I played some 350 hands at 10NL 6max yesterday, sticking to 2 tables as planned.
I quickly got up about $5 but then made a mistake (another lesson learned):
I raise PF with AKo and get a call from the BB.
Flop comes K93 rainbow and the BB checks.
I'm thinking I'm not gonna make much if I cbet, plus I wanted to balance my range here by checking.
Turn is a Q and now the BB leads out. Bingo! I continue my slow play and just call.
River is a T and now the BB checks and I bet half the pot, only to be raised...
And I make the call. BB shows a QJ straight and I loose 50BB.
F***ing idiot! DO NOT slowplay TPTK when the board shows some draws!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Won't be doing that again.
I loose another pot with KQ and a Q on the flop versus AQ.
The next few hands I rebuild from -$5 to +$5 and then I make another mistake.
I raise two limpers from the BB with AKo and both call.
Flop comes KQ6 with two diamonds (I have the ace of diamonds) and I make a potsized cbet (previous lesson learned) to keep people from drawing. Now the short-stack villain pushes, the other guys flats and I call.
I don't know why I called here. I didn't give the shortstack too much credit, but the overcall was a bit worrying. I guess I figured he was getting pretty good odds to draw, but could have a made hand as well. It should have been bet/fold, but I played it weak and just called.
Now the turn comes a J and the villain makes a 1/2 potbet and again I call.
River is a T of diamonds and I check (figuring villain might have made the flush).
Villain checks behind and shows a set of 6's.
I scoop the pot, but it was a horrible runner-runner suckout.
I was very surprised to see his set though, I really thought he would have played it harder to protect it against such a dangerous board. Perhaps he was afraid I had KK or QQ?
Anyway, I did play solid most of the time, putting in some good 3bets and generally showing some good aggression. I ended up $10 in the black, but it should have been break-even. I do tend to call raises too often: several times I called a raise on the flop and then folded to a turnbet. No big mistakes, but they do affect the bottom line.
Adios!

It is good to find the leaks in your game and even so important to learn from it!
