Oh there was one other notable hand.
I had 88, got 2 callers preflop -- one on the button, one on the BB.
Flop Kh8h2h
I bet the flop, button folded, BB called.
Turn Ah. He checked, I checked.
River 5s. He checked, I checked.
I considered betting both streets (the turn to prevent a flush from appearing on the board and chopping the pot, the river for value, if he had a king and couldn't lay it down), but I decided not to in each case. On the turn, I thought there was a much better chance I was behind (he had a 1-card flush), and could even get check-raised if he had the Qh, so I felt checking and waiting for the board to pair was much smarter. On the river, I thought the chances were higher that he would fold with no heart and call with a low heart, so again I felt checking was the right option.
I was right on both streets -- but he didn't have one heart -- he had two!
He turned over 9h5h for the flopped flush, and was obviously waiting for the turn to jam me, but slowed down when the 4th heart hit.
