Yeah so I went to Sands Casino today in PA.  I was dominating the tables and more than doubled up playing 1/2NL until things started not going my way.  My image was awesome, I literally could have any 2 cards. I was raising with an extremely wide range of hands almost every other hand.  I had a few orbits I raised 9/10 pots pre.  I was getting a lot of action and I was hitting hands which made for a very easy day.  About 4 hours in I wake up with TT and flop top set (flop: Tc 6h 4h) Bet $25 into a $40 pot.  I get 2 callers.  Turn comes Kc I bet $75  guy to my left jams other guy fold I call.  River 9c, guy to my lefts shows JcQc, straight flush.  so lame not cool. He did what I want from player it just played out like garbage. What he put me on when he flop flatted me idk but I can't really blame him for trying something with the way I was playing. just amazingly unlucky for me.  Very curious to what he would have done if blank came on turn. Anyways moving on...

very next hand I flop top 2 pair Q8 (flop Qc 8d 4h) first to act checks middle positions bets $25 into $40 pot. I raise 3x ($75) folds around to initial guy that checked, he flats along with middle position. Wtf does every one have. Turn 9c its checks to me, i am very skeptical of everyone's hand at this point. I check as well.  I figured first to act had a hand like TJ, or maybe a set of 4's and under playing. River 8c first to act bets $50, middle fold, think for a while and figure what could this guy ever  have here that beets me.  I shove he calls flips over TcJc. Awesome flop call! very nice.

So I ended up running into back to back straight flushes, both being runner runner. It was not cool and upset me a lot obv.  But I cant really complain cause it is tough to get respect when playing a super aggressive style of poker.  Next time I just need to run better.  Over all for the day I lost a few Hundos but still not stopping me from going to Borgata tomorrow night for Wednesdays BSO event.
