I'm back, baby!

I'm recovered from the crazy day that was 'feces and spiders'.  I'm back onto the streak of winning sessions of poker.  I played for about 5 1/2 hours and nothing too crazy happened.  I'll give a rundown.  

I had 9c 5h from the BB.  Flop comes 678h.  Pretty nasty.  I got rewarded with the pot.  The turn was another 6.  Not good.  I bet small each time just in case.  He had the Ah and a pair.  

A hand early on I had Qh 10h.  The flop comes Ah Kh 9s.  I thought about it and decided I wasn't going anywhere on the flop.  I have a couple outs.  The turn was the Jc.  NICE.  I like this card here because it disguises the hand.  If a heart turns, it's obvious. I won this pot against two players.  The A rivered, too.

One donkament played his whole stack to the end with a flush draw and hit it on my two pair.  I talked a small amount of shit and he said to me that when I sucked out on him he didn't say anything.  I quickly shot back, "you should have." He was in for $600 and got up and busting the 3rd time.

I had JJ and made a standard raise.  The flop came 10 high.  Ron checked and I bet $20.  He called.  The turn was a blank and he shot out a nice bet of $25.  I still had him on A10.  The river was another rag and he checked.  I decided quickly I was good as there were no overs and I was extremely confident he had A10.  I bet out $50 on the river.  He called it.  The JJ held up and I heard him whisper to the guy next to him he had A10.  A dead on read is nice to have while I am in a hand.  A skill I need to work on.

Finally flopped a set of A's.  I had wanted to for the last month or so.  I finally did and got a nice pot of Old Jim.  

Back to the grind tomorrow.
