I played quite a bit yesterday and ended up with a $5 profit, but it wasn't easy. I had to donk off some money is .25 NL game, get knocked out of a $3.40 SNG, lose about $5 in .25 NL (more on the crucial hand in a sec), finish second in a $11 SNG for $30 and then win $12 in .25 NL.
The hand where I lost the $5 in .25 NL went down like this. I bought in with $25 and had worked it up to $36. I picked up AK in late position and raised it up $2. I get only one caller. The flop comes 5-K-7 with two clubs. I bet out $5 trying to run the guy off if he's on a flush draw. He calls. The turn is a blank. I bet $6, which is 2/3 of his stack. He calls, which tells me he's either on a strong flush draw, has a king or flopped two pair. The turn is the K of clubs. I knew when it hit that it wasn't good for me. He immediately bet his last three bucks and paid him off. He flipped over 10-9 of clubs. Other than going all in was there anything I could do to run this guy off the hand? Not likely, but it's guys like this where the money is made. "Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug." And in this case, I was the bug.

I managed to escape Smackover several years ago. I still call it home even though I've not been back there for anything other than a funeral in several years. I follow the Buckaroos and have friends there that I talk to. I post on things that really don't matter but I do like to post.
