A Decent Score

$1/$2 NL

Saturday, I've been waiting for this day for 4-5 days now, simply because I've wanted to sleep in badly. Slept in, woke up, had to mow the front and back yard. Got all that done, went and picked up Tyler to chill over here for the weekend. I got in around 1,000 hands , and ran somewhat decent. The first start of the session I was down a buy in or so ($200) but after that I pretty much ran away with it. I ended up winning $520 , and its just sickening to me knowing that I started with $30 on stars and now have a $7,000 + roll. But here are some hands that I played, and I'm going to go to sleep, get some rest, and probably put in some hands tomorrow. I'll post monthly stats once the month is over.

In a 5 handed game, utg (under the gun) limps for $2 and I raise from the cutoff to $9 with 8s 7s, it folds around to the limper and he makes the call. Flop comes 6c 9d 10s , limper donk leads $11 into the $21 pot , I decided to call here, I flopped the nuts, and theres no flush draw, and i didnt want to raise him off any hands. Turn brings a 3h so the board is 6c 9d 10s 3 h, pretty much the best card that I could ask for, and the board is beautiful. The guy bets $21 into $43 and I decide right here that I've got to raise the guy up, if I want to make any $ on this hand, so I raised him up to $80 and he calls. At this point I really didn't know what the guy had, all I know is he had something that he wasn't folding. River brings an 8d, and the guy ships $192 into the $203 pot, I call hoping he didn't make a higher straight, and he turns over 10 8, for 2 pair, and I won the $490 pot. Heres the hand.... http://www.pokerhand.org/?1311252

6 handed game, folded around to me in the small blind with Ac 10s I raise it up, big blind calls and the flop comes 5s 4h 3c, I check the flop, he checks behind, turn brings a 10d, I bet, and get raised, and I call. River is a 9c and I check call and he turns over 6d2d for a flopped straight. After playing this hand I decided that it was a hand that I pretty much played bad. After talking the hand over with Tyler, we figured that the best line here would have been to bet the flop, fold to a raise, and if the guy calls the flop, I could bet the turn again and fold to a raise. But more then likely If I bet the flop, he's going to raise, and I get away from the hand. Anyways heres the hand that I got value raped on, not a big pot though. http://www.pokerhand.org/?1311271
