At least for me today.

Went to Hollywood Park, decided I would cool off my NL run and take a stab at a slightly bigger limit than I normally play at, 6/12. First meaningful hand I have Ad3d in the BB and call a raise and go 3 handed to the flop. 997 with two diamonds. I check, Initial raiser bets, next guy calls, I raise, both call. I bet a black 8 on the turn. River blanks and I check/fold, initial raiser had JJ, other guy KK!

Next hand I limp in MP behind two others with pocket threes, we go 6 or 7-handed to the flop of J J 2. We check around. Turn: 3. Sweet, bad player bets, its to me next and I raise. Everyone folds, he calls. River: Q. He bets. I'm not good enough yet to fold my boat here I call and he tables JQ for the rivered better full house.

Following that hand, I get KK in EP, raise and get 5 callers! Flop comes J K 6 with two diamonds. I bet and get 4 callers. Turn blanks, I bet and get 4 callers. River is the Qd, not good, we call check and an EP player shows 6d7d for the flush, eck.

Next hand is my hand from the advanced theory section of the forum, you can play along if you like.

I have Ks6s in the SB, 4 limpers to me, I limp. BB checks. Flop comes K 9 3, I check, UTG limper bets, 3 callers, I call. Turn: K, I bet, UTG folds, one caller and then a semi-solid guy raised, I mucked. Bleh. I'm 99% raiser had either 99, 33, or K9.

Won a decent pot with JJ on a final board of like 8 8 9 T 6 or some junk. Against 2 others and I somehow one that pot.

Raised with QQ UTG and only the big blind called, he check/folded an inconspicious flop.

Had AKo in the BB. 6-handed, I check. Flop is A J 9, two hearts. I bet 3 callers. Turn T, I bet 3 callers, river blanks, we check around, my AK holds up.

Raise one EP limper with QsJs, button calls, SB calls, BB calls, limper calls. Flop: J 8 4 , two hearts. SB checks, BB bets, limper folds, I raise, button cold-calls, SB cold-calls, BB 3-bets, I call, everyone calls. Turn: 6, BB bets out I fold (he was solid TAG) River: 6h. I was up against a flush draw and BB had 84 for the counterfeited two pair.

Pretty much sums up my night, making expensive second-best boats and strong hands after another.
