Overall the session went ok. I was ahead much of the time, but from time to time it got iffy. He liked to chat a bit and show me his cards when he won and I folded. That was nice of him.
A somewhat strange hand and one that switched our chip counts around..
Anyway nice to have won that one! Blinds 25/50. I'm SB w/1965 chips and pocket 4's (4d 4h). I open raise 2 BB (100) and BB re-raises to 250. Since I have a pair, though small, I call. Flop 2d 6s 8d. BB bets all-in w/his last 760 chips into the 500 pot. I decide to call; not sure why as there are two overcards to my 4's. He shows Js 9c. Well I'm good so far! Turn 8h. I'm still OK!! River 6c. I think I've won but the chips go his way. WHAT?? OH. The board double paired and my 4's are lower than the board's paired 8's & 6's. They are no good, pot goes to high card which is his J. Back to the drawing board with my 980 chips.
Fortunately I was able to get a lot of them back next hand w/pocket 6's (6c 6h). I'm BB and he limps in w/50 and since I have a pair I decide to raise him all-in w/my last 930 chips. He calls showing As 2h, one overcard. Flop 7s 10d Js. Turn 2d. River 3h. Phew I win and have 1960 chips. A few hands later it was all over.
I find the chip/bet slider a bit fast on Poker Stars & it's hard for me to zero in on the bet I want. Seems easier, oft times, just to type it in. In the tournament last night because of that I had some bigger bets than I intended.
