Figures

So I was playing the 20 game last night at Oceans. I get there around 9pm, and don't actually get into a game until 10pm. Now that I have an iPad, it's actually not so bad, as I can play games, surf the web, watch movies, etc, while I am waiting. In any case I get into an 8/16 game and play 3 hands mucking all 3 preflop, before I get called for a seat in the 20/40.

I end up playing for 4 hours, get in for 3 racks total, and around 2 am as I am getting ready to quit I am up almost a rack. Then in my last hand under the gun, I pick up two kings. Oh boy, I was really hoping to get a lousy hand so I could just muck and go home, but no I have to get a premium hand and I end up losing to a turned two pair on a three heart board when I have the king of hearts. Here's how the hand went down:

I raise up the KhKd, Amir cold-calls next up (absolutely horrible, I know, but what are you going to do?), Guy over-calls, button calls, Tong in the big blind calls. Joy, I am now playing a 5-way pot out of position, but hey at least I have two kings right?

Flop comes 8h 5s 2h. Not too bad, I lead, Amir raises, folds to Tong, who cold-calls, I 3-bet, Amir and Tong call. Turn is the Th. Tong checks, I check, Amir fires, Tong calls, I call. River is a blank, Amir bets, Tong calls, and I agonize, and make a very bad river over call, and lose to Td8d.

So to sum up, I pick up the 2 kings and lose $180 to finish the night up $261.
