Mar 14 evening. I played a long session (1100+ hands) after my Wednesday night seminar. I stumbled out of the gate and struggled through most of it, but at the end I was able to record a profit of $11 for a measly +1 PTBB/100 hand win rate.

I played another long session after I went home, trying to get more positive results after a mediocre session. I was able to win $74 over almost 1.8k hands for +8.25PTBB/100

Hands from the 1st session:

I guess I shouldn't call the preflop reraise at 1st place, but chris14a was a pretty lousy player (see hand 907018) so I decided to stick around. I flopped a combo draw, but I was pitched against a set again. Since I had no fold equity I probably should save myself $5.4 by just calling turn.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?907014
Just an unfortunate situation maybe? I flopped a straight draw and turned the flush draw as well, so I decided to push. But my opponent had TP + and the better heart draw, and I didn't improve anyways.

Lightsbane and I had some history, so I decided to check-raise all-in with AK in this blind vs blind battle. He thought for a long while before calling. If I were him I would have snap-called.

I was fucking underflushed again. Why does it happen so often even shorthanded?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?907017
2 pairs vs flopped straight, and I didn't improve. I don't think I could play it another way given that my opponent is somewhat short.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?907018
Finally some positive. AA vs TT, opponent was quite bad and he couldn't fold on a K-high board.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?907019
Same opponent who overflushed me a few hands ago. Here the turn Jack gave me a straight and opponent a set, and he couldn't get away.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?907020
I caught my set on the turn when opponent went apeshit. IMO it's twice as likely he has 44 or 22, rather than 88, so it was an easy shove for me.
Slowplaying a set -- he deserves it.

Some fucking retard played KK passively -- I don't know what he's trying to achieve, especially with that 1 dollar donk bet on the flop (into a $10 pot). Regardless he couldn't avoid going broke against my AA.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?907023
A huge semibluff -- I had a few of these tonight. I called Lightsbane's preflop reraise because I was in position. I flopped a nice draw, so I decided to call again. I didn't hit turn, but opponent showed weakness, and I pushed him off the pot by going all-in. Afterwards he said he missed with his AK, which was believable. He was still ahead of me though.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?907025
Another bluff. I thought opponent had a stronger ace, but the river 3rd diamond provided me with a perfect bluffing opportunity. Look at his chat.


Hands from the latter session.

Huge 3-way pot. My table image was loose at that time, but here I had a set, and two people called my huge turn bet with TPTK and a combo draw, respectively. My hand held up for a net gain of 2 buy-ins.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?907028
I just suffered from a big beat (907034, see below) when I was next dealt QTs on an AKQ flop. I min-raised as a semibluff and was called by original raiser. But I turned trip Queens and proceeded to double up when opponent paid me off with TP (and same kicker).

http://www.pokerhand.org/?907029
QQ, flopped set 3-way. I went for the value check on the turn, but in retrospect I should have led out again, just to see whether TheBigCream would stick around and call a $7 or $8 bet. More importantly, had aaza check turn and river the flush I would have no one to blame but myself.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?907030
Opponent must be putting me on air. How else could he justify calling all-in on turn with 6 outs?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?907031
Set with 55 vs two pairs, all-in on turn. Limping with 85 offsuit preflop -- opponent deserves it.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?907032
At this table, devinr22, IggyTT and I were all LAGGing it up. Here I flopped a combo draw and raised with it, but IggyTT 3-bet me. I decided that my hand was too good to fold so I called. When he checked turn I sensed weakness, and I pushed him off by going all-in with my bottom pair.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?907033
On this night I was pwned by blackfruit, who loved to raise preflop. Twice I chose to clash with him (see below), and both times he had AA. Here however I pushed him off a pot with just a baby flush draw.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?907034
I usually don't play AJ like this, especially OOP, but opponent appeared to be loose-aggressive, so I decided to clash with him. Unfortunately my timing was quite off.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?907035
Yikes. I failed to believe in him again, and I paid rather dearly for it.
