I'm not sure I've mentioned that I'm playing more right now and my husband and I are in agreement that it's just for awhile- normally I play 2 night/week. Tonight I wasn't going to play, but right after dinner my son was gone, and my husband took the girls to the batting cage for a couple hours, so I went to play and committed to be done by 10:00 (I committed quietly to myself lol, wasn't sure if I could keep my promise to myself).
The game seemed like it was going to go good,... I lost a few small pots and then started winning decent pots but it didn't last long. I couldn't get anything to connect and the people that were calling were catching. It's an interesting thing that I'm seeing in the game right now, there are more people calling larger raises and the flops are 3-4 handed... resulting in larger pots. Also, more people are starting with 200 or more.
Well, now it was after 9:00 and I was down over $100 (started with $200) I started coming back and was up to almost $200 again, raised to $5 UTG with 9c 10c got 5 callers flopped flush draw, I check called $11 and now we were three handed. I turned a straight draw with the flush draw and decided to chase for $45 - I figured I was already stuck and I was willing to lose it since I was playing a short night. There was a blank on the river ... I hesitated to fold trying to represent I had something... I know a couple people, that pay attention, knew where I was. The very next hand I have AA in bb. UTG (the person I lost the last pot to, still stacking my chips) raised to $12 with one caller on the button. I raised to $45 and UTG went all-in - he had me covered and I doubled up! (he had
6d 9d... I know!) He thinks he's funny, when I called he said, "I have the nutz" I turned over the black aces and said, "you have the red ones?" and he said, "yea" and turned over his diamonds 9 6.
Now after that hand and few more I was up 140 and it was going on 10:00.
Profit $130
