Whoops - Bad Read

20/40 game playing 6 handed. UTG raises, cut-off calls, I call on the button with Ace - 4 of hearts. Flop comes 3h 5d th. I flopped the nut-flush draw, plus a gut-shot wheel draw. UTG bets, cut-off folds, I raise, UTG 3-bets, I 4-bet, UTG calls. Turn is the 2s. UTG checks, I bet, he check-raises, I re-raise, etc, etc until a total of 8 bets go in (with me calling the final raise). Hands I have UTG on : pocket tens for a set, ace-4 suited for a wheel, 4-6 suited. I originally put the raiser on pocket tens after the 4-bet went in on the turn, but when he reraised again, I thought hmm, he must have a straight, but he wouldn't raise UTG with 4/6, must be the same hand I have, which means I'm free-rolling. After the 8th bet went in, I was oh crap he really does have 4/6. No worries, 8 of hearts on the river, he check-calls and I drag a massive pot. Wasn't a huge suckout, I had 9 clean outs for the win and 2 chop outs as well.

On the flop I was the huge favorite anyways, but I got lucky on the river. Like I said, whoops bad read by me, but that's why they deal a 5 card board.

Third Quarter Results

Well I finished the month on a positive note, but I'm still in the red for the quarter. I've been playing well lately, so hopefully the positive trend will continue. In any case here are the results (not pretty by any means):

8/16 8 -349
20/40 43.834 -4172
40/80 129.25 -3123
75/150 16.16 1313
2/3NL 1 206
totals 198.244 -6125
Hourly loss = -30.90/hour

Overall for the year I'm still up quite a bit, but I hate losing!

Here's hoping the holiday season brings out the drunks, loose players, and maniacs to the tables!
