Don't keep them damn 3's unless it's suited:)

The best hand isn't always the winning hand, until all the cards are out.

Playing $4 / $8 Texas Holdem' Limit - I was dealt A3 suited Diamonds...the flop cam 3 clubs 3 hearts 9 clubs...my opponents were holding pocket Kings and Ace high flush draw. Of course I have trips...! so I'm raising. The turn comes King of clubs so now theres a flush draw. Little does the ace high flush know that he's actually third place in the hand and the guy with the Pocket Kings is now in no matter what. He's got KKK33 and I'm only looking at KA333 so little did I know I'm down to one card. But I'm not even thinking about his outs or even if he has me beat I thought for sure he's holding an ACE, KING, OR NINE. Welp, yes sir the river most certainly did come three and I did something that only most players dream about, CHECKING! He raised, so I had to re-raise...he raised and I eventually capped the pot and slowly showed my amazing Quad Threes.
