A couple session in the last couple days

Hey, i played a couple sessions in the last few days. I'm going to post a couple hands. My sessions went like this, 7 hours 5-5 NL(-200$), 6 hours 5-5 NL (+400$), and 2.5 hours 1-3 NL (+250$).

The first session was absolutely horrible, i even found myself raising to 30$ preflop with 3 2 offsuit because the game was so slow and i was just getting bored and wanted to play a hand(it cost me 100$) lol. In that 7 hour session, i played maybe 10 hands, and didn't have one go all the way to the river. No hands that can really be talked about there.

My second session was 5-5 NL again, and i have a couple hands that are interesting there. I won a nice little hand with a weird bluff that worked. I Limp in middle position with 5d 3d. The button raises to 20$ and theres a couple callers ahead of me so i decide to call 15$ more. Flop comes out Ks 7h 4c. I now have a gut shot it is checked around.(This is why this is weird, if i had a K i would bet probably 90% of the time) Theres 120$, turn is 2d, Fish in SB bet out 75$, right away i know he had 2 pairs on the flop and if i hit my straight, i'm getting paid off. Only getting a little over 2-1 but if a 6 comes, he is most likely betting more then 100$. An Ace might scare him abit but i can still put a 150$ bet on the river and he will call with 2 pairs.(i think) So the River comes 2c. He now checks, and right away, i'm pretty sure he flopped bottom 2 pairs. If he bets out i will give him the K7 or K 4 and fold. So now the pot is 270$. After he checks, i put out a bet of 125$ and he immidiatly starts showing frustration and shows his 7 4 saying he got counterfitted again. After he mucks, i Gladdly show him my 5 high. LOL

Maybe 5 hands later, i pick up 10's in the BB. Same guy was an early limper. I raise to 30$. both blinds folds, and Fish calls again. Pot is 70$. Flop comes out Kd Jh 10d, He checks to me, i bet 50$. (i think i'm getting called by pretty much anything after that bluff) he calls. Turn comes a J. He checks, i bet 100$, he calls. (If he has a boat there, i think he raises, not 100%, but i think) .... River come 4c. He checks again, and i bet 200$ into 370$ pot. Fish calls and he shows a J only.

I pick up 4 6 of clubs on the button. It was raise to 15$ pre, i called on the button. We were 7 handed ... making the pot about 110$. Flop is 8c 7s 3c. Its checked all around and the Cut off bets 45$. I make it 145$. Its folded around to better and he calls. Turn comes Qh. He now checks to me and i decided to put him all in. Pot is 400$ and he has 300$ left. He calls with 8 7. River is a 4, I lose. I still think i played the hand pretty good, to be honnest, i gave him Top pair. I think he would play top pair like that, but would fold the turn bet with that, and would fold flush draw or straight draw.(I think he would call the 100$ raise on flop with those hands)


Now to my third session, this is a 1-3 NL game. I buy in for 200$, chips go down to 120$. I pick up A 3 Spades in middle position, and its raised to 20$ just behind me. Everyone calls, making the pot about 125$, so i call 17$ more. Flop comes 6s 4s 3c. The SB bets 100$, BB calls, folds to me, i have 100$ left, i obviously can't fold. Fold all the way to Button, Button pushes in 300$ total. SB folds, and BB calls 80$ more. Cards are shown, BB has 8h 5h, and Button has 4's, so a Set. Turn is 6. It's all over. My pot ended up being 540$ and i had 120$ at the start of the hand. Needless to say, the action was pretty good.

I rebuy for 200$ more and pick up a couple small pots and get up to 230$. I pick up 10's in middle position and i make it 25$ after a couple limpers. (game is basically playing like a small 5-5 game). I get 2 calls, the the limper UTG goes all in for 75$, 2nd UTG insta calls, next limper says ... i'm bored, he goes all in for 115$. I'm pretty sure i have him beat and 2nd UTG beat too, i think i need to get all the chips in now so i can have a good chance at Sidepot because if the guy that still has chips missed the flop, i'm pushing to a dry sidepot because it hink the UTG guy has me beat with K's or A's .... So i push in 230$ and the guy calls 155$ more saying, "I have my favorite hand, i call". The cards are shown, lol. I was in better shape then i thought, UTG has K 9 off, 2nd UTG has 4h 5h(about 245$ side pot with him) and the other player has J 4 off. Where is this hand going ... i know your wondering ... just read on ... Flop comes out 2 3 6. The guy jumps up and yells, "straight", i stay and don't say a word but i'm thinking, "pair up", turn comes 6, and thats when i scream, "give me 6 or 10" River 10!!!!!!!! ... SHIP IT !!!! 700$ pot, dealer gets a well deserved 25$ tip.

Couple rotations later, i pick up As Qh on the button with 1 limper(Fish again), i raise to 20$, SB calls, BB calls and Fish calls. Flop comes Kh Jh 6h. SB comes out betting 25$. BB calls, Fish folds. At the point the pot is 130$. I've played quite abit with both players and SB wouldn't bet flush draw, and BB could have a 6 with 9h and would call. I'm pretty sure i'm good if a 10 or Heart comes. Giving me 12 outs, and 11 outs if the other guy has a Heart too. I'm getting 5 to 1, so i call. Turn comes 3c(if you hadn't notice, i use 3c alot when i don't remember the blank that came out) SB bets 50$, BB folds. Now i'm almost 100% he has 2 pairs. The pot is now 205$. He has 150$ behind. I know that if an offsuit 10 comes, i get all the chips, he's going to push them in on the river if theres no heart. Heart comes, he probalby shuts down and maybe i can get called a 50$ bet. But i'm still getting 4 to 1 with 12 outs.(worst case 11 outs) Worst case, i need just a little more then 3 to 1 to call. So i call. River is a blank. He goes all in. I fold and i say, you have 2 pairs. He proudly showes his K J. I made a good read and i played the hand good.

I think the blog thing is making me play my hands better and it seems to be working out for me.

Enjoy the post, and until next time ...
