Bad Break

I took a break from poker on Monday and came back on Tuesday ready to put in a long NL cash game session. With my batteries recharged, I woke up at the crack of dawn (10:00 AM that is) and opened up 8 tables of $0.50-$1.00 NL HE. The session didn't go as well as I would have liked, I think that I could have won a lot more, but I did have some interesting hands, I finished up $54.50 over 1350 hands, an almost inconsequential number, butI feel like I played well so I am gonna hit it again today and hope it goes better.

[/color] This one is great, the best part is the river bet, he called large bets with top pair and thought he managed to river yahtzee.

I put him on something like AK but I suppose I could have gotten him to fold an underpair such as 99, thats the other possibility that occured to me. I like the way this one worked out.

I'm about to put in a 1/2 NL session (4 or 6 tables) I'll post some hands afterwards.

Stay Lucky everyone!
