Yay 2/5nl

Well I shouldn't feel bad. I've been playing 2/5 and 1/3 so far this month. My 2/5 play is at about $23/hr which is half what I consider easily achievable by me. But it's an extremely small sample. I haven't ran terrible, but I've been running into tons of spots where I can make good folds and not lose much. But these are spots where I should often be winning and I'm not. I shouldn't complain, I'm happy with my play, but you know how it is.

For instance the other day I have KTo from the CO and it's folded to me. I make it $30 and only the big blind calls. An old guy with about $300 and I have him covered. Flop is T58 with 2 clubs (I'm clubbless), he checks I bet $50 he calls. Turn is a red 9, and he check raises me all in after I made it $60. I've seen this guy call down 2 times with a draw and never put in a raise when he missed (although he donked out on the river once after missing with Ace high). As a matter of fact I've never seen him raise once in hours. So I fold and save myself $160 when he rolls over 67 off suit. The nice thing about live poker, you get to see most hands even if you fold. People are obsessed with showing their hands.

Getting tons of those spots where I play perfect, but my profits are less than I expect of myself so I'm a bit down about it. Haven't been involved in a single pot where I put in more than 50BB's in last 4 or 5 sessions. I did make 1 bad fold in a 3 way pot, but it was a small pot where I folded JJ on a Kxxx board vs 2 draws that both missed and I would have won. Small pot so no big deal and prob a +ev fold actually.

Also lost with AA vs KQ.......this one is funny kind of. Btn opens for $20, I make it $80 from SB and he calls. Flop is KKJ, we both check, turn is a Q. I check he bets $20 I call and announce that I should be raising here (me just being an ass cause I know I'm beat). River is blank and we both check. He rolls over KQ off and says "I didn't bet in case you had quads". My comment actually scared him into thinking I had quads.......even though he had one of the Kings........so I lose only $20 postflop in a 3b hand that was $80 preflop to call. LOL live pokers is rigged.

Mimi is off tonight and tomorrow night, gonna rent some movies and hang out at her house for 2 nights. No more poker till Friday.
