Cash Game: Running Aces September 28th 2011

After my long 7 1/2 hour session last night/this morning I was ready to settle in for another long session today at Running Aces. As a reminder here are my total stats for Running Aces.

1 session
7 1/2 hours
+$70

Unfortunately for me today things did not go well at ALL.

First hand I played today a player in MP opened to $10, the SB called, and I called in the BB when I found AKo. The flop came 643 and everyone checked. The turn came a 9, the SB checked, I bet $18, the raiser folded, and the SB called. The river came a 5, he checked, I checked behind, and he showed K3 for bottom pair. I made it $8 UTG with A3dd and a player in MP called. The flop came AK6, I bet $12, and he called. The turn came a 7 and we both checked. The river came a 5, I bet $20, and he folded. I checked my option in the BB with several limpers with 42hh and the flop came K95 2 hearts. I checked, a limper bet $4, another limper called, and I called as well. The turn came the Jh making my flush, I checked, and the 2 guys behind both checked also. The river came an offsuit T, I bet $12, the bettor folded, and he other MP guy made it $24. I didnt really want to call that much but I did and he showed me T6hh for a higher flush. Guess I could have folded but it was pretty early and I didnt know his skill level so with a 1 card straight on board its a tough sell to fold. I was down to $150 so I bought back in for $40 more (-$50).

There were 2 limpers and I made it $8 with KQo from the cutoff and got called from the BB and the limpers. The flop came AJ3 2 diamonds, they checked to me, I bet $12, and the BB was the only caller. The turn came an offsuit 3, he checked, and I checked behind. The river came a 6d, he lead $16 and I folded. Its too bad the flush had to come because I was somewhat thinking he had the flush draw just because he was in the BB and if he had an A its a weird way to play it. I was down to $160 (-$80) after this hand. I then got coolered pretty hard in a hand that cost me quite a bit of money. I made it $8 with AJo from UTG +2 and got called by both of the blinds. The flop came A53, they checked to me, I bet $12, and the SB called. The turn came a J giving me top 2, he checked, I bet $20, he made it $60, and I called. The river came a 6, he bet $60, and I called and mucked when he showed me a set of 3s. Bah. . .I guess I am never good on the river here vs a mainly solid player so I should probably fold but I am going to blame this on the rust I had from taking 2 1/2 months off. Gah easy fold maybe even on the turn too but IDK maybe im being results oriented. Anyways after this I rebought for another $200 putting me in for $440 total. My stack was at $220 or so so I was -$220 on the day.

There were 2 limps and I made it $10 from the SB with QQ. I got 1 call and the flop came J53 all clubs (I did not have a club). I lead for $16 and he folded. There was 1 limp and I made it $8 with KQo and the limper called. We checked to the turn on AT3T where he folded to my bet of $12. It folded to the button who opened for $8. I found KK in the SB and 3-bet to $22 resulting in everyone folding. aldskfj;alsdfkj;lj.

I thought I would be able to take this hot streak back to winning but it was not to be so. I was at around $220 when I found AKo UTG +1 after UTG had limped. I made it $12, everyone folded to the SB who made it $50, the limper folded, I made it $110, he went all in for about $160-$170 total and I called. He showed AA and I wasnt able to catch up on TT5K9. I guess I could have flatted his $50 and folded but whatever. He had been active enough and he was the guy I had played all the pots in the previous paragraph with (QQ, KQ, and KK) so there was a chance he might have been getting "fed up" with my raising but I guess they always have it. I was down to my last $70 (-$370) after this hand and was ready to go after this hand (I didnt have enough money for a full buy-in so theres no real point in playing short stacked) but I was UTG so I decided to look at my cards before leaving. I found KJcc and opened to $8 and got called by a guy on the button. The flop came Qc9c5x and I got it in vs his 97o and failed to catch my million outs busting my stack and making me out of the whole -$440 for the session. GAHHHHH so frustrating.

I was planning on a nice long winning session but got just obliterated in 1 1/2 hours. What a waste of time. . .I dont know if I play badly or what but it sucks.

Overall that makes 2 sessions with 9 hours of play with me being -$370 total. Hopefully I can recover from this to get back in the green.
