About every month and a half or so we have a home game where we play a couple of $20, 9 or 10 man S&G's. Occasionally we play cash, dealers choice, but not this past friday night. It was the usual crowd of 9, a couple of droolers, a few semi-competent players that don't understand beyond A of ABC, a couple of gamblers and me.
Things started out fine, picked up a couple of pots w/position raises preflop and chipped up from my starting stack of 4500 up to 5500. Blinds had moved up to 100/200, UTG and UTG +1 limp, and I pick up KcKd in the CO. I make it 900. SB comes over the top for 3700 total, it folds around to me and I snap call. SB shows 2h 2c. Sweet, I think to myself. Flop comes Qs Jd 3d. Turn 7d. I say, "he has one card, the 2d makes the flush". River 2s. WTF!? Sigh. I count my measly chips, trying to avoid tilting, fold the next hand and go for a smoke.
I came back in, somewhat cooled down and got back to it. A couple of hands later I overshoved a couple of limpers w/suited connectors, I figure I have pretty good equity and I was chipping up almost 4 to 1, and end up getting called by QJo. Flop was paired, no draws, turn another blank, river I hit an 8 and I'm right back in it. Over the next hour I crushed souls and took it down. One point during HU, I was about a 10 to 1 dog after a big all in, not even enough to cover the BB. I won every hand after that. The following tourney went on to crush again.
Overall, I was really happy with my play. I was comfortable and confident and I feel like I really made some good decisions. I'd like to play more live. Between comments and actions, many people pretty much play their hands face up.
