That's Mr. Luckbox to you

Here is a hand on PokerStars that I actually thought out each step of the way and, admittedly, got lucky to take it down.

Poker Stars, $0.10/$0.25 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 4 Players
LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter

UTG: $19.45
BTN: $25.40
Hero (SB): $32.35
BB: $4.95
Pre-Flop: 6 A dealt to LZFSB3 (SB)
UTG raises to $0.50, BTN folds, LZFSB3 calls $0.40, BB folds

I called the minraise here because Trikkur has instilled in me to punish minraisers. He would have raised him here instead of just calling.

Flop: ($1.25) 4 A A (2 Players)
LZFSB3 bets $1.25, UTG raises to $2.50, LZFSB3 calls $1.25

Good flop for me but my kicker sucks. This was a feeler bet to see where I was in the hand and when he min-reraised I knew he had an ace but that min raise was still worth calling.

Turn: ($6.25) 6 (2 Players)
LZFSB3 bets $5.25, UTG raises to $16.45 and is All-In, LZFSB3 calls $11.20

Bingo!! Somebody is getting stacked now. I wanted enought of a raise to get the villain to go all in and this worked out perfectly.

River: ($39.15) 2 (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

Results: $39.15 Pot ($1.90 Rake)
UTG mucked K A and LOST (-$19.45 NET)
LZFSB3 showed 6 A (a full house, Aces full of Sixes) and WON $37.25 (+$17.80 NET)

This guy wasn't very happy with me but I never would have been in the hand if he hadn't just minraised.
