Thursday Game

Well, I thought I played much better last night.

 

I think I chased one flush draw last night:  I raised $20 PF, got 3 callers.   I have AcQc, flop comes KcJc2h.  Check to me, I check, Harvey checks behind me.  Turn 3d, no help, check, check, harvey bets $100, checker calls, I call for implied odds.  <- bad move?  Not quite the right odds, but if I hit, my implied odds...  But I don't.  River 5s, no help, Harvey bets $200, (he says he rivered a straight, not that it matters), us two wussy callers fold. (I'm sure he was chasing a flush as well, and I'm sure Ida gotten paid, just not by Harvey, unless it was the 5 of clubs.)

 

Another hand: I have KK, Chris raises 20 pf, I am in late position, he gets one caller, I reraise to $65 straight.  EJ calls from the button, Chris calls. (too much pf?)  I don't mind shutting it down right there, or gaining information to let me know where I am.

 

Pot just over 215.  flop is 78x with 2 clubs.  Chris checks.  I bet $200, EJ felt it was an overbet, he says he thought the pot was only $150.  Whatever, he goes AI for $92 more.  I realize I may have made a mistake here, only because I didn't leave myself enough room to learn if there was a flopped set.  Yeah, well.. 92 to win $605? um.. yeah!

 

The turn and river are 9, T,  which work just perfectly with his jj.  FACK!  Outstanding.  Oh well, I calm myself down and get back into the game.

 

Started with $400, made it just over $600 got tagged, dropped to $100, rebought $300, fought back, left with $365.

 

I reasonably could have saved $100, on that call with Harvey, or perhaps raised instead of calling, but that would have meant AI on a draw.  Like I said, I think I played much better, I just have nothing to show for it, but a minimal loss.  Which is better than (-1300), or (-1000)
