Cash Game: Venetian March 16th 9 PM-2:15 AM

After I busted from the tournament, I decided to sit in a cash game for a while. I was the first person to be called on a new table and everyone bought in for $200-$300 so there was going to be a good amount of chips in play. The cash game started just excellently. On the 3rd hand, someone raised $10 utg and there were 2 callers to me and I called with 22. We were 4 handed and the flop came A62. The original raiser makes it $10 and one of the callers makes it $35. I flat call and the turn comes a K. The raiser bets $50 and I move all in and he calls for about $75. He shows 66 and I am down $180 right out of the gate. I bought in for $200 more but nothing seemed to be going on the right pace.

I picked up AA and got one caller and the flop came a good looking KQJ and checked behind and the turn came a 10 and we chopped when he showed down A2. I called a raise with 75 and the flop came 732 and called his flop bet but folded to his turn bet when the turn came a 9.

I really didn’t have much going on but was able to snipe a pot when this loose goofy player raised in early position and I called with 33 from MP. We were the only ones to the flop and he bet $15 on 942. I called and the turn was a 10 and he bet $30. I called again and the river was a 5 and he checked and turned over AJ. I was up to $250 after that pot and nothing that exciting happened for a while.

Some older guy made it $12 UTG +1 and I called in MP with 67ss. There was one other caller and the flop came 833 with 2 spades. The old guy made it $25 and I called and the other guy folded. The turn came another 8 and I was planning on folding but the old guy only bet out $25 again so I decided to call to see the river. The river was the 9s giving me the flush but the old guy bet out a big $75. I had absolutely no idea what he might have but narrowed it down to him not having an 8 or 3, so he either had an overpair to the board, pocket 9s, or a higher flush. Ultimately, I didn’t think he would bet so much with a higher flush so I ended up calling and he showed AJ for no pair and I won the decent sized pot and I was up to $385 or so.

I won a couple of smaller pots when I bet the flop with 69 on a 932 flop in a multiway raised pot and I bluff raised a raiser with QJ on a T86 flop and got him to fold. I dwindled down a little after calling a series of raises and not hitting any flops. I picked up KK and made it $10 preflop UTG +1 and got called by both blinds. The flop came QJ7 and they checked to me and I bet out $20 and the SB moved in for about $65. I called and the board blanked out and she showed me a Q and mucked. I was at about $410 after this hand.

This was at around 12:15 and I only played one other hand of interest in the last 2 hours as I hit a real dead card streak. One guy limped ahead of me and I found J10ss. I made it $10 and the small blind, who was a terrible terrible female player, and the limper, who was a loose semi-donk, both made the call. The flop the best it could for me as it went AKQ rainbow. They both checked to me and I tried to keep the bet small so they would both call and made it $15. They both called and the turn came an ugly looking J. The both checked to me and I checked behind hoping to induce a river bet. The river came a 2 and the stupid female player bet out $30. The other guy moved all in (he was about $600 deep) and I called (I was about $380 deep) and the stupid lady called (she was about $180 deep). The guy flipped over Q10, me J10, and the stupid lady KQ. Luckily, I still made some money on that hand as me and the guy split her $200 or so but its too bad the lady didn’t reraise me on the flop as she would have gotten the other guy to fold and probably (99%) called an all in from me and I would have had her whole stack instead of just half. I finished the hand with around $485 in chips but leaked off a few from blinds in my terrible hand streak before I cashed out at $437. A net profit of $37 dollars after my $200 rebuy.
