Double up: With about $190 behind, I had

![[6h]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/6h.gif "The Six of Hearts")
in CO, three limpers to me, five of us see the flop, UTG, MP, button and BB. Flop is ![[Qc]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Qc.gif "The Queen of Clubs")
![[9s]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/9s.gif "The Nine of Spades")
![[7h]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/7h.gif "The Seven of Hearts")
. Checks to me, and I bet $12 into the $20 pot. BB(a Calling station who bets his hands) calls. He covers. Turn is ![[Jh]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Jh.gif "The Jack of Hearts")
, and he leads $40 into me. I think about for 15 seconds, deciding he has a very big hand he made on the turn, and if I hit my flush, I will get paid. I call. Wasn't sure if trips would win. River is ![[Ah]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Ah.gif "The Ace of Hearts")
. He bets $60, I push after about five seconds and he calls immediately, and flips up KT for the straight. The price I was getting for my hand on the turn was pretty close, but I don't mind getting money in on a barely EV hand like that if it means I can accumulate some chips to play with. I was extremely confident that he would pay me off though, from seeing his play a few times before as well as today.The rest of the night was me winning a pot with AK after I runner runner the nuts on a 8T3JQ board and my opponent checks the whole way and called my river raise with 99. He though it was a bad play on his part...I decided it was a cooler hand, although I did play tight enough he might have gotten away from a bigger river raise. Also, had an Ace high flush beat a lower flush, and won a couple other smaller pots. Didn't play many hands at all, and didn't have a big PP except for KK OTB which I won with a CB on the flop. No tough decisions all night long...I wish all my sessions were like this.

I played pretty tight for the first couple of hours, but since I was on a table that had no action at all, I got up and left for a little while and joined in at another table at 11pm. AT this table, there was a older Asian man in Seat 1 who was a huge calling station. This is one of those types who will call down with anything and sometimes nothing, as witnessed by me with his win of a $350 pot with 82 sooted on a board of J65 4 3. He called $45 on the flop by the preflop raiser with no flush draw, nothing, after two other people called that bet. The turn got checked, and on the river, he called another bet from a younger player who decided betting TT out of the SB on the river for $47 into a pot of $237 in three opponents was a really good idea. WHY THE HELL CAN'T I CATCH A HAND WHEN THESE IDIOTS HAVE SOMETHING?????
Anyway, I lost a very large pot to one guy who called my push on the flop with a draw that had my draw completely dominated and so I bought in again and just started playing hands for cheap and trying to outplay people postflop. I won a couple of small pots and then completed in the SB with
![[Qh]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Qh.gif "The Queen of Hearts")
...only because I've noticed that everyone pays you off at this table if you have the goods. Flop came ![[Kh]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Kh.gif "The King of Hearts")
![[Th]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Th.gif "The Ten of Hearts")
. I checked and the BB(a pretty bad player who can easily bet bottom pair on scary boards) bet out $20 into a $16 pot. Everyone folded around to me, and I decided to make a call where I think I probably should have made a big raise, but there is a $500 jackpot I win if I hit a Royal flush, so that did persuade me to make a call. Turn was ![[Jc]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Jc.gif "The Jack of Clubs")
. I checked, and he checked behind. And the river was the oh so beautiful . I decided to check here as well, because this guy could have been on a straight draw or heart draw too because he checked the turn. He bet $20 again, and I only minraised him, although I doubt I could have gotten much more on that board. I showed my hand and then the floor got me my $500 which I had to sign something for which means the government probably knows about it...I have to go find out the details obviously. That's how I became a winner in my first live game in a month...which really depressed me...I'm planning on going back Monday and playing again, so I can actually catch a set or a pair bigger than the QQ I got when the calling station had KK. I did have a pretty good time though, so there was that...the people around me actually talked a little.Statistics: Posted by Danhdan — Sun Jul 29, 2007 10:47 pm

. BB who has a big stack and covers me(I'm at $200) bets $15. I waited for about ten seconds and called. I had him on TP, so I wasn't really worried about him. Everyone folds behind me except the button, a woman who plays in the bigger game usually and is decently reckless, she has about $73 left going to the turn. Turn is ![[Qs]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Qs.gif "The Queen of Spades")
, BB checks, I bet $35 and button pushes for the rest. BB folds, and I call and button missed her straight draw, so gutshot w/ and 8. I win a couple more pots and play pretty tight for a while when this hand hits:forum/viewtopic.php?p=233558#233558
After that, I won a tiny bit back, but ended up down for the night $206. Even with the tight method I play, I still have two stack swings pretty much every session which is quite different than the people around me who have 5-10 stack swings regularly it seems. I'm also noticing that there are certain people you just want to get involved with and some that you don't...hopefully I can do that more often and play as tight as I want, but it's difficult.
