(I was actually surprised I won this hand, I only really raised after the River to semi-bluff the Ace. Figured since both players checked after the flop and turn their hands weren't that strong, and still searching for a draw. Guess it worked lol)

Hand #15
Position: SB


Pre-Flop:


SB(TeeJay) ( )- Posts $0.01
BB- Posts $0.02
BTN- Raises to $0.35
SB(TeeJay)( )- Folds
BB- Folds


Winner: Q (BTN)
Pot: $0.38
Loss: -$0.01


(Another Hand where I feel I may have folded too early, especially because the man playing behind me folded also. A2 didn't seem like a strong enough hand to call the raise with? Especially with the player who raised, he's a loose aggressive, but plays good hands in the showdown.)

Winner: BB(TJ) ( )
Pot: $1.88


(I think I played this hand pretty safe, against the loose aggressive better. Maybe I could have bet more? Didn't want to scare potential callers/raisers.)

(I was pretty nervous about playing these pocket Aces after the turn didn't look so good with a King coming out. Luckily the SB and BB Checked, giving me an opportunity to raise and a little more confidence that maybe a king wasn't in someone's hand. Ended up a good bet.)

This Hand Needs a Ruling/Opinion
Hand #28
Position: SB

SB(TJ)( )- Posts $0.01
BB- Posts $0.02
BTN- Calls $0.02
SB(TJ)( )- Calls $0.01
BB- Checks


Flop:

Turn:
SB(TJ)( )-Bets $0.30

BB- Calls $0.15


Showdown:
SB(TJ)( )- Straight ( )
BB- ( )-Straight ( )


Winner:?
SB(TJ)( )
Pot: $ 1.36


(This is a hand that I need an opinion on. At the showdown, it was determined that I was winner with a straight. The Big Blind had a straight also and argued that the pot should be split because we both had Queens to make a straight. The ruling by the group was that i was the sole winner of the pot because I used two hole cards to create my 5, and also if we tied Queens my kicker card was an 8 and his a 3. Was this the correct ruling or should we have split the pot?)


-------------


There were numerous other hands played where I lost small and large amounts but these were the ones I was able to log and remember.




Buy In: $2.00


Cash Out: $3.60




Pretty decent session for limit penny poker, tried to play tight and aggressive when the opportunity presented itself.


Any tips or comments guys? Thanks for reading.
