Paulee,
Im not sure what day you mean by "today". Ill was at MGM all day Friday and will probably play there during the day on Sat and then I think Im going to meet Kenny at TI Sat night.
Yesterday (Friday) was all about the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. When I sat down in the morning there were 4 stacks over $3000. It was action city. A few hours later I had $2000 in front of me. Later, the table was super weak and I couldve run over it if I couldve just gotten any hands. I just never hit anything and the hands I did hit back fired on me. I left up $16
First the good.
#1) 5 limpers and I have
![The Ace of Hearts [Ah]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/Ah.gif)
[8h] in the BB.
Pot $30. Flop
![The Ace of Diamonds [Ad]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/Ad.gif)
[8c][8d]. I check and it checks around.
Turn
![The Four of Spades [4s]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/4s.gif)
. I bet $20. A very good LAG calls. Next guy makes it $60. I reraise to $160. LAG folds and the other guy calls.
River is some brick and I shove $300ish in. He calls. He had an 8.
#2) I raise $20 UTG with
![The Ace of Hearts [Ah]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/Ah.gif)
[Kh]. I get 4 callers.
Pot $100. Flop
![The Queen of Hearts [Qh]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/Qh.gif)
[Th][4h]. The table is very aggressive. Someone is going to bet so I check. It checks around.
Turn
![The Ace of Diamonds [Ad]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/Ad.gif)
. Someone has to have an ace. I bet $60. I get 1 caller.
River
![The Five of Clubs [5c]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/5c.gif)
. I bet $150 an someone calls me and mucks.
#3) I raise to $25 with
![The Ace of Hearts [Ah]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/Ah.gif)
[Jh]. The SB calls and then the BB shoves all in for $125. This is his 2nd hand at the table. The first hand he lost the other $375 he started with. Hes an obvious 2+2er and is a donk. If I flat call, the SB is going to call me and we are both deep so I reraise another $100 and the SB folds A9.
Dealers deals the board out....the highest card was a T and there were 2 of them. It was something like T837T. I tell the guy "I think you win" and I flip my cards up. He mucks.
#4) I raise to $20 UTG with
![The Ace of Clubs [Ac]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/Ac.gif)
[Kc]. 3 callers.
Pot $80. Flop

[Ks][2c]. I bet $60. 1 call.
Pot $200. Turn
![The King of Hearts [Kh]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/Kh.gif)
. I think he has the flush draw so I check. He checks behind.
Pot $200. River
![The Four of Spades [4s]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/4s.gif)
. I bet $200. He calls me with 22
#5) Couple limpers and I limp 88. 2+2 donk who thinks hes a good LAG raises to $35. 1 call and then I call.
Pot $120. Flop
![The Ace of Hearts [Ah]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/Ah.gif)
[8d][9c]. EP leads $95. I call. 2+2er calls.
Pot $405. Turn
![The Four of Diamonds [4d]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/4d.gif)
. Now EP moron checks his last $45. 2+2er is very aggressive and might bet, but I actually put him on T9 so I bet $270. He folded and EP calls his last $45. He had A6.
#6) Theres a straddle. I raise to $30 with
![The Ace of Spades [As]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/As.gif)
[3s] in the cutoff. BB and the straddler call.
Pot $100ish. Flop

[Qd][4d]. They check and I bet $100. BB calls.
Pot $300. Turn
![The Queen of Hearts [Qh]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/Qh.gif)
. He checks and I shove. He had about $300 left.

. He had
![The Ace of Diamonds [Ad]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/Ad.gif)
[Td] and I got saved by the river.
OK...the bad....
#1) UTG (the guy with 22 earlier on the AK2 flop) limps. LP raises to $20. I call in the BB with
![The Jack of Diamonds [Jd]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/Jd.gif)
[Td]. Im now sitting with $2000 and cover the table. UTG calls also.
Pot $60. Flop
![The Five of Diamonds [5d]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/5d.gif)
[6d][7d]. I check, UTG checks, Cutoff bets $40. I check raise to $140. UTG cold calls me and cutoff folds.
Pot $380. Turn is a brick. UTG has $300 left so I push. He has
![The Eight of Diamonds [8d]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/8d.gif)
[7d]

%&*#(%*&#(&^ DH**R(

![The King of Diamonds [Kd]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/Kd.gif)
UGH. I check and he checks behind.
Pot $165. River is a brick. I check. He thinks and shoves $300 all in. I seriously consider calling. The guy is pretty tight though. I expose my cards to get his reaction and I get nothing. I muck and he shows the
![The Eight of Diamonds [8d]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/8d.gif)
and later says he had the nut flush.
#4) Guy raises to $15. Its folded to me in the BB and I have KK. He has like $100 left so I put him in. He calls with A3s and hits an ace.
#5) I limp AT after another limper.
Pot $20. Flop T62. I bet $20 and get called.
Turn 8. I bet $40 and the guy shoves. Its $100 to me. I call and he has T8.

. I actually think Im ahead here so I make a $100 value / blocking bet. He calls with
![The Jack of Diamonds [Jd]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/Jd.gif)
[7d]. I think this is the only hand I misplayed all day. WHY DIDNT I RERAISE PREFLOP? ^#$*^$)(*Q^$^&(*&$%*(.
I played 15 hours
