Guy with a lot of chips raises to $7 on the button. I 3 bet from the small blind to $21 with J8s. He folds.
Folded Ac8c to a $22 bet on a Kc5c5x board. Full pot bet. Didn't think it was a great idea to chase on that board.
Check the big blind with 7s6s. 4 way. Flop 455. I bet $6, one call, turn 7. I check, he bets $5, I call. River king. I'm thinking about what to do (thinking blocking bet), he bets $10 out of turn. I call, he had 86 for the straight. In retrospect it's some old guy, I could have just folded.
Call $10 with Ac6c. Flop K53 2 clubs. Check around. Turn blank. Guy (not preflop raiser) bets $22. I call, guy behind calls. River queen. Checks around, other guys have 97 and pocket tens. Probably not the best call on the turn but not terrible either.
Buy another $100. Have $317 in front of me now. Two really big stacks at the table, 3 short stacks (around $100 each).
Raise A8o to 7 on the button. Bb calls. Flop 955 rainbow. He checks, I bet $10, he raises to $20, I fold.
Raise 98o to $7. Bb calls. Flop K67 2 diamonds. Check, I bet $12, he calls. Turn 4d. I have no diamonds. We both check. River Qd. He checks, I bet $15, he folds.
Raise to 6 with JTo. Guy calls in position. Flop A97 2 clubs. I bet $10 he calls. Turn 6. I check, he bets $13. Seems kinda weak. I check raise to $45. It wasn't weak, he goes all in for a little over $100. Lol. I fold.
Buy another $100. In for $500, have about $350.
I've been playing too loose, too many hands. Not getting lucky either but I could dial it back a bit.
Pocket tens, couple limp, I raise to $12. Bb calls and fold to $16 on the 995 flop.
In retrospect I probably would be better off doing that check raise against someone with a lot more money. That way I can get paid when I hit the 8.
Sick... Guy raises to $10. Guy with a lot of money makes it $26. In the small blind I look down at QQ. I just fold. Figured, I'm out of position, this guy isn't 3 betting light. Just is a tough spot. Flop was K high, they got all in, KK vs AK. :) Lucky, almost lost $75 or so.
63 call 5 on the button. Checks to the river. Bluff 7 on the river when an ace hits and it checks to me, the 3 others fold.
12:50 PM, down to $343.
Limp QT in small blind at new table (got moved from must move). 6 or so people in. Flop KJ9. Booyaaa. Bet $10, get called. Turn 9. Bet $30, call. River blank. Bet $75 he folds.
Guy with a ton of chips who looks to be a good player raises to $8. I call to his immediate left with QcJc. 3 way. Flop is J96 rainbow. Raiser bets $20. I raise to $55. He calls. Turn ace. We both check. River 7. He bets $85.
I thought about it for a while. I didn't think he would call my flop raise with AK/AQ. I didn't think he would bet a jack like KJ. I thought he could have the straight, but he also could have a missed draw. QT, 78. Or AJ, or a set of aces. I looked at him and he didn't look worried, but I didn't really know what to look for either. I decided to call.
Ace jack. Top two. Drawing dead on the turn. Buy another $100, in for $600 now with a little over $300 in front of me.
Not sweating the call that much. Actually feel ok. Kept it going and played super aggressive the next round, won like 3 small pots in a row. Keeping at it. $352 in front of me as of 1:30 PM.
Q72 board, Q8 in the blind, 4 way, win it on the flop with a $7 bet. Chipping up...
KK on the button and it folds to me. Perfect situation. Raise to 7, small calls. Flop ace high all clubs, I have a club. Guy leads for $10. I just call, don't want to get blown off my draw. Then again it's not great because I'll have a hard time getting action. Turn blank, he bets 25, I fold. Little frustrating but I didn't lose much.
Try to steal in cutoff with T6s ($7), missed that there was a early position limper. 3 way, KQx, I fold to $16.
4 limpers. I'm in the big blind with 99. Make it $22, everyone folds.
Call 7 with 97s, 7 way, miss and fold.
Straddle button, J9, check. Flop KT7, double gutter. Two checks, bet 10, both call. Turn is the flush card, everyone checks. River I miss, both of these guys made flushes. Glad I missed the river.
Have $316 at 1:55 PM. Down $284.
KTo raise to $7 win.
Limp 87o. Flop K87 rainbow. Checks to me, $7, 1 call. Turn jack. Check, $16, win.
Q9 check in big blind. Flop all rags 2 hearts check. Turn jack, I bet $5 into 2 people, both call. Turn is a queen but it's a heart. Bet $10 planning to fold to any raise. AJ calls.
Straddle button. It comes around to me, I have J9o and raise 14 more. Idiot dealer says I checked so my raise doesn't work. :P Kinda fine because the hand is garbage. Flop 874 2 clubs check to me, $10, 2 calls. Turn 9, check to me, $27, call. River ace, old Asian guy fires out $59 immediately, fold.
Taking a break for a few. Getting a little frustrated. It's 2:17 PM and I'm down $300. Not a huge deal, but frustrating. You always want to win. :) haven't had a ton of great cards, that's for sure. Definitely playing way too many hands, but that's how I want to play right now. I know it's going be hard to win that way anyway. Need to hit some big hands to capitalize on that style. And learn how to play more later streets with bigger bets. It's all good. It's education. I'm willing to have some losing nights if it's fun and I'm trying to learn how to play better and experiment with some different things.
Losing isn't even a bad thing. I need to stop worrying about it. I have a 4k bankroll. Who fucking cares. Let's just play. I'll win some and lose some. I want to get to where I can play more aggressive and break out of the 2006 mindset. If that costs me some money, no big deal. It's my poker bankroll. That's what it's there for.
Going back in. Let's focus and do this.
Straddle for 4. Guy raises to 8. I call with 94o just because I was like F folding in the button to a min raise. 4 way. Flop T93. He bets $16, I call, other guy calls.
Raise to $7 with 88. Few calls. Now this old guy with like 70 left limp reraises $22 more. I call, but I acknowledge that's pretty bad. 2 other callers though so it was a huge pot. Flop 864 all spades. Check check, raiser checks. I bet $60 everyone folds. Still a good pot.
Raise Q8s, 4 way, flop KJJ with a flush draw (not mine) and I let it check to the river. Ace high won.
Back up to $386. It's 2:49 PM. Have to leave in an hour and a half or so. Dinner with my boss from work at 6.
AK (finally), raise to 10. 4 way. Flop T8x 2 spades, I have ace of spades. Guy leads for 10, another calls, I just call. Turn blank, he fires $40, fold. Sigh.
Very next hand pocket tens. Raise to 10. 3 calls. Now this limper goes all in for 50 more. I think about it, raise to 100. Don't want to play this out if position. Everyone folds. Flop 10 high 2 spades, turn ace of spades, river blank, I win. Comeback!
AK, raise to 17 from the blind. 3 calls. Flop T8x 2 hearts. Bet $50, one guy calls. Turn ten. Check, check. River, queen. Check, he goes all in for $92. I think forever. He could have a ten, but he could also have a flush draw. Old guy with a suit on. He IMMEDIATELY went all in on the river. He just kept moving his cards around. Don't know, but I folded.
Straddle button. Q7s, check. 4 way. Flop 654 1 spade. Guy bets $15, I call. Turn ten. He checks. I think about it but take the free one. River 8. He bets $15. I put him all in for $60 or so. He had a set of sixes and I win another big pot! $487 in front of me!!!! Almost there baby!
AJ in small blind. Raise to $17, Asian guy calls. This guy calls a lot. Flop KT8 with a flush draw. I bet $25, he calls. Turn 7, giving me the double gutter. I think for a bit and bet $70. He calls. River blank, fuck. Check, he goes all in for a little over $100, I have to fold.
Back down to $340. 3:27 PM.
Raise to $7 with QT. One call, guy reraises to $16. I call, 4 way. Flop KJ4 2 diamonds (I have no diamonds) now he leads for $5. One call, I make it $30, 2 calls. Turn diamond, check around. River jack of diamonds. Check around. Lose of course. Preflop reraiser had AJ, othe guy had KQ with the Q of diamonds.
Down to $300 again.
Pocket aces in early position. Raise to $10, 4 calls. Was hoping for the reraise but no good this time. Flop 853 2 hearts. Bet $30, Asian guy calls. Turn 5. Bet $60 he calls. River 3, I go all in for $192. He folds. Probably a flush draw. I think if he had something decent he probably would have called.
Straddle button. Guy goes all in for $35. Look down at JJ, call. Asian guy calls. Flop T76. He checks, I bet 50, he calls. Turn 6 of diamonds putting 2 diamonds out. He checks. I go all in, he has about 100 left. He folds. Other fucking guy says "I think I got you" and flips up 66. Sigh. Still won a few bucks on the hand but frustrating. At $434 now.
Asian guy was down to $100, put $200 on the table.
Pocket aces. Raise to $10. 4 way. Flop AJx with 2 hearts. I bet $25 everyone folds. Couldn't really check with the flush out there. $460.
JT in small blind, call. 6 way. Flop T63 2 diamonds. Bet $10, guy calls. Turn queen, bet $20, he folds.
Up to $470. Moved seats to the immediate left of the Asian guy that is playing loose.
Raise Q6o in the cutoff to $7. I think I'm playing too loose.
Cash out $418. Lost $182. Could be worse. Until next time!
