Various stories from TT's adventures at the Commerce - A9s vs TAG

[Luv2DriveTT]

I'm taking my first shot at 20/40, staked 25 BB by Metatron and 10BB by myself. The table is amazing, a dream come true. I am catching amazing cards pre flop... QQ 3 hands in a row, AK twice, pocket 9's, and almost each time I get to open-raise, it was uncanny. Unfortunately almost all my hands don't complete or I have gone to showdown a loser - aka I'm running bad. BB is the only true TAG at the table, she is a very worthy opponent, the only person all weekend I played with that actually payed attention to every last thing that occurred at the table. Everyone else in this particular hand was loose passive.

The Villain may have pegged me for a tight aggressive player who is running bad, or she may have assumed I'm a donk since I haven't hit any hands but one so far after 1.5 hours or so. Previous hand I held AKs and bet the flop & turn with a 4 flush board. The river was a 9, I lost to the big blind who called me all the way down with no draws only to pair his 69o on the river.


To the best of my memory, this is how it played out.

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

UTG limps, Hero limps, CO limps, Villain checks.

Flop: 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
UTG+1 checks, Hero bets, CO calls, Villain calls, UTG +1 folds.

Turn: 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero bets, CO folds, Villain raises, Hero….

Whats my line?
