Ok, so me and some friends decided to have a live cash game. This was actually my first live cash game. We were 5 more or less sexy dudes who in various degrees plays poker. The lineup was as follows:

Me

Dannyboy, some dude who plays NL200, is really nice and likes to put people on hands. He can make some moves and is overall solid.

Some friend of Dannyboy who sucked, is kinda stupid and easy money.

HuggyBear, a friend of mine who’s really a good friend and someone I like to spend time with. It’d be worth to play with him even if I wasn’t making money out of it. He’s probably a slight winner on NL50, so he’s decent enough.

A friend of me and Huggybear, Simon, who’s basicly a rich kid who is still a good guy.

The blinds was 1/2 SEK, and 7 SEK = 1 USD, so it was something like a NL30 Game. I and Danny bought in for 200 bb (400 sek) and the others for around 100 bb. The game started out kinda slow, but after like 20 hands or so I pick up AKo in the sb and Simon raises and I reraise. Dannyboy flat calls my reraise and Simon folds. The flop is Q93 rainbow and I bet out, Simon calls. The turn is a brick and I check, be bets weak and I call. River is another brick and I figures that he probably puts me on an overpair now so I fire allin which is about the size of the pot and expect him to fold anything but a set (there wasn’t any resonable 2 pair hands he could have). He thinks for a long time and folds, I show my A-high and I feel like I’ve already won. A few hands later he floats me 2 streets and gets me of the monsterhand T-high with 5 high. I feel really down.

Next intressting hand is between me and him again. He calls utg, Simon completes the sb and I check 93o from the bb. Flop is 973 rainbow. Simon raises, I call with the intention to check/raise turn but unfortunatly Dannyboy reraises strong. Simon folds and I think for a while and decides to call since he really could have anything. The turn brings another 7 and now I feel that I’m behind. I don’t think he’d have 77 since quads are kinda unlikely. I have a 9 and a 3 so sets are unlikely too. The problem is that he could have 97 but I feel that it’s more likely that he has something like an OESD or A9. I check, he bets really strong and I push allin for like 100bb more. He thinks for a while and folds, I show my hand again and now I can tell that he’s not very happy with me. He says that it was a great play and whatnot and I feel really good. We play some more and I end up stacking him with Queens vs a OESD on a T9rag flop where he tilted kinda hard. I end the evening up about 600 SEK, that’s like 40 USD or something which feels kinda patetic for an evening of poker, but since it’s like 3 100bb buy-ins I guess I can’t really say anthing than that it was really good.

Dannyboy and the stupid one was down a lot. Huggybear was down a little and Simon won a few 100 SEK.
