Righting the Ship

Had another bad session yesterday. Actually I didn't play badly at all, I just took two horrible beats. I was taking a shot at NL $50 too. Lost to JJ twice. One hand I had 55 in a raised pot, I called from the BB, and flopped a set (9-6-5 flop I believe). Anyway, get it in with a half stack, he has JJ, river J. Great. Another hand I have KK and resolve to play a big pot with it. I raise to $3, SB calls. Flop comes 9 high, he checks, I bet pot, he calls. Turn is a blank, same action. River is a jack, he shoves for the remaining PSB, I call. He has JJ, sigh. Really wish I didn't keep getting two outed. So tonight I decide to take a shot at $100 NL (6-max of course) after the Red Sox beat the Rockies 2-1 due to great pitching to take a 2-0 lead in the series. I sit in with $100, leaving me a measly $5.12 if I lose it. But I resolved to try and get up $45 and then leave. If I go broke I take a break or redeposit or whatever.

Long Session

Played my first long session probably ever tonight (not counting tournaments). I'm really giving this thing a go this time, trying to move up in stakes. Sat in for 4 hours, playing 937 hands over 2 tables. I tried 3-tabling for a bit but I couldn't keep up with it, so I had to resort back to 2. Problem was when I had a key hand on one table I'd lose track of what was happening on the other tables and I'd get sat out. I can concentrate with two tables, but not 3. Anyway, had a rough go of it. Early on I get K J UTG (6-max). I bring it in for $.75. CO calls. All else fold. Villain has ~$23, I cover. Flop comes 4 6 3 . Bingo bango bongo. I lead strong, $1.60. Villain calls. Turn J . I bet $2.90, Villain shoves for $18 more, I pump fist snap call. She turns over A J . River 5 . Great start. Then on the other table I pick up K Q UTG. I raise to $.75. Villain with about $10.50 to start the hand calls. Flop Q 8 2 . I bet out $1.50 and villain moves all-in for $9.75 more. I
