The reason I played QQ so slowly preflop is because there were 5 players not actually at the table. With blinds 10/15, I knew I wouldn't get much action. BB is one of those out. So, I guessed a raise early could be a large variety of hands. Knowing this person may be aggressive on the flop with the SB calling, I felt I could trap for a few bets. However, I did not know I would get the most perfect flop available.

Holding QQ with flop of 9Q9, I thought I'd take a shot with a small bet of 50 into the 105 pot and hope he'd see it as a bluff at the pot and reraise. He bit betting 100. I figure any reraise will push him out, so I make it big, making it 350 to go. When he calls, I know he has a nine, and he's hooked.

So, on the turn I push and he calls. Got me covered by 200+. River is his 10 for a full house, and I'm sorry David for slowplaying you into that.

At present, David is back to 1800 chips [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

After Zoot lost a ton of chips, I took a chance with AK. Guy with stack almost the same as me raised to 400, blinds were 50/100. That 4 times raise is almost always QQ, JJ or TT it seems but I pushed all-in anyway with AK. Only the winner pays, so might as well take a chance. He called with TT and I didn't improve.

Starte4d pushing on each hand with my last 200 and no one would call, so I played a 4 way pot from the sb hoping to quadruple up with T8, made 2 pair, but lost to a flush.

Stole a blind and then won a race with AK vs. TT so I'm up to 2180 which is almost exactly the average so I'm a bit healthier now.

Had KQs that I was looking to play but EP raised 3xBB and I got out of there.
He got all-in against BB with his red AA vs. black AA.
LOL.

I just got moved to table 2 also.
Look out.

[cnfuzzd]

all kinds of excitement,, CO with KQo,, raise to 300, BB with 650 pushes, i call, he has AA. Flop a K and turn a Q. I suck out g00t at 3100 now. welcome aboard bob
