Got lucky in the big hand of the day
Hero $450 w JJ from utg
$6 straddle from button, and I make it $40 after 1 caller.
Thought bout $25 or $30 but action table so sized up. Tilt Morocco guy ($350) on my left (stuck $500) calls. Another guy ($400) who is also heading towards Tilt road from middle position calls. Wd anyone else like to cold call? ???
4 to the flop. Pot $160
10d7d8s
I lead $45 w overpair gut shot.
Tilt Morocco guy calls, and his road buddy decides to ship his stack of $350.
This steaming guy #2 is at least a ‘thinking player’. Therefore, I feel the raise wd b smaller if he is super strong. It’s draw heavy flop, and I’m blocking straights. Also I hold the Jd w a gut shot. I’m basically putting this guy’s top range of pair+draw, and bottom something like a A9suited. F his draw, I call.
Tilt Moroccan Guy #1 snaps and rolls over what I’m blocking lol. The straight.
Pot is $1200
Turn is Jh

blow out the fn candles!!!
After the hand never saw tilt #2 holdings, but he was a little down after both calls of his all-in. Which made me think a 9X or diamonds.
Behind the $40k pace but we have a pulse. We ain’t dead
