Another great night.

So tonight went pretty well. I ended up a little more then 3 buy ins (im currently playing 25nl). I started the night off pretty poorly getting when someone hit a three outer. Oh, well it happens. cant ask for much more then getting your opponent in when your a 94% favorite.

Tonight I dont feel like I ran much better then normal, I was making calls that I dont think I would normally make but Im putting my reads to the test. I think I made a good call here when all I could beat was a bluff. It was a tough call to make when there where a lot of hands that he could have in the blinds and be calling my raise with (Ah7h, T8s etc). The way he played it though I put him on a flush draw on the turn. The turn bet really looked like he was trying to peel off a cheap card to try to hit, I really wanted to raise the turn, but I felt that he could easily raise me off my hand and I gave him enough respect to be able to make this play. Also, I wanted to play a small pot with this hand and call and decided I would re-evaluate the river. The river cards sucked almost as much as a diamond. Not only did it comeplete a four card striaght, but the second flush. His bet looked like he was trying to fold out a ten. I know that he knows I only call the turn with top pair, and felt like he could put me off it by betting enough (I almost starting to over think the hand and think that he knew i had a ten, and that I know that he knows my hands, and therefore if he bets trying to represent a missed flush draw, I would call with a weak hand like TP/NK, and he would gain more value out of the hand by stepping up his thinking. But then i realized im playing 25nl and I needed to stop thinking so much). If he would have hit I think he would have bet one of two amounts, either insta potted the river (as I've seen him do) or about 3.0-4.00 trying to get a call out of the ten that I had when I flipped my hand face up on the turn. I couldnt put him on the second flush draw unless he had a hand like Jh10h or something of that nature but Im sure he would have checkraised the flop with top pair. This hand was fun, I love this game!!!
