Flop a set from freeplay, and get the ideal situation. Big success!!

A few hands later, pocket rockets! Always love to see those.
Obviously, as BU, when you've coldcalled the OR from a TAG, and see a shove and overshove, and find yourself with JTo, you instantly call.
To be fair though, he was French. And I only have 70% equity three way.

Well there's always the next hand, and what's this, the rockets again!?! How can my luck be this good!!
Decide to make the old "tilt shove" move UTG with the remaining 10BB, expecting to get a call from some weaker hand. Worked a treat!!
