NLH

Only four hands of note in rounds five and six.

Chair four raises to 400 playing 100 200 and we call from the button with the 34 of clubs. The flop comes 39J with 2 clubs. Key trends and we 800. He calls and the turn comes a 10. Checks and we bet 1800. He pushes all in for 5200. It's 3400 to us to call and the the pot odds simply mandate the call. We call and he shows QK. He turned a gunshot straight. We need a club. The river is a rag and he takes it down.

We are down to 2500 and chips and despite the fact that we have no claws, we begin to hoof our way back up.

Seat 3 limps and everyone else folds to us and we raise to 550 from the button with 99. The blinds fold and seat 3 calls and the flop comes 4JA. Seat 3 checks. He likely has something like suited connectors. We bet 900 and he folds. Good result.

Seat 4 is a short stack and pushes all in for 2500. Everyone folds to us and we call from the button with AK. He shows JJ. The flop comes 236, the turn a T and the river a magic A giving us the pot.

Seat 4 raises to 550 and gets called by Seat 5. We are in the small blind with JJ. The players in the pot have the biggest stacks. We are not going to scare them. If we raise, they could reraise and put us all in. Oddly we have only had three pocket pairs all day today and we are perhaps inappropriately in love with our JJ. We raise to 1750 and they both fold. Good result!

We close round six and head to dinner with about 10500 chips. Hopefully the next update is more than 3 hours away!
