i break even!

800 hands tonight and -$16!... better than losing more i guess...


**********************************************************************
villain here was a 26/10 type if i remember correctly...

i chose to simply call his flop raise bc the flop was relatively dry, and i planned on CRAI the turn

i think if the turn got worse i would have just bet/fold, but it seemed innocuous so i elected to check. his turn bet seemed strange to me bc he bet half his remaining stack, though in relation to the pot it was a normal bet - basically his bet committed him.

now that i think about it... it's hard for my raise to get called my worse... or is it?... are AK/KQ type hands in there?... actually crap now that i look at the hand again... EP limp calls... that's almost always a pair... and it's AK/KQ like... never... i think i just answered my own questions and i hope i'm not being results oriented here...

had no reads on this guy before this hand... but i was happy to get the money in on that turn vs a shortie... needless to say... when i saw his cards i thought "what the *#ck" and made a nice little note for him. seriously, who calls a raise from sb w 97o?

this hand i'm not too sure if i played right either. the villain had been 3betting me a good amount from the blinds, so i decided to try a 4bet bluff. i rarely rarely try stuff like this, but it makes me angry when people 3b me a lot from the blinds so decided to step out of the comfort zone. not sure if this was horrible or not...

i checked the flop behind bc i didn't see much chance of taking the pot down on that low flop.

on the turn i contemplated pushing the rest in (my thinking was that AK/AQ type hands usually would have just pushed pf, bc playing a 4b pot OOP (out of position) is ridiculously hard) but alas, i decided i was just a big weenie and checked...
