My 21st

So, the day is finally here. I wasted no time last night. I went to the casino and by 2 am, I was playing in a Limit game. I sat with 60 and was down to about 38. By the time I left, I was up to 89. I only got to play for an hour and a half. I was happy with the results. Here are some hands...

UTG, I pick up AJs. It's about time I get a hand too. I had not gotten anything thus far. I raised it, making it 8 to go. I got two callers. The flop came all rags. I bet out with the AJ. I got one caller this time. I checked the turn and river and at the showdown, I showed Aj and he showed A8. Kinda weird.

Another...I have a KQ in middle position. I make a call after about 3 people call before the flop. Flop comes Q high. I call the flop bet and river is a rag. I check and someone behind me bets. I have to lay it down because of the straight draw. River is another rag and the guy calling it down has a Q9. I had him rolled. The other guy had a straight and took the pot.

Another hand, in the BB. I have 99. Flop comes A59, all clubs. I check the flop and call the bet. Turn brings a rag and I check cause I know I'm beat. Let's get to the showdown. Winner shows J10 of clubs.

A final hand. I have a little 63o in the BB. Flop comes 578. I bet out. Two callers. Turn completes the straight. I bet out again and get a caller from the lady on my right. Turn is of no consequence. I bet out and she calls. I can't remember what she had but I took the 50 dollar pot.

I was liking this limit thing. It makes me less nervouse than NO-Limit because I know there is no way I can go broke on any single hand. I can beat the players in the game. I know that much. Hopefully I can play a few hours on Tuesday. That is all for today.
