$2 No-Limit Texas Hold'em

got stacked on the very first hand i was dealt when i flopped a set of 3s on a board of 37Q. george bet $100 and i checkraised allin for $270. he calls with 88, spikes his 2 outer on the river. how shitty to be in for $600 after one freakin hand. but i stayed and played my game, didnt get out of line and just waited to make some hands and get paid off on them. turned a potentially horiffic night into a solid win.

$2 No-Limit Texas Hold'em

played terribly, calling off my stack slowly over the course of the night with suited connectors and missing the flop everytime. never had a good hand to play, so i played the bad ones and lost. with my final $90, i flop 2 pair with A3h on a 36A board. pushed $88 into a $20 pot, got called by AJ. he nailed the jack right on the turn...next day, my friend tells me he folded the same hand (he led out into the pot and folded to my raise), so that makes the beat that much worse.

$2 No-Limit Texas Hold'em

played solid yet aggressive poker. won several hands with way the worst holding by betting strong. got kiric to move at me when i had aces. playing 6 handed at the end of the night, monster pot. i button straddle for $5, everyone limps, i put in a little sweetener bet of $5 more with AJo. marcus, justin and snuffy call, then paul makes it $25 more. i call, marcus moves in for $91 total. justin calls, snuffy calls, paul calls, i'd be a fool to miss this one so i call. flop is 9AA, paul puts in his last $62, i call, justin calls, snuffy folds. me and justin check it down, the river gave me quads even though i didnt need it. my AJ beat 77, 66, 85c, 97s. wow, did this really just happen? sweet pot. good win

$300 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (91st out of 1000 Players)

shoulda gone broke in the second level with JT on a flop of TT4, bb had 44. i gave him a good sized pot, but was able to get away from it. played a short stack for the entire rest of the tourney. key hands: a shorter stack moved in from late position with KQh and i called most of my stack from bb with KJ. i would normally fold, but i didnt have enough to wait anything better. i made a 4 card flush...got dealt AK, by far the best hand i had seen all day, but the dealer accidentally gave 3 cards to the sb and didnt know which crad was the 3rd, so the hand was declared a misdeal. i got mad, bu then the utg player showed aces. shoulda gone broke there too...never had enough chips to bet, allin or fold for the entire tourney. i must have moved in 20/25 times and i never got called once, so i never was able to build a stack, only survive. stole enough blinds to play for awhile. raised to 5000 with AK, bb called, a good young player. flop 66hTh, check check. turn Kh. check, i bet 8500, have 15000 left. he checkraises me allin. he has to put me on AK, so for him to make that bet, he has to have me beat, so i make a tough laydown. he shows me TT, flopped the joint. later, same kid raises to 5000 from button, i have 67h in bb and move in for 11000, knowing i'll get called, but thinking i'll be live and that hes not very strong. he has 69o. oops. but i get lucky and hit a 7...i'm allin several times and never get called, just hangin on. finally double with 44 vs AK. then i get it allin with TT vs 66 and another guy folds A6 face up.
turn is the case 6. now i'm crippled again, but i move in on 3 of the next 5 hands and never get called, so i have room to sit again. then this woman gets moved to the table with only 20000. shes moves in on the first hand with A6o, gets called by AJ and hits a 6 to double. a few hands later, facing a raise and reraise, she moves in with AT and gets called by AK, hits a T to double again. later i pick up AK, raise to 18000, she moves in from bb for 68k with 33. i brick off and am left with 9000 and blinds 2500/5k. very next hand, 2 players limp, i find KK and get it in. another player calls behind me. she moves in over the top from sb. dumb move. she has AJh.
how can i possibly win on this board? river T, i bust. what a fucking cunt.
 
and another thing. how the hell can you have 1000 people in the tourney and only pay 72 spots? that dont make one lick of sense. 7% of the field? what tournament pays 7% of the field. how about the standard 10% or even 9.5% if they fucking did it normal, i would have had a fucking cash instead of playing for 12 fucking hours with nothing to show for it. shit fuck damn cock balls.

won several pots without a showdown, but had the best hand each time. table thought i was just some agro asshole, so i didnt get any respect later. had top pair with KQ and some guy check raised me allin. he had a naked flush draw and hit. doubled him up. then raised with AA, got 2 callers. flop J88, guy leads into me, i smooth call. turn is T. he check calls my bet. river is another T. this time he checkraises allin. i know he doesnt have a ten in his hand. did he just have a big jack? no way a straight is possible. when he led out on the flop, i originally put him on an 8. but to checkraise allin that river card with bottom full house just doesnt make any sense. i couldnt put him on a hand that beat me, so i called. he has 7h8h. jeez. what i terrible play that is. sure i could have folded, but his play made not sense whatsoever. and yet hes the one with the money. shitty
