Session 20

Taking advantage of working from home a bit more and headed out and played 4-8K for a few hours last night.  Took home another small win, considering how the game was playing, it was pretty wild I am happy to do as well as I did.  There where a few really aggressive players at the table, raising every hand and betting every street.  So had to just pick some hands and hold on tight.  Started out on the second table and we got down to four handed for a little while, was not the ideal situation, only one big blind, but it comes around so quick you pretty much have to play alot more hands than you normally would and raise alot more than you normally would.  When I got moved to the main table I was a little down.  The did not take long before the three remaining on the second table got moved to the main game.  My big hands where not holding up too well and when I was trying to draw out did not hit any good hands, lost the first buy in and decided to give it another try.  Not long after that I had a AJ and I raised pre-flop, it was then re-raised and I called there where four in the pot.  The flop was 77J, it was checked to me and I bet, 2 callers and then the initial raiser, raised.  So much in there I called as well as the other 2.  Normally I would have folded there, but people where betting everything and I had seen so many people betting with nothing and then beating players calling them down with second or third pair, only to have the better catch top pair on the river to win a big pot.  Any pair was worth going all the way with these players.  Dont remember what the turn was, but the inital raiser bet, I called as well as the other two.  The river was another J!!  Gave me the full house.  The initial raiser smartly checked, I bet, the other two folded and he called.  He actually had a hand this time QQ, but I drew out on him.  A few hands later I limped in with A-9 and the flop was 99A, I basically called all the way down, on the river it was just me and another and he bet his last 8 so I could not raise him, he did not show what he had.  These games can be fun, but not the best practice for playing smart, when everyone is trying to draw out and raise and bet all the way down with nothing, you just have to hold on and hope you git a few big hands and get away when you are ahead.
