Cash Game: Stratosphere April 11th 3:45 PM-6:15 PM

I busted from the deepstack at 11 PM that night and I was exhausted and far too depressed to play any more poker that night. However, the next afternoon, I was at it again. I went to the Strat to play some $1-$2 NL.

The table was so easy but I kind of got in some bad situations. I raised it to $17 with AKo with a couple of limpers in front and one of the limpers called. The flop came T54 and he checked and I bet out $20 and he folded and showed AJ. I limped behind a bunch of limpers with 55 and the flop came 965 all diamonds, flopping me a set but still on a very dangerous board. One of the limpers bet out $10 and one of the l other limpers called and I just called behind to see what the turn would be. The turn came the Jd and the first limper bet out $40 and the next limper called. I thought about calling here because I KNOW that one of them has the Ad and I would get paid but I decided just to fold (one had the A and one had the K but the board didn’t pair so it doesn’t matter).

I raised UTG with 88 to $10 and got called in multiple spots and I check folded an A95 flop. I then raised 4 or so limpers on the button to $21 with AQss. The first limper reraised to $200 and I instafolded. I was down to $160 or so after this hand. I picked up 99 and raised it to $12 in EP and the BB was the only caller. The flop came J93 2 diamonds and the BB checked to me. He usually fast played all of his hands so I figured that he had nothing so I checked behind to try to let him catch. The turn came a 7 and he checked and I figured I had to bet with the str and fl draws out there so I bet $13 and he folded.

There was a raise to $10 in EP and I found AKo in LP and reraised to $40 and it folded to him and he instafolded. There was a raise to $10 and a caller and I found JJ in LP and reraised to $35. Both the raiser and the caller called and the flop came 842. They checked to me and I bet out $60 and they both folded and I had used multiple small pots to work my stack up to $240.

We were playing 6 handed and I raised UTG with A7o and both the blinds called. The flop came Q64 and I bet out $15 and the SB called. The turn came a T and the SB lead out for $40 and I folded and I was back down to $215. I folded for a while and last hand before I left, I picked up KK and raised to $10 in LP and no one called. I won this pot and left with $212, up $12 for the session.
