Frustrating

Went fishing today and caught a few but I think it's safe to say that I shall never be an angler, I'm pretty sure that the trees were in more danger than the fish!

Anyway played this evening whilst watching the baseball and had a fairly disappointing evening, just couldn't get anything going at all. Ended up about $600 ahead but it was less than impressive. Best hand of the evening is below

Really happy with how this one went, I called the raise knowing I was probably behind as it had been a limped pot. Was pretty sure he had a set as I play with him a lot. When I hit the K it was just a matter of encouraging him to put his entire stack in. Think I played it quite nicely as I would have check folded the KK on the turn if he'd shown strength and I hadn't hit. It's so important to be able to lay the big pairs down and I think that's the area most people suffer worst with - the number of times you see KK and AA get stacked by overvaluing their hand post flop is unbelievable.

Hopefully a better day awaits
