BU (Hero) wins 2,220

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:

Winning Poker, Hold'em No Limit - 75/150 (15 ante) - 6 players

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

1 fold, MP calls 150, 1 fold, BTN calls 150, SB calls 75, Hero checks

Flop: (690) 9♠ 4♦ 9♦ (4 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, MP bets 345, 2 players fold, Hero calls 345

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.

Hand #3:

(Equity - Pre-Flop: 38%, Flop: 18%, Turn: 9%, River: 0%)

MP wins 2,520

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...

Update

Didn't realize it had been almost 2 months since I last updated this. So yeah, really just haven't been playing at all. A few weeks ago I was available to log in and play a nightly LOLmaha but the site couldn't connect. Didn't think much of it, said "oh well" and did something else. But when I couldn't log in again or get on the actual website itself then I started to think something was up in the poker room. Looked on twoplustwo to see if there were any posts about it, and someone wrote that the management on another forum referred to the players as "FREE ROLLING SCUM". LOL. Can't find that post anywhere on the online internet though and too bad because that would be a fun thread to read I'm sure. 🍿🍿🍿. I can't really blame them for that sentiment though because the only time the site had any type of traffic was during the Sunday night freeroll. Then of course there were other players like me on there that were pretty much ...

Fantasy Football Spreadsheet

A few days ago I was looking online for a point calculator for fantasy football (too cheap to spend the $10 on StatTracker). Something where I can enter the players stats and calculate the total points. Unable to find one, I made it myself, in excel. I figure it might be useful to someone who happens to come across this post, so here's the link to it. It uses the default yahoo league configurations, so if your league is different you'll have to go and change some of the numbers in the formulas, or positions, or whatever. Otherwise you put the stats in the left hand column, and the points will appear on the right. I made it so there are no partial points, and so it rounds down. For example, if your QB has 249 passing yards, you will get exactly 9 points, not 10, not 9.9. The only points it does not calculate is points allowed for team defenses. You will have to manually enter it on the right hand column yourself. I have provided the guide for yahoo leagues. So there you have i...
