$140 in an hour!

Played 2/4 on Titan last night and won $140! Certainly my best ever ring game return - was in table with 5 calling stations which didn't break up for over an hour. Hit loads of flops (1 straight, 3 2-pairs) and don't think i was rivered once (apart from when I had A high straight, and 10 flopped on river meaning split pot).

Couple of hand that stood out - I raised with A9 (was a 6 player table and I had late position) which was called. Flop was KQJ and I bet again hoping opponent had missed too and would fold. Turn was K so I bet again (foolishly I know, but I was on a major roll and opponents were calling 1st bets then folding a lot), and opponent called. I put him on a K and thought I'd have to bail. River was A which gave me some chance if he had been holding Q or J (though obviously would have made straight if he had 10). I checked, he bet $4, and I called (cos of large pot, though I was pretty sure he had K).

He turned over 7,7! Yes I was bluffing, but he really didn't think I could have a card to beat him?

Second one, board showed j,10,8,4. I had QJ so led betting which was called by 2. River was 9, which made my straight, but I was wary of raising because you opponents could easily have had KQ as often happens. Player 1 bet, Player 2 called and I called, expecting split pot. Player one showed 10,9, which was fair enough - 2 pair. Player 2 had A8! Another big pot! I've never played at a table before, where all 5 opponents were really bad!

congrats to you - i have grown wary of online ring games because i just get dried out. Live games all day long, but i've been sucked out too many times in those things...i tip my hat
