. This particular hand I thought about raising but decided to limp anyways.

Based on how the play unfolded with the family pot, I thought my KJ was good on the flop. I figured if someone had AJ they would have raised pre-flop. With the heart draw out there I raised it up. The flat call from Napa and Mitey surprised me but not terribly. I put them both on some sort of pair. This was about my 45th hand at the table and they have both had to rebuy. Their play is extremely erratic and my player notes said they would play any face card. The reraise from Momma made me think she had a very strong draw. But I went ahead and called it because I thought I was ahead.

The turn I thought was a good card for me. It was low and gave me a 4 card 2nd nut flush draw. Momma's dollar bet into a 4 dollar pot told me she didn't have a flush, it was more like she was scared money so I called hoping to luckbox on the river.

I should have bet the river, but I've been burned so bad on 4 flush boards I was scared to do it.

Anyways, long story short, napa and mitey are total fish. They played crap like J3 off, 93 off, etc. and they both did it from any position. Mitey had to reload 4-5 times for 4 bucks a pop each time. Napa was a little better, he didn't reload once while I was there but he almost got felted a few times.
