bad day at black rock

lest anyone think that i only talk about wins or in some way or another 'shade' my poker reports let me clear that up with this post: today i lost 400 dollars and it only took an hour. the first stack went this way: i am under the gun with queens and i cold call looking to reraise. sure enough, the young man to my left makes it ten dollars to go and is called in two places back to the blinds; the little blind makes it 40 to go. here is the first mistake in this hand; i have seen this guy raise to 15 dollars with 7-2 and 8-9 so i know he is capable of raising with literally anything but this time i figure (wrongly it turns out) that he has either a medium pair or ace king. i call the forty as does the original raiser and then it is back to the big money stack on the table and he calls while one guy folds. the pot now contains 170 somewhat dollars. the flop comes: Jh, 9h, 9s. the little blind CHECKS, hmmmmm, i think well, he has AK so i bet 50 dollars into the pot. big money stack raises it to 150 dollars and lb calls. HMMMMMMM! what to do, i only have 120 dollars left and one of my queens is the queen of hearts. fuck. i go all in, big money stacks of course calls and so does lb. we show our hands, aces for the lb (fuck) and 9-6 by big money stack. the turn is the 8h which gives me a straight flush draw, flush draw (the aces do no contain a heart) and, of course, the possible queen. none of which came and there goes the first stack. had it been anyone other than the wild and wooly guy to raise to 40 i would have laid down my queens and only lost two dollars but his image as super aggressive sucked me in.

i am not even going to tell you how i lost the next 200 but let me say it was bad! so i am in the hole for the month. i shall pull out a winning month and will keep you posted. (so to speak)
