So another good day of poker for me. Went back to the California grand. Which turns out to be a good thing. I walked in and as soon as I get to the board to sign up, the security guy has pulled me aside and asks me if I cashed out tuesday morning at 4 am. I told him yes, turns out the casier shorted me $100. I was so tired after driving 8 hrs, then playing for 5 hrs that I missed it. So I am up $100 before I sit down.
I sit down and it is a really good juicy table. First hand I get trapped into a pot with a flush draw. I call a $10 bet with a 7 high flush draw. Then all in for $32 more, and all in for $44 more. I call both bets and both have TP with weak kickers. I lost but that was a pretty good indication is was a pretty weak table. I bleed off chips for an hour have to reload once, then the fun begins. The rock of the table raises to $23, Mp calls I look down at QQ, ummmm. I just call. Flop is Q72, cha ching. Rock leads out $75, yup he has a big pair. I smooth call praying to get someone in behind. Turn is a very ugly card an A. Did I just get 2 outted?? He checks I check behind. River pairs the board. He leads $60, I', all in for another $40. He thinks which tells me he had KK. He makes a crying call. He does have KK. Next big hand I get AK, I limp, flop is KK3, BB bets out $30, I call so does a player behind. Turn is a 4d making 2 diamonds, ok slowplay time is over. He bets out $60, I raise to $160. He pushs I call he has K6, no help on the river I take a big pot. Pretty solid after that, won a decent hand with KK. Still havent see AA in 3 sessions but that can be a blessing sometimes.
On a side note I'm not happy with the way I'm playing my big pairs, I made a big overbet after raising the flop, I bet $100 into a $60 pot, and on a 943 flop another player thought for a while and folded JJ face up. I lost some equity there. I think playing my big pairs that hard the only person thats gonna call me is someone that flopped a set. Other than that I am very happy with my play the last couple days. I have been reading my opponants very well and made a couple good laydowns. Totals for today + $449 in 4.5 hrs.
