Rock Solid

$0.50/$1 NL

So after taking the day off yesterday, i wanted to put in a decent amount of hands, close to around 2k hands, but i ended up playing around 1700 hands. I played very well today, cant recall any major mistakes i made at the tables, i was able to get away from some big hands when i knew i was beat, and i was able to pick up some nice pots as well.

One pot i played i had Ah Qh in middle position (UTG + 1), so i make a standard raise and the guy in the cutoff calls, as well as the small and big blind. Flop comes Kh 10d 6h, small blind checks big blind only has $2.05 so he gets it in, i go ahead and raise that up to $8, cutoff folds and the small blind makes it $40 to go , at this point im putting the guy on something like 66, K10 for 2 pair, at which i have plenty of outs to crush his hand, either way im not folding this draw, so i go ahead and ship the rest of it in, and he calls, turn goes 4h , river goes 7s, ship tha $ this way, he turns over 10 6 off suit for 2 pair. The pot was roughly around $200. Here is the hand. http://www.pokerhand.org/?1194029

The biggest pot i lost during the session, wasn't even for a full buy in, which i was glad. Im in the cuttoff with 99, utg guy has 37 $ total, he open raises, the utg + 1 guy flat calls, im sitting here with nines, i dont really want to flat call here, because the implied odds are not there for me to flop my set, since the utg guy doesnt have that much behind, but yet my hand is way to good of a hand just to fold, and theres also extra $ in the pot since the guy behind him fold, so the best thing i can think of is go ahead and raise this pot up to $15 or so, and try to take it down right there, or just go ahead and try to get all in with the short stack. Well the short stack wants no business in the pot so he folds, utg +1 over calls my bet, usually u put someone on somethin like 10's, j's, AK, maybe AQ, in a situation like this, u never know, but i've been playing with this guy for quite some time, have good notes on him, and his calling ranger here is very wide. So the flop comes 453 of spades, and the guy has pocket 2's, with the 2 of spades, so he has an open ended straight flush draw, he checks to me, i bet out like $32 into a $35 pot, he shuvs all in, at this point im just hoping he has somethin like AK with the A of spades, maybe a pair 7's 8's, i dunno, but anyways i have 99 without a spade, and am just not folding to this guy, i get it in, turn is a Q h river is 6h, gg me, he had a shietload of outs, and stacked me. Im happy with the way i played the hand though, the guy managed to win a $180 pot, heres the hand.

One more hand interesting hand i played, basically had JJ, guy limps utg, i raise, he calls, flop comes 7 high with a flush draw, he has 97 of spades, he checks his top pair, i bet, he calls, turn is a low card like a 4, he checks, i bet , he calls, river is a K, missing any kind of flush draw or a draw like 108 for straight draw , i had him on a draw, he donk leads pot into me on the river, and i just couldnt see him having a king here unless it was Kx o diamonds, i thought for a bit and made the call, he turns over A6 high. Just a good read i think :]. Heres the hand...http://www.pokerhand.org/?1194074.
