On a break until TS next monday

Hey guys, I haven't posted in a while and the main reason is that i was getting tired of posting losing hands and how i got sucked out or set up. So yeah, i'm on a little break. I'll be in Turning Stone next monday, so i guess i will be posting from there. Maybe i will be home a little early. But i wanna play and get some confidence going. For some reason, i feel on top of my game everytime i go to a casino. I feel like a pro.(maybe because the read i get on people and people say, ''i didn't know there was a pro at the table'' ... i don't know what that means, but maybe its good)I played 2 sessions in the last few weeks, both big losses that combine to 1600. So now i'm put 200$ on Stars and i'm playing some MTT's and some 180 man SNGS. So far, been ok. I was doing ok in a couple tournys but lost a couple races. I managed to win a double Shootout for Sunday millions but i think i'm going to use the T$ to play some more tournys.

I guess here are a couple hands from my most recent sessions:

Early position raised to 25$ , every1 folds to SB that calls and then i call with AK in BB ... flop is Kh 6s 2c. I thought i would see what the preflop raiser did, maybe he had like J's or something. Trying to find out if i was ahead. Turn came a 2s. So now theres 75$ in the pot and the SB checks, i come out betting 45$, fold and the SB makes it 110$ total. I got a pretty good read on him, for tells .. and i could tell he wasn't too confident about his hand. I could see him doing a play like that with K Q and he would think he is good. He could also make that move with a flush draw. And from my read, i knew almost for sure he didn't have a 2. So the river came 7c. I think thats a pretty good card. He now bets 200$. I think about it, and he still looks weak, at this point i really think i have the best hand, but i still just call. He shows AA.

Um ... another hand solide player raised to 30 in middle position. I got AK in SB. I Call, 2 more call. Flop comes K 10 4. I bet 90$ into 130$ pot and its folded to preflop raiser to raises to 240$. So i folded and he showed me AA.

This is a weird one. So theres like 3 limpers and it gets to me in the BB, i have AA. I make it 35$ total. Everyone folds and the player on the button says he puts me all in. I had about 240$ at the start of the hand. So i call and we both flip over our cards, he has AsKs. So i pull back the chips and start to get a count. The dealer picks up the cards and then pulls out a flop and mucks the rest of the deck. I was just in shock. Everyone at the table was telling me to just take the blinds, but i thought it was kinda weird. So i accepted the option of the guy giving 100$ to fix everything. It wasn't so bad, no risk. At the other end of the table, they say the flop and said it was a like 3 8 10 red flop. So i was a little pist. Made a little bit of a difference.

I don't really remember alot of hands during that night, i busted out when i limped UTG with JJ and pot was raised to 30 by loose player, called by tight player. I moved in for 120$ total. When they both called i knew the tight player had me beat. He had QQ.

I made a couple good reads last time i played, but for some reason, i couldn'T go through with it. I guess thats what happens when you have no more confidence. I put a guy on J's or Q's with a A K flop. I knew he wasn't happy with it. I had 7's. He had raised it to 20$ pre flop and 1 more caller. He checked that flop, i made it 50$ with about 65 - 70$ in the pot. He called the 50. I knew he had JJ or QQ, but i couldn't fire again. I just started to think he would call me no matter what. He told me that if i bet another 50$ on the river he would fold, but i think i needed to fire atleast 100$ - 150$ to get him out. Was just frustrated.

All night i would get back to even and couldn't win another pot.

This is pot where i got kinda lucky. I had Ac 4c in late position and theres 2 limpers ahead of me, the BB makes it 40$ total. I got 2 calling stations behind me so i think they are both calling, but i still say donation when i call. Only 1 other guy calls. Flop is 5c 2h 7c. This is almost a perfect flop. The pre flop raiser comes out betting 70$, I go all in right away. When i initially went all in, only if the guy has AA am i behind to him. If he has any other over pair, i'm slightly ahead. And he could always fold. Then my friend that i have a read on starts telling me(with his tell) that he's huge. So now i'm thinking i'm down to my clubs, and if he has a set, i have 8 outs, and then i still have to dodge another 7 cards. Turns out he calls my all in and the guy with AA calls and has exactly 130$ more, same as i do. So the pot ends up being 730$. Hands are AA, 77 and A4 of clubs ... turn 6 of clubs ... HUGE.

I pick up Jc 10c on the button in a straddle to 10$ pot with every1 calling. I call. Flop comes out Ac 8c 7h. It's checked around to me, pot is like 80$. For some reason i didn't bet this flop. Turn came 7c. Now i make my flush. Its checked around to the cut off, and he bets 100$. I need to find out where i am, so i make it 200$ total, i want to find out if someone has a full house, of if this guy has a full house. I get re raised to 475$ total. The guy in the cut off calls with 7 10. And i was folding my flush even if that guy didn't call. Sure enough, River is A. The guy shows AA for quads, and the other guy has the small full house. LOL so i guess i finish last there no matter what happen. Looking back, i might have saved some money folding that hand. But i would probably have bet the flop hard and got raised hard by the AA.

All night, all i could flop is a flush draw or straight draw. And we all know that we can't win alot of money with those when the pots are heads up. I would have needed to get involved in some pots with alot of players but it never happen. I would always get crippled when i would call a flush draw when i had the pot odds because the bets were so small, or i would make a move with my flush draw. The night ended with a flop 8 7 6 and i had 99 and the guy had QQ. Got over commited with my over pair, and called the guys 300$ raise when the pot was like 150$. Was not happy. I also got over commited with AA on a flop 7h 3c 2c. Ultra loose player comes out betting 150$ and the pot was 240$(raised to 40$ pre flop and 5 callers). I was thinking that he flopped a set, but i hopped that he had 2 pairs. LOL He had about 250$ more behind and for some reason, i didn't want a flush draw to call, so i went all in(what an idiot). He had 22 just as expected and i lost the pot. But i did have a straight draw and flush draw on teh turn that missed ... 4c on the turn.

So those are a couple hands. BTW, i wanted to mention that fishbones11 stinks !!! lol
JK, i wanna give a shout out to fishbones11 thats teaching me how to play MTT's.
