Well yesterday was a first since I started my operation. I lost money . After my STT set in the morning, I played a total of 6 $4.40s without a collect, and managed to lose over a buyin at my first shot with 25NL in about 10 minutes. Mainly due to this genious of a hand:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Hero ($21.70)
Button ($28.25)
SB ($29.75)
BB ($27.65)
UTG ($25.75)
MP ($12.40)

Preflop: Hero is CO with K, J.
1 fold, MP calls $0.25, Hero calls $0.25, 1 fold, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($1) 9, K, 3 (4 players)
SB bets $0.5, BB folds, MP calls $0.50, Hero raises to $2, SB calls $1.50, MP folds.

Turn: ($5.50) 5 (2 players)
SB bets $2, Hero raises to $6, SB calls $4.

River: ($17.50) 7 (2 players)
SB bets $21.5 (All-In), Hero calls $13.45 (All-In).

Final Pot: $44.40

Results:
SB has 4s 5s (flush, king high).
Hero has Kh Jd (one pair, kings).
Outcome: SB wins $52.45.


Gah, if I knew he was chasing a flush, why did I call the river push? Oh, because surely if he'd REALLY hit his flush, he'd try harder to extract some value than that! Except of course I managed to let him extract maximum value by convincing myself it was some kind of bluff or something.

Fairly sure I should have raised PF, dunno, should I have raised harder on flop on turn? Man, looking back if I'd realised what a chaser he was I'd have just pushed turn or something, but easy to be results oriented.

Man, I suck at cash . I guess I should drop back to 10NL and put in a bunch of hands to work at it, even though I'm rolled for 25NL.

BR around 820 now.
