October 24, 2009

So finally finished the fifth game....3 players fought forever, so we settled on a deal. Having a slight lead netted me $33.00, so final tally is $55 for buy ins, $60 won back. not great, but still positive...
will start the next 5 soon.

Game 3

Game was going quite well, until I dropped a 1700 pot to a chaser hitting a river heart to take out my 2 pair. With a stack at 850, I called a raiser with Q 10, hit 2 pair, and called his all in raise post flop. He was holding AK, and guess what...the turn was the J. Brutal luck, and I was gone.

Game 4

Lasted 2 hands. Raised with 1010, was reraised, and then pushed. Ran into AA, and ballgame.
So now I am out $44, and have won $27, so -$17 overall. Have one more game to try to break even.

Game 2

This one was a very long game. 3 times I ran into a smaller pocket pair, only to watch them get trips on the flop, including the last hand, where my queens lost to his 33, placing me in second. Still, I won $27, so for the 2 games so far, I spent $22 and won back $27. First place was $45, but I'll take what I can get for now. Im finally getting in a habit of folding A-trash no matter the position, its very difficult to play post flop unless you hit at least 2 pair.

After a brutal day on the cash tables, where donks went out of their way to find me, I decide to try something new. I will play 5 $10 sit n' go's consecutively and see where that takes me.

Game 1

Early on I am dealt AK off, and raise. I am called by a small suited pair, 33, and the flop is 3 9 10 rainbow. for some reason, he decides to slow play, simply calling my continuation bet. The turn is a J, and he bets small. Thinking the worst case is that I have 2 over cards, I call, and catch my Q on the river. after a value bet, I take down a nice pot, leaving me as the chip leader with about 2600.

I get nothing the rest of the way. some suited connectors, but nothing hits, and with high boards, no chance to bluff. Down to about 900 in chips, I reraise an early raiser with A 10 off, he pushes, I call his KQ. Not terrible, but sure enough, a K hits the turn, and I am out.
