Played in the 5/10 cash game last night with a $1k buyin. The game was pretty soft and I ended up making a hair under a grand.
Anyway I get to the table and mistakenly think that I'm the BB but in reality I'm UTG so I post $10 without even looking at my cards and then I guess I checked because action started going around the table - There was a raise to $45 in LP and a caller in between and I make it $150 when I look down and see I have AK. The original raiser (later to be known as the biggest fish at the table - but I didn't know this at the time) thinks for ages then mucks QJo face up and the other guy folds.
I make similar 3bets/squeezes with 88, JJ, 56s and AK again and didn't get called once.
It's folded to me in the CO and I raise to $45 with J6o. The BTN and SB both call. The flop is
and it gets checked around. The turn is the
and it gets checked around. The river is the
and the SB checks, I bet $120 and the SB calls with
.
Later on I get
and the guy to my right raises to $40 in the CO, I call on the BTN and both blinds call. The flop comes
and they check to me, I bet $125 and the SB calls. The turn is the
and he checks, I check. The river is the
and he fires out $200. I raised to $400 (too thin?) and as soon as I made it the table just laughed and looked at the BTN (nexeternity on stars) and he was sitting there shaking his head and said "I dunno if he's a retard or not" but mucked pretty soon after. He later told me he had JT.
The last real hand I played, the BTN raises and I call out of the SB with
. The flop is
and I check-call his $60 bet. The turn is some brick and and it checks through. The river is another 6 and I put out $100 and he laughs kinda miserably then folds. I guess he had JJ-KK?!
That's pretty much it. I had KingofCards come down and sit to my left near the end of my session which was stupid since he's a good player and made my life bad in a couple of pots but whatever, he lost a couple of stacks to bad beats and left after a while, then I left shortly after. All up +$965.
Online yesterday was a nightmare and I was stuck about $4k at one point, back to even, then stuck about $3k, then I crawled back to being stuck $1k. Not including donkaments where I threw away $750 or something. Anyway.
Golf day today. TRs to follow.
Poker is silly.
It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.
Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.
