Back from Vacation, and back in Black

Ending Bankroll: 599$ [ Up 55$ ]

Well just finished playing about 2 hours of 25NL 6-max. Only had two tables that didnt break. One of them I didn't play a single big pot, but just kept winning small pot after small pot and worked up 35$ profit. The other table was mostly uneventful except for this hand, which is also a good example of why it's a good idea to constantly be reloading your stack.

Ok, I want to take this right here.
Jenson1981: raises $1.50 to $3
Hmm, he doesn't want to let me. I have no read on this player unfortunately. He just moved to the table and this is his 2nd hand. I decide to make a loose-ish call.
LOVINDUKE: folds
Kadrin: folds
crushmastac: calls $1.50
*** FLOP *** [Jd 8d Td]
Sweet. 4 shots at broadway, two overs, AND the NFD. HUGE flop for me.
crushmastac: checks
With the intention of check-raising
Jenson1981: bets $2.75
crushmastac: raises $9.25 to $12
Put him to the test .. please jam please jam please jam
Jenson1981: raises $11.80 to $23.80 and is all-in
Woohoo! Snap call. I figure his range is TT+, AJs+, maybe KdQd? Against that range, I don't have an exact number, but I figure I must be a favorite, or in the very least close to even money.
crushmastac: calls $10 and is all-in
*** TURN *** [Jd 8d Td] [7h]
*** RIVER *** [Jd 8d Td 7h] [Kd]
Haha, both my sets of outs collide and I get my joker.

crushmastac: shows [Qh Ad] (a flush, Ace high)
Jenson1981: mucks hand
crushmastac collected $48 from pot
First big drag in a while. Felt good.
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot $50.50 Rake $2.50
Board [Jd 8d Td 7h Kd]
Seat 1: Kadrin (button) folded before Flop
Seat 2: crushmastac (small blind) showed [Qh Ad] and won ($48) with a flush, Ace high
Seat 3: Jenson1981 (big blind) mucked [Js Jh]
Dang! Turns out he was actually ahead almost 6 to 4, so I got a bit lucky.

I'll take it.

Nothing else interesting to report. Wanted to crack 600, but my big table broke and I'm starving... So, lunch time.
