i must admit that i have not been playing poker for that long, and i am not too good at it lol but i did have the good lord looking down on me today.

i was in a late position on a 10 man $.50/$1 cash game. there was 2 callers and i was holding A3 Suited (diamonds) so i thought i would have a little look. flop comes down A (spades) 3( clubs) 10 (diamonds) i had hit two pair and with the previous calls before the flop i thought that i was winning the hand anyway. one of the players infront of me checked and the other player made a $5 raise into a $3 which i do not think is that good a play but i felt compelled to call holding 2 pair. the next card comes down 7 ( diamonds) this obvously gives me an outside attempt at a straight draw but felt it was not helping him in anyway. the player infront of me checked so i decided to place a pot bet or around $13. the player come right above me with a bet of $23 all in i could not see where he was going to beat me so i called.

i turned over my A3 of diamonds showing two pair the other guy was sitting with pocket 10s so was sitting with 3 of a kind. for some reason i did not feel that the hand was over. when the river come over it was a Q (diamonds) this give me the flush well to say the least my opponent was not a happy chappy lol. but i feel that from a middle position he should deffo not be trying to slow play a hand like 1010 espically at the limit we were playing at.

what do you think?
