Fairly standard here I think. Make a 2.5BB stab at the blinds with QJo, then bet 2nd pair on the flop. Check it back on the turn not really knowing if we are ahead, but then K hits on the river making top pair less likely for him. We're being offered 3/1 on the river so we take it and we're showed a bluff.

Hand #2:

UTG: 4,506  (30 bb)
MP: 5,215  (35 bb)
CO: 4,955  (33 bb)
BU: 5,297  (35 bb)

Turn: (1,380) A♦ (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets 690, BB (Hero) folds

Total pot: 1,380
MP wins 1,380

Free play in the BB with a hand that has some potential, and we flop really good with it. Decide to check/call with the intention of leading a blank turn. But we get the 3rd diamond and I have trouble finding a hand I can beat here. Maybe I should have called and saw the river, but not many outs if I'm behind and could be drawing dead to a hand like A9.

Leveled myself here I think. A little similar to the first hand in that the top card paired on the end, but different in that villain did the betting the whole way. Flop and river offered too good of a price, but should have been able to find a fold on the turn.

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. Sick and tired of grinding it out at NL $25 just to get t

Alright so I haven't updated in a while, also haven't been playing either. Recently Full Tilt offered me a $50 bonus without having to make a deposit so I've been playing a little bit. Probably only going to clear $10 of the bonus, really just can't get into playing much anymore with work and other stuff like bowling, which I've really gotten into over the past 4 months occupying my time. Anyway, tonight I sat down at a $100 PLO8 table. Morris Chestnut was at the table and I wa able to jump in and be top on the waiting list because it's PLO8. After about 10 minutes I got in. It was a pretty boring game, not much action, most of the table was playing tight. I thought there would be more action with a red pro being at the table and was hoping to see some hold'em donks occupying some seats at this table. I was up a few dollars when this hand took place.

Foxwoods

Took the afternoon off Friday and headed to Foxwoods. Got to the poker room at around 2 and I was looking to play 4/8 Omaha8. However, the list was about 8 people long, and the person at the desk said that there was an interest list going for 1/2 Pot-Limit O8. It was open seating at that point, so I joined in and soon we had a full table of 10 people and the game got going. Early on I made a pretty bad blunder with a strong hand. I had A Q 4 2 on the button and called a $6 raise. One of the blinds also called and the flop came with 2 clubs and 2 low cards, giving me a Q-high flush draw and the nut low draw. I called a $12 bet from the preflop raiser, the other player folded and we were heads up. The turn was the 5 , completing both of my draws. The PFR checked and I checked behind (I know, terrible). The river was th e , 5 putting a possible full house on board. He checked again and I not only check behind but I turn my hand face up instead of letting my opponent reveal his cards. My
