. Well only WRTO and GT were close to what I had. so lets look at my play here. The PF raiser and coldcallers were loose and not very dangerous. So I called as I really thought the BB was gonna call too, he had been a lot so I was a little surprised that he didn't. It was gonna be a multiway pot so Having Axs worked for me. Now to the flop. I liked and hated my hand here. So I went into a wa/wb line so as to get as much out of JJ,KK,QQ here and to lose as little to a Big Ace. The flush draw sucked, but I had a bqackdoor nut flush draw. The board pairing made me really think about folding here, but I probably was gonna call one bet and fire out on teh river at a non diamond card. WIth everyone checking I figured that MHWG so I decided to bet and fold to a raise on the river. Okay, for those who said that I had a set, do you read my race reports and my posts when someone has a set on a draw heavyboard, when on earth have I ever advocated playing it that weakly, never and its kind of insulting to think that y'all would think that I'd play it like that. FOr the KJ flush draw people, I would've CRed that flop like nobody's buisness there with that many callers. I would want to pump the pot since I'd have an equity edge for when my flush hit. so lets do some discussion people about my thoughts on the play of the hand
