Agressive players

In my first STT of the day, I finish third. There was an agressive player at the table. Difficult to play against them sometimes. Mainly because they get lucky! There were 2 critical hands. I have AJ, 1,200 chips and raise to 600 chips. The agressive player calls and the flop is A76. I go all-in and he calls with A3. But, the turn is an ace and river a 7. We split the pot. I finally go out on a board of 722 when holding Q7. The aggressive players calls my all-in with J7 and hits the J on the river. I also had a little luck in this game. Won a hand with K-high straight flush, when holding the K and J too. Didn't win many chips with it though.

I win my second STT of the day. The defining hand was early in the game. I held pocket 2's and flopped a set. It held up against top pair and the flush draw, so I tripled up. Plain sailing from there.

Third game, I go out early. I hate going out in this manner. How on earth my opponent can call on the turn and river is beyond me.

4th game. Couldn't really get going in this one. Played a couple of big pots, but they ended in splits. Then, I played pocket 8's weakly and lost half my stack. I was in imminent danger of going out when the poker site went down. I guess I'll get my money back. That was a stroke of luck!

5th game. Good solid game. I finished 3rd. I was short stacked throughout and just limped into the money.

6th Game. Won this one. Nothing of any note happened.

7th Game. Another win. I flopped a straight towards the end of the first level and doubled up. From then on it was plain sailing.
