dropped one buyin at 1/3 to the worst players i have ever met in my life! what does that make me? anyways...to the hands:
Hand 1)
Call a straddle to $8 with 44 as do four others.
Flop 5d 4h 2d
UTG shoves all in for $57 and UTG+1 overcalls. I raise to $160. UTG+1 folds
UTG shows Ac5c and binks a nice 3 on the turn to make the wheel. River bricks and I'm down half a buyin.
Checked the odds of the hand I was 84% to win the hand on the flop. Standard.
Hand 2)
I call a button raise of $15 with Qd9d as do 3 others.
Flop Qc 7s 9c
I check as do two others and the button makes it $35. I shove over the top for $250 more and the others fold. Button deliberates and tosses his $110 in the pot and shows me AcKs! Turn 10c, River J making him Broadway. Fuck my life. When we got it all on the flop I was an 11:1 favorite to win the hand. Ghay.
Hand 3)
I call a raise from MP with Jd7d.
Flop Ah 10d 8d
UTG (same villain from previous two hands) ships it in for $150 and I call with the straight flush draw as I was stuck, obvi. My 48% chance of winning went down the drain as the turn brought a 10 and the river a harmless black 2. Whatever.
Not going to write much except I played really really well tonight....except for not winning when I was way ahead and one spot where I double barrelled only to run into top set. So it goes. Made a couple nice small bluffs on the river and got away from my big hands when I was obviously beat. Can't be dissapointed. If I run above expectation I probably have a 3-buyin night. Standard shit.

cash game
played in my regular 1/3 full ring game at my buddy Ross' house. The regulars were all there, as was their money for the taking. I ran pretty hot, flopping trips twice in raised multi way pots and getting paid. Flopped a set once. Ended up a lil over $900 up for the night. Ross lost a 200BB coinflip. Haha Ross, you suck!
Played yesterday in another 1/3 game. Same culprits again. I ran pretty up and down. One interesting hand I raised on the button with J8o and got a call from the SB.
Flop: 10 9 9
I cb 2/3 pot to $20 w/ the open ender and got min raised to $40. Gotta love that min-raise! Of course I called and the magic 7 came on the turn giving me the straight. He overbets the pot and I shove over the top, he calls and shows a rag 9, blanks the turn and I drag the pot. nh ty sir for giving me perfect odds to call with my draw.
Unfortunately I lost it all back spewing off chips and in this hand:
Limped pot I call in LP w/ Q9o
Flop comes 10 9 8 r
Someone bets 1/2 pot I call
Turn is a 9 giving me trips. Now, super lagtard overbets 100ish and I shove for 105 more on top and he snaps me off w/ J7 and I brick the river. gg nh you win
So I rebuy and proceed to win a bunch of smaller pots and then I play this hand with my favorite lagtard villain.
Villain raises to $12 and gets cold called by the tighest nit ever (that's you, Ross). I look down at AQhh and pump it to $40. Villain comes along but Ross, given great odds to try to flop his set/GSC*, folds like a little girl. Thanks. Anyways the flop comes down Qs 7 5s. Villain leads into me for $60 and I deliberate and call as he is representing a Q or a spade draw. Immediately, I know that he doesn't have AA/KK as he would have 4bet pre. QQ is not out of his range but he would play that hand really slow and check it to me on the flop. He could have a spade draw, but I was content with him leading into me. I flat called as I believed he had AQ or would continue bluffing in this spot. The turn brings an offsuit 8 which doesn't bother me and villain again leads into me for 100ish. I think about it and decide to snap off any riverbet because he really wasn't repping anything, except for an extremely well played AA/KK, which is unlikely given villain's perceived range. Anyhow, the river brings a 9 or something completing a four-straight and villain bets 200 which I snap off. He shows AK and I rake the pot. gg nh I take the maney.
Overall, I ended up a little over $400. A good take and a fun game.

bad week/month
yeah i had fun over the christmas break. just in a little bit of a funk at the moment. seems like everything is going against me. im prolly just being a little bitch tho. yeah, thats it.
oh, to top it off, my dad just crushed me for 15 points in backgammon in like six games. 15 points in six games! and i won two of the six! that guy runs so high above expectation it is unbelievable. he is incredibly frustrating to play against as he will almost always hit me when i leave a man open and then i will miss four rolls in a row. it fucking tilts me. i do give the guy a lot of credit...he was the Gosling's Gold Cup Backgammon champ so wtf am i supposed to do?
oh well. nfl is on. lets hope i beat the spread!

some hands i played...live cash 1/3 full ring.
repop UTG+1 from 20 to 60 with red AA get cold called in two spots. flop comes K 8 4 all clubs. I ship for 220 everyone folds.
i open MP with QQ to 25 and get 3b by a TAG to 80. He has 350 behind so I flat. flop comes 3 J 3. I lead for 100 he flat calls? his RR range is AK/AA/KK/QQ/JJ. so i beat absolutely nothing. but im a moron so i ship the turn and he snaps KK. nh sir. i misplayed this hand pretty badly and just should have c/c flop and given up on turn or something. folding pre is certainly spew. dunno.
raise UTG with JJ to 18, 3 callers and then the SB makes it 100 to go. seemed like BS to me and he is capable of making moves so I call as he has 400 behind. flop comes 9 hi and he checks I bet 100 he ships i fold face up. i should have checked flop. i play bad.
not as bad as some people i suppose.
i raise CO w/jk to 13 and get one caller. flop comes K 10 8 with two clubs. he checks i bet 3/4 pot he calls. turn is 10h putting a heart draw on the board. he checks i bet 3/4 pot he calls. river is a 9 and i block bet 1/4 pot. he calls and shows j7o for the gutter on the river. you sir are awful.
raise AK no spades ip to 20 and get called in 2 spots. flop comes K 10 7 with two spades and i lead for full pot. both call. turn is 6s and villain 1 checks and villain 2 shoves his last 50 into the pot. i just call as does villain one. river is an 8 and villain one bets 100. i fold face up and he shows j9 off for a rivered straight. nh sir. i guess i misplayed the hand by not raising the turn. i let villain one get there by not making it more to go. ho hum.
hu in a limped pot with 88. i check call 3streets and villain shows me A4 on a 7 6 3 5 j board. nh sir. one day you will miss.
so yeah, standard stuff i suppose. i played poorly tonight against terrible opponents and lost like 800. wtf was going on last night. doomswitched no doubt.
*sad news. A good friend of mine by the name of James Smith died last night in a motor cycle accident. My condolences to his family. Just a really fun guy with a great personality. Always smiling. Such a fucking shame. He will be missed. RIP James.
