Take that fishes!

Got in about an hour last night where I could only find a couple decent games running at $2/4 and also played a couple tables at the same time on William Hill at $1/2 to get closer to finishing my $50 time bonus for the month there.

William Hill was a little odd - on the tighter table which only had one fish and a bunch of tags, I cleaned up making a good 40BBs, whilst on the looser fishy table, I was getting taken to the cleaners, and dropped around 30BBs.

However, on the $2/4 tables it was another story. Again I had good position on the fish, and I actually hit a few draws, and the suckouts from the fish were actually quite limited. All in all made around 20BBs in the hour which isnt too bad.

A few hands from the session:

Hand 1:

** Dealing card to Hero: Q of h, 4 of c (trash!!)

karenexit folded
WM__GBG called - $2.00 (hehe i'm not going to be raised out)

Hero bet - $2.00 (not risking this being checked through)

WM__GBG folded
Hero raised - $6.00 (lets see where I stand)
slaktis72 called - $6.00 (calling 2 bets? hmm at least a pair)
katumba called - $6.00 (no reraise .. i'm more confident i'm in front now)
** Dealing the turn: 4 of h (a nice miracle card for me)
Hero bet - $4.00 (lets see if i am in front - surely he doesn't have 44 so i'm betting hard)

** Dealing the river: 6 of d
Hero bet - $4.00
katumba called - $4.00

** Dealing the flop: 6 of c, Q of d, J of s (awesome!! - can't see what i'm behind to now with the 3 bet unless QQ or JJ)
Kyroka bet - $2.00 (i'd cbet in his position too)
Hero raised - $4.00 (lets find out if i'm ahead - also I want anyone on a draw to pay, and i'd really prefer to win the pot right here)
slaktis72 folded (good)
karenexit folded (even better)
Kyroka called - $4.00 (can live with this)
** Dealing the turn: 10 of d
Kyroka checked (well i guess that takes out AK and probably TT .. although i'd be a little sick if he checkraises here, and that's probably what i'd do in his position. He might be on AA,KK, AQ, AJs?)
Hero bet - $4.00 (gotta value bet ... please dont checkraise)
Kyroka called - $4.00 (Sweet)
** Dealing the river: 7 of c

Kyroka mucks: A of d, Q of c (woulda been hard to get away from for me too)

Hand 3

** I Need You [Hold 'em] (2.00/4.00 Fixed - $ Cash Game) Real Money
- WM__GBG sitting in seat 1 with $0.00 [Sitting out]
- Hero sitting in seat 2 with $105.35 [Dealer]
- slaktis72 sitting in seat 3 with $358.89
- karenexit sitting in seat 5 with $266.68
- Fantomen1 sitting in seat 6 with $30.20
slaktis72 posted the small blind - $1.00
karenexit posted the big blind - $2.00
** Dealing card to Hero: K of c, J of c (nice)
Fantomen1 called - $2.00 (must punish limpers ...)
Hero raised - $4.00 (Try to get this heads up)
slaktis72 folded
karenexit called - $4.00 (annoying)
Fantomen1 called - $4.00
** Dealing the flop: Q of d, J of h, 3 of h (hmm not the best of flops. wrong suit and I could be behind a Q)
karenexit checked
Fantomen1 checked
Hero bet - $2.00 (gotta cbet with the 2 checks, although a checkraise wouldnt be good, but at least I 'd know where I stood)
karenexit folded
Fantomen1 called - $2.00
** Dealing the turn: K of d (nice, although the board is now two suited)
Fantomen1 checked
Hero bet - $4.00 (would like to win the pot right here really)
Fantomen1 raised - $8.00 (weird reraise here .. surely he would have raised QQ preflop. I guess he could have had 33, but then he'd raise the flop with a flushdraw there. More likely I think his open limp preflop to me means he's on a draw, and most likely a diamond draw as he probably would have bet the heart draw on the flop. Can't really discount KQ either though, or AT)
Hero raised - $12.00 (lets find out how i'm sitting)
Fantomen1 called - $12.00 (hmmm ... I may be in front here)
** Dealing the river: 10 of h (well that card really really sux .. hits the flush draw and an A makes a straight)
Fantomen1 checked (interesting ... wonder if he's going for the check raise?)
Hero checked (i'm thinking this is one where if i bet i'm only getting called by a better hand, so its probably safer to check behind. I'd hate to have to call a reraise here when a reraise basically means i'm beat).
Fantomen1 shows: Q of c, J of d (nice one ... guess he shouldnt have limped in with that)
Hero shows: K of c, J of c
Hero wins $38.95 from the main pot
