Lots Of Action

So I came into the day only wanting to play premium hands...  maybe only play twelve hands all day.

I played twelve in the opening round. 

I kicked things off with a min raise one off the button with A2 suited...  which I promptly folded after the turn.

I called a preflop raise with A10 off in good position,  but folded after I missed the flop.

I raised with tens under the gun,  but didn't get any callers.

I limped with K5 off in the small blind and won my first pot against the big blind when my five hit.

I reraised with big slick and took the pot preflop. 

I played eights under the gun and had to fold.

Tens from the big blind and had to fold.

I played sixes from good position and took it down after a weak flop.

Sevens got me a little pot after a bad flop.

Lost after calling a preflop raise with AJ off and not hitting the flop.

Then came the big hands...

Aces.  I raised and got big blind to call.  Flop has two diamonds and an ace...  flopped a set of aces. He checked,  I checked.  Turn was a third diamond...  uh  oh.  He checks,  I bet two thirds the pot, he calls.  River pairs the board, I have an aces full boat.  He checks,  I bet the pot,  he calls with the case ace. It was a great hand and win,  but I only got 2200 chips with my glorious hand.

With about ten minutes left,  I got kings and three callers.  Flop comes A, 10, 7... an ace,  of course.  I'm outraged at my poor luck.  Out of anger and spite,  I bet the flop anyway...  two callers.  Of course multiple callers out of four players. My first and only bad move.  I check the turn that wasn't a king,  next guy bets,  next guy raises,  and I threw my cards down in disgust.  River was a seven and the winning hand on a HUGE pot was quad sevens...  that guy flopped a set and rivered  four of a kind.  The ace saved me.  SAVED... I would have dumped chips without that ace.

So 31,350 at first break...  I wish I had more after seven pocket pairs,  aces,  kings,  big slick,  and an aces full boat,  but hey,  I'm still alive. 

Table is ok,  guy to my left won't last,  he plays a ton of hands... but it's annoying having him to my left.  Nobody famous,  although it looks like one guy from is being sponsored by pokerstars...

Back to round two...
