I’m glad I posted those hands yesterday – I knew what I was doing was bad, but needed a slap in the face to bring myself round.
Today I played properly – folding poor hands and playing good hands aggressively. That being said I had an AA hand crushed because I paused on the turn. He probably wouldn’t have folded QQ anyway;
6 players
Stacks:
UTG ($4.31)
UTG+1 ($4.14)
Hero (CO) ($5.01)
BTN ($6.58)
SB ($4.07)
BB ($1.36)
Pre-flop: ($0.06, 6 players) Hero is CO A

1 fold, UTG+1 raises to $0.12, Hero raises to $0.36, 3 folds, UTG+1 calls $0.24
Flop: J

UTG+1 bets $0.68, Hero raises to $2, UTG+1 calls $1.32
Turn: 3
($4.78, 2 players)
UTG+1 checks, Hero checks
River: Q
($4.78, 2 players)
UTG+1 bets $1.19, Hero calls $1.19
Final Pot: $6.81
UTG+1 shows: Q

Hero shows: A

UTG+1 wins $6.81 ( won +$3.26 )
Hero lost -$3.55
So, finally came out in the black and feel happy with that;
The other loss was also a bit cruel – I had hit my set on the flop (22′s I think), the board paired with aces and I built the pot up to a bit bet on the river (which was a J). The villain called and had AJ





















I had a hand just like your Ace Jack Beat today. I had a full house and the got caught a river card to make a bigger full house.. UGH.. gotta love poker.
