Fools rush in
I gave up early last night couldn't find a table I felt comfortable with, as in one where if I raise 5 x BB with AK I didn't get 5 callers. There was a lot of all-in with top pair on the flop regardless, which at times is great but when I wasn't hitting the hands made drawing impossible.
If I could get a player heads up with a weak ace great, but a I folded to an all-in with a caller, I had top pair and figured it beat players flip Q6 for top pair shit kicker and a gutshot draw, who then hit on the turn!!!

It's great when these players make such mistake, but sickening when they hit, and last night they kept hitting.

Turn Around
Well I was away over the weekend at a Music Festival so no poker until the 16th June 4 days off the green and on green grass in a field.
Looks like my bad beat is over, it started/ended with a great hand.
6 handed 5c/10c $10, people were calling most raises with poor hands, me I couldn't pick up higher than a 10 until I hit AA and made a silly pre-flop bet of 90c and got 2 callers, hmmm.
Flop A 5 9 two diamonds first to act bets the pot, second to act goes all-in (short stake) I call, first then re-raises all-in and I follow. So with this table I'm think AK or AQ and a flush draw?
Flips 55 and AQ hearts and I win a £35 pot woooo whooo, last week a 5 would have come.
Played hard against any one wanting to call my AK or AQs with rags
Stacked one loose player who if he hit the flop would not give up especially top pair any kicker, I loved the way it played out as I was right on the money putting him on a hand and predicting how he would play it out.
We ended heads up me AQ hearts flop was Q47 with 2 spades, I checked it and he pot bet, I thought straight away he has a Q as he had protected from flush draws often, so I flat called, turn blank, I check again, he 1/2 pot bets so I flat called, trying to look as if I'm chasing the flush draw, river is nothing.
Here I was tempted to bet, but I'm thinking if he does feel I've missed the flush and he has a Q he will bet, so I check he bets about 10th of the pot, at this point I have around $6 left I take my time and come up with this, busted flush draws will often go all-in versus weak bet or check hoping to scare you off, I very sure he has a Q and nothing else, so I push, he virtaully insta-calls me with QJ off and I scope a nice pot.

Bad Beats
Well I just cant win Bank Roll at $145 or so this seems to happen every so often - variance I guess, my play has for the most part been good, I'd say when my money has gone in I've been ahead 80% of time.
I got busted yesterday AA v 1010 me with the tens.
Everyone limps then a min raise, me next to act, I always fear the min raise as it's often people trying to get a raise out of you with AA. I have pocket 10 10 and call because it's cheap and I may hit a 10.
Flop 3 4 10 rainbow super, our min raiser bets the pot and I'm sure now it AA and will call so I push he calls and flips AA, 9-1 favourite at that point to win, turn blank river A ouch so harsh.
Played A5 hit 2 pair on the flop played it hard was called all the way by a loose player with A6 who rivers a 6.
I seem to be getting beat by player won just won either give up an ace overcard or hit the river to beat me.
Flopped two pair with KJ flop going KJ2 player calls me down with A2 hits the Ace on the river bang. Poor play probabley putting me on just a K or J and playing his overcard with 0 odds to call.
I'm playing all pocket pairs against these guys as if I hit trips they will bust every time, except I cant hit trips.
I've been playing my AK and AQ aggressivley pre-flop to chase away the rags but everyone wants to call me with A7 and A8 hitting the rag.
Bet 8 x BB with KK to a raiser who then pushed I called hoping not to see aces, J7 spades, he flops a flush, wow.
Only bit of good action in the last few days was took down a 3 way pot with quad 3's, called with 33 hit trips, bet hard, turn 3 clubs makes 3 clubs out 2 before me to act raise, I called, river another club super bet, all-in I push, fold A7 spades flipped - quads win.
I was getting really down about loosing, I'm playing well and getting beat all the time by junk or people making really crap calls and getting luck, the number of times my 2 pair have been counterfeited just isnt funny.
I was in the middle of a 3 way with AQ ace hits the flop A72 I was happy 1st to act makes a 2 x pot bet on the flop, I'd raised preflop and the pot was around $1.45 (was getting called all the time), I put him on 2 pair or trips protecting his hand, I folded and the next guy pushed, 1st calls they flip A3 and A9, wow. Top pair shit kickers, oh for trips in this spot. It's so hard early at a table to distinguish poor play from good play, blufffs from strength.
Up beat come my way please soon

Grinding Away
Been playing tight and aggressive and grinding away.
I've been using a light known and often forgotten tactic at 3c/6c and 5c/10c it's called the raise.
Not seen often at lower stakes, raising someone's standard button raise, I watch if the raise often, on he button and I have a premium hand or good drawing hand, no flat calling, re-raise, they always feel obliged to call and if the flop comes an A or K I bet out they fold. This nets me a lot of nice $2 / $3 pots with little effort.
Now I don't feel I'm a good heads up player, but re-raising to isolate one player and hitting them hard is different, at my stakes people want to see flops cheap versus lots of players min betting each street to see who win on the river.
Bank Roll $208.65

Down Down Down
Bad weekend, still feel I was playing fine, I just couldn't hit or got outdrawn alot.
Played KK met AA, played JJ met QQ then played QQ met KK
I'll play strong aces hard re-raised one opponent who calls with K10 off v my AK of hearts he hit the the 10. I kept raising my good hands AK, AQ etc and kept getting out draw by the people playing suited cards and hitting rags. I just couldn't connect with anything on the board, it was like if I had an ace somebody stole the other 3.
Lost $20 Double or Nothing got in all-in with KK was outdrawn to an ace by a caller with AQ suited harsh, so called it quits.
