Some more Day 1 notes and hands

No celebs or "name" players at my table, and hardly any nearby either.

Some hands...

I have JJ in middle position with about 12,000 when the blinds are 50-100. A guy in early position and about the same size stack as me raises to 200, one calls, and I call. Flop is 578 rainbow, and original raiser bets 200. Caller folds and I raise to 700, original raiser calls. Turn is a T, opponent bets out 300 and I call. River is a 4, opponent bets out 1000 and I call. He shows A9, and I win.

Blinds are 100-200 and I have AdAc in middle position with about 14,000. One limper, I raise to 800, another behinds me calls, bb with about 10,000 calls, limper calls. Flop is 2s7s8s, checked to me and I bet 800. Only the bb calls. Turn is an offsuit 8, BB checks, I check. River is a 2, BB bets 1500, I call, he shows KcQs and I win.

Blinds are 100-200 with a 25 ante. I have 7d6d in middle position with about 17,000 and limp after another limper with about 6000, another limps behind and bb is in. Flop is JdTd6x. First limper bets 650, only I call. Turn is the Ad, limper checks and I bet 1700, he calls. River is an offsuit Q, limper checks, I bet 1500, limper calls, I show my flush and it is good.

Blinds are 100-200 with and I have about 13,000 in front of me and pick up QQ in middle position. One before me limps, I raise to 800, and guy with about 25,000 reraises to 2,500, BB calls, original limper folds, and I fold.

Blinds are 150-300 with a 25 ante and I have about 14,000 and pick up KdJd in the cutoff. It is folded to me and I raise to 1000, button (the newbie guy from the previous post) calls, blinds fold. Flop is JT8 rainbow, I bet 800, button calls. Turn is a 6, I bet 1000 and button calls. River is a 4, I bet 1700 and button calls. I show, he shows QT and my hand is good.

Blinds are 200-400 with a 50 ante and I pick up AhKc in early/middle position with about 16,000 in front of me. Up to this point, all of my raises and bets have been getting pretty good respect. UTG, who has been playing some power poker reraising all-in a few times with a shortish stack, has about 10,000 in front and raises to 1250. I re-raise to 3750, two people behind me with about 10,000 each think and sweat for about two minutes each before folding. UTG looks disgusted and calls. Flop is Q83, UTG still looks disgusted and checks, I bet enough to put UTG in and he insta-mucks.

Blinds are 100-200, I have about 19,000 in front and pick up 88 in middle position. UTG, who has about 30,000 and has been raising preflop often up to this point raises to 850. I call, as does the bb. Flop is T93. Everyone checks. Turn is a T, bb checks, UTG bets 1200, I call and bb folds. River is a 6, UTG bets 1200 and I call. He shows AK and my hand is good.

There were some other hands that I raised preflop and I either won the blinds or folded on the flop or turn, hopefully losing the least amount I could in those situations.

I hope day 2 goes just as well.
