Payout: 1-12 Entry. 13 - $4.
Mixed play but mostly decent. Went for a nice looking flush & straight draw that I didn't get, with a player who kept making large bets on the Turn & River, leaving me w/5 chips. Sadly I was too sucked in for what "could be" and couldn't resist the gamble to see it happen. Overall I was more patience this session.
Hand 24. I'm HJ w/Ah 4h and 1185 chips. MP limps in w/100, I call, SB calls, & BB checks. Flop 5s 7h 6s. I didn't do much toward a nut flush but do have an open ended straight draw. SB bets all-in w/1590 chips, BB & MP fold. I think about it a bit and wonder if they already have the straight and decide to call. SB shows Qd 8c and they have an open ended straight draw too that could beat my straight. Turn 8s. The 1st thing I think of is that they paired their 8 and now are ahead of me. River 10d. Nuts. I'm beat. WAIT, the chips are coming my way! WHY??? Oh, I hit my open-ended straight on the Turn!!! I didn't see that!!! Guess I've been losing too much lately!! Anyway I now have 2570 chips.
Hand 33. I give up some chips. I'm MP1/Kh Jc and 2090 chips. I limp in w/a 160 bet, the CO calls, SB folds, and BB checks. Flop 9s 3d Ad. BB checks and I bet 320 into the 560 pot. That was a bit larger than I intended but if it gets other players to fold, ok. CO calls & BB folds. Turn Qh. We both check. River 7d. I check, CO bets 640 into the 1200 pot and I fold. I'm down to 1610 chips.
I need to think further into why I decided to get involved with KJ in the 1st place and what I'm hoping for in the flop. Mainly I think a straight or straight draw on the flop. ok, then what do I do when it doesn't happen? Do I want to do as I did and be aggressive post flop in hopes of getting the other player(s) to fold, or should I just check and fold to any bet?
Hand 37 where I drowned in hoping to hit my flush draw! I'm SB w/10s Js and 1370 chips. UTG open raises 2 1/2 BB (400); action folds to me and I think about it and decide w/pot odds of 2 to 1, I call; BB folds. Flop Ks Qs 3d. Love at 1st sight!!! I don't have a nut flush draw, but with an As I'd have a Royal Flush and with a 9s I'd have a straight flush! Both very nice to have!!! Of course at this point I have neither!! I check and UTG bets 455 into the 960 pot. That's a more than I'd prefer to call on a flush draw and in hindsight, if I was planning to push this flush draw to the end, I'd have been better off going all-in instead of checking. I call. Turn 7h. No flush. I check again and UTG bets 320, I call. River Qc. Missed the flush and straight. :-/ I check and UTG bets 270, which for some reason I choose to call. UTG shows pocket 7's (7s 7c) hitting his set on the Turn. Somewhat weaker cards than I expected but still the winners! I'm down to 5 chips.
Hand 38. I have Kd Js. vs Ad 10d. Board plays out: 7d 10h 7h 2h 5h. I'm done.
