All going swimmingly

I soon won back the remainder of what I lost at $50NL, and these were the hands that did it...

- at my very first hand at a table I get AA in the BB. UTG+1 makes it 50c, MP makes it $3 and I make it $11. UTG+1 folds but MP pushes and his QQ misses. +$22.80

- I make it $1 UTG with QQ and UTG+1 and the BB call. The BB is a dweeb. The flop is 233. BB checks and I bet $2. UTG+1 folds but the BB calls. We both check a K on the turn. The river is a Q! BB bets $2.75 and I push. He calls with 93o. +$25.80

After these I had won back enough to once again play $50NL. First though I decided I needed alittle MTT time, so I played 4 $4 180man STTs on Stars, and they went pretty awfully. In one I came 77th, but in the other 3 I went pretty far. With 18 places paying, I ended up coming 19th, 21st and 27th in the remaining 3. Nice waste of $18 and nearly 3 hours.

Back to the cash games- I started $50NL again and played very tight, and I was rewarded but getting in some nice situation...

- I get AA on the button and make it $2. The SB makes it $13 and I just call. The flop is Q-9-5 and the SB pushes for $28. I insta-call. The turn is a K and I feel like I've been outdrawn, but an A on the river stops me worrying. The SB shows 10-10. +$40.10

- I get QQ on the button and make it $2. The SB makes it $6 and the BB calls. I re-re-raise to $15 and just the BB calls. The flop is 2-3-6 and the BB pushes for $34. I insta-call and he shows 88 and misses. +$52.75

- I get AA in the cut-off and make it $2. The button makes it $6 and it is folded to me. I re-raise a little too small, and only make it $12. The button calls. The flopis 8-6-2. I bet $16 and the button calls. The turn is a 9 and I push. The button calls with JJ and misses. +$55.20

There was one nasty hand where I'm not really sure how I played it...

- There are 3 limpers and I make it $3.50 in the SB with QQ. Just the last limper calls. The flop is 6-7-J. I bet $6 and get called. The turn is a 9. I'm not really sure where I am, but I push. He calls and shows 78. The river is an 8. -$40.10

Overall though I won about $150 at $50NL so I am pretty pleased. I also got $18.20 in rakeback on FTP.

Bankroll - $1497.19
