5/20: A Belated 6/12 Session

So, after a bunch of procrastinating I am finally getting around to posting a blog about my last session.

Last Wednesday (5/20) I met the Superdonk and Nik down at Cap for some 6/12 action. After donking it up at 4/8 and losing about $40, I was called and took the 6 seat to the right of the Superdonk.

I ran pretty cold for the most part and got involved with some hands that I shouldn’t have been in. One being where I raised w/ A6 of diamonds after a couple limper including an off shift dealer who limp re-raised from UTG. It was elected not to peel on an all black board that came J93 (2 spades) but what ever. I also whiffed some over cards before my move to Seat 1 on the right of Nik, uggg. Weeeeee, 2 TAGs right next to each other.

Things started to look up, at least in card quality. I had KK 2x, and QQ once, none were able to hold on a drawy boards and ones that had over cards.

I did have a couple notable hands after that. The first being in a pot where it was limped in 3 spots and I limped on the button w/ KJos, which I probably should have raised but w/e. Nik was in the SB and raised it up, the BB and everyone else called. Short story was that I flopped broadway and Nik flopped a Set of Aces. He didn’t pair and I took a nice sized pot. He was also pissed I didn’t raise preflop 

The next hand of note was where I raised red 7’s after 2 limpers and gained position, and had only the BB along with the other limpers call. The flop came Q63 and it was checked to me, and I bet called by Bill, a loose player who typically called with ATC and another person. Turn was an offsuit Ace both the caller and Bill checked to me, and I bet again. I am probably behind but I am planning on getting to show this hand down. The river paired the 6 and Bill checked and I checked behind and showed 77 to win; Fwiw Bill mucked JTos.

I won another hand where QQ held on a drawy heavy paired board, and a hand where I rivered a set of 5’s vs. some chick’s top pair and busted flushed draw. She had been your typical station calling my raises w/ crap. In that hand I opened 55 in MP and bet the flop, checked the turn where she didn’t bet and I would have insta-mucked, obv. And then I donked the river where she looked me up with top pair.

And my most crusher hand of the session was in a kill with JJ. Against the UTG guy who looked a lot like Johnny Chan and had opened to $24, I was UTG+1 and 3-Bet to $36. All folded back to him, and he capped it. Flop came Ten-High he checked, I bet. I knew at this point I was probably way behind to QQ-AA. Usually these guys donk go crazy in kill pots without QQ-AA. So, when a 6 hit the turn, I just planned to check and call a river bet. I checked the turn, and you know what, a jack hit the river. So I obv, bet the river. UTG begrudgingly called and said if I hit my Jack I was good. He mucked KK.

That was pretty much it. I came up $70 after the loss at 4/8 and the downswing during the first part of my session at 6/12; it feels good to put one in the win column after the last 2 sessions.

Hopefully I will be putting some major sessions next week as I will be put on stand by here at work, wooooot and boooo at the same time.

Vegas is little under 2 weeks away!!! Gogogogogo.
