Clarification for Hand #3 in Fro's post below:

I have AT and raise the bet to $7 before the flop. Fro and Glaze both call the raise.

Flop is A46 rainbow and with ~$21 in the pot I lead with a $25 bet. Fro and Glaze both call.

This leads me to belive that Todd has an Ace with any kicker, but likely not a face card because he didn't come back over the top of my pre-flop raise. I think Fro probably has a small piece of the flop or a straight draw but with his tendency to play almost any hand in NL I can't be sure until I see his reaction to the turn.

Turn is 8. At this point I start to get nervous. Had it been 9 or higher I would have bet the shit out of pot because I know that I have top pair and likely the best kicker. Instead, I'm scared of Fro's straight so I check with the intention of check raising if Glazer bets or folding if Fro bets or raises him first. Instead, everyone checks and I'm pissed off. Now I have given a free card and have no more information except that I am likely ahead of Glazer and either behind Fro's 2 pair or giving him a free chance at his draw. (I don't think he would have called the bet on the flop had he not been able to beat an Ace).

Fifth Street is 5 and looks to have hit someone right in the gut. I can't beat a straight and even if Fro just has two crappy pairs I still can't beat that either. He overbets big with $100 and I consider for a moment that he may just be bluffing but in any case I know that my hand just isn't strong enough to keep him honest, so I fold. If I had made aces up I likely would have called, but then the hand wouldn't have played out the same way so there's no sense in speculating.

That's my side of it, at least.
