Hand replay - KQ (-$26.78)
Here is another hand that I played. Again the infamous KQ for me.
***
This hand was played at $25 NL Full Ring table (blinds $0.10/$0.25) at Party Poker.
I was Under The Gun with 
. I called and everybody folded to the button who raised to $1.25. Player's name is vsx_t_royal and I haven't played with him before so I didn't know what type of player he really is. Both blinds folded and I called. Pot was $2.85 now and the flop came 
giving me a possible straight with a J and nothing much more. There was a threat from the possible flush draw, but I think I disregarded it since I was heads up with the button. Even though I was off position, I tried to stab and get the pot right now by bluffing (you can possibly call that a semi bluff, but I am not sure) by betting $2.50 in the head. Button raised me to $6 and of course I should have folded the hand right here because that was more than enough information for me to realize that I was most certainly beaten. I re-raised to $12 thinking that I still might get something out of this. Vsx_t_royal called my re-raise so the pot grew to $26.85. The turn came 
giving a possible flush, but I still didn't believe it too possible and I bet all-in for $13.53. I got flat called, and the river came 
for a definite flush possibility. Vsx_t_royal showed 
and took away the $51.26 pot with what was a nuts pair on flop and a very strong flush draw. I realize that this was another donkey move by me, but still, I am sharing this with my readers. What I know now (or think I know) is that even though I bet too much on flop (a slightly lesser bet would be OK is what I think now), I HAD to fold after the guy raised me over the top. I had nothing to do in that pot and really should have even thanked the guy for raising me so strong. Now, this would be an automatic fold for me even before flop, but If I somehow got involved and payed to see the flop, it would be an automatic fold on flop after a stab and vsx_t_royal's raise. Any comments are welcome...

Hands replay - KQ (-$11.15)
I got fired up doing this, so I will post another KQ hand right away. This is the last one from the KQ losing series.
***
The game was played at $50 NL Full Ring Table (blinds $0.25/$0.50) at Party Poker.
I was on Big Blind with and $84.50 in front of me, which made me rather comfortable at this point. It was folded all the way to the 2nd place off the button, a player named microfish4 for whom I knew (according to my Poker Tracker) was Tight Passive/Aggressive which basically means that he plays only top or good hands, doesn't raise pre-flop and if he hits, he is aggressive. He had $11.15 in front of him. Well, now he raised to $2 pre-flop. Everybody folded and I called for another $1.50. You can already see how this is wrong, even though I believe that at that moment I was thinking something like "he is short stacked and very tight and passive pre flop... maybe he is trying to steal with such a raise or really has something since he is tight...maybe I can bust him now and he won't cost me too much If I lose... maybe maybe maybe". Anyway, the flop came 
and there was $4.25 in pot. Here, I checked since I didn't have any diamonds but I had a top pair. The guy, microfish4, bets $4 and I call. The pot is now $12.25 and the turn comes 
. Microfish4 had $5.15 left, and this time I bet $6 trying to make him fold, but of course, he called with his all-in $5.15. River came 
creating a possibilities for a straight with an 5 8, straight with 8 J and a straight with JQ not to mention the potential flush that was opened on flop. Anyway, I opened my pair of kings, and microfish4 showed me his 
for his three of a kind. He took $22.30 in this pot. This is actually the hand that I am most interested in hearing comments about even though I got nailed by my own mistake again, but I think it is not SO idiotic as the previous hands I posted, although it is not far from them either to be honest. Cheers....
