December 5, 2007, 10AM: Played 3 hours, Lost $179.00 at Limelight
$3 No-Limit Texas Hold'em

Made three big mistakes costing me around $400.  First, flop comes AJ8, I hold J8 in unraised pot.  He bets $12, I raise to $30, he calls.  Turn is blank, he checks, I bet $50 and he calls.  I put him on AQ or A10.  River comes Q, and he bets $80, which pretty much puts me all in.  I figure Q hit him for two pair and lay down.  He shows A3.  Tough call, but still think that was the right laydown.  Any two pairs, I lose.  There are no draws, so I layed down correctly even though I had a winner.
 
Now, the next two were just terrible plays.  99, raise to $15, I raise to $30, two callers, then inital raiser goes all in for $29 more.  I call, and two others call as well.  Flop comes KQ10.  Checks around the three remaining in pot.  Turn comes up 9, bet goes $100, I call thinking he had a made straght.  River doesn't pair board and he bets another $100.  At this point, I'm beat since J is good, but I think there's too much in the pot (>500), so I call.  It's a bad call, but my rationale was that I thought there was a better than 20% chance my set of 9s were good.  $100 mistake.
