First Beat of the Day: Kings Cracked!
When I looked down at K♣K♦, I was delighted!
Pocket Kings, the second best hand in Texas Hold'em, is a beautiful sight and I was ready to put my chips to use after taking down a few early pots.
The button made it 300 and called when I made it 1,100.
I was very fond of the J♦9♠6♣ flop and continued for 800.
On the 8♥ turn, I opted for a check when my opponent bet 3,000 and called.
The river was a brick and I went for a second check. The button sized up to 5,000. After some brief thought, I called with my overpaid.
"Straight," said the button who tabled Qx10x.
