Played at Billy's on Sat. night. I played reasonably well, but not aggressive enough. One particular hand is troubling me. I called a raise from Billy with AhJd. (I called as Billy routinely raised when opening pot, so I could be ahead). Flop came Kd Jd 9d. Billy bet $10 and I called. Here I was afraid that he had my second pair beat, but I was going to hit my nut flush 31% of the time. I didn't think about the chance that I was ahead. That was bad thinking. Anyway, I called Billy's turn bet of $10 and folded to his $20 bet on the river. The river was laying me 3.3:1 So I need not win too often for it to pay off. Also, Billy probably figured me for a missed flush draw I probably had the correct odds to call. Where I really made the mistake though was in not raising the flop bet. At that point, I had two cards to come so I had pretty good odds. It may have slowed Billy down. I have to play a bit more aggressively against Billy. Against Billy I need to tighten up and be more aggressive.

Online, I just spewed chips last night. I wasn't thinking, that is for sure. If I want to reach my goal of winning $500, I cannot play loose, multi-table and make poor game selection.
