Back to winning

Played some more cash (only an hour) and here's what happened. I was getting very card dead at first but I stayed patient and ended up with a nice profit.

Table 1
- buy-in - $50
- didn't win a single hand!
- end - down $6.25

Table 2
- buy-in - $50
- won 4 pots in total, all less than $3
- end - down $0.90

Table 3
- buy-in - $50
- chased with KsJs on a As-2s-Qd board but missed both draws - $45.50
- get AA in LP. There are 2 limpers and I make it $3. Only 1 limper calls. The flop is A-4-6. He checks and I bet $3, hoping to look weak. He calls. The turn is a 10 and he checks too, wanting him to think I was just continuation betting the flop and I have nothing. The river is a 2 and he bets out $7. I raise to $22 and he calls with 66. Damn, he had a monster! If only I had played it a bit faster I would've got his whole stack, but I couldn't guess that he had a set - $72.35
- get 9c5c in the SB. There are 2 limpers and and I call. The flop is K-6c-3c. I check. I limper bets $1.90 and only I call. I have a read on this player. A few times he has called down big bets with only 2nd pair or top pair low kicker. Therefore if I hit I think he might pay me off. The turn is Jc. I bet the pot and he calls. The river is an 8d. I bet $10 and he folds - $79.45
- end - up $31.05

Table 4
- buy-in - $50
- call a raise with QhJh after 2 other players have called. I flop a flush draw and turn top pair. I bet and take the pot - $54.05
- get AA in the BB. There are 4 callers, including the SB, and I raise to $3. 1 MP limper and the SB call. The flop is J-6-2. i want to take this pot now, as I usually end up paying off sets in this situation. SB bets $2 and I raise to $7 to find out where I am. The both call (so where am I?). The turn is another 2, and SB checks. I check too, to try to keep the pot small and to see what MP does. MP bets $5 and we both call, although I'm not sure where I am still. The river is another 2. SB checks and I check, hoping for the showdown. However, MP goes all-in for $14.50. SB calls and I am fairly sure SB has a J, and so I am ahead. Therefore I push all-in for $34.85 to create a side-pot. SB calls. SB shows J10o and MP shows 10 10 - $123.25
- end - up $74.25

-session balance - $98.15

Cash Hours = 75.25
Cash Profit = $594.48 ($7.90 p/h)
