2 crazy sessions

I have been very busy so I have only played 2 proper sessions since the last post, and they have been pretty crazy. Both have been 4 tabling 6-max 10c-25c on Party. Here's the monsters...

Session 1

- I limp KK UTG and the button makes it $2. I make it $11 to put him all-in. He calls with 22 (!). The flop is J-J-3, but the turn is a dirty 2. -$10.89

- I get 82 in the BB. There is 1 limper and I check. The flop is 8d-8-2d. We both check. The turn is a 7. I check, he bets 50c and I make it $2. He calls. The river is Jd. I put him all-in for $18.26 and he calls with Kd6d. I don't think I played this hand well at all, I made it pretty obvious I was strong, but luckily he hit his flush and couldn't fold. +$18.61

- UTG limps and I decide to just limp on thebutton with 88. The BB checks. The flop is 6-6-J. It checks to me and I try to take it with 50c. UTG calls. The turn is an 8. He checks, I bet $1.20 and he makes it $3.25. He obviously either has a 6, or maybe JJ. Either way it's all going in, so I push and he calls with 67. +$11.29

- The cut-off makes it $1.25 and I call on the button with 33. He has been tight, and I hope he has a big pair. The flop is 8-5-3. He bets $2.25 and I make it $8. He pushes and I call. He shows KK. +$24.54

Session balance = +$78.42

Session 2

Before the first big hand, I had been playing for about an hour and was almost exactly even.

- I had K10 in the BB. It folds to the button, and he makes it $1. He had done this every single time it folded to him on the button. The SB folds and I make it $3.50. He calls. The flop is Js-3s-K. I bet $4.50 and he min-raises. For some reason I am convinced he is making a move, and I push. He called with AsKs and I am basically dead. -$41.81

- I get JJ in the BB. There is 1 limper and the button makes it $1.25. I make it $3.50 and they both call. The flop is 6d-7-10d. I bet $7 and the limper pushes for more than my $12 remaining. The button folds. I think I have to call, and he shows AdJd. He rivers an A. -$22.75

- I get AQ in the SB and it's folded to me. I make it $1 and the BB calls. The flop is A-J-8. I bet $1.25 and get called. The turn is a 2 and I decide to get sneaky and check. He bets $3.10 and I am almost 100% sure I am ahead, and want him to bluff again on the river. I call. The river is a 6. I check and he bets $10. This is a big bet, and I'm not at all happy calling it, but I do and he shows 66. -$15.35

- I raise 9d8d UTG to $1 and UTG+1 makes it $3. It is folded to me, and I am obvioulsy tilting and call. The flop is 3-4d-5d. I check, he bets $3.75 and tilt appears and I push. He calls with Jj and I miss. -$23.39

So at this point I am over $100 down, which would've made it my biggest losing day ever. But luckily I regained a little focus and found a couple of nice hands...

- UTG limps and I limp on thebutton with 97s. The blinds check. The flop is 10-6-2. The BB bets 50c, UTG folds and I can foresee the turn, and so I call. The SB folds. The turn is an 8. BB bets $1 and I make it $5, he calls. The river is a 6. He checks and I'm not worried about a FH and bet $15. He thinks for ages and called with Q10. +$19.15

- UTG makes it 75c and I call on the button with 33. The flop is 10-9-3. UTG bets $1.75, I make it $5 and he calls. Thr turn is an A. He bets $3.50 and I call. The river is a 7. He bets $5 and I push for $15. He thinks for ages but folds, saying he had Q10. +$13.64

- MP makes it $1 and I make it $4 in the BB with KK. MP pushes and I am sure he has AA due to the way the session has gone. I call and he has Ak and misses. +$33.66

So in the end I ended the session down $38.83, which I am so pleased with! I know I was playing very badly, thinking everyone was making amove against me, and it coud've been a lot worse. Next time I will be a lot more focused.

Bankroll = $1204.50
