January Report
The month of January was a good one up $935 in live play (edited on 1/31, just won $120). Last night I took my first hit of the year over in an Odenton home game when I decided to kill a few hours before bar hopping in Federal Hill. I sat down around 7pm and I received a run of good hands but inevitably luck overcame good play and I was stuck -$300 in three hours. Here is the two big hands that set me back for the night.
UTG live straddles for $4, called in a few spots, JesseY raises it to $11, I am in SB with JJ I grab a stack of red and splash it out on the felt ($50), folds to JesseY who thinks about it and finally calls. I know he is not calling with a real hand but is going to attempt to out-play me.
Flop: 976 (two hearts)
I think for awhile, put on a little show acting is if I just have high-cards but I want him to go away and I bet $100. He insta-pushes all-in $215, $115 more to call. I think about it am positive he does not have my JJ beat and then he shows a few signs of weakness and I call. I was right he shows 75 (Pair and a gut-shot). Pot: $500+
Turn: 9 (which I welcome, giving me two-pair)
River: 7
What can you do, I made the correct call with my Jacks knowing he was making a move but luck wins the hand.
Another hand flop comes AQ7 (two diamonds) and I have AQ, I bet $40 into a $60 pot. Devo calls with something like 43 diamonds, turn is a 5. I bet $100 he calls again, river is a diamond check-check. I lose to his flush.
I'm not a big fan of telling bad-beats because we all get them but it sucked taking my first lose of the new year to not poor-calls/bad-play, but poor luck. I stay to my word (to not grind it out and to have some fun tonight) and cash out around 10pm to go bar hopping. Federal Hill was a good time and after a few beers I washed off the -$300 lose and focused more on the $815 win for the month. 10k here we come!

If it makes you feel better I caught Jessey and Devo both in a 1200 dollar pot where they were both drawing dead that night!
You are my HERO! Who are you?

Doug the guy sitting next to you.
It was later on in the night and they had just started playing again after a pizza break. I was still on the computer involved in a hand so I told them to blind raise to 6 for me. They said it got reraised and was 8 more to call so I said sure before I even got to the table. I had Ac 2x lol.
The flop was 2c 7c 9c. I checked Devo bet 40 Scooter raised to 150 Jessey called, I was getting 4-1, but decided I'd rather get Devo out to possibly give me an ace as an out as well so I pushed for 300.
They all called. Scooter had top set with 99, Jessey had top 2 with 97, and Devo had Kc Qx.
A club came on the turn and another on the river and I took down the biggest pot of the night. Around 1200 before tip.
Congrats on the win Doug and the large pot. Were you the guy I folded K5 top-two-pair and you showed a K later to say it was KQ or the guy two to my left from New Orleans. Just trying to put a face with a name for the future.
Congrats once again. That was a good table with some good action, I would have stayed but was not in the mood for grinding.
Good Job,
