Today was the day of the weekly 5k freeroll at the Hard Rock. I did not qualify but Sean did so I went there to play some cash games while the freeroll was going on.
Early on, I raised with 77 UTG to $10 and got called by one guy behind me and one blind. The flop came T84 and I bet out $12 and the blind called. The turn came a 9 and he lead out for $30 and I folded. A couple of rounds later, I picked up AA UTG and I made it $12. One guy called behind and the SB reraised to $25. I 3-bet to $55 and both of the guys called (I don’t know why). The flop came 866 and I went all in for my last $115 or so and they both folded (the SB folded KJdd LOL wtf). I was up to $265 after this hand but I slowly started to dwindle.
I raised to $10 in EP with 55 and the SB was the only caller. The flop came T43 and he checked and I c-bet $12. He called and we checked down a board of 92 and he showed A5 for the rivered gutterball and I was down to $240. I won a small pot when I was in the bb with 66 and 3 limpers and I bet the flop of KK4 and won. I called a raise to $12 with 55 and 6 people called. I missed my set (I really wish I could have hit one here) and folded. I then limped behind a bunch of limpers with 55 and the flop came 942. One of the limpers bet out $10 and I called. The turn came a Q and he bet out $15 and I called. The river came a 2 and he checked and I checked behind and he showed J9 and I was no good and down to $195.
I then found KK in LP with a bunch of limpers and made it $15. I got called in 3 spots and the flop came 732 and I bet $40 and everyone folded and I was back to $220. I found K9 in the SB with 3 limpers and I completed. The flop came T97 2 diamonds and it checked around. The turn came the 4 of diamonds putting 3 diamonds on the board. I bet out $6 and got called in 1 spot. The river came another 9 giving me trips and I checked and the guy bet out $25. It was a really big overbet and I know its an easy fold but I made a bad call and he showed the nut flush and I was back down to $185. A guy raised to $10 in EP and I called behind with 33 and it got 3-bet and 4-bet before it got back to me so I folded.
I then made a really big misplay that cost me a lot of chips. I decided to open my game up a little and I raised in MP with no limpers to $12 with 24o. The button called and everyone else folded. The flop came AJ2 and I c-bet $13 and he called. The turn came a 4, giving me 2 pair and I bet out $25. The guy raised it to $120, pretty much making it an all in or fold situation for me. I thought for a really long time. He played pretty tight and he told me “AK is no good” and “AK is no good for you you know” and he said “AK is no good”. I thought a little longer and I really put him on a hand like AJ or something so I decided to fold. I really should have called because he showed A8 and I would have had the best hand for pretty much a stack and probably won a nice sized pot. I should have known he was bluffing because he got really talkative (which he never talked before), he was staring at me in a way that looked like he was bluffing, and he said “Ill show you if you fold” but it was in a way that he was a little worried. I saw all the signs but didn’t follow through and I missed a good chance to win some chips. Also, a guy that I had played with before and made semi-friends with was at the table. After the hand he took me aside from the table and told me he was trying to tell me to call through motions the whole hand because he had played with that guy a bunch and he knew he was bluffing. Too bad I didn’t see him.
Anyways, I was down to $135 and I bought in for $100 more so I was in for $300 total. I picked up QQ behind 2 limpers and raised it to $15 and a guy behind me moved all in for $40 or so. I called and he showed QQ as well and I dodged a spade on the river to get the chop. I folded for a long time and eventually found KQo on the button with 2 limpers. I raised it to $15 and both of the blinds and both of the limpers called. The flop came AKJ and it checked to me and I c-bet $40 and everyone folded and I took a pretty substantial pot on the flop there. This pot got me to around $280 and I left soon thereafter with $279, which left me down $21 for the session.
In other news, Sean won the freeroll (well, he chopped it when it was 10 handed. . . everyone else wanted to chop and he didn’t want to chop and he had a huge chip lead so everyone else took $400 and he took $1000 so he technically didn’t win it but he basically did so its still good). I don’t know for sure what I will be doing for poker tomorrow but I will be playing in the deepstacks Monday-Thursday probably so hopefully I hit a final table there.
