Wow Two Long Session in 3 days

Well I finally played a coupla long stretches of poker. I went to the Love Shack Saturday night about 11pm and left about 4am. Lost my first stack with QQ against a flopped set. I bet my over pair on the flop and got 2 callers. Well I guess I shoulda realized there werent many draws out there but hell these guys stack of with top/top all the time. In fact when I shoved allin on the turn which was about a pot sized bet it wasnt the tight one who called it was the other guy. So I rebuy and lose that down some and put another hundred on that. I was playing too many pots but I was picking up quite a few and probably breaking even on marginal hands. Then I hit 2 sets against the same dude and got back even. The one I remember was when I smooth called behind a raise and a few callers with QQ and hit it. I didnt feel like pushing my QQ there like I normally would. It worked out. He bet the flop and I smooth called. Then he insta checked the turn and I said "so I guess you're done" and bet $40 and he pushed in behind me and said "good read". I call and dont say nothing because he was just being funny not an asshole. So I got even and then eventually the game broke and I was down $65. I would return on Monday night.

I show up at the Monday night game about 11pm. They were running 2 tables. I sat at the must move and it was prety nitty. I dont remeber what happened but I lost. I do remember re-raising preflop with JJ against the only loose guy and getting called. The flop came 8 high but he checked to me in a way I didnt like. Seemed to animated like he wanted me to think he missed. I checked. He checked again and I bet the turn and he moved in for like 100 more. I mucked my pair which was still higher than the board. He showed me QQ. Phew. Coulda went bad quick. After I moved to the main table I tightened up a little. I remember going broke when I called $7 with a Ace 2 suited and the flop was Ace,2,3 all spades. UTG bets $6 into this $30 pot and the crazy guy who gets lucky goes all in for $60. I think crazy guy has a spade and Im worried about the UTG but I call. UTG goes all in. Im beat I guess but I call another $100. UTG has the flopped flush. Crazy has King of spades. I dont hit and crazy guy wins when the spade hits the river. UTG got my extra which probably mad him $30 net. It was a fun game. A guy who won an ESPN televised circuit main event showed up to play. I had never knowing played with him but he looked familiar. Of course I had seen the televised tournament though. All of a sudden every pot was big and he was usually in it somehow and he didnt wn any of them. I think he was stuck like 1200 in a half hour. But he wasnt the only one losing. People were calling $200 river shoves with a pair. Also I think we saw about 6 four of a kinds that nite. I had KK once and woulda lost a lot to a guy who flopped a set and river quads but the Ace hit the window and the turn and I didnt bet any street or call his value river bet. I gave him credit for a nine. Just one though. Most of my pots were me winning preflop with a raise or reraise or me winning with a continuation bet. I won a decent pot when I hit a set once. Actually I called with 4,2 after limping to a straddle and hit two deuces on the flop. I check called the flop and check raised the turn. There were 2 flush draws so I figured I better push the turn. He didnt have either draw or he woulda called. I had a lucky hand where I raised with 87 and hit a 7 on the flop and my bet got called but I hit a 7 on the turn too and got called. Unfortunately another Jack hit the river and I decided to check call but he never bet his top pair of Kings. My last hand I limped with Aces and a guy raised it to $12 and 3 callers and I made it $45. He called plus two more. I hated it. I bet $85 on the flop and they all surrendered after putting me through some stalling torture. That put me up about $15 and the way these pots were going that was one hand. I decided to leave since I had no profit on the table and way more than I wanted to risk. Plus it was 4am and I had to work in 3 hours. I had fun. I gambled a little and made some tricky plays. Feels good to be playing again.
