Extremes - plus or minus 45

As the weather is starting to heat up , my poker results
are turning ice cold. In fact I think there is an inverse
relationsip. Currently the weather is more than 40 degrees, and the poker
losses have slipped below 40k. Oh well wat can you do ? Get a new job ? haha

Todays event was the 5k NL. All the good players were playing,
and my table was pretty good considering, as only Nam Le was there,
and also some other guy who plays 100-200NL tho I didnt know
who he was. I started off trying to see some cheap flops and connect,
but everything missed. When I bet someone would call with a gutshot
and outdraw me. Gradually my chips almost 1/2ved. I managed
to win a pot finally with a5 under the gun flopping 2 pair, and later
a donkey pushed all in over the top short stacked with AQ against my
AA and i was back in it up to 11k . (starting 10k).

Then tuan le, got moved to my table, with a lot of chips.
He was playing quite a few hands, and was pushing ppl
around. I didnt get anything, and a raise with 3-4s didnt end up to good,
as i bet a 10-10-9 flop and got re-raised. I had aroudn 8k when the following
hand came up just before the 2nd break. Tuan limped in, somone else called,
I called with 3-4 spades on the button, and the blinds came in. The Flop
came J-6s-2s. He bet 800 in about 1200pot, I could have called here, but
he would bet a range of hands that he would prolly fold here if i raised, plus
i had a big draw, and i could push out the other players. I made it 2400, and
he called quickly. The turn came a red 4. Giving me a pair. I put him on something
like j10 , qj or may me a big flush draw like k-10spades. He checked and I pushed
my remaining 5k chips in. I figured I would do this with a set or KJ, and he would
fold a medium j or prolly a higher flush draw. Tho even if he called with the flush draw,
I had now turned a pair so i would be ahead. If i check he may bet big with
a missed flush draw on the river, and I wouldnt know where I was. He thought
about it for a while and ended up calling with j10. I had 17 outs , of course
it came a blank. I was happy with the way i played that hand the rest of it.
I was a bit disapointed he called with j10 there, coz my image had been
tight, and I had only showed Aces and barely played that much. If i had a better
jack he was drawing almost dead.

Oh well, i hope it doesnt get much hotter.
