$2 No-Limit Texas Hold'em

33 in HJ. 2 limpers, I limp, co limps, blinds comp and check. Flop: 346 two spades. Checked to me, I check cause I see co sizing a bet. He bets 10, 1 caller, I raise to 25. I raised him intentionally because I check raised him twice off his handin the last 1.5 orbits, and I want him to be tired of it and re-raise me light. But co calls, and we're heads up. Turn 5o. I bet 25, co min raises to $50. I smooth call, quitely begging for the board to pair. River: Ko.  When I called turn raise I decided I'm gonna check fold any non board pairing card. But I think for a min, and decide to make a blocking bet because he doesn't have a lot of money left(about 85) and I want him to know I'm pot committed. I make it $35, and he stacks his chips up and shoves. I think for a bit, but I know he's a very tight player, and he can't think I'm folding any big hand. I eventually muck, but the dealer accidentally exposes my set. Grrr!
 
I have AJ 4 times in first 2 hours, and flop at least an ace(if not aj or trips) all 4 times. Every time, I bet it all the way, and get sucked out on the river. FML. down $400 early
 
J♥10♣ in MP, a few limpers before and after me. 8 see a flop. Flop QJ10 2 hearts. Ep bets out 12, 1 caller, I raise to 45 trying to define my hand and get any flush draws with no money in the pot to fold. Original ep pushes to 79, orig caller calls, I shove to 160ish. He calls. I'm up against KQ and QJ. It comes runner runner hearts, and I win a pot I had no business in winning.
 
QQ in BB. 6 limpers to me, and I raise to 16, get 4 callers. Flop Q109 2 diamonds. I bet out 30, get 2 callers. Turn Ao. I bet out 60, get raised all in to 120ish. I call, she shows a9 of diamonds, and doesn't improve.
 
A♣2♣ utg. I decide to mix it up and raise to 11. Get 4 callers. Flop: K22 2 diamonds. I bet out 35, get 1 caller. Turn 6o, I bet 65, utg+1 pushes for 100, and I snap call he shows k5 and doesn't improve.
 
I know all these hands I end up winning...but I don't remember the specs of the hands where I got out drawn, or when I 3 barreled into a monster. All in all my reads weren't too good on this day, and luck wasn't on my side too often. Perhaps its because I haven't played in 2 weeks.

$2 No-Limit Texas Hold'em

This was a big day for me. I stayed in the hotel over night, and when I woke up I was able to shower, get breakfast, and mosey down to the poker room. No 45 minute drive for me, and it was really relaxing. They opened a new table for me and 9 others. I started out ok, up a bit before the following hand came up.
 
910o on btn. several limpers to me, i limp, sb completes, bb checks. 7 see the flop. Flop: KQJ rainbow. the first few people check, MP bets out $15. He gets 1 caller, and I raise to $45. BB pushes for $140, MP and caller fold, I of course call. He shows QJ for top two pairs, and I'm looking very good. Turn is a blank, river is another J and I'm down to about $60. What can I do here? I flopped huge, raised it when it was bet into me, and got all my money in as a better than 4-1 favorite. Can't ask for much more than that.
 
After this hand I added on another $100, and I was never below $150 again. I was raising preflop with nothing, cbetting the flop and taking it down, or raising preflop with good cards, and getting away when my opponent out flops me, and winning pots when i connect at all.
 
Also, my no set streak got very long. It took until about 10.5 hours in to hit a set. I hit top set of kings, and took $300 off another guy who had kj, and rivered 2 pair.
 
I ended up a huge winner with $1110.

$2 No-Limit Texas Hold'em

I went up to Rama right after work, and decided to stay in the hotel for the night. So after checking in, and showering, i didn't get onto a table until 8. I played for 5 hours, and did pretty well. I made some very nicely placed bluffs, and took down a few pots I'm sure I didn't deserve to. The one thing that's starting to get to me, I haven't hit a set in what seems like forever. Last Sunday I think.

first hand I post on dead btn. JJ ep raises to 10, gets 5 callers and I already know I'm at a bad table for me. I call, 6 to the flop. Flop: aq10 rainbow. Ep bets 40, 2 callers so I fold. Turn k making 2 clubs, bet and a call, river 2. Winner had q10. This is gonna be a tough night.
 
After tonight, I'm going on a week without a set. It's getting very frustrating calling pre-flop raises, and having to ditch it on the flop when I don't connect.

I haven't really been logging my hands, as I feel it takes away from my ability to watch the rest of the action at the table. As such, I've even stopped logging hours and wins. The good news, is i've been playing very well, and have easily won over $1500 this month, and never had a losing session in July.

This was a pretty decent session for me. I sat down with $100 that I had to buy from the dealer cause the cage was closed. I was in the CO when I posted, and by the time I was the button, I was up over $300. I just kept winning pots, making nut straights and getting called by top two, or flopping a full house, and having someone else hit runner runner for the nut flush so he could dump all his chips on me.
 
The one hand that resulted in a bad result for me was when I had Queens UTG. I raised it to 12(which is my standard raise, but the table was preferring raises to 7-10), and get a couple callers including the BB. Flop is QJ4 rainbow. checked to me, and I bet out $30 and only the BB calls. The Turn is a K making 2 diamonds. BB checks, and I start measuring out a raise, and every time I grab more chips, he keeps saying I call, I call. So I started complaining that I haven't even decided how much to bet. He says he doesn't care how much I bet, he's going to call. So I say ok then, I'm all in! I have over 700 left at this point, and he has well over $300. He snap calls, and turns over 10-10! What the fuck is that shit? there are 3 cards out of 4 that are over his pair? He said he feels like gambling, and of course the river is an A giving him Broadway.
 
So that really hurt, and I was steaming a little bit. But I was smart, and I didn't let it get me down too much. I tightened way up, and I mixed it up here and there...but I built my chip stack up slowly, but surely to over $500, when I decided to leave.

$2 No-Limit Texas Hold'em

this was a brutal session. I was doing really, really well. Getting good cards, and making smart convincing bluffs when I didn't have the goods. I think I went card dead, and started making some unconvincing bluffs(or bluffing into a made hand).
 
I'm sure if I re committed myself to playing good, and didn't have to work the next day I could have stayed longer and won some money back.
 
I had aces 5 times, and won each and every time. Only once did I not get any pre-flop action.
 
I didn't log any hands. I think I'm going to stop doing that, and just do a recount of important hands. No one wants to read a list of hands, and how they went down. Plus this will give me a chance to add more commentary, and show what my thoughts were/are.  Here are a few important hands, and how they went down, to the best of my recollection.
 
J♦10♦ in HJ. its limped to me, and I feel randy, so I raise to $11. I get 4 callers including btn. Flop AK8 2 spades 1 diamond. Its checked to me, and I bet 20, btn then raises to 40(I think at the time it seems like a squeeze play), player to my right who's clearly a good player calls, and I call. Turn 4o. Checked to btn, who bets out $20. Guy on my right calls. Btn is holding his whole stack in his hand (~150) and I ask him if that's gonna be his river bet. He says maybe, depends on the river. So I decide to call. River 7♠. Player on my right checks, and I think for a bit. I decide to bet out $110, btn starts talking to himself about me making a flush, and he eventually folds. Guy on my right thinks for a little and folds too. I show my bluff, and everyone is in shock that I could do that. Btn says he had a naked ace, guy on my right says he had a K and wasn't calling any river bet.
 
My final hand: AQo in MP utg raises to 6, 2 callers. I flat call(why, I'm not sure. I don't think I even had a good reason at the time. In retrospect, I clearly should have re-raised), and 6 people see the flop. Flop: A♠9♠4o. SB bets 12, villain raises to 45 all in(as said by the dealer) I think about raising, but I'm pretty sure sb was trying to take down a pretty nice pot. So I just call. Everyone folds, including sb. Then villain asks the dealer if we're down to 2 players, which we are. The dealer puts down the turn card, and I flip my hand over. Villain then shoves his remaining stack, and I fly off the handle as to why I was told he was all in, when he wasn't. The dealer insists he didn't say he was all in, but the players on my right and left both thought he was all in too. He has about $90 left, so I really can't call. He could have me crushed, and just be trying to get my back up so I can call, or he may have nothing, trying to play meta games with me, trying to force a fold. I fold without thinking about it much. I can't play poker this way, and he shows AJ.
 
I am so steaming, that I quit after getting a few more hands that I don't feel like playing. I think I even folded A10, but I wasn't really paying attention.

All in all this was not a good session for me. I wasn't feeling it most of the night, and even though I flopped 2 sets, and had the 2nd nut flush(without a pair'd board or straight possibility).
 
I started on a brand new table.
 
22 utg. I limp, sb completes, bb checks, 6 players to the flop. Flop: 1072 rainbow. Checked to utg+1 who bets 11. Folded to bb, who raises to 31. I hesitantly call, wanting to shove but I want to make sure I don't lose anyone. utg+1 folds. Before turn, I ask bb(who's been pretty friendly towards me so far) If he wants to check it down. He flat out refuses. Turn: 4 making 2 diamonds. He shoves, I eventually call, afraid of a higher set, but the possibliity he has 2 pair is too great to lay it down. He shows top set. Sb says he folded a 2. I'm down 100.
 
A10o utg+1.  Utg limps, I limp, 4 players to the flop. Flop:AJ8 rainbow. Checked around. Turn: 5, I bet out 10, only btn calls. River; K, I value bet 20, he calls and shows A8.
 
A♠10♠ utg. I raise to 12. Get 2 callers. Flop: AK10 2 diamonds. I bet out 10, get 1 caller. Turn: 4o. I bet out 25, LP calls. River: 9o. I bet 35, he calls and doesn't show.
 
108o utg+3. Folded to me, I raise to 12, btn calls. Flop:K62 2 diamonds. I bet 10, btn calls. Turn A♦ I bet 25, btn folds.
 
J♠8♠ utg+2. I limp, 3 more limpers before btn raises to 7. sb calls, I call, all 3 limpers call. Flop A♠5♠9♦ its checked around to OR who bets 15. Me and 1 caller. Turn Q♠ checked to OR who bets 20, I raise to 80, 1 fold, OR pushes for 186. 106 more to me(would leave me with 20, and I tank. There's no way he pushing a straight draw here, and with 3 spades my raise should've told him 2 pair was no good. He must have some kind of hand to raise pf, and bet out on that board. I eventually fold the 2nd nuts, and regret it the moment I did it. He never shows, and I feel tilt starting to set in.
 
QQ UTG I limp for some weird reason, several limpers to HJ who raises to 12. I think about raising, but decide to call. Everyone else folds. Flop Q♠2♠5♣ I check, he bets out 15, I raise to 45, he pushes and I call he has aces with A♠, and although the turn was another spade, he doesn't improve and I double up and turn a big loss into a small gain.
 
I don't like how I played the J high flush, I really think I should have called. While he may have had the K, with or without another spade, there are a few other hands he could have here. He could be pushing AQ hoping to force a flush draw to fold, he could even have a set. So even though I didn't see the dude's cards, I really think I made a bad lay down. Even if I call there, and he shows the nut flush I think I'd get over it quickly, as it's the right play.
