Wednesday Night 9/18 (9/24)

So I rolled into Cap kinda late, around 11pm or so. Saw The Dark Knight at Imax btw...sick stuff.

Anyway, I sat down at 4/8 for a few orbits and I kid you not, I went 2 for 4 with big premiums (AA-JJ). Unfortunately jacks and kings won me a couple small pots and the aces and queens lost me some bigger ones. After my name was called for the 9/18 game I was down $60 or so...

9/18 didn't start off so hot either as I was dealt 99 my 3rd hand at the table and raised from EP out of seat six. Bill (older, nice white guy regular) called from the eight seat as did the blinds. The flop came out JT9. I bet, Bill raised, blinds folded, I 3-bet, and he capped. The turn was a blank, I bet, he raised again...and so I decided to call. Me and Bill have some history, and we both should be able to put each other on big hands at this point. The turn was a hideous eight, so I check/called and he showed KQ for the flopped nut straight. Oh well...

9/18 continued to be pretty awful for the first hour and a half or so, as I just couldn't make any hands hold. There was this older white woman named Michelle in seat three who was just terrible, and sounded like a 3/6 player the way she tried to justify the donkeyish way she'd play a hand. I iso-raised her a lot with some solid cards (AK, AQ, medium pockets) and some other stuff like A9s or JTs, and boy was she mean-mugging me all night. Two pots she beat me out of early on were just disgusting...the A9 hand I flopped top pair and she flopped a couple backdoor draws with KJ of spades. Of course she goes running spades on me and I make two pair on the river and have to pay her off. A couple hands later she turned a set of threes against my pocket tens on an all-unders board...omg lifetilt.

At one point I was stuck close to $600 on the night, but eventually turned it around and left Cap around 5am or so up $380 (+$440 on 9/18). I'll talk about a couple beats I took before I end the entry for tonight, and I'll be back tomorrow (later today errr after I wake up) to talk about the sick hands I caught after hour number two to pull off a $1k swing.

The first beat is pocket aces in the Cutoff. Limped in one spot, I raised, a regular out of seat seven named Tom I think (short, mustache, always angry) calls from the button with 76os and the BB and limper call. The flop is 972 rainbow...BB donks, limper folds, I raise, Tom calls for some reason, BB calls. The turn is of course a seven and it goes check, bet, raise, fold, and I check/call down.

The second one is kinda minor, but it still kinda sucks. I got Kings somewhere in EP, I raised, and pretty much everyone called. The flop looked great (Q94), I bet out and four people called. The turn was an ace though, and Wilson bet out from the small blind and the BB raised so I had to fold. Oh well...

Like I said, things get much better, so I'll come back tomorrow and talk about those hands. Thanks for reading.
