I can't miss!

I have been crazily busy this week and so have hardly played. I thought that after my exam on Monday (it went really badly!) I would have more time to play, but so far that hasn't happened. Maybe next week. So I have only played 3 sessions this week and this is how they've gone...

Session 1
This only lasted about an hour and was pretty up and down. I lost 2 big pots early on with AK (both of which I could've possibly gotten away from) and then was stuck a bit. But then I hit 3 beautiful/lucky hands to get me back in the game! Firstly I had QQ v 88 on a KK2-8-Q board. Then I got all-in with AdTd v 33 on a 8d-6d-3 flop and managed to hit. Finally, some loser was nice enough to pay me off with AT v Q7 on a 7A7-Q-K board. SO after all the excitement I ended the session up about half a buy-in.

Session 2
I won almost the exact same amount in the next session, but it wasn't nearly as exciting. I was missing every flop, and despite not losing more than about $5 on any hand, I was about $50 down after half an hour. Then there' s a limp UTG and I make it $2.50 in the BB with AQ. UTG calls. The flop is Q64. I bet $3.50, he calls. The turn is a K, not ideal. I check, he bets $7.50 and I call (?). The river is a 10 and I check/call $16. He had 33, but I think I was pretty lucky here and he often has me beat. I obviously tilted him though because the next hand he stacked off with his K2 against my AK.

Session 3
This session was one of those rare sessions where everything hits. You raise 77 and flop 7-7-6. You hit every draw, and every steal turns into the nuts. Good times. Example 1 - I raise KQ on the button and the BB calls. The flop is AJ10. He has AJ. Nice. Example 2 - I call a re-raise with TT and the flop is AT2. He has AK. Nice again. Example 3 - I get all-in with KK, and he has QQ. Ideal. Example 4 - I get all-in with Ad3d v JJ on a Jd-2d-4 flop and hit. So after all that fun I ended up winning about 3 and a half buy-ins in 38 minutes. Good times.

This week I need to try and play more! I would hope for at least 4k hands this week, but you never know.

A hug.
