Some bad luck this week.

So I guess I will start with the home game this week. It did not go so well, I lost ten dollars. This brings my years total down to $33. I was card dead all night. I was only dealt two pocket pairs, nines and queens. I lost both hands. The first hand, nines, I raised, Taylor and Sam called. The flop came 789 rainbow. So I raised again with top set. Turn was an A, being a short stack, I decided to move all in. Both Sam and Taylor called. The river brought a jack. Taylor showed J7 and Sam had A10 for the straight. I bought in again and managed to stay alive for a long time despite being card dead. After a while I was down to 22ish chips and I was dealt QQ. I moved all in preflop. Sam and Boston both called me. Boston had AK of spades, and Sam had 66. The flop came 699 giving sam the full house.

Over all it was definitely Sam's night. He bought out for $18, so congratulations Sam.

I didn't get to play online as much as I would have liked. I ended up only playing 5 or 6 SnGs. I won a little bit and brought my bankroll up to $19.84. The play was pretty standard, however, there is one hand that I want to discuss. In full tilt you can save your hand histories and then copy paste them, so here is the hand history, lets hope that I got it formatted correctly.

The hands that I think he could have there would be AA, KK, QQ, Q2, 22, AQ, A2, and 23s.

I ruled out AA, KK, QQ, and AQ because he would have reraised me preflop. I thought that he would have folded Q2 preflop, So that really only left A2 and 23s. So I folded. Im still not sure if it was the right decision, however I did go on to take third place and he lost so that was good.

Anyways, outside of poker I am looking for a job now. It sucks and I wish that poker could be my job, but thats pretty unrealistic.

Again, I will end with a link to a cool website. My bud Todo showed me this webcomic a couple of months ago. its a pretty awesome web comic about poker. http://plusev.keenspot.com/
