First Session

As I have a bonus to earn off at Full Tilt, and I should be getting 30% rakeback, I thought I would kick off with a session of 10c-25c there. It started well, I was raising a lot of pots and the players seemed incredibly passive.

Then the first toughy...

-I get 6d2d in the SB, there is a limper and I complete. The BB checks. The flop is 6-6-5 with 2 spades. I bet out 50c and the limper calls. The turn is a 4 and I bet out $1.20 and he calls. The river is a J and I bet $2. I think this is a bad bet, if he is drawing then he isn't calling, and if he has a hand then it probably beats mine, unless he is playing A5 like a dweeb. Anyway, I bet $2 and he makes it $10.15. I think he could have spades and so call, and he shows 55. - $12.10

- Now I am a little pissed off and waste a few $'s. Then I get J9o in the BB. The button limps, the SB folds and I check. The flop is a delightful K-Q-10 rainbow. I bet 50c, he makes it $2.10 and I call. I check the 4 on the turn, and he bets over the pot for $6.25. I push for $22.65 and he thinks... and thinks... and thinks and calls with K10. The river is a Q. +$21.70

- So I'm feeling a bit better and raises Ks9s in MP to 80c. The BB re-raises to $1.75. It's only a small raise, I have position, and I want to stack him, so I call. The flop is 5-7s-As. He bets out $2.50 and I have a decision. I had been raising a lot pre-flop, and stupid people seemed to think the way to counteract this was to re-raise me back a very small amount, so his re-raise didn't necessarily mean strength. And I was feeling a bit fishy, so I pushed for $25 and he calls with AK. I hit my spade on the turn and it's good day Vienna. +$22.30

There was a lot of banter after this hand, and I made a few EFL's (Enemies for life), but it was all fun.
