My Journey As A Professional Poker Player (18 Viewers)

Some action players in the game, but can't get much going yet

Calling raises to between $50-70 and whiffing multiway so just bleeding bit by bit

Game much better than the previous table, just need a hand, couple of these guys willing to stack off super light
 
We pickup :as::ah::8h::2d: in the SB facing a button straddle to 20, we call

BB is on tilt, he's rebought multiple times and been stacked by the same guy. He's been doing headsup 1k flips a few times also

He pots to 90, two callers, I repot to 470 with about 1k behind

He is the only caller

Flop :js::7c::6s:

Not ideal but with the SPR and us blocking the NFD we rip it

He calls and we go twice

We hold against his KKJ4 on both boards and get the full double

We were down $1100 in this game (so $300 overall) but this turned it around

Glad to see Rick Rolling is still effective
 
Managed +$1300 on the day. When a lot of folks work their asses off to make that in two weeks I feel pretty fortunate to be able to earn that in a single day.

Playing in bigger games with bigger buyins reminds me of this scene as I had to deal with the ramped up aggression

It's ok to lose to opponent, must not lose to fear!

 
Ooch, we flop top two pair plus straight draw on a 974 flop and get it in vs a guy with QJ97 and another with 44xx who runs once

The set holds and he triples through us, the other guy makes a better 2 pr to win side pot

Stuck $800 atm
 
Limp called a raise with KKQx and folded to big bet on T33 flop by tight player, he shows KJT9

Then on another hand we make two pair plus non nut flush, get bluffed off by a guy holding AAAA lol
 
Jeesh. 2nd buyin we limp in and call a raise to $60 with :kd::qc::td::7c: on the button

Six ways to a flop of :js::9d::8s:

Checked to me, I bet pot of $360. Action player in MP checkraises, we get it in. He goes once and has

:qh::ts::6s::6h:

Turn :3h:
River :3s:

Le sigh, stuck 2k :(
 
It's straddled to $20 from MP and HJ next raises to $75

We fold :ks::kc::6h::2h: on the button. Action turns into $380 preflop!

One guy has AAxc, whew
 
Ooch, we see a flop of :jd::td::7d: holding :ad::2d:xx after limping and calling a juicer raise to 25 pre

3 ways checked around

Turn :8s:

Checked to me, I fire 75, one caller

River :th:

I check, opponent bets pot of 225, I sigh-call and he has JJxx :(
 
Geesh. We were away from table, missed blind.

We straddle to 20 to get back in. Multiple callers, I check with :ad::kc::qc::6c:

Flop :qh::8c::4c:

LAG in SB bets 15, two callers, I pot to 175

Guy on my left who got me with JJxx earlier raises to 500. I'm all-in for $390 and we go twice

First board: :8d::as:
Second board: :qs::9h:

I'm expecting I might scoop and turn over my hand. He says "no good" and flips over :6h::4s::4h::3h: lol

Down $2500 on the day, universe is telling me to go home, not going to lose every dollar in my pocket today

Tomorrow is another day
 
Well, there is a silver lining on the dark cloud that was today. I only lost a single buyin in the 5/5/10 game. And the two guys that benefitted from it were in there with 44xx and playing for stacks with bottom set. So in the long run they're going to give it back, glad if I had to lose to anyone they were the receipients.
