Up to -159, beating up a big stack bully

Long, slow night, good cards first two hands then lots and lots and lots of drawing hands that never hit.

Table was pretty standard - some good players with solid stacks.

A few weaklings coming and going.

My date was already waiting in the car and decompressing, and I told them I'd be out in 20-25 minutes.

I'd already decided that this hand would be my last hand before I saw my cards - I was probably down to around $200 and change (from my starting stack of $300)

Got A/10 clubs one or two seats before the dealer (good position) - and there was decent action, so I called.

The flop comes garbage/club/club - and a bet from bully big stack of $15/$20 got called over to me, and I called.

Turn come club, with no pairs, and everyone checks to the table bully, who checks it around to me - I toss $25 into the pot and he calls.

River comes garbage - and I've got the nuts.  I throw in another $20/$25 and he comes over the top at either $75 or $100 . . .

With my minimum raise really not doing too much to the statistics to go all in - I don't try to calculate odds too much between  and double check my cards, go all in - and he mucks.

Overall, glad to come out with a positive result - glad that no one seemed to get an obvious read on me - walked out with $387 for the night.
