Quick Update

I'm still playing cash games right now. I'm trying to get away from strictly playing sit and go's and tourneys. So I've been multi-tabling cash games. It's been good and bad so far. I had a little period tonight where I ran into some very LAGGY players that were hitting their draws. In one hand, I had AK off on the button, with three limpers. I raise it up to eliminate some of the limpers. The UTG limper calls, and the flop comes A-6-6 with two clubs. He checks, and I bet a little under the pot. I did that because if he has an ace, he is a big dog, but if he has a flush draw, he is making a mistake to call. Sure enough, he calls. So I put him on a flush draw, maybe a weak ace. The turn brings an offsuit 8. He checks again, so I bet damn near the pot again. He calls again. The river brought the flush and he pushes for $10, into a pot of $65. I couldn't see folding in this spot. I called and he tabled K7 of clubs. It went that way for about an hour. People would chase and get there. So I dropped about two buy-ins during this period.

Later, I went on a pretty good heater and won it all back plus some. I had AA hold up against a straight and flush draw, all-in on the flop. I also won with some well timed bluffs and value bets. So all was going well and I just kept adding to my stack. There was a couple of funny hands, where I had pocket pairs over the board and two different opponents shoved with just ace high and no draws. One hand I had 10's, and got it all in on the turn on an 8 high board. There were three clubs, and I had the 10 of clubs. We got it all in and he flips A10 off, no club. The same kind of situation came up on another table and he showed AQ off. No ace, no queen, no draw. He had 4 outs and thankfully didn't hit.

So I'll just have to keep rolling.
