Play like crap and end up a big winner. Variance is so much fun! I really don't feel like I played well at all. I mean, I played decently well, probably a solid enough to beat the games, but I was making a number of really terrible calldowns and other bad decisions. I don't know why that happens.

Hand 1: Here's a perfectly good example of a bad river call.

Preflop: Hero is SB with Kd, As.
2 folds, CO raises, 1 fold, Hero 3-bets, BB caps, CO calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (12 SB) 8c, 4d, 8d (3 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, CO folds, Hero calls.

Turn: (7 BB) 5d (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, Hero calls.

River: (9 BB) 8h (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, Hero calls.

Results:
Hero has Kd As (three of a kind, eights).
BB has Td Th (full house, eights full of tens).

Hand 2: Duh.

Preflop: Hero is MP with Qh, As.
1 fold, Hero raises, CO calls, 2 folds, BB calls.

Flop: (6.50 SB) 2h, Kc, Tc (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, CO raises, BB folds, Hero calls.

Turn: (5.25 BB) 7s (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets, Hero calls.

River: (7.25 BB) 4d (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets, Hero calls.

Results:
Hero has Qh As (high card, ace).
CO has Kd 8d (one pair, kings).

Hand 3: This is just bad luck.

Preflop: Hero is Button with Qd, Qh.
1 fold, MP calls, CO raises, Hero 3-bets, 2 folds, MP calls, CO calls.

Flop: (10.50 SB) Td, 7h, 4h (3 players)
MP checks, CO checks, Button bets, MP folds, CO calls.

Turn: (6.25 BB) 5d (2 players)
CO checks, Button bets, CO calls.

River: (8.25 BB) Ks (2 players)
CO bets, Hero calls.

Results:
CO has Kh 5c (two pair, kings and fives).
Hero has Qd Qh (one pair, queens).

Hand 4: MUBS? Villain was known to be somewhat loose-passive, but I'm holding two of the flop cards, making sets very unlikely.

Preflop: Hero is CO with 9d, 8d.
2 folds, Hero raises, Button calls, 1 fold, BB calls.

Flop: (6.50 SB) 4c, 8s, 9h (3 players)

Turn: (4.75 BB) 3c (3 players)

BB checks, Hero bets, Button raises, BB folds, Hero calls.

River: (8.75 BB) 7h (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets, Hero calls.

Results:
Hero has 9d 8d (two pair, nines and eights).
Button has Th Tc (one pair, tens).

Hand 5: Here's another terrible hand. The coldcall was part of my trying to get involved with LAG MP, but I only beat a bluff after the turn completes the flush AND brings the big overcard. Plus, he actually had a hand this time.

Preflop: Hero is CO with 8d, 7d.
UTG calls, MP raises, Hero calls, 3 folds, UTG calls.

Flop: (7.50 SB) 4h, 8s, Ah (3 players)
UTG checks, MP bets, Hero raises, UTG folds, MP 3-bets, Hero calls.

Turn: (6.75 BB) Kh (2 players)
MP bets, Hero calls.

River: (8.75 BB) 5d (2 players)
MP bets, Hero calls.

Results:
MP has Ks Ac (two pair, aces and kings).
Hero has 8d 7d (one pair, eights).

Hand 6: Iso-raise against the LAG, but I freeze up postflop and lose the pot.

Preflop: Hero is Button with 8d, Ac.
1 fold, MP raises, Hero 3-bets, 2 folds, MP calls.

Flop: (7.50 SB) 4s, Qc, 7d (2 players)

MP checks, Hero checks.

Results:
MP has Ad 6c (one pair, sixes).
Hero has 8d Ac (high card, ace).

Hand 7: Preflop FPS against an aggro player turns into KK winning very little money.

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Kd, Ks.
Hero raises, 1 fold, Button 3-bets, 2 folds, Hero calls.

Results:
Hero has 3s Qs (flush, queen high).
BB has 7s 2c (two pair, sixes and twos).

Hand 9: Ummm... that was supposed to be a bluff against an aggressive opponent who I thought could fold. My read is no good here, but the pot is still mine.

UTG calls, MP raises, 4 folds, UTG calls.

Flop: (5.50 SB) Qd, 4c, 2h (2 players)
