Wynn Monday

Wynn 1/3 NL - Monday, February 18th

Let's just get into it.  Also this is a bonus blog - since I have so many queued up now I figured I'd drop an extra one in this week on a Tuesday, breaking away from the Monday/Thursday schedule.

BTW, Dyzzl pointed out that I should be posting stack sizes and positions in these hands.  I agree and I'm going to start trying to keep track of that information better.  However, I'm still transcribing hands that happened weeks ago at this point.  Also, it's pretty difficult to write everything down accurately all the time.  I'm trying to get better about it, but it's tough.  So please bare with me.  :-)

Hand 1 : I raise A-K to 15, get 2 callers.  Flop is 10 high.  They both check to me, I bet $30.  First guy calls, next guy is all in for $5 more.  :P  We both call.  Turn is a king.  He checks, I bet $90, he folds.  Other guy flopped a set of tens.

Hand 2 : There is a straddle.  I open to $22.  Big blind goes all in for $140.  I fold.

Hand 3 : I am on the button with A-K.  The cutoff raises to $12.  I reraise to $40.  He calls.  Flop is Q-x-x.  He checks, I bet $55, he raises me $65 more, I fold.

Hand 4/5 : Raise 9-9 on button and win a small pot.  Very next hand (with a straddle) raise 9-9 and lose a much bigger pot.

Hand 6 : Call $12 with 3-3, miss.

Hand 7 : Guy raises to $13.  I have pocket jacks and pop it up to $40.  He calls.  Flop is A-10-x.  He checks, I bet $60, he calls.  Turn is a king. We both check.  River is another blank. We both check and somehow I'm good.

I ended up playing for 4 hours and losing $229.  No big deal, the grind continues.
