A Few Hands of Note

I played for quite a while last night and for about an hour this morning at the 2-4 tables. Both sessions were in the negative. One hand from last night that sticks out: I pick up KK and raise. I get two callers. The flop comes 8-10-4 with two hearts. I bet, again two callers. The turn is the J of spades. I bet, one fold, one call. The river is the 5 of hearts. I bet, get reraised and immediately know the guy has the flush. I paid him off anyway. That hand hurt.

This morning, I pick up 10-10 in late position and reraise. I get two callers. The flop comes K-10-Q. First guy checks, second guy bets, I raise. Both call. The turn is a 6. The first guy bets, the second guy raises and I call. The river is a blank as everybody bets. The first guy has A-J for a straight. The second guy has AA and I have trip 10's. Oh well.

For either of these hands, I think I played pretty well and ended up losing. Its part of the game, but that makes it no less easier to swallow.

I only have 850 points remaining on my powerplayer bonus. Hopefully I'll have it done by Tuesday or Wednesday.
