sick cash game

Live cash games tend to be a bit of a grind, especially when your playing self-dealt 7-9 handed no limit holdem. Good cards and good bluffing situations tend to be hard to find and in general i'm happy when i look back at a live session and i can say that i got the big decisions right and ideally have a nice 50% return on my initial buy in; if i'm running bad sometimes its even just nice to break even. Last night was somewhat different to the usual grind; went to the pub after work, had a couple of pints and just i was headed home i decided to nip into the empire to see if there was a game going on. Tourney was well under way but spotted a 1/2 game going on so i jumped straight in for 2oo with 6 complete randoms.
Not long before i was playing a big pot with the 32 of hearts. 3 limps and i complete from the sb. Flop 10 8 3 with two hearts and i check. First limper bets 10 and button calls, thought about raising here but was out of position and didn't feel like these guys were folding so i flat call, as does the bb. Turn is the jack of hearts so i make my flush and bet 20, bb insta calls and the flop raiser then makes it 60 yikes!! Didn't love this situation cause i know someone could have me out flushed in a multi-way pot but there is a lot in the middle and i've never played these guys before so i push for 90ish more, bb dwells and folds 2 pair, good fold then the raiser (who later turns out to be a full time live pro) thinks and folds Q 9 (no heart), excellent lay down but i'm up and running.
Next big hand was based on this smaller hand before: Ep makes it 6, 1 call and i call from the bb with 10 9 of spades. Flop K 10 2 rainbow and i check, raiser c-bets 10 and other player calls (as do i). Turn is the 10 of hearts and i bet 15 both call; river is a total brick and i bet 25, raiser insta calls and other guy folds. As i show the 10 9 he shows KQ for top 2 and moans in danish to his hot girlfriend about what a fish i am, lol think he has a point. So my carlsberg drinking buddy is not in the best of moods for the next hand when i look down at KK in the sb, folded rounded to me and i bump it to 8 and the dane insta calls. Flop Q 10 6 and i bet 20 just hoping he has flopped a pair and is ready to play a big pot. Not to my suprise he raises to 60 and seeing he has 100 behind, i think for about 10 secs then set him in. Looking like he might explode, the guy once again reverts to his native tongue before calling it off with A10! My hand holds and i'm now sitting on a big fat 200 profit.
As my danish friend exits 2 rather young looking indian boys sit down for 100 each and it becomes obvious very early that they have very little idea what they are doing. Love this hand: 5 limps to my bb and i check Q5 of diamonds. Flop A 6 7 with two diamonds, 2nd limper bets 9, young indian kid calls on the button and i calls as well. Turn is a black 3 making me a straight draw but still not 2 happy when the guy bets 30, when the kid calls i was sure i was getting the right price and am loving it when the golden 2 of diamonds hits the river. I make a sneaky check and the raiser blocker bets 15 (the kid calls again) and i raise 50 more, first guy dwells then folds his ace and the donkey calls with JJ!!!!!! The table looks shocked as he turns it over and says the following 'was sure you were bluffing again', the hand before i had shown a 6 pound bluff! ship it!
For the next 3 hours i ran hot, hot hot! Twice i had K 9 and the flop came K99, got paid 100 both times. Won another 130 with 10 3 when it came 10 3 3 and another guy had A3, LOL! It was simply ridiculous i was running good and playing good. Was about to stand up and leave at 2am when the game was 4 handed, que a young chinese couple entering the cardroom and once again struggling to get to grips with the game, 2nd hand of 6 handed play and i find 33 on the CO. Two of us limp in, sb completes and bb checks. Flop is 9 8 3 with two hearts and the girl bets 10, bb calls, as does the limper. Lot of draws out there so i make it 50. The girl calls and the other 2 fold. Turn is a black queen which is quite safe but she bets 50 and the j 10 got there so seeing as she has 250 behind and i'm a bit of a pussy i flat call and see the river cheap, 8 pairs the board and i have a rather pretty looking full house, she bets 100, i raise 150 more and after 10secs she calls with AQ. That's right 50 more on the flop with ace high! TY VERY MUCH!
After a bottle of champagne (bought by my new favourite couple) the game breaks after some more fun hands and i'm up 1350 quid, sick sick, sick! Think i might be back at the empire soon!
