Nice Quick Session

I meant to make a post yesterday describing how I didn't feel I was playing my best lately. I played a few tournaments on Wednesday night and played pretty awful, and I knew it. I was making some terrible calls and I don't think I got my money in ahead once. I just wasn't playing very patient, and I think I might have been a little bit on tilt.

But last night I sat down for a quick session and I crushed.


If it wasn't for the following hand, I would have won over $1,300 in 30 minutes.

Full Tilt Poker, $1/$2 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 5 Players

UTG: $311.55
CO: $280.20
BTN: $400
Hero (SB): $418.80
BB: $233.15

Pre-Flop: 2c 2s dealt to Hero (SB)
UTG folds, CO calls $2, BTN folds, Hero calls $1, BB raises to $12, CO calls $10, Hero calls $10

Flop: ($36) 2h 4d Qh (3 Players)
Hero checks, BB checks, CO checks

Turn: ($36) Qs (3 Players)
Hero bets $32, BB calls $32, CO calls $32

River: ($132) 7h 3 Players)
Hero bets $96, BB folds, CO raises to $192, Hero raises to $288, CO calls $44.20 and is All-In

Results: $604.40 Pot ($3 Rake)
CO showed 7d 7c (a full house, Sevens full of Queens) and WON $601.40 (+$321.20 NET)
Hero showed 2c 2s (a full house, Twos full of Queens) and LOST (-$280.20 NET)

So I go for the check-raise on the flop, but no one bets. Then I lead out almost full pot on the turn, and this idiot thinks that his 7's are probably good. Bah!!

Still, not bad for a half an hour. here is one of the big hands. Bet bet bet :)
