Shakin off the dust

Saturday Jan. 26, 08

I bought in for $140 so it's time to play…….

The cards were few and small for the most of the day. I had KK utg and I raise to $15 and have 3 caller. The flop came 3 7 K. BINGO! I check and the villain with the big stacks said, "ALL IN". I almost broke my arm getting my chips in the middle. He flip over QQ, I love it when someone missed a read.

Hand 2 was I had Q9 and the same guy raise to $12 so I called and the flop 3 Q 9. I lead out with $15 and he said again, " ALL IN". I waited this time to think for a quick second and it was quick and I called. He flips over AQ so I held up to win this one too. I'm 2 and the villain 0.

Round 3 – ding, ding! The same villain is just eyeing me and wanting to push me around. I looked down and saw KK again. " How about dem COWBOYS"! I made it $20 to go know, it came around to the same guy and he quickly called. Flop 8 9 8. I bet $25 and the villain reraise me to $75 and push all in, he called and flip over 109. K turn and River 4. I boated up and was much happy.

I did donkey off a few more chips but I decided to get up and walk away. I learn that lesson last year, the hard way. Grade B-; $400

Intro

Well, I have been playing poker for about 3 or 4 years now. I even won a seat to the WSOP 06 but I took the money and ran. I haven't really taken it seriously until last year, when I tried to play part-time. It started off really good but I ended up really bad. I played some bad hands instead of patiently playing and took some BAD beats. I tried to make some moves when I should have just folded and made horrible bluff. I also didn't leave when the flow was good and pissed a lot of my winnings away. I hope this year, that I learned from my mistakes and go forward with a winning year. I won a lot last year but I could have won more. I'm coming back after about 6 or 7 months off and start trying to live at the casino. I really not a player to play online but I will give that a shot too. I hope that this adventure will be fun and exciting one.
