Pocket 4's

Well the night started off looking great. I immediately took controll of the table and turned my initial 200$ buy in into 300$ in about 30 minutes. I tightened up a bit and stayed around that amount for the next hour or so..

Then i pick up 98 of spades in first position..I lead out for 12$ using the first position to help strengthen my hand..Well that didn't work because 7 people called my raise putting the pot at about 85$...Flop comes A hearts 6 spades J hearts...Small blind leads out for 6$ i raise him 25$ guy behind me (Who is very tight and relatively new to the game) just calls. It comes back to the small blind who folds. The turn is a 6 clubs...I lead out for 65$. The guy has about 165 left and thinks about it for about 30 seconds and calls. The river brings the K of hearts which would make any draw plus i was basically representing AK. I push all in and the guy is about to fold but he says you know im ready to leave and throws in the remaining hundred and turns over AJ....

So after i bluffed off about 200 of my stack, a few rounds later i pick up 44 in the big blind. Everyone limps and the button guy ,who is terrible, raises 10 dollars, which he pretty much did every time. 5 people call so the pots at 50$ and the flop brings rainbow 8 6 5. It checks to the button guy who throws out 20$. I have 120$ in front of me and everything inside me knew he had high cards and completely missed the flop. I push all-in with my 44 and it folds to him. He says "You must be drawing" then calls and turns over AK..i turn over my 44 and the turn and river bring rags so i doubled up to put me at about 250$ish. He then looks at me and says i was crazy for pushing in with 44...

I guess he really thought his AK was good.....as he continue to laugh an mumble to himself...he went all-in with fours...

Bottom line of the night: I need to stop being a dumbass by trying to bluff the tightest player at the table in the one hand he plays.

So i bought in for 200$ and left with 220$...my streak of winning sessions under 50$ continues to 3 nights in a row...I guess its better than loosing though.................damit.
