A positive night

I played four about three hours last night and I was +36 when I quit. I played 2-4 and 3-6 limit mainly for the purpose of clearing my powerplayer bonus. I need about 1140 more points by next Thursday, so if the cards don't hate on me, I should be able to get it done.

Two hands from last night. I pick up 8-8 in last position. I raise to $9 (3-6) table. Only one caller in early position. The flop comes 6-J-4. The other guy bets and I raise. The turn is a big ole beautiful 8. He bets, I raise. He checks the river and I bet. He calls and flips over KK. He wasn't happy, but he didn't curse me like the guy from the night before (see previous post).

The other hand. I pick up KK in the big blind. A guy in late position raises to six and the guy on the button raises to 9. I raise to 12 and the other two call capping the betting. The flop comes out K high. I check and both opponents check. I bet out on the turn and they both fold giving me a pretty nice pot.

I also played a hand on a 2-4 table where I picked up AA and it managed to hold up for a decent pot.

I don't know that I played either of these hands well, but I did manage to get a little lucky on both of them. I also know that for about a month, I was on the losing end of hands like that when my AA or KK or QQ got cracked by a set so its nice to finally win one that way.
