Hand 13. I have $10.45, MP1, w/Ah Kh. UTG+1 w/$26.56 open raises .30, I call, action folds to the BB who calls. Flop Ad 6h 2h. I have a nut flush draw. BB checks, UTG+1 bets .50 and I raise to $1. BB re-raises to $1.70 and UTG+1 re-raises all-in w/$26.56. This is one of those decisions I don't want to make. I hate to give up and I hate to be out my $10 so early in this RUSH session. I bite the bullet, hope for the nut flush to hit, and call. BB folds; UTG+1 shows pocket 6's (6c 6d), hitting his set on the flop. Turn 8c. River 10h. PHEW!!!! I win and have $21.42.
From that point forward to hand 150, I had minor ups and downs but no more bit pots. I folded a lot of hands and tended to fold even decent hands if I got raised on them and the cards showed they could be beaten. I also didn't worry about the blinds and unless I had decent cards just quick folded rather than see if I could pick up a quick two or five cents. I'd rather spend my energy winning nice pots. Occasionally I'd re-raise a few players who bet 2-3 times the BB just before the blinds; some folded and others just called. All in all it was a decent session and though I didn't make any big gains after that big pot early in the session, I didn't give it all back either!
