Boy, was it nice to see football on again last night even if my hated Steelers somehow pulled it out in overtime. I bet Rob Bironas isn't feeling to well today. Darn kickers!!!!
I've now had 3 losing sessions in a row now on Full Tilt. While none of them were bad losing sessions, it still messes with you. I really just need to stick to the plan of how I play and hopefully things will work out.
I have two hands today. One fairly standard; but another river decision and one hand that started good; but kept on getting worse and worse.
Hand #1
Villain is a 25/2/1.2 over 260 hands

BB: $78.65
UTG: $33.00
UTG+1: $52.05
MP1: $57.25
MP2: $63.20
CO: $18.50
BTN: $25.45
Hero (SB): $50.00
Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero is SB with Kc Ac
3 folds, MP2 raises to $1.50, CO calls $1.50, BTN calls $1.50, Hero calls $1.25, 1 fold
Suspect call (as opposed to raising); but multi way, I just wanted to see a flop first. I believe this is wrong; but I'm OK with it.
Flop: ($6.50) Tc Jh 5c (4 players)
Hero checks, MP2 bets $1.50, CO calls $1.50, BTN folds, Hero raises to $7, MP2 calls $5.50, CO folds
Love the flop and now will show strength. I suppose I could have / should have led out.
Turn: ($22.00) 8s (2 players)
Hero bets $16, MP2 raises to $54.70 all in, Hero ??
OOps... standard call at this point, right?
Hand #2
This is a little more tricky.
Villain is 24/13/1.0 over 50 hands

CO: $198.95
BTN: $108.50
SB: $112.80
BB: $108.90
UTG: $103.00
UTG+1: $66.45
Hero (MP1): $100.00
MP2: $100.65
Pre Flop: ($1.50) Hero is MP1 with 7c 7h
2 folds, Hero raises to $3.50, 1 fold, CO calls $3.50, 1 fold, SB calls $3, 1 fold
Flop: ($11.50) 2s 2d 7s (3 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, CO bets $7, SB raises to $18, Hero calls $18, CO folds
Sure I could lead out; but with a monster, I'm playing this one a little slower to perhaps let someone get a flush. With people showing strength, I don't think I need to re-raise which would definitely polarize my range; but might get some big overpairs to call. Thoughts?
Turn: ($54.50) 2c (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks
AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! This is where I had a non thinking moment. I have to lead out here, I think.
River: ($54.50) Ac (2 players)
SB checks, Hero ???
In retrospect, I see my mistake on this hand. Thoughts?
Have a nice day!!!
Why all the shootings?

Hand 1: Hate the pre-flop play. I raise it up to about $12-$14 here and try to get it in on the flop. As played, I prefer leading the flop and shoving the turn though c/r all-in on the flop is good too. On the turn, you're not really getting odds against Villain's range but I'm assuming you were going to call a shove since your $16 turn bet put about 50% of your stack into the pot.
Hand 2: Don't mind the check. You've got the board crushed. When SB bets, I tend to min-raise and shove the turn (assuming SB doesn't shove the flop which he probably will). As played, bet the turn.
River changes nothing - you've got this board locked down unless Villain happens to be holding AA which is quite unlikely. Unfortunately, Villain will have missed his draws which is why a bet on the turn is good).
I don't think you're getting paid off on the river. Villain is pretty passive so I don't think you can make a weak river bet and hope to get bluff c/r (river c/r are pretty rare, in any case).
I'd shove and pray to get called.
none of them were bad losing sessions,
That's the ticket in NL. Lose a little, but win big.
Hand #1: I called. He had a set of tens; but I hit my flush on the river. Got my chips in as 22% dog.
Hand #2: I just played that bad and didn't realize I had the good side of the full house barring pocket aces. I check behind and he showed pocket 7s. Dang! Just bad on my part.
