Saturday night I played PL Holdem and managed to turn February into a winning month.

It was heads up and he had KK on the button, and I had A9o. He called the small blind. I raise ($10) made the pot $20. He called the $10 and raised the pot ($30). I called the $30 and raised the pot ($90). I called the $90. Pot size before the flop was $180.

Flop is 9, x, x. I bet $180 and he calsl my bet of $180 and raise the pot ($540). I call the $540, and raise to put him all-in. (about $300 more).

When we flipped our cards over, the pot was about $1,400. He rolls KK, and I show A9o. He breathes a sigh of relief when the turn cards brings no help. I had an 11% chance of winning at that point. River was a 9, making my (improbable) set.

There are so many things I did wrong on that hand. With that many reraises, I should have known he had AA or KK or QQ. However, as it was late, I wasnt thinking clearly, and I had him on AKs. I got lucky.

I won $1,635. Obviously, it would only be $235 if I lost that pot. Actually, we probably would have kept playing and then who knows? Maybe I would lose. But I didnt, and I bagged my biggest winnings ever for a cash game of poker and reversed my February fortunes.
