Monday poker - crazy, crazy table

For the second week in a row, I went to the local bar for their $40 tournament. There were 45 players, and I busted out around 25th... I started well, but I committed too many chips on 22, and A10 and got burned.

The first cash table was full (10 players), but 3 other guys wanted to play, so we sat down with $100 each. I lost it on the first hand, trying to buy a pot with 22, on a J 10 5 board. But Phil had pocket fives, so he wasn't going to fold...

I then lost another $100 when this really agressive player, who kept raising to $25, $50 or $75 pre-flop (we were playing 1/2 NL) raised to $50, and I went all-in with AcJc... he called with 77 and I didn't hit.

About 30 minutes later, I lost another $100 when I called an all-in with 8d8c against a very loose player who was holding Ad4d... cards came J 10 A A 4... just my luck - giving him a full house.

I thought about leaving, but decided to try again with my last $140, since the table was now full, and there were three easy targets. But of the three easy targets, 2 were really annoying - so it was painful to sit there. I knew I couldn't make any moves with such a loose table, I basically had to sit and wait for a hand.

My first big pot of the comeback went like this... I'm under the gun with AcQc, and I just flat call the $2. 4 other players call, and it comes around to the big blind (one of the aforementionned easy targets). He raises to $75, leaving himself about $90. I know his style, and I know he likes to raise mediocre hands. So I re-raise $90 more, everyone else folds, and he calls with AJ. My hand held very well, with the cards coming out Qh 8c 6c Kd 10c - nut flush!

I won a $250 pot when a loose player raised pre-flop to $35, 2nd player called, and I went all-in for $110 total with AcKh. The first player folded, but the second called with Ah10c, and my hand held up.

I then sat through about 2 hours of nothing, until the very last hand of the night.
The same loose player makes it $35, an idiot calls, and a player who had busted out of the tourney right on the bubble (and joined us about 20 minutes earlier) went all-in for $120. I held 9d9h. I knew he was just looking to get all his money in and gamble, but I was afraid of being re-raised by the loose player. I decided to call anyways, and the loose player and the idiot just called too. So now there's $480 in the pot. Flop comes down 4d 4c 2h. Loose player checks, idiot checks, the other guy is already all-in. I push all-in for my last $120... loose player folds (he had 6s7s for a gut shot), idiot also folds. The other shows AhQc, and doesn't hit so I picked up this big pot.

With it, I managed to avoid a losing night, making $165 profit at the cash table, so $125 for the night.
