Nothing to see here, move along citizens

I know I've been blogging the first this and first that stuff. Just like a new parent marking each new milestone of an infant I can't help pointing out my own series of first accomplishments but that is only because my illustrious online poker and blogging adventure is still shiny and new. Once the luster wears off I'll get down to more substantial items and more in depth analysis...ut until that time I just have to point out the hand of the day:

I pick up AhQs9dTs, three broadway cards single suited. I always prefer to have a suited ace but sine I'm in the BB I'll certainly play this hand for free which I get to do as the table limps to my option, check. Three to the flop of KsJsAs and I do a quick scan of my cards. I see a lot of spades so that's good but again the problem with not having a suited ace is that you don't know where you stand necessarily. Wait a second. I guess I do know where I stand after the ultimate "now we flop the nuts" moment. Operation chip extraction commence! I'll start off with the oh so cliche min bet when the SB checks to me and I collect two callers. Good, maybe someone has a smaller flush or a straight or two pair looking to boat up (and I hope they get there). Possible someone has a set but usually people pop it with AA or KK. Maybe a JJ set but we'll see. Turn is Kh. Excellent. That could have just improved someone to a better second best hand. SB checks, I min-bet again, third player min-raises. Delicious. SB folds and I min-raise back (yeah, I know). He flat calls. River is 5d and I let the timer run down a little before firing a bet of .14. He thinks a little then calls showing Kc3d6c6d for trip kings with irrelevant kicker and on that board trip kings is pretty much the nuts. Don't think I could have gotten much more out of that hand. Like the saying goes, for a big pot you don't just need a big hand you need another player with another big hand, like trip kings on a paired, suited, three liner to a straight board.

Just plugging along. Another 381 hands good for $1.62 of sugar. After two days my chart looks like this:
