Well that was fun. My session is over 15 minutes early. Highlights follow.

Session 1
Hands: 156
Time: 45 minutes
Winnings: -26.10



My Biggest Win

7-handed
Phish in BB with $9.65

Folds to HJ (27.10) who limps, Button (9.00) limps, SB completes and I check QTcc

Flop (0.40) [4s][Ac] checks to SB who bets 0.20. SB folds. I don't believe he has the A, so I call. HJ calls.

Turn (1.00) Check/Check/ Button bets .40. I still don't believe him. HJ folds this time.

River (1.80) Check/Check and my T kicker beats button's 3.



All other wins were < 1.00


My Biggest Losses

I (9.80) raise AKss from UTG+1 to 0.40. MP1 (17.15) calls, CO (23.10) calls, BB (10.00) raises to 1.70. I should have folded, but I didn't really calculate the raise amount and called. My plan was to stack-off if any A or K flopped and fold otherwise. MP1 folds, CO calls.

Flop (5.55) [6d][Js] and BB pushes. A king hit so I called. CO folds. He has AA and I don't improve.


Next up...

UTG (10.55) calls, UTG+1 folds, I (9.75) raise AQo to 0.50, folds bo Button (14.65) who calls, BB (4.15) calls, UTG calls.

Flop (2.05) [Kd][4d] UTG donks .20, I raise to 2.00, Button calls, SB & BB fold

Turn (6.25) I give Button's most likely holdings a draw, a weaker ace, AK, or KQ. I'm going to PokerStove that and see if I'm really ahead of that range, but I figured I was so I pushed. He thought a very long time (which relieved me because AK and KQ would have insta-called) and called.

River (20.75) and Button's 23dd sucks out.

OK, so I used PokerStove and given the ranges I thought he might hold, my equity was 70-30 on the turn. If I don't give him any unsuited Aces below AT, it drops to 68-32.


That's two stacks, so I quit for the night. More tomorrow, maybe.

Well at least I lasted the whole hour today!

Session 2
Hands: 271
Time: 61 minutes
Winnings: 11.90
Overall: -14.20

Big Hands

8 handed
Phish (10.60) in HJ w/ AQhh
UTG+1 (4.60) Call, MP1 Fold, Phish calls (I normally raise here, but this time I didn't), folds to BB (29.10) who checks

Flop (0.35) [2d][5h] BB Check, UTG+1 bets 0.50, Phish mini-raises to 1.00, UTG+1 calls. Why the mini-raise? I figured he re-raises a set or 2 pair huge (so I get out cheap-ish) and calls a draw or TP.

Turn (2.35) UTG+1 checks, Phish bets 2.00, UTG+1 mini-raises all-in. I have to call.

River (10.35) the pairs his kicker and I lose to Q9. Yay me.



8 Handed
Phish (9.85) in SB w/ JJ
UTG fold, UTG+1 (9.90) call, MP1 (29.00) call, HJ (11.50) call, CO fold, Button (1.25) call, Phish pops it to 0.60, BB fold, Calls around to Button who pushes. I'm not folding but maybe I should have pushed myself. Anyway, I call and so does everyone else. 5 people put in 1.35 on a 10 cent table.

Flop (6.85) [3d][Kc] King on the board, I check. Checks around to HJ who puts 4.00 in. I'm done with the hand and so is everyone who's not all-in already. HJ has 33 to beat short stack buttons 98o.


6 Handed
Phish (9.80) in SB w/ JTo
CO (11.20, same douche who sucked out on me w/ Q9 earlier) limps, button folds, I complete, BB checks.

Flop (0.30) [9c][Ts] I check, BB bets 0.10, HJ raises to 0.30. I have a pair and a straight draw, I'm not folding here. I call and so does BB.

Turn (1.20) I check, only because I know someone's betting. BB bets 0.10. I now have him squarely on the club flush draw. HJ raises to 0.60. We might split this but he's a moron who'll stack off with TPWK, so we might not. I pop it to 3.00. BB folds, HJ calls.

River goes check/check and my straight beats Q9. I really didn't figure him for a flush draw, but I didn't bet because the flush card hit. Only KJ beats me. Pretend you don't know the results... should I have bet that river? How much?


8 Handed
Phish (10.00) in SB w/ JJ
UTG fold, UTG+1 (9.00) calls, folds to CO (13.10) who calls, Button folds, I raise to 0.60, only CO calls.

Flop (1.40) [4h][9d] I bet 1.15, CO mini-raises to 2.30. I don't want to call and believe I'm drawing to 2 outs and I'm not folding. I mini-raise him back. I figure if he has a set, he's going to raise again. I also want the pot to be big enough that a push is a PSB if he just calls, because if he calls I'm pushing most turns. He calls.

Turn (8.30) I push 5.95. He thinks a while and finally folds.



9 Handed, Finally a "Gimme"
Phish (10.6) in HJ w/ 33
Folds to MP1 (4.40) who posted and checks, MP2 folds, I call, Folds to SB (13,15) who completes, BB (1.80) checks.

Flop (0.40) [3h][Qs] SB bets 0.50, folds to me, I raise to 1.50, SB calls.

Turn (3.40) SB bets 1.00, I raise to 4.00, SB calls.

River (11.40) SB bets 5.00, which is exactly what I have left. You know the rest. He had AQo.
