I started to play again today. Since I was in a losing streak and I'm very conservative in terms of Bankroll Management, I played one $0.6 SG. I'll play a few of those to get back at 1,20 tables...

I was on fire in this game...got good cards and I knew how to take advantage of opponents mistakes. We were 10 players...I elimined 4 of them.

Unfortunately, I made a stupid, stupid mistake in the final HU. It takes a few minutes on the auto-pilot to lose a game. The decisive hand is below:

No-Limit Hold'em, $400.00 BB (2 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

BB ($5940)
Hero (SB) ($9060)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A, A
Hero calls $200, BB checks

Flop: ($800) 8, 2, 6 (2 players)
BB bets $400, Hero calls $400

Turn: ($1600) 7 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $800, BB calls $800

River: ($3200) Q (2 players)
BB bets $3200, Hero raises $7460 (All-In), BB calls $1140 (All-In)

Total pot: $11880

Results:
Hero had A, A (one pair, Aces).
BB had 10, 9 (straight, ten high).
Outcome: BB won $11880

Should have raised the flop. AA is too vulnerable to play like that. Villain was betting 1/2 the pot almost every time...I assumed he had nothing. He made a gutshot on the turn (he would not chase it if I have raised).

Bad play. After that hand, I managed to recover most of it, but got busted when my A3 was facing AK. Opponent never raised PF and bet the flop 77% of the time...quite predictable, but he won today.
