I won my first big pot

That was scary: I raise MP with Ad2h3hKh in MP, button calls, SB re-raises.

SB has AA I'm sure, but I'm in a squeeze. I decide to call/fold if button re-raises, cause I'm hoping to see a 3 way flop. I call and button only calls. Phew.

The flop is as close to perfect as I can get. Ks 2d 7s. I flopped 2-pair, which is CRITICAL to cracking AA, and even better, I flop nut low draw with my A3. This is better than A2, because SB is highly likely to have AA2, not AA3. SB bets half the flop, I move all-in, and button folds, SB calls. He tables As2sAc4c. I'm not surprised to see the flush draw in the least. Turn is the Jc, and the river is the 6h. I scoop!

I'm just very happy I wasn't unlucky. I manage to fade the spades and the 3 which would have crippled me.
