Bad players make me money
Didnt play on Tuesday night but played for a couple of hours last night. Was an up and down night yet again. Basically my good cards werent hitting the flop and if I put a bet out it would be called or raised and I wouldnt improve. Almost all my bluffs were called, just one of those nights. If it werent for some bad play by some players I wouldnt have made any money at all.

I dont fault his flop bet, and although I am fine with his turn bet, I really disagree with his river bet. He should've checked and seen what I did as at that point with four suited cards on the board what exactly did he think I had? And when I reraised him all-in on the river he has to fold. Its the SS syndrome. He dicided to put his last few dollars in on a wish and leave if he lost. Those extra dollars these guys waste sure adds up in my BR :-)
I was quitting at 8pm last night and had unclicked the auto-post feature and was waiting for the blinds to get to me before leaving when this hand happened. At this point I was maybe $10-$20 up for the night. Unfortunately I didnt save the HH so this is from memory...
I was UTG or UTG+1 and raised to $5 w/QQ and SB was the only one to call me. Flop came 38T and there were 2 clubs. He bet $15 (overbet?) and I went through my head what could he have...I decided I was ahead of him at this point and wasnt going to make it cheap for him so I raised him an additional $30. The turn was an "x" nonscary card and he bet into me $10. Normally this is a scare but I just didnt feel he was better than me atthis point and put him on a hand like AT. Well seeing as I felt I was ahead I was going to tell him the smae thing and I pushed in. He paused for a bit, so I felt confident my read was good but he called anyway. Dont remember the pot size but I think it was close to $200. The river was an Ace and I thought that might've killed me but at showdown he showed KTo and I took the pot. It is capitalizing on these bad players that makes me a profitable one. What do you think he was thinking? Some people get stubborn and want laydown when you raise them back and I wouldnt be surprised that byt the time I put him all-in he felt pot invested and guessed he was behind but now wanted some luck to suck out. Fine with me. Most of these I will win but I am going to have to payoff one of these players on the river one day soon. Actually I did just last week...maybe I am safe for a while...
I ended the night about $110 up.
