Transperancy and suck-age Part 1 (the first hour)

Ok, I have said before that the $42k is basically being right on 20 hands and not getting unlucky.  Let's put that to the test.  I will post my non-trivial hands from today and you can judge...

Level I has little action.  Made a straight and already had no action, a bet results in folds.  Not even worth discussing for 60 chips.
Ditto for TT on a flop of 9h5c4c and I bet 2/3 pot and get 3 folds.
Ditto for AQ folded to me on button, blinds fold.
Ditto for QQ from EP (all folds) and
AQ UtG (all folds).
AQ again only in BB this hand.  I call and the flop is 828 so I fold to his c-bet.  (No 3bet with AQ OOP in L1.)
AJ now in SB and folds around, I raise, BB folds.
(4 decent hands in a row, no fireworks.)


Folded to me in SB with A9, call.  Flop Ace. Bet and BB folds. 

First interesting hand (easy fold)

5 interesting hands so far, but also got dealt more than the usual share of playable hands.

Rooster had an interesting comment on Hand #1. WHY? I totally agree. Why call an 8x raise with AK (the WORST hand to call with here)?

IF I hit the A or K I could be against a set. If he has QQ, then if I hit, I wont get paid off.

Bad call me.
