Heavy Action!

After my last post I went up to 50,000 chips by winning three pots. On the first I raised with QJ, and got one caller in the big blind. The flop came Q high and my opponent check called a good sized bet. The turn was a brick and I decided if this was it then oh well. After he checked the turn I moved all in and he folded.

A few hands later with blinds at 600/1,200 a player who'd been raising very often made his standard 3,000 bet and I just called with KJ on the button. The small blind came along too and the flop came down A Q T all spades. The original raiser made it 7,200 I instantly moved all in and took down the pot.

Then I went back down to about 30,000. And then all the way back up to 70,000 when the following hand came up. I raised from the button with Q9s and got reraised by the big blind. I called and the flop came down JT9. He made a good sized bet and I moved all in. After some thought he folded and I was up to over 90,000.

Then I got totally jobbed. With blinds of 800/1,600 a player made it 3,935 to go from middle position (Really!). I decided to see a flop with 78 from the big blind. The flop came down 5 6 J and I was going to check raise semibluff, but my opponent checked behind me. The turn was a 9 which was a total bingo card making me the nut straight. I check raised him all in and he showed 69 for two pair. To my shock on horror the river was a 9 making him a full house and costing me 85,000 chips. SHIT!

I'm back to 31,000 now in 164th of 199, but still in it.
