Session 21

Session 21

I had a few hours to myself after work today and headed down to play 4-8K.  I got off work around 1:30, got down there at about 2 and had to wait about an hour to get into the main game.  I left at 5:30.  I am very happy with the way I played today.  I was very patient, the last 3 sessions where wins ranging from 10 to 170, but, I was really playing a volitle game.  Part was due to playing for too long trying to get high hands, to the table make-up forcing me to take alot more chances and put alot more money into pots so that I had to try to suck out and win some big ones to be able to keep up.  But today the table for the most part was pretty solid.  Good players.  I was able to sit back and could usually tell where I was at in the hand.  I was pretty patient and was getting some good flops with good cards.  And since they where mostly good players I was able to take advantage of position on some hands and crappy flops to bet and get them to fold for several small wins.  I did get unlucky a few times, but since I started off winning I was able to build up with solid hands, then I would get unlucky and get taken back down to just over my buy in.  But I got enough solid hands that I was able to leave after 2.5 hours 125 up.  I made a $173 mistake.  I got a monte carlo hand but did not think about the size of the pot.  There was only 16 in the pot pre flop and there needs to be 20 to qualify for a Monte Carlo Board.  I forgot that part.  I had 10 10 and the flop was 10 9 9.  I checked and the other two checked.  The turn was a 10 and I did not feel that anyone would call a bet so I checked, they both checked.  Dont remember the river but same, I was sure they would both fold if I bet, so I just checked and they both checked.  i was hoping that someone would bet but they didnt.  My quads won, but since there was not 20 in the pot I did not qualify for the bonus.  Everyone told me next time that it is alrigh for table talk and just say I need a call and bet and someone would call so you can get the bonus.  Next time will make sure I remember that.  I had AA cracked for a big loss.  The flop was A K 7.  I raised pre-flop also and had a few callers, I bet the flop and had 3 callers.  The turn was a J and I bet the turn and got 2 callers.  Dont remember what the river was  but I lead out in first position and bet and got raised.  and the other player called.  I figured he had a Q 10 but throught there was a chance he could have had a smaller set and the other was 2 pair.  there was so much in the pot already that I had to call another 8 to be sure.  Sure enough one had K J the other had Q 10 for the straight.  I had a few good sneakers in the BB.  Flopped 2 small pair and led out and bet all the way and got one to 2 callers all the way for some nice pots.  Also as I was getting ready to go, I had KK in first position in a kill pot. So I raised to 16 preflop.  Had a short stack call and one other caller.  The flop was J7J, the short stack only had 3 left so I checked and he bet 3 the other player folded and I called the 3.  he had a flush draw and did not hit it.  Overall though I did fold quite a bit with junky hands that I may have been calling with more the last few days, and my good cards where hitting more than missing so it was a good session.  I am on a bit of a hot streak right now, but dont think I will be able to play again till Sat or Sun.  Hopfully wont cool off by then.
