 Nightmare session.
AsAc in the BB. Worst player at the table at the table raises to $12 in the cutoff. The button calls and I re-raise to $40. Both players call. Flop is Jd9d2s. I bet $70 into $120. Initial raiser moves all-in for $123 and the button moves all-in for $133. It is $63 to call and the pot is already at $456. I call. I am hoping the bad player has KK or QQ. The next guy I think has a hand like AKd. The initial guy has JJ and the button has AQd. Gross. I don't improve and lose a damn fine pot.
6h6c and I limp in early position. Another player who I think is very weak raises to $6. There are four players to the flop of 10c9c4s. He bets $8 and it folds to me. This looks like a pretty standard weak continuation bet and I call. The turn is the 5d and I check. He bets $20 and now I think he possibly has an over pair but more likely that he has a flush draw with overs and maybe a gutshot. The river is a 6d. Jackpot. Now I am really hoping he has an over pair. I bet $100 into $76 and he insta-calls with 1010. Dammit.
AsJs in the BB. Matt W. who a very loose aggressive player raises to $12 on the button. This could be any hand. The SB calls and I call. Flop is AcKh6s. I check and Matt bets $25. SB folds and I call. Turn is the 4h. I bet $25 to see if he has a real hand and he calls. The river is a 6c. I check because I am almost always good here and He can definitely bluff. I am check calling basically any bet which ends up being $50. He shows 6h8h. Wow.
Qc10c in the hijack. There is a raise to $8 from UTG and 4 callers to me. I call and there is 6 of us to the flop of KdQd10h. UTG moves all-in for $11. Three callers to me and I don't suspect a straight with no raise on a flush draw board so I raise $35 more. One player calls and the turn is a 5d. He checks and I am hoping he has a pair and an open ender. I bet his last $60 and he insta-calls with Js9s. I can't hit my four outer and lose again. Not crazy about the way I played it.
Qc9c in the cutoff and I raise to $8 after it is folded to me. Tight player on the button makes it $20. I call and the flop is Jc3h7c. I check and he bets $25. I should have pushed here, but I just called like the poor player that I was today. The turn was a 6s and I check again. He bets his last $65 and I call. No club and I lose to his AK. SO bad. SO lousy. SO sick.

OK Nothing new. Was able to regain chips after a bad call with pocket eights, that left me with 365 chips, 90/95 place. I was moved to different table and caught a pair of jacks on the first hand, now 1400 chips, pushed again with a medium hand (?) won 3000+ chips then very next hand pocket aces, I doubled the BB pre-flop, the flop came, I bet 1600 the other guy pushed his 4000 I insta-call he had jacks and I was now up to roughly 8800, which I wasn't able to do anything with from there .. tbc.

 not sure what's more sick, that I win 105 bucks playing with .25 bb or the fact that I was actually stuck more than I won to begin the session...yeah, it's the 2nd one for sure. I lost 120 in the amount of time it took my wife to go to the store and back for a gallon of milk. I was like well this is the end at this rate. Then I finally got some hands to stand up and the pot that really got me going I have AAxx in a 3 way pot where we get all in for 40 something each pre, they both have all their own outs with KQJ10 and the other had AKJ10, the flop was 9 7 3 and it bricked out running 4's to give me a pot with 500 big blinds in it.

$0.10 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (26th out of 360 Players)
Another measly win! The most meaningful hand here is when I had K/J off with 1200 chips BB 200, I called, flop came K Q J I raise to 800 was called turn came 5 I push remaining chips, was called, show down he had 10/9 (straight) river came K. WOW! So that saved my life. Second was on BB with pocket 10s, early position pushes all in with about 3900 shows 4/4 I had 2800, one other caller (chip leader) shows 7/7. Chip leader wins side pot, I win main pot for almost 10,000 chips. Wasn't able to hit anything after, ended in 26 pl. The game before this I finished 44th place but wanted to mention hitting a ROYAL FLUSH diamonds (1st time ever - I think) having only 895 chips and 2 others in the pot I didn't collect much, and wasn't able to finish ITM, even with the best hand ever. Does that mean I suck ... yep!

$73 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (35th out of 43 Players)
Couldn't get anything going and got felted on the false read.
Memorable hand:
1. (Good) Blinds 25/50. 4 limped and I checked in BB with AcQc (yup I'm that tight now). Flop comes Kc6c3. UTG+2 (Mr ultra tight and always-think-he-is-beat) bet 300, only I called. Turn 7o. Led for 700 and he folded.
2. (Good) Blinds 100/200. UTG+1 (Dealer James, who is decent) limped, I limped from CO w/ Ac8c. SB folded, BB checked. Flop 7c2c7d. James led for 1,000, with 2,400 behind. I min-raised, he flatted. Turn 8, he shoved I called. he got TT. He won.
His range is really narrow here, but there's a lot I can beat. I put him on a 7, flush (obviously worse) draw, or a small pair. He had the last thing I thought he had.
3. (Well, bad I guess) 200/400. The word is wrong tell. UTG+2 peeked at his card, thought about that, and made it 1k. I instantly put him on nada. BTN (big stack) called and SB called. I have 8k in chips and ATo, decided to stick to my read and shoved. Well my read couldn't be more wrong, UTG+2 had aces.

Have been really busy, and it doesn't hurt to take a break from my disastrous run. Finally went for a session before the Thursday deep stack tourney. Played well, still in the red but no complaint! Got to get back on track!
Memorable hands:
1. (good) 3 limped and I'm on the button with TT, having limped with the same hand when I first sat down, and end up showing my hand down, I raised to 17. UTG (loose passive player) called, as did UTG+2 (young aggressive player). Flop comes 689 rainbow. UTG+2 shipped for 59, I reshipped for 100 more and UTG folded. He had JTo, I hold.
2. (good) Straddle is on, I limped with Ac4c. CO (aggressive player from last hand) raised to $20. Straddle called, which he probably planned to defend 100% of the time. I called as well. CO had around $60 behind.
Flop T85 rainbow, all checked. Turn 6, I bet 50, and they all folded.
Took advantage of my tight image, which I haven't had for a long time. I played ultra tight, well, because of my recent bad runs. I was scared.
3. (whatever, cards played itself) UTG (same aggressive player again) limped, UTG+1 raised to 6. UTG been really playing a really stupid game, raised to 6, and then folded to reraise of like 17 with plenty of money behind. And he does that like every other hand. 1 called, I called from SB with 88. Now UTG limp-reraise to 25. Well everybody else folded. UTG only had 59 to start the hand so I shipped. He called with AdQc.
Flop: A9d6d "argh..."
Turn: 8d "YES!"
River: 2d "Oh...."

was the typical roller coaster situation where I got down early getting my AA cracked by QQ all in preflop and him finding the Q 2 3 give me 2 outs flop. Then I went on a nice runner and got up about 50, came crashing back down to stuck 30 and finally going a nice heater to get winner. The key hand on the way back up was the hand that drives me insane but usually I am on the other end of it, I have QQ in sb and bb raises pre. Flop is A Q J, I also flop gutshot and 10 high flush draw, but I don't ever go nuts with it. The turn is a J, he pots it for 4.50 and I just call, the river is the case Q and I go for the check raise and get it as he bets 9 and I shove in for 12 more. He of course has AA for a rough beat, but I feel like I am owed many of those.

Made a mistake early where I flop a set of Aces and another guy flops a set of tens. We both check and I should have just led out. The turn made the board A104J. And we both check called another player down. Should have stacked him.
Raised five of my small pocket pairs in late position and was getting four and five callers every time. Nothing very memorable from the session. Very Active player raises to $6 and I re-raise to $21 from the button. He calls and the flop is 10c7c4d. He bets $20 and I raise to $65. He shoves all-in for $100 more. I fold and he shows Ks10s. I won a nice little pot with AA. Five callers at $9 preflop, then two at $35 on the flop of 2c6c8s.

$10 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (5,000th out of 35000 Players)
Haven't played the Sunday quarter mil for a long time. Been running so bad live so I decide to just play a little online.
Played pretty bad and donked off half my stack, then double back in this hand. Thought I was bluffing but I was ahead the whole time though.
Blinds 50/100. Effective stack 1400. I opened to 449 UTG+1 with KQo, SB called. Flop comes 6cAh5c, he checked I shoved. He called with Tc7c. Turn Jh, river Th, double back!
I got blinded down to 2200, then triple up when my KK held up against QQ and JJ. After that I slowly chipped up when this hand comes up.
Blinds 300/600/50. Effective stack 13k. UTG called, I called on the button with 68s, SB completed and BB checked. Flop comes T74 rainbow. UTG bet 1800 and I called with my double gutter. Turn 9! 2 clubs on the board. UTG bet 4800, almost half my remaining stack so I shoved, he is drawing dead with AA. 27k stack, 16k average.
Then this hand completely destroyed my tight image.
Effective stack ~24k. Blinds 400/800/75, I opened in MP to 1899 with 42o. SB flat, and BB folded. Flop comes 3d5Jd. SB checked I checked. Turn is 9, and he led for 2400, I called. River A! He check-called 4567 from me, I guess he had a pretty good hand. 35k stack!
Very next hand I lost 99<A4o AIPF. Kings and jacks on the board lol. I lost some small pots, then this hand crippled me right before bubble time.
Effective stack 12k. Blinds 500/1000/100, MP opened to 2000, been really active lately and folded to 3 bet. I shove with TT. He called with JTo.
Flop 78K "no nine no jack!", turn Q, "no nine no jack no ace!" River ... A.
Down to 3368 and it costs 2400 per orbit. Had to post both blinds before bubble burst. I doubled one time and finally 66<79. gg.

Played pretty well, but donked off a large portion of my winnings.
9s10s UTG+2 and I limp. Prak raises to $12 and Pat calls. Both of these players are loose aggressive. I call and the flop is 7hJs8d. Pat fires $30. I call way too fast. I always think to call fast like I am on a draw, but when I have a draw or a semi-bluff situation, I am very deliberate. Prak shoves for $70 more and Pat folds. I insta-call and he has 7d8h. Dodge the four outer and pick up a nice pot.
Kd10d in the SB. Limped six way pot. Flop is Jd6d3d. I lead out for $6. BB calls and Prak raises to $12. We both call. Turn is the 9s. I lead out for $27. I did this to try to squeeze the BB and it looks like the 9 somehow helped me. BB calls and Prak shoves for $65 more. I call and the BB calls off his last $25. I flip over right away and the BB has Jh9h. I don't know if Prak was live, but I gathered a nice little pot.
10d10h on the button. Pat is the only limper in the cutoff and I raise to $13. She then re-raises to $37. I have $540 and she has $350 I call and the flop is Qc7c9s. She bets $55 and I am trying to study her manner. Her neck is pulsing off the charts which I have usually found to be a bluff. Not with her specifically, but in general. She has also turned into a statue which is bluffish. I decide that she could really have AK here. Why did she limp in the cutoff with a hand that beats me? I call and the turn is a Qd. She checks and now I think she is ready to hand over her bluffing AK just a decent sized bet and this pot is mine. Okay $60 sounds good. I bet and then she shoves all-in on me. WTF?! I fold. She said she had KK, but she is constantly lying about her hands and I can't believe anything she says.
