I seem to be just running even lately playing on line. Kevin has been on an unbelievable run. He is still on the first $50.00 he started with and has done quite well. Kevin's game of choice is Sit & go's or single table tournaments. He is not very fond of the cash game. I like the Sit & Go, but I seem to end up card dead near the end of the game. The blinds get high and with a short table I have to start gambling just to keep my head above water. Then I get picked off like duck in a shooting game. I tend to like the cash game. The blinds never go up. You can sit back and wait for quality hands to play. The problem here is you are playing for real money. You make a dumb play in a sit & go you're out $5.50, just the buy in. A dumb move in a cash game can cost you $25.00 real cash.That brings me to tonight's session. I started off by playing a $5.00 sit & go. I was hanging around the middle of the pack with an average chip stack of 1,850 in chips. The blinds get up to 100 / 200 now I only have just over 5 rounds before I'm blinded out and we are only down to 6 players. So I pick up pocket 9's in mid position with everyone folding to me. I figure I've been playing very tight so I really only have one move. I move the slider on the screen to all in and click raise. I get to the big blind / chip leader and he calls with an Ace 5 off suit. Well he spikes an ace on the turn and I end up sixth. A big goose egg for just about an hour of play.So I stare at the cash game button... Ahh what the hell, so I hit a $.15 / .25 no limit cash game. Well in 30 Min's I up $12.00 then I get in a hand where I have... Pocket 9's in mid position, again, with 4 people limping in. I want to see who really has a hand so I raise to $2.00 I get one call from the button. The flop is 9, 10, ace, with 2 clubs. That's a very good flop for me because I know that for some reason on line players think that any ace is very strong. I don't like the 2 clubs, but I now have trips. What I'm not crazy about is I don't have position. I bet another $2.00 and after a little pause I get called. So the is a little over $9.00 in the pot. The turn is a Jack of clubs. Now I'm not loving my trips so much because there is a straight & flush on the board. I figure I'll go with another $2.00 bet. Well, then he goes all in for another $20.00. I only have $6.00 invested in this hand, which is half of my winnings, if I call and lose I've lost half the money I have brought to the table. So I fold. I'm still up $6.00 and the game goes on. There was a time early in my game where I would have called that knowing I could be beat and moan about a bad beat afterwords.Then comes the hand that a cash game is made for. I'm in the big blind with an 8 - 7 of spades and I have 5 players limping in. I want to raise just because I don't like the fact that that many players think I'm going to let them see a cheap flop. But, it's not really a raising hand so I check. The flop is King of clubs, 8 of clubs, 8 of hearts. Nice, trips..... Well I'm first to act and would normally check, hoping to check raise, but I don't want to give a free card which could be another club. So I bet $.50. I get 2 callers. The turn is a 7 of diamonds, ohhh baby I now have eights full. I now want someone to hit their flush. I check, both players check. The turn is a jack of clubs. I have to bet first, but I don't want to scare them so I bet $1.00. The first guy raises me to $5.00 and the second guy raises him to $15.00. I have just about $26.00 in my stack so I go all in praying for 2 things. The first is both of them to call, and the second is that one of then does not have the only hand that can beat me, Pocket Jacks." Well Mister re raise to $5.00 folds. It's only $11.00 to call me, so the second guy makes the call. He has Ace King of Clubs for an Ace High Flush.I now have $71.00 and have been playing for about 1 hour. That's a $46.00 profit. I would have to win 2 $5.00 sit & go's to make the same amount of money.On the other hand, If he had pocket Jack's I would have slow played myself out of $25.00.Poker, Poker, what a thrill... Start out with the worst hand and go up hill
