shorter session

only about 250 hands. ended up just short of a buy-in.

here are the interesting hands:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1503640 - i don't usually raise like this from the blinds but did here just to change things up. i c-bet the flop w/ a weak top pair and get called. the turn doesn't complete any draws and i'm pretty sure i can get him to fold a wrap with another bet on the turn so i fire a 2nd barrel. on the river a 45xx hand gets there but i don't think he's calling on the turn w/ just a wrap. i doubt he has a set since he would of raised to protect it. i think he usually has a flush draw or weak two pair so i fire the 3rd barrel and take it down.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1503646 - a decide to limp behind a couple of limpers w/ trashy aces. i get a dream situation when it gets raised behind me and then the original limpers call so i re-pot and am shoving any flop.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1503659 - i raise it up utg w/ a semi-weak hand and get a big family pot with 5 calls. an ok flop with a pair and the nut flush draw. a get a single caller and improve to top two pair to go along with the draw. i make a weakish looking bet hoping to induce a shove but he just calls again. river fills me up and he unfortunately folds.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1503659 - take a flop heads-up in position. flop a vunerable top set and get check/called. the turn is the absolute worst card in the deck. i check behind hoping to fill up on the river or get to show it down for free. im not beating anything he bets on the river and am forced to fold.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1503770 - raise up a couple limpers in postion with a disguised hand and get two calls. i just give up on the flop since it hits so many hands and completely missed me. on the turn i spike a 6 to give me the 3rd nuts but the action in front is extremely scary. the table had been playing pretty passive and these two players limp quite a bit so KKxx and JJxx is definitly in their range. i can't see ice raising anything but a set here and i think for a while before finally folding. might have been a mistake but i'm pretty sure it's a money saving fold long term.

i hope to get a bunch of hands in this weekend so more to come.
