How are you doing at the tables (Poker Thread)?

I seem to be on a dry spell. I can't seem to get anything together. Didn't have much luck in Tunica a few weekends ago. Although I finished up ahead overall for the trip, I was disappointed by my play at the 1/2 NL tables.

Got beat of a pot last night playing a home game. I've got QQ middle position raised to 15. BB (tight player called)

Flop Q 8 rag. He checks, I bet 15 knowing he's got something good. He smooth calls.

Turn A - He checks, I bet 25, he raises to 50. He'd been check-raising me all night catching me when I'm trying to steal the pot. I figure I've got him this time.

River 8 - He comes out firing 30 which I expected. No way he can check the River. I raise to 90. He considers and stalls, then goes all in for about 120 on top of his original 30.

I felt the pain before I even had to look at his cards. Of course I called, he turned over pocket A's. Interesting he smooth called pre-flop and the flop. I couldn't make anything else happen after that really.

Lost my last hand of the night with JJ against the same guy. He had Ac Kc. Flop 10c 7c 7r. Of course I couldn't get him off his hand after the flop. He caught his K on the turn.
