Shitty poker weekend (part 1)

Short version - this weekend fucking sucked.  Nonstop losing.  Then one giant win, followed by a more giant loss on the same night so I couldn't even enjoy the win.  Overall, a total failure of epic proportions.

I guess the overall dollar value I lost isn't THAT big - around $700.  But it was just demoralizing.

Venetian - Friday night (part 1)

Venetian

I went up to the Venetian after work on Friday night by myself.

I raise under the gun with 10-10 to $10.  The big blind calls.  Flop is A-J-8 with 2 diamonds.  He checks, I bet 14, he calls.  Turn is a 10 (boom!) but it's also the third diamond.  He checks, I bet 35, he calls.  River is an offsuit 5.  He checks.  I bet $50, and I think if he check-raised me I could fold assuming he made the flush.  He calls, I win.

Few limpers and I raise K-K from the blind to $20.  One caller.  Flop is 10-9-7 with 2 spades.  I bet $35, he folds.

Raise with A-J to $12 after one guy limps.  I get 2 callers.  Flop is J-2-3.  I bet $25, everyone folds.

I raise K-Q to $10 from middle position.  2 callers.  Flop is 7-9-10, all diamonds.  I have the king of diamonds.  I bet $10 (not sure if that's accurate, would normally bet $15), get 1 caller.  Turn is the 4 of clubs. We both check.  River is a queen.  I bet $30, he folds.

Gotta run, I'll continue the weekend recap later.
