Let the sun shine!

Decided to stay home on Monday due to the severe weather although it might have been a mistake... I probably should have gone to somewhere like Viejas where they have a guarantee but probably had fewer players than normal... oh well will remember that for next time. I did go to Pechanga with my brother on Tuesday for 2 for 1 day. Again I started off very well... on one big hand the blinds were 50/100 and I had A spades and 10clubs. Several players limped in and the flop came 10/8/7 with two spades. I opened for 300, two guys to my left folded, the next guy raised to 700 and two more guys folded and it was back to me. I was trying to decide what he had and if I should come back over the top all in. I finally just decided to call and the next card came up a spade. I checked and surprisingly so did the other player (the spades must have scared him). The final card also came a spade giving me the nut flush. I checked and he bet out 600. I checked raised him to 1200 and after some thought he folded and showed a 9/J. He had flopped the straight but got scared by the flush enough for me to fill mine out. As it turns out I would have made more money if I had pushed, he would definitely have called but I certainly would have had to sweat out the spades before knocking him out. A while later I made a nice continuation bet even thought I did not hit my hand and won another decent pot. My downfall came later when I had KJ suited with 150/300 blinds and raised to 1200. Another player went all in for 2100 and I was all set to call him when another player called him first. I had to call getting 3 to 1 on my money. I missed the flop but the highest card on the board was a ten. The second guy bet another 1000 and I thought about laying it down but decided to see one more card. Again a blank and he bet 2000 forcing me to lay down my hand. Turns out he had A/10 and ended up winning the pot. It also cost me most of my stack. The last hand I played was funny because I had pocket 5's and went all in for 1000 (the big blind was 2000) two guys called and a third went all in and the other two folded. That was the best case scenario for me with 4 to 1 odds but only having to face down with one player. I said to him... win or lose thanks for the cover. Ends up he had pocket K's and I was done but it was a fun ending or as fun as possible when you lose. Handling some personal issues today but will be back in the saddle tomorrow or Friday.
