Monday night homegame + more

Balance : $1391

The Monday nite homegame kicked off with 10 players and a prize fund of $560.

I got trash for the first rebuy session.  Utter trash.  I’d made a few calls for value (as 3-4 others hands had called) and that dented my chip stack to about 800 (from 1500).  Everyone limped and I was on the BB.  I shoved all in.  Good time to go.  Problem was Shugster had limped with QQ and I had 52.

I rebuy later, I had been dealt 72s again.  This time I called the blind 40 and a 210 raise PF, 4-way.  It’s loose I know, but I had to do it.

Flop 896.

D pushes all in on the flop.  I figure him for an overpair.  But I can outdraw him.  In fact he shows AJo and I hit a 7 on the turn to take the hand.

Nothing else much happened – I constantly got trash like A7, AJ (utg, limped, missed flop folded) and no pocket pairs…until I had 44.  Ross limps in the CO, Bob limps, I have to shove. 

Ross : KQs (38%)
Bob : A5 (30%)
Me : 44 (30%)

Of course the flop comes Q75.  Both players outdraw me.  River brings a 5 and Bob takes a big pot.  He earlier laid down 33 to a PF raise and he would have hit quads.  So he’s not the smartest of players, I would have folded my A5.

Not had much luck online.  Did a few thousand hands and ended up -$200+.  So I’ve shifted down to NL50 where it’s a bit softer and I now have 28 buyins.

Got $50 free at Bodog, spun it up to $150 then donked it.  The players are bad at Bodog, but I just don’t trust the software.  I think it’s well known that Bodog has a ‘mafia’ influence behind it and I’ve found it to be pretty unfair in the past.

Did the 50+5 / 17.5K gted online.  Grinded and had to go all in in the CO with JJ.  Was faced by A9 and 10/10.  10/10 made a straight by the river.  Ugh.

I must say I’m running kinda bad right now.
