Some hands I didn't play!

Alright here are some interesting hands that I didn't play during a cash game...

I had A, 4 - one pre flop raiser to about X 6 or the big blind.

Flop - A, 4, 8

Turn - J - one player goes all in.

Showdown - One player had A, 9 and another player had A, Q

River - Q

Here's another one...

Under the gun raises to X6 of the big blind and the player next to him raises to X12. (when the X6 raise was placed I saw that he wanted to bet more but he only grabbed X6, I figured I should call the X6 but not the X12)

I fold pocket 2's. No other callers and the UTG guy goes all in for about X3 of the max buy in and the raiser calls fast!

Showdown - UTG shows A's and the caller shows Q's

Flop - 2,2,8!

Turn - blank

River - blank

The guy who called the all in just lost a big pot before this hand because the UTG guy called with a 7, 4 and I think he raised because he wanted to win what he lost back.

Here's another one, I get 9, 2 - Everyone limps in but I didn't call.

Flop - 9, 9, J - One player raised X6 of the big blind and gets 2 callers

Turn - 9 - One player goes all in and nobody called.

Finally - A hand that I played

I get 6,4 with 5 players calling the X5 of the big blind

Flop - J, 5, 3 - One player bets X5 of the blind and I figured I push out of turn for about X6 of the pot... I get two callers with another all in on top of my all in! What can I say, I didn't expect that!

Showdown - I show my hand and the player to my left showed two pairs, J 3 and the one that pushed after me shows AJ.

Turn - 8

River - 5

Good game!

At least I'm consistent!

Yes, you guessed it. Another tournament and another hand where I busted out...

I am on the big blind with 10, 7. The small blind is the only player to call.

Flop - A 7 3, check from the SB and I bet 1000... he calls.

Turn - 4, Check from the big blind again... I bet 1500, he raises to put me all in. I call...

He shows AQ...

River - 2...

I should have smelled the slow play but I didn't.

Thats about 6 tournaments in a row now!

Good game

1st to bust out in a tournament!

I don't know what it is, but my tournament game has been hitting it's lows. Getting out flopped, out drawn and just consistently outplayed! Yup, poker is fun. Lucky it's just a hobby!

I played a game with somewhat a tight table and I am the 1st one to bust out!

Here's the hand...

Standard pre-flop betting...

Flop - A, J, 8 = I check and I got somebody betting 3x the pot. I call with (A,K)

Turn - 4 = I check - bet is 1/3 the pot... and I check raise... I get re-raised and I move all in...

Show down... MY AK and his AJ!

River - 7 - I bust out.

Good game.

Me playing loose...

Went to my normal Monday night game last night and man I busted quick!

It was the normal tournament scene with 30 players...

My final hand for the tournament:

I get pocket 10's... one raiser... I call.

Flop A, Q, J - I go all in... and get called by KQ...

Turn 4

River 2 - I bust out...

Some hands I saw...

Standard pre-flop raises...

Flop - 10, 8, 2 = one person goes all in... and gets called!

The caller shows pocket 7's. The person who went all in shows 9, 10 top pair.

Turn - 4

River - 7... man...

Another hand...

No pre-flop raising and everyone calls...

Flop - A, 6, 3 - one person bets and 2 callers...

Turn - 7 - the raiser goes all in... one person calls

Showdown - AK vs A2 (went all in)

River - 10

Here's a funny one...

5 players call the big blind...

Flop - 3, 6, 8 - Bet 200 with one caller

Turn - 10 - check...

River - 2 - Bet 400 and one raised to 800... he thinks about it for about 3 minutes and calls...

Showdown - 5, 4 vs 8, J!

No raises. Nice friendly game!

Flop 6, 6, 4 - Bet 400 and one caller

Turn 6 - Check, then a 500 bet... after about a minute of thinking... call

River 8 - Check, then a 1000 bet... the person who checked said i have a full house and thinks about it for about 5 minutes... then calls.

One had full 6/4 and the other had quad 6's!

I need to work on my game!

Good game players.
