** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to hockeyfan04 [ 3h 3d ]
jtjohns raises [$0.75 USD]
hockeyfan04 calls [$0.75 USD]

standard call w pocket pair, players behind are pretty passive so not worried about a 3 bet pushing me out

Janische calls [$0.75 USD]
imkidspeedy folds
Ectrie folds
WaPoHoB folds
** Dealing Flop ** [ 3s, 9h, Tc ]
jtjohns bets [$2.00 USD]

i actually forgot utg was pfr, for some reason i was thinking guy behind was raiser- oops
so i was hoping he had an overpair and would pop it trapping donk bettor -

had my head not been up my tailpipe i would have made a smallish raze 2.5x or so that would look like a draw
hoping pfr had a big pr and would repop it, or let an AK or AQ hand think they had a lot of outs so they could call


hockeyfan04 calls [$2.00 USD]
Janische folds
** Dealing Turn ** [ 7h ]
jtjohns bets [$5.00 USD]

head still up tailpipe here, no reason for him to fear the 7,it only completes 77 J8 68 hands
but a scare card could come on river and kill action
should have put in about 3x raise here

hockeyfan04 calls [$5.00 USD]
** Dealing River ** [ 8h ]

voila!!!!, scare card comes he instachecks
jtjohns checks

i should have bet here a smallish value bet and be ready to call a check raise
he was betting hole time, so would have bet a str8 or backdoor flush

hockeyfan04 checks
jtjohns shows [9s, Ts ]
hockeyfan04 shows [3h, 3d ]
hockeyfan04 wins $15.80 USD from main pot

notice i won about 7 bucks, but had i raised flop or turn would certainly have stacked him since he thought his 2 pair was disguised
i missed a stack of value by not raising when i should have, look familiar to anybody/

fyi- i will go broke here every time if the guy has tt or 99
