Sometimes the poker gods do smile on you :-) Other times they don't. :-)

  This 1^st hand was unbelievable!  I didn’t realize what terrible shape I was in after the flop as pepecash69 slow played the flop and the turn so I had no reason to back off. After the flop per Poker Stove pepecash69 was a 99.39% chance to win and I was a mere 0.609%, but as I said the poker gods were with me on the Turn & River!!

At HU (hand 90) I had 12,255 chips to 1245 and I thought I’d be able to pull out 1^st but I wasn’t able to put the crush on him and the poker gods were more on his side then mine.

Hand 95 I have 88 vs K5 (66/44 my favor), board turned out K 3 5 2 J, He doubles up to 2490

Hand 114 I have 33 vs AJ (53/47 my favor), board turned out 5 5 A 2 8. He doubles up to 4820

Hand 123 I have QQ vs Ad 2d (68/32 my favor), board turned out 5c 8c Ah 4d Kd. He doubles up to 8920  to my 4580

Hand 135 I have Ac Tc vs Kh 9d (67/33 my favor), board turned out 9c 4c 6h 2c 6d. Board hits me for a change, I now have 9580 to his 3920

Hand 162 I have 33 vs A9 (54/46 my favor), board turned out T 6 4 T 6. Double pairing on the River to negate my 3’s and make his Ace good.. He doubles up to 6940

Hand 181 I have As 8s vs 9 8 (71/29 my favor), board turns out Q T 9 9 8. He doubles up to 6280.

Hand 185 I mis-read my hand thinking I have a straight. I’m down to 4620

Hand 185 I have Qs 5s vs Qc Jc (70/30 his favor). He raised my O-R 2 BB bet that would put me A-I, and I decided to gamble and see if the board might go my way on this one. It didn’t ….. 6 K 4 A 3.  Session finally over. I end up 2^nd.

Overall though, what has stuck with me most on this one is the hand where I had less than 1% chance of winning after the flop and I won!!! :-)
