I bought in for what I had in this site which was a measly $8.79 but the max buy in was $10 so it didnt really make much difference.
I thought it was gonna be a disappointing session as I was going nowhere and was never more than a couple of dollars up. I got a few pairs such as 22, 66, 22 but never got paid off when I hit set as when I checked and slow played everyone else checked and when I bet out no one had anything and they all folded so pretty frustrating! Even more so when in a mad 5 minutes there were people going all in with crap and winning with crap. For example I folded 84 only to see the flop come 567 and 2 guys from somewhere unpronounceable called bets all the way to the river with middle and botom pairs and lost to a rivered set for a pot of over $20!
I won preflop with AK and with JJ on the button betting out on a Q94 flop after the 2 callers to my 0.50 preflop raise checked the flop. The next hand I had JJ again and folded to a bet to 2 over cards on the flop. I flopped another set with KQ in the big blind but the 2 spades on the flop had me betting and all folded. My 0.50 preflop raise with QQ in the cutoff to 3 limpers also caused them all to fold - all in all pretty frustrating and the upshot was that I was about 50 cents up after 98 hands. That must be the world's worst bb/hour stat!
Anyway I said to myself I will play 100 hands and then call it a night as I was getting nowhere. .....Its amazing how things can suddenly turn round which I guess is what makes poker so great! Hand 100 and I looked down at TT in early position and......
