Well it was an early start for me this morning, I went to the Casino at 6am! I know what your thinkin' this guy must be addicted 6am thats nuts!! ...Well, I couldn't sleep last night, so I decided to make the 45min drive to Brantford. I sat down with $500 dollars at 5/10, around 1pm I was just about even again. When the poker gods let me have a massive hand. You won't believe what happened!!

I'm in the big blind with :jh :jc seat #3 raises to $10, seat #4 re-raises to $15, the betting comes around to me, I cap it to $20.
It was a family capped pot! $200 dollars already in the pot pre-flop!

Here comes the flop: :2h :js :as I slow roll my trip JJ's because i'm scared of the flush draw on the board, but people bet, raised and I re-raised to a cap, seven players are in the hand! This pot is getting big, people are gathering around the table, because one guy yelled out "let's play bingo" and a floor supervisor was in the audience!

Turn card was my money card! :2s Now the board has a flush, but i'm not worried I have a Fullhouse! I check thinkin that the flush hurt me, but people are still calling and raising, this time I just call the raise because if the river comes an Ace then i'm screwed!! 5 players are now in the hand!

River card is a :kd now a possible straight! I was first to bet, and everyone just calls.... no raises

Outcome: I won, with JJ's over 2's, the others turned there cards over 3 of them had flushes!!!! the other guy was a newbie and made a straight, and thought he had the best hand!

The pot was over $400+ this was my biggest win yet a Brantford! I plan on doin' it again tonight....

Any suggestions if I played this right, or was I just really really lucky??

    Personally.. with a set and a possible flush on the board, I think you need to be raising, re-raising and capping here to take away odds as best you can for the flush draw - besides, as you can tell, you still could hit a full house, and those all become value bets.

    Second, with a full house, you should be betting re-raising and capping like hell at a table with 7 callers! It seems that nothing could chase these people away, I would GLADLY be pushing my money in there.

    Still, a hand of 40X BB is a very profitable one, and bigger than I've ever managed in a single hand! Congrats!

    I agree, I should have been more agressive but I was affraid of 2 things, POCKET ACES or an ACE on the river...with that many people in the hand, I didn't know it was gonna be the best hand...someone could have even hit a royal flush on the river card, if it was a K of spades...so many chances of my hand getting cracked!

    Seeing Monsters under the bed cost you bets...bet, raise, re-raise, cap. Your hand is going to hold up more than enough times to make it worthwhile.

    Congrats on the fat pot.

    You weren't familiar with M.U.B.S,(Monsters under the bed syndrome)

    You certainly weren't afraid of quad twos here right.
    :ah :ac is obviously more plausible but you need to get every bet you can in that pot.

    Great win, congratulations.

    In a capped family pot you will never be able to take away the odds to draw to the flush on the flop.  There is already 40 small bets in the pot.

    The odds of the flush is 1.86:1.  With a set you can raise away for value because you are ahead and  the odds of improving to a FH or better, 1.99:1 gives you a significant redraw.

    Huh?  First of all, the chance of set over set is so small that you should almost never, ever consider it.  If you don't lose a ton of bets in that situation, then you're not playing the hand properly.  The second consideration, is that you're not raising because you fear a potential 2 outer.  If you have aces headsup are you going to check to a smaller pair for fear that they catch their miracle card?  I think not.  Not raising reraising and capping is a horrid leak on the turn.  Nobody's folding in that pot, so punish them, and hope someone catches a strong hand and plays back at you.

    its good to have no idea why you are betting, right?

    AA was a totally plausible hand. But if you see who the pf raisers were and looking at their reactions on the flop and turn.

    Otherwise you have to JAM that hand for maximum value. Worrying about a royal flush (a single outter, since other player would need 2 of the same) or an ace hitting (a 2 outter, since someone would need the ace). You're worrying about less than a 10% possibility. So while you could be jamming 5 more bets for every 1 of yours. You lost out on 5 bets on a 10% or less possibility. You missed out on some key EXPENSIVE bets on the turn.

    Otherwise, nice pot!

    I'm an extremely tight player, I would have capped pre-flop and flop, had any other spade on the turn came that did not complete the boat I would have checked it down (with so many in someone has the flush) but as it was the duece you have to cap the rest of the way, period. A great pot but you missed some bets.

    I don't mean to come across as rude or as pissing in your ice-cream but...

    The turn check was awful. You lost $50 because of your weak tight play.

    RAM, JAM, RAM and RAM HARDER!!
    ...the chance of set over set is so small...

    So what are the chances of this hand
