Cash Game: Stratosphere April 13th 4 PM-6 PM

After busting from the tournament, I went to the stratosphere to put in a couple of hours at the cash games. It was a weird session because we played 5-6 handed most of the time and Sean was at the table so there was little value there. I was able to work my stack up at the beginning. I raised a limper to $8 on the button with K7hh and got called by a blind and the limper and the flop came Q77. It checked to me and I bet out $15, and the limper minraised to $30 and I put him all in for about $80 total and he folded. I was up to $225 and I chipped up to $250 or so by just playing small pots.

However, nothing really went right for me after this. I raised a limper on the button to $8 with A9cc and got called by the BB and the limper. The flop came J99 2 diamonds and it checked to me and I bet $12 and the BB called and the limper folded. The turn came 2d and he checked and I checked behind. The river came an offsuit 7 and he checked and I value bet $20 and he called and flipped T8 for the rivered straight (hit your hand and no value WP him). I was down to $210 or so after this and dwindled a little bit to $200 or so. I picked up AKhh and made it $8 UTG +1 (6 handed) and a guy playing his first hand on the button reraised to $20. He had only bought in for $75 total dollars so I just put him all in. He almost folded but then he ended up calling and showing KK and I didn’t hit my A and was down to $120 or so. Nothing really noteworthy happened for the last 30 minutes or so and I cashed out the session at $105, down $95 for the session. Im still almost to the positive in cash games and I know that it will turn around very soon.
