Hey, first time posting here, I'll try to follow the cool format.

Once upon a time...

UTG+1 - 2009 in chips (66.83bbs)
LJ - 1630 in chips (54.2bbs)
HJ - 1293 in chips (42.97bbs)
CO - 3287 in chips (109.43bbs)
BTN - 2211 in chips (73.57bbs)
SB (Hero) - 1114 in chips (36.5bbs)
BB - 1815 in chips (59.37bbs

Preflop, 77 chips (2.57bbs) :
UTG: folds
UTG+1: folds

LJ: raises 30 to 60
HJ: folds
CO: folds
BTN: folds

SB (Hero): A♥:J♥: :pcuser: raises to 180
BB: calls 150
LJ: calls 120

Flop, 572 chips (19.07bbs):
K♦: T♥: Q♥:
Hero: :profit: checks
BB: bets 286
LJ: calls 286

Hero: :pokerface: calls 286

Turn, 1430 chips (47.67bbs):
K♦: T♥: Q♥:K♥:
Hero: :yaoming: checks
BB: bets 1345 and is all-in
LJ: calls 1160 and is all-in

Hero: :milord: calls 644 and is all-in

Hero shows A♥: J♥: (a Royal Flush) :truestory:

BB shows A♣: J♦: (a straight, Ten to Ace) :|

River, 4394 chips (146.47bbs):
