Wow, this hand is pretty sick! It's an interesting choice to open jam for double the pot on the river, but it's fair because it's pretty low-stakes and could easily be seen as a bluff--especially when the villain has the second nuts.

This hand took me within sight of the money, but sadly I didn't quite make it.
Partly I think I chickened out on a few 1-card draw hands.
