Session 23

Session 23

This was a great session.  exceeded my last record of consecutive cashes.  From May 30th to June 5th I had 5 consecutive cashes.  I hit 6 consecutive cashes from July 30th to today.  Also was my third highest cash out, second highest in a 4-8 game.  My highest was in vegas in a NL game.  Session 2 I cashed out 290 in 4-8K, today I cashed out 255.  Not bad for 5 hours in a 4-8 game.  I believe this also takes me to the highest my bankroll ahead has been if I subtract the starting bankroll before I took it away and was just using winnings.  Started off frustrating, I had lost 200 in the first 30-40 minutes.  Good thing I decided to try one more buy in and see if my bad luck would change.  In that first 30 minutes or so I flopped 2 sets, one on a kill pot and lost the hands to a straight and a four card flush!  Was a little on tilt and had to fold on some flops after calling pre-flop raised etc...Making alot of bad calls.  I refocused myself with the third buy in.
There were a few aggressive players, a few tight players, and the rest of the table was old guys 75+ years old.  One was playing every hand to the river and catching some winners at the end.  The first turning point was I had called an inital raise from an agressor with A5 Suited, but then it got 3 bet and then capped by the initial raiser by the time it came back to me.  I was losing anyway so decided that I was too far in not to call the other two bets.  The flop came 3 diamonds.  I hit the nut flush.  It was bet I called and then it was raised.  The better and I both called the raise.  I did not want to re-raise with both in, since there was not really much chance I would be beat.  The turn brought another diamond.  that kind of killed my action the first position checked.  I checked also and the last guy who raised the street before bet.  The other called, and I thought about raising but did not just called.  The river brought nothing and I decided to bet, and got one caller.  Not long after that I had AA that held up, I even hit an A on the river but did not need it to win the hand.  The only other real big hand I hit before the 4 hand streak I hit right before I left was with A2.  I flopped bottom pair but there where alot of players in the hand.  I was suited and there was one of my suites on the flop.  First position was the old guy playing every draw and he lead out and bet.  I decided to call becuase I was getting the right price, only 4 dollars into almost a 40 dollar pot at the time.  The turn brought another spade.  Well now I can't go anywhere because I also now have the nut flush draw.  The same player bet 8 and there was one caller and I called.  The river brought another 2, there may have been a wierd straight on possible on the board, but I felt my three 2's was good, so I raised the initial better, and then he re-raised me!  Now I had to think.  There was no flush possible, he could have been playing mediocre cards and hit a straight he had been doing it all day, so I just called becuase I had to see instead of re-raising him.  He had 2 pair.  I had a few other ok pots that I dont really remember to much but as I was getting ready to go I hit 4 or 5 hands in a row, had JJ on my own kill pot and flopped a set with 2 players calling me all the way down.  So with that little rush I ended up cashing out 255 ahead.
