So I pick up Steve and we get to Bloomfield right when they're gonna start the 2nd table. The tournament is still finishing up in the back and the main game looks alright. I buy in for $250 and a few hands in I pick up AQ and raise to $15 and get 1 caller. Flop comes 9 9 6 rainbow and he checks it to me, i bet $20 and he thinks for a little and calls. Turn is a Q, he leads out for $55 and i shove for $100 total, he calls with J9.
I reload and a few hands later I limp with Q9s in the cutoff, limped pot. Flop comes K J x, 2 spades. The same guy who i lost with AQ to J9 before now bets $10 and I raise it up to $30. Folds around back to him and he calls. Turn is a red T. he checks i bet $50, he calls. River 5s. He checks i bet $75 he thinks for a little and then calls with AK.
Not too long after that I get involved in a pretty big hand. I'm in the BB with QQ and there are a couple limpers and i make it $15 on top. Folds around to the SB who is a somewhat tight players and knows that i'm tight but he's not that good. Flop comes T T 2, rainbow and he checks it to me. I bet $15 to make it look like i don't have much and he thinks for a good 10-15 seconds and then just calls. Turn is an 8 and he fires out $40. I'm extremely confused by this and think whether or not i should shove for $200ish, and whether or not he really does have the T. I decide to just call and re-evaluate on the river since i have position. River pairs the 8 so board is TT288. He checks it over to me and at this point i figure that my hand is best and it's not worth it to just check it behind since I may be able to get some value from him. For some reason i went for the pot sized bet and fired $125. He turns sick as if he just got counterfitted by the 8 and as if he had me the whole way before that so i figure i'm good. He then shows the table he has 22 and shows it to me in which case i don't show any emotion back. He proceeds to think for a good 45 seconds and I know there's just no way he's really gonna fold this hand and that he's just wasting time so i'm not even worried really, i know its a loss already and finally he calls. I think i should've bet a much smaller amount on the river like $40-$50. = /
After this hand i'm back down to about $150ish and had already reloaded up to $580. At this point i got moved to the main game and Steve was already there. I grinded up to $300 and then slowly swung down to $240. We decide to stay for a last half hour and a couple hands into it i pick up AA in the sb. There are 2 limpers and i have a pretty solid tight image so i raise it up to $15 on top. It goes heads up with a maniac player and i'm banking on doubling up if i get a good flop. Flop comes Q 8 4, all diamonds. I do not have a diamond but decide to lead out for $25. He thinks for a little and then min raises me back to $50. I think about it and then shove for $200 and he calls. I say u got the flush already? he says No, in which case i think i'm ahead but he then flips over 84c for 2 pair... GG.
