I went to Wheeling Island on Friday. It was a disaster. I started at the 1/2 no limit table as there was no 2/4 table running. At 7:30 am on Friday there were only 2 tables running-1/2 and 2/5 no limit. I took a big hit when I raised preflop and only got one caller then made a continuation bet of 20. I had seen the villain call preflop and fold to bet on the flop before. He called my CB. I checked on the river and he fired a bet. I had to fold, but I put the move into my mental notebook hoping to use it again. That hand cost me $30. Several hands later, I raised early with AQo and got re raised. The raiser was fairly aggressive, so i checked the XZQ flop as did the other four players. The raiser bet and I was the only caller. He made so speech about "of course, one guy has to stay". I knew I had him beat. The turn brought an 8 and I pushed my remaining chips into the center. He called and showed 88 for a set on the turn. I do not think I could have played that hand differently. I reloaded and won back 50 before I got called to an open 2/4 limit table.

At the limit table I flopped a set and was between to players one with an obvious str8 and the other with an obvious flush draw. I was getting 2:1 on my money and putting in less than that, so I had to call the whole way. The board never paired and I lost 30 on that hand. Had I won, my day would have been better. After that, I do not think I won a hand for the rest of the day. Before I go again, I should look at the starting hands in WLLHE for a loose table.

I managed to come out ahead by $20 at the cabin. I played well in the 2cd and 3rd game. I played like crap during the 1st.
