Bad luck

Played in a home game Friday night, a little $0.10/$0.20 action with $20 max buyin. Doesn't sound like much, but at the end of the night there was over $200 on the table and a couple pots went over $50. I started off decent, up and then even when I wake up to pocket 7's under the gun. I raise to $0.60 and get reraised to $1.20. There are two callers behind me and I decide to gamble a bit and call. Flop is 875 and I am glad I called. I bet $7.50 and the reraiser goes all in. Next player folds and then the player to my right pushes all in as well. Without thinking I call and realize I am beat with a set of 8's. First all in had AK (why he went all in, I will never know), but I don't get my case 7 or my straight to chop the pot so I have to rebuy. I start grinding my way back up and am up to $27 from my $20 rebuy when I get AJ in the big blind. There is a raise preflop only double so I call. Flop is 9TQ and the button decides to go all in after me and the other player in the hand check. I am not sure what the player to my left will do, but I seriously consider calling. There were two diamonds on the board, but my A was a diamond and all I needed was a K or an 8. It would put my entire stack, but if my other opponent calls, I would triple up. I decide to lay the hand down and the all in is called. I don't remember what they had, but they both had me at the time. They decide to run it twice and and the first run the K falls and the second run, the 8 falls. So much for not chasing the straight. I end up cashing out with $20 so I ended the night down $20, mostly from the set over set.

Next night decide to hop on Party Poker and played an $11 3 table tourney and a $0.25/$0.50 NL game. Knocked out of the tourney in 14th place, but end up making $35 on the NL game after calling a bluff to the river with middle pair.

Results for the weekend: +$15 for 7 hours of poker... I won't be quitting my day job.
