This had a nice but somewhat lucky ending for me. I played aggressively with 3 BB, 2 BB, and limp bets when I was the small blind and after a couple of hands my opponent was betting in a similar fashion.
Hand 4 I was the BB w/Qh Jh and the Button bet 3 BB (60) I called. Flop: 3h Qd 10h pairing my Q's and giving me a flush draw. I decided to check to see what he did and he bet the pot (120) and I raised him to 240. He folded.
Hand 6 as the Button w/Ad Qd I bet 3 BB (60) like I had done a few times before but didn't get any action as he folded.
The last hand as the Button I had 7c 5c and decided to only bet 2 BB (40) this time and he raised me to 120. I had a small chip lead and decided to call. This is where my luck on this hand started. Flop 5s 5h 6h giving me trip 5's. He bets 240 and I decide to raise him to 480 expecting him to fold or call and he calls. I'm assuming he has something like a high pair. I didn't think about whether he might have a set or not. I thought my trip 5's should be pretty good. Turn Jh which is not a card I wanted to see. He could have a possible flush now. He goes all-in with his last 840 chips and I call, which if I lose would leave me only 120 chips. Not good, but I decided to gamble that he didn't have a flush. I was right BUT he had Kh Jd giving him a flush draw on the river. That makes me feel uncomfortable, but otherwise I had him beat at this point. The River is a 7h giving him the flush but also hitting my 7c giving me a FH and the win. That was the 2nd part of the luck.
In retrospect I'm not sure why I decided to call his raise to my initial bet pre-flop with the two cards I had except that if the flop wasn't helpful I could easily fold and my chip stack would still be ok w/1520 chips. Still why should I waste 120 chips at that point?
