Nothing too spectacular in this one. It seemed we were both playing pretty tight early on. I think I picked up something in Sam's betting speed and pulled off a few re-raise bluffs due to it as well as call down with marginal holdings. It might've just been coincidence, but it helped me build a 2400-600 lead when this extremely fun hand took place.

So after Danny Nguyen
doubled up there, I almost raised the immediate following hand with junk, which would've resulted in me bluffing off everything. I instead, I folded and picked up fives on the following hand and decided not to re-raise.NO_LIMIT TEXAS_HOLDEM $10+$1 (Real Money), #515,038,114

Normally I re-raise preflop and I was going for the check-raise on the flop and would've been willing to play it for everything there. Sam got cold-decked here. Nothing really he could do.
