No. of Days Since I Felted Myself with a 1-Pair Hand = 4!

Two preposterous hands here, that I would have been embarrassed about even in my pre-Cardrunners days! I don't have anything to say in my defence, except that these hands came in amongst a 6.5 buyin downswing in less than 1k hands, and the whole World seemed to be against me!

Stack sizes:
UTG: $43.62
UTG+1: $46.45
CO: $49.64
Button: $149.10
Hero: $60.30
BB: $46.50

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is SB with :9d :ad
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, CO calls, Button raises to $2, Hero calls $2 (pot was $3.75), 2 folds, CO calls.

Villain plays 48/28/3. I elected to coldcall in the SB with A9s. I could perhaps have 3bet.


Flop: :kc :3d :9c ($7, 3 players)
Hero checks, CO checks, Button bets $3.5, Hero calls $3.5 (pot was $10.5), CO folds.
I flop middle pair and a backdoor flush draw. Villain weakly bets half the pot, and I decide to call. I probably fold at least half the time in this spot.

Turn: :7s ($14, 2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $16.09, Hero raises all-in $55.05, Button calls.
Villain now overbets the pot, and I don't believe him, so I push. Pretty horrible play by me. Villain playing 48/28 is not likely to be discerning enough to fold here, even if he was pushing a draw.

River: :qd ($124.1, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $124.1)


Neither the Ace nor the 9 came to save me. I should know better than to try moves like this!
Results:
Final pot: $124.1
Hero shows 9d Ad
Button shows Kd Jd

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG with :9h :9s
Hero raises to $2, UTG+1 folds, CO raises to $7, Button folds, SB calls, BB folds, Hero raises all-in $48.85, CO calls all-in $22.52, SB calls.
Villain plays 36/5/0.75. Std open raise for me UTG with any PP. CO 3bet and I should be folding here, as he has less than the 10x the raise left behind. Totally tilty push by me, and when he calls, I am praying to be shown AK!

Fairly predictable outcome! This was more or less the last hand that I played at $50NL, before I persuaded myself to walk away and drop down a level for while.
