Eurolinx Thursday

I haven't played any poker to speak of in over 3 weeks. So I had a free afternoon on Thursday, and I signed onto Eurolinx. Playing two tables, 2/4 no limit, buying in with $250.

First table, I got involved in just a few hands, I'm up to about $280 when this one comes up. I know this player is very agressive, and he raises a lot. For some reason I thought I had the best hand, and it wasn't the case. His big bet on the flop looked like a continuation bet, so I called and the rest is history.

On the other table, things started well. This guy only bet $4 on the turn when he caught his flush. I was pretty sure he had the flush, but I had to call in hopes of hitting a boat:

I don't think I can be faulted for the way I played that hand, the guy called a big raise on the flop with 2nd pair, and caught one of his five out for two pairs on the turn.

I was getting busy with customers calling, so I decided to quit then and there, down $60 at this table, but down $310 for the session. And all of this in a span of about 25 minutes.
