Short but Sweet
I was in a bad mood last night. I wanted to play poker, but real life conspired against me for most of the evening and I couldn't get to the tables until after 9:30 p.m. As I have to get up at 5:00 a.m., this didn't leave me much time if I wanted to sleep - which I did. I was tired from a long day.
There was nothing going on at VIP Poker, so I checked Pacific. Nothing much there, either. I have a small amount on deposit at Ultimate Bet, so I decided to play some NL there. I have had a hankering for some NL lately. Pulled up a .5/1 NL table and waited.
First hand on the BB I drew pocket 88. C/O, who looked LAG during the few hands I watched while waiting on the blind raised first in to $2.50. I called and flopped top set. He bet the pot into me, and I made way too large a raise back at him by also betting the pot. There were two spades on the flop and I didn't want to make it too easy for him to get a lucky draw. He folded, and I took down a small pot.
Second orbit I had 77 UTG. I limped and called a small raise. Flop came 863 rainbow. I check-called the pot size bet. Turn was a magic 7. I checked and villain overbet the pot. I re-raised all-in and he called. He really loved those queens, but he doubled me up there.
Tired, but satisfied, I went to bed.
