1/2 at Kilgus'

Went to Kilgus' last night, played 1/2, bought in for $100 and played 4 and 5 handed for the first 40 minutes, one hand i had 6Tspades and the flop came 3s 6c 8s and kilgus had top pair. He bet like 10 and I called, the turn was a spade and he moved all in over my raise and I busted him for the first time.
After that I dont remember much, lately its been autodrive, I cant really recall every hand and every bet, Ill try harder next time, anyway, I cashed out $480 last night.

Tues. profit = +380

To recap, in 4 games since i decided to start a bankroll
Tuesday games = +400, -240, +380 = $540
Wednesday games = +$520
Total = +$1060

1/2 NL in Tville

played at nats the other night, caught a rough stretch of cards to start, first 40 hands or so the best hand I saw was KJo. anyway, bought in for $200, down to $30 when my luck turned around. In the cutoff, I have 67o. Folded around to me, so I decided to take a stab at the pot and steal the blinds, I bet $15, the big blind goes all in after it was folded to him, he went all in for $29, I call, and he has AA. Board came 3 8 T 4 9. From then on I just kept hitting cards. Picked up KK twice in three hands, and won those both. alot of stuff I dont remember because it was just a rush of hands and money so quick. Ended up with $720 in front of me and was able to pay off $200 in debt i had leaving me with $520 stack at the end of the night, all of which was profit. nice night, ive been playing pretty good and with some luck I have had a pretty good start to building a bankroll. If this pace continues, even if it slows a little, I should be able to go with kilgus to Turning Stone during spring break will a real bankroll, so that should be pretty cool hopefully I can play some 300 max, instead of the rockfest of tables at 100 max at Turning stone.

-$240 last night

1/2 NL

So I finally got to play a cash game last night, I cant tell you the town because I have no idea where it was, exit 11 off of 295 is all i could tell you. So, kind of far, but I hadnt played in awhile and I was itching to play. Kilgus had told me about it a couple of times before but I never felt like driving the distance, but finally after not being able to play for song long I decided to go. He told me the game was a good game, and I agree, the people there are all nice people, as far as the play, I would call it a little easier/looser game than Nat's Turnersville game.
I bought in for $100 and was 3rd in chips at a 5 handed table to start. I grinded out my stack taking some chips off of "johnny cash" after he called down with JT on a board of 7 9 J 9 3 and I had 69. At this point my stack was at around $150 when the following hand came up:
The game is now 7 handed, Kilgus is UTG and straddles for $4. I am immedietly behind kilgus and pick up AQd. I make it $15 to go. It is folded around to Kilgus who calls. the flop comes 4d 5d x. Kilgus checks and I bet $25(give or take 5 i cant remember) Kilgus takes a while and calls. The turn comes 4d 5d x Qc. Kilgus checks and I bet out $60 and he takes awhile and folds.

Now my stack is over $200 and the moneymaker of the night happened. I think it only went around once and we are in the same positions, Mucci is to my left Kilgus to my right and he has straddled for $4. I pick up Qd 9d. Kilgus makes a comment about me raising his straddle again, and Mucci says something along the lines of no dont do that, I call the $4 and Mucci makes it $15. Kilgus calls and since I have position on him and know I can outplay Mucci postflop to a point where his position doesnt matter I wasnt in bad shape and could get paid.
The flop comes 7d 8d Tc
Kilgus checks, I check, Mucci bets out $25. Kilgus calls $25 and I raise to $100. Mucci has $60-70 left and calls, and Kilgus calls/all in. It was weird how it happened because kilgus had $40 in cash in play but I had him covered in chips, but the $100 bet did not cover his entire stack, and he flipped his hand and said I have the nuts right now, and I said "call" anyway.

Before running the hand out lets take a step back. I still think that after seeing his cards I have to call. It is obvious Mucci has a set or QQ KK AA. at this point the pot is $45 preflop + $100 from me, $85 from mucci, and $100 from kilgus = $330. Kilgus had around $30-$40 more, and its obviously an easy call even knowing he has the nuts. The worst possible case scenario now after knowing Kilgus has Jc 9s is that Mucci has Tx Td. In that situation I am still 31% to win the pot and that is in the worst possible case scenario. What really happened in Mucci had AA. I win this hand 38% of the time. and that is obviously giving me correct odds to play it the way I did, and if I put Mucci on KK or AA which I did without a diamond, and even if I knew kilgus had J9, I am 43% to win, which is more than enough to make the play I did.

The turn was 7d 8d Tc 4d and I had it locked up. Im pretty sure the river gave Mucci trip aces but I am not sure it could have been an 8 too i forget. Either way I took down the $400 pot. grinded it out until 11pm and then left, up exactly $400 on the night.

Not my biggest cash ever, but definitly my biggest profit per hour played in a session (4 hours, $100 an hour).

Franks TOC isnt going to be for awhile but I should be playing in a cash game at least once a week now so expect updates soon.
