The weekend with live poker

Well this weekend was a fun one I'd have to say. On Friday I went out with a bunch of people for a friends bday, we played hand shuffle board in a bar for a little and drank and danced, which is always fun. Saturday I went to my buddy's house to watch the UFC fights and they didnt dissapoint. Most of the fights were pretty incredible, with a lot of good finishes and the fight with aldo was incredible/gross. On Sunday I played poker for about 3 hours. I love playing there while their is sports on. Like the cardinals were playing and I was there for the miami heat game. I was happy the heat won, but the cards lost, booo. So The poker went ok for the day. I was started pretty slow, then got some good pots, but then I did something I hadn't done in a live session yet. I called light, and bled chips until I was back to even. I forced a few plays and made bad choices. Limit poker is all about extracting value when you have it, and folding when you dont and making good reads which is easy live. So I was about 3 down when this hand happens. I have A5DD and call the blind with about 5 people in it, I am under the gun. I prayed for all diamonds and the flop comes K710 all diamonds, I was like sweet. I looked at my cards again like i didnt have it then checked and raised a guy when he bet 3. He then made it nine and I made it 12 and we went to the turn. The next 2 cards were blanks with still having the nuts and betting 6 every time and he would call. He showed K7 for 2 pair. Lol did he really not think I had a flush on the flop to be raising and raising? Well either way I played about 3 more orbits and won one more pot and left. I profited 33 bucks for my 3 hours, but it could have been 80 if I have played better which sucks, but I am learning. So over the last 9 days I have played 3 sessions totaling 8 hours and I have made 183 dollars. I am really pleased with this and my play for the most part. The only thing that sucks is I have been spending the cash when I go out lol. I said I was gonna save the bankroll and build up but I have already spent 110 of it. So I have saved about 70 of it. I will go back tuesday I think so I'll keep people updated.

Thanks Bung
