an interesting day

I started today by 4 tabling FT playing short handed 5-10 and getting crushed. Everything lost, and lost, and lost. just one of those things. I made a full house with 76o on a 76436 board, and lost to 77. Yeah, that was ugly. I was down 700 in a flash. also, my internet kept dying on me, so that didn't help either.

but then I fired up PS and elected to play some full ring 10/20... just one table... three interesting and great hands here:

OK, so while I put the 4 bettor on a hand that had me beat, I still had to go with it on the flop. Then I can't fold the turn even though I am sure at least one of these guys has a flush. I have to call the river either way, but I'm really looking for one of my ten outs to the top full house (or quads).

what could the other guy (who bet/ folds the river) have? flush? aces? He can't fold anything there. maybe he had an underpair that got counterfeited? That's the only hand I can think of that should be played that way.

I was pretty damn sure I was ahead the whole way here, but that bet out on the turn confused me. I though the guy had QJ, and I was still winning, but with the other guy calling, the possible st8, and the board paired, I just called. Luckily, I got 2 calls on the river.

This was probably the easiest hand, though I thought I was probably losing until he checked the river. We were heads up... I had Kings... that was that.

Anyway. with the run I made at PS, I ended up making about 200 bucks in the session, so that was nice, especially since I was down 700 early. Yay kings!
