Online play

$1/$2 NL Work today sucked, it was super hot outside and miserable all day. Made it through alright though, and was ready to play some cards. I got in around 1000 hands and the session was pretty bad, I mean I lost KK to AA all in for $400 + pot, nothing I could do but shrug it off. I lost KQ to A10 all in on flop of KQJ, I couldn't get away from this hand giving the guys stack size, and I lost 10 10 to guys 9 9 all in pre, but he was a shorty and the pot was like $210 or so I think, not 100 % sure. Pretty standard stuff, can't get upset about this stuff you just gotta keep playing your best and not let it get to you. I finished out the session up around $160 and I plan to play more after work tomorrow. I'm tired and have work yet again tomorrow, so I'm going to sleep, Here is one hand that I played that was interesting.

UTG (under the gun) raises , guy directly behind him calls and I call in the cutoff with 10 s 7s, the button and both blinds fold. Flop comes down 9s 5c 8s, the original UTG raiser, leads out for $24 into the $24 pot, so I can take inconsideration a few things. First off UTG raised pre-flop, so he's got to have some sort of marginal holding, 2nd he has just bet pot on this flop with 2 people behind him, so this guy means business and has some sort of good hand, or so I think. I was putting him on some sort of overpair, but it didn't matter, I just flopped an open ended straight flush draw, and I have to raise. So I make it $80 straight, and he calls. Turn brings a 9h, so the board reads 9s 5c 8s 9h, and he checks to me. At this point im putting him on an over pair 10's or higher. I missed my draw on the turn, but top pair paired the board and there is 2 9's out there, which is actually a good card for me especially sense I'm going with the hand now, I think the 9 on the turn gives me a little more fold equity then what I already had, so I shuve the rest of my $170 into the $184 pot, guy tanks and calls with QQ. River is a 2s and I make my flush and win the $500 pot. I am not a big fan of this guy calling my all in on the turn, really there is nothing that he is beating besides this exact hand. I check raised him on the flop, he calls, and I shuve the turn all in, he's not beating much giving the line I took against him. But he obviously was felting his queens as long as there wasn't an over pair, and I was lucky enough to hit one of my outs. Here it is... http://www.pokerhand.org/?1346188
