I flopped the nuts!

I’m getting a little goofy from playing so tight lately.

When you play 15-20% of your hands, it can happen that you don’t see anything for two or three orbits.  The thing to do there is to just hang tight.  It ends eventually.

It ended for me with pocket aces.  I raised 3BB from UTG+1 and got two callers.  My heart started racing, because duuuude.  Aces.  The flop was 9-9-7.  Nothing good, but nothing bad.  Check.  Check.  I make a pot sized bet.  Fold.  Fold.  That didn’t go as well as I’d hoped, but at least I didn’t get hurt.

I can’t figure out why I was so excited to see AA, though.  It just came at the end of a long folding streak, and it gave me a weird feeling.
