Weekend 4/12/08 --- Break Even

I went to Amelia Belle this weekend to play 3/6/12 limit game. Really alot of calling stations at table, and a few people who kept betting 12 on river bluffs. Three big pots I sniffed out bluffs which brought me all the way to +160 ...

GREAT CALLS:
1. Blind vs. Blind --- I had 93 and flop came 2 9 A, he bet I raised he calls, turn came J, I check he bet I call, river came 7, I check he bet 12... I thought for a sec looked at him trying to very still, I called and he immediately said you win and I showed him my 93 off suit....

2. J9 vs. button flop comes Ah Jh 2h, I checked he bet, I called, turn came 9, checked, he bet, I called, river came 6, I checked, he bet 12, I called and he said you did it again, read another player well, he showed me 10 3 offsuit and I won with my J.

3. 85 spades in middle position vs. 44 in SB. flop comes 637, he bets its folded to me, and I raise to isolate, SB flat calls so I know he doesn't have 54, turn comes brick A, now he is trying to represent an ace and bets, I flat call and the river comes a four... YES.... my straight... He leads out 12 with his trip 4's, I guess he was hoping I had two pair.... I thought about for a minute and kep my composure, then I repopped him for 12 more..... he called ... nice pot.... 5 callers preflop

GOOD FOLD:

AA in late position with 7 callers, didn't do any good for me to raise in limit poker because everyone will call to see flop.... well flop comes AK7.... checked all the way to me... I bet out first position calls along with 2 more players and I raise now trying to build a pot with a massive flop...
everyone calls, turn comes a 10. 1st position bets out, 1 player behind him folds, 1 player calls, and I call, playing it safe. River comes a 9, 1st postion bets the max other player calls, and I fold and show my three aces giving 1st position for his QJ for the A high straight.... it was too obvious, he kept blinking and couldn't hold in his composure....

MASSIVE DOUBLE UP:

8 players in a raise pot and I look at 55 on the button and I call the $6 to see a flop. Flop comes 7 spades 5 spades 3, first position bets, 3rd position raises, 6th position flat calls, I flat call to get more money in on turn. Turn comes 7, now I'm filled up and I'm gonna make a pot now. first position checks, 3rd position bets, 6th position calls, and I raise on button, Now 1st postion folds, 3rd position reraises 6th position flat calls again, and I reraise,,,, continued to max.... river comes 10 spades. They both check check, I bet max $12, and they both called 3rd position held KK and 6th position had nut flush... I take down the pot with 55577... Filled up...


Overall, I came out ahead about $7.00, even after being up about $260, now enough for a combo at Burger King, LOL.... but I got a lot of play between 5PM - 4AM. Lost alot of my stack when we were 4 handed because of the open ranges short handed, and not beleiving the players hands... one guy got k2 vs my AQ on a board of Q222K. GG LOL..... Run better next time
