How can you swim without the Guilding Light?

Just came home from a swim. I had a hit with Ben Leung at Princes, then drove to Crown for something to eat. All of the sudden, I felt like having a late night swim. Call up Master Gee, but he felt too tired. So I can only swim alone.

It was a quick session. Not many tables opened, and most of them weren't full. I sat down in a table but playing 7 handed. I bought in for $200, there was another short stack, around $150+. The others were all $400 to $800 in front of them. It will be a tough game, so need to follow Daniel Sklansky's strategy. "Put your stack in at the right time and no post flop play!"

As usual, every pot was raised to $15+ and several callers. I didn't play a hand in the first orbit. Then in the CO, dealt KcJc. UTG+1 pop to $15 and 2 callers. I called, button fold, SB called, BB folded. Flop Qd Jh 8c rainbow. All checked to me, and I took a stab at the pot, betting $30. BB called, plus a MP also called. Turn 9c. Now I picked up a FD + GS, but 4 straight cards on board. BB checked, MP bet $40, I called, BB check-raised all-in for $300+, MP also called. With $150+ behind me, I decided to fold. River blank. MP had J 10, and BB had Ac 10c. So I were drawing to 2 outs.

I kept on folding, as the table was a bit wild. Dealt AQ and pop to $15. No help on the flop and fold. Then had 77, called $15 raise and facing 3 over cards, folded on the flop. Top up another $100. Somehow the 4 and 7 has been following me the whole night. Can't remember how many K4, Q4, J7, 10 7 I had tonight. Then in the BB, dealt 9 10, this time only 4 way limp pot. Obviously I check. Flop 78J with 2 hearts. I lead out for $10, and took it down. Bugger!

1 round later, dealt QQ in MP. UTG+1 raised to $15, I pop to $40. Button called so did UTG, 3 way action. Flop A K 6. UTG check, I check, button bet, UTG called, I folded. Most likely the button had an Ace, as UTG check/fold his turn bet. Now stack down to like $160 and dealer called for time charge. 2 more players were leaving and I decided to leave as well. So overall down like $150 and played only 1 hour. Although I lost, the table was tough, but no poker professor like Sam Fishy in it. As no one giving poker lesson, you can always focus and let your cards do the talking. Just wish the Master was there and guide me to poker Enlightenment!
