Took the day off and to my delight found my everest money was back. so I bought into Europoker fully and began 4 tabling 50NL
Well The software is shakey on my laptop to say the least but I can still play and read what is going on so no problems. Well there was one problem....
I played like a dick. ended up down $70 and really would have been $130 better off than that if I hadnt been such a station.
For some reason I made 4 ridiculously loose calls: Here is one and it really is terrible
Button: HoneyMon5ter $95
SB: Villain 1: $60
BB: Villain 2: $25
Dealt to HoneyMon5ter: 
Folded to HM who raises to $2. SB calls, BB calls
Flop: 
2 checks, HM bets $6, SB calls, BB calls
Turn: :Tc:
SB bets $15, BB folds, HoneyMon5ter calls. I think im behind but have outs and don't wanna let go yet.
River: 
SB bets $30.
I know I'm smoked. This has to be the worst call I've ever made. Still I made it.
Had a couple of similars and was unlucky in 1 hand where I called a pf raise from the blinds with 77 and flop a set on a monotone board. I checked to the raiser who checked behind (as did the other caller). The deathly 4th spade came on the turn and i never improved. Oh well.
Still despite 3 bad calls there were some good plays and some nice hands (otherwise id be $200 down). My favorite hand was the following although nothing special by me, it was fun. I guess this doesnt happen to us very often!
UTG: HoneyMon5ster: $50
UTG+1: $150
MP2: $40
CO: $16
BB: $40
Dealt to HoneyMon5ter: 
HM limps, UTG calls, MP2 raises $2, CO calls, BB calls, HM calls UTG+1 calls
pot = $10.25
Flop 
BB checks, HM checks, UTG+1 checks, MP2 bets $3, CO raises $14 (all in), BB calls $14, HM calls $14, UTG+1 folds, MP2 folds
Pot = $55.25
Turn 
BB checks, HM bets $10, BB folds
CO shows
I bet the turn cos I hoped BB was on a flush draw, so I gave him pot odds to draw to a flush. Guy said he had and put me on trip 4's. (Not everyone uses pot odds it would seem.)
I'm fairly mad at myself. I think my weekend high has given me a warranted air of invincibility, and has led me to make silly expensive calls. I need to remember that folding correctly makes just as much money as everything else and getting it wrong can destroy your winrate.
Still my preflop game was solid, and there are still tons of positives.
Think ill post some of the silly hands in the NLHE forum to check they were bad as soon as I get PT configured for ongame. (BTW if anyone has installed SQLite 3 ODBC let me know where I can get it. apparantly HH's cant be processed without.)
Till next time
