I was a bit scared of the T's and did consider a fold here, but my notes said: This player often calls preflop raises of 1-3$ with high card A or K and he allways slowplay trips. So, After the flop I was pretty sure he didn't have a T or 6's and put him on a high pair at best. The king then scared me a little, but I thought his flop bet was too large for pocket K's with possible set on the table.

Nice hands, boat over boat is always nice. Good notes too, thats something I need to get better at.

When you showed your hand in hand one you should have said "Aices Full, Mikey."

Although at that moment the guy may not enjoy the irony that he got busted with the same hand as Mike McDermott, later on he'll have a good laugh about it.
