My poker life lately

Feb 20th-21st I went to Macau to play the baby dragon. One hand I made a mistake. I had 99 and I called three streets on a 8 high 2 card flush board. Villain had JJ and bet all the way. Soon I had JJ and on the cutoff. I raised the normal 2.5x there were 2 callers. Dong Guo the Chinese player that went deep in WSOP 2014 I think (see picture below) who I think is not a great player 3b me with KQ. I shoved and he called. K on the window. GG

Proceeded to play cash game at the Wynn. Got onto a fishy table. Fish #1 calls with anything. Flop K5x. He has K5 and checks. I have 22. Turn the gin card 2! Ok, I ran good. He checked, I bet, he min raised, another guy with K2 just called. I reraised big, fish calls, other player folds. River I jammed he called. Ship it! 11k pot!

Fish #2 calls the river 3/4 pot bet with top pair 9s 8 kicker on a 4 card straight board. He even commented that the bet was "small" so he called. I voiced out loud "WHAT A FISH", but I wasn't even in the hand. Immediately next hand I had AT late position I raised, he called. Flop was QJx rainbow. He donked bet a small bet, so I called. turn was the money card, K! He bet, I raised, he reraised, I shoved, he snapped. River blank and I showed nuts. He said he didn't see the straight. FISH! 25k pot.

Second day I ran bad, anyway this trip I just broke even. I came back and won 4 cash games in a row. Last night being the most fulfilling of all. I was in for 2k. I was down to 170, I grinded my way up to 4195. Nice comeback kid! :) All in all I played good poker and am feeling confident. This weekend I am going to Macau again!
