Rolling up to $50 NLHE
Decided to roll some of the recent winnings in to at least one shot at the $50 NL HE tables. First hand I flop trip jacks and improve to quads on the turn. Third hand I flop trip fives. Unfortunately, i wasn't actually playing either of these hands, as I would have easily doubled up on the first one (player in front with QQ moved in on the flop).
However, I did turn pocket sevens into trips on a subsequent flop, and improved to a full house to drag my first win at the $50 level. Thirty hands in, I had AA and KK stand up, both dragging decent pots, and was sitting up to almost $70 about 15 minutes in. Won another good-sized pot when I raised to 2xBB one-off the button holding 55 when no one had opened, was called by the button plus both blinds, the flop came AA5 - someone bet out, I re-raised big and took down a nice pot. Probably could have slowplayed more, but I really hoped the raiser had an ace and would re-raise me all-in right there.
A few hands later, caught pocket aces for the second time and someone re-raised me all-in holding top pair when the flop came nine-high. Hand history posted as Comment #1. I'm now up over $100, with about 30 minutes of play.
45-minutes in, doubled up off the table's chipleader by slowrolling the nut flush. Hand history posted as Comment #2, now up over $175. Gave about $25 back a few hands later, when top pair weak kicker plus a flopped four-flush to the king didn't improve and got outkicked when it was checked down on the river.
2.5 hours in and the table has turned considerably. No decent cards in at least the last hour (ATo and A7s were by far the two biggest hands dealt my way) and its mostly click&fold while catching up on poker blogs. Elected to finish out one more rotation and call it a night - up $50, more than 100BB.
Speaking of blogs, added a couple new (to me) poker blogs to the list tonight - The Obituarium and Human Head. Both excellent reads.
