It was another solid night of poker for me. This time I finally hit some hands and hit some big pots. Last week my biggest starting hand was pocket 99s. This session I hit plenty of pocket pairs, but none of my big pairs made much money or held up, in the beginning. I wasn't hitting any sets for 5 hours. Then finally they came. But along with the big hands, comes the bad beats....
My first set of 7♠7♣ got me paid with a board of 10♥7♦Q♥, the turn was another Queen and river a 3♦. The other guy had A♦Q♦ and just smooth called all my bets to the river, he was afraid that I had what I had and he was right. To bad he just couldn't fold it..
This put him on tilt and he wanted to make his money back from me. I took another $200 from him when I had pocket Q♣Q♦ and he called me down to the river again. It was a rag flop and he was on some kind of straight draw.
Finally he cracked me when I hit a set of 9♠9♥s. The flop was 7♣9♦J♥. Nicole bets $12 on the flop. I re-raise to $25. Mevlin and button guy smooth call. The turn is 3♣. Nicole goes all in for $53 so I just smooth call. Melvin calls and the dealer pushes all-in for $211 more. I put him on the straight, but have to call. Melvin folds and the river is an 8♦, no paired board. The button guy shows the nuts 10♦-8♦...
At that point I still had close to $500 in front of me. I didn't realize it, but I had my stack up to over $700. When the rush comes, sometimes you forget how you got there.. I continue to play some and win some of my losses back. I finally leave cashing out $575 for the session.
