    My online grinding has REALLY been taking a hit lately. Summer here, playing lots of sports, new house prep and grinding live have all been a factor. I'd like to have some reasonable balance of like 2k hands a week online at least and maybe 2-3 life sessions a month.

    Went to the casino today. Another shortish session, 4.5 hours and up $1050

    20 visits
    $22,800
    Total hours: 114 hours
    Hourly: $200
    Hands: 5700 hands (50 hands/hour)

    I was playing more aggressive today than other days. Running a few bluffs. All hands were at 2/5.

    1. Table is 5 handed, I open CO to $15 with . I had been opening a ton while the table was just starting and still short. BTN decentish reg 3b me to $35, I call.

    Flop ($77) - - I check, villain bets $45, I c/r to $130, villain calls.
    Turn ($337) - - - I bet very small $75, villain folds.

    2. EP limps, MP limps, two other limps, I check in BB.
    Flop ($30) - - ck, I ck, utg cbets $20, MP calls, I make it $65. Both players call.
    Turn ($225) - - UTG is short with $183 behind. MP has like $600 behind. I bet $183, UTG calls all-in after tanking and says "time to go home", MP tank calls.
    River ($774) - - I bet $150, MP folds. I was pretty confident I was good, but UTG shows

    3. This hand is pretty merged. Good blockers, and I think all of his flop b/c range I can take him off by the river.

    3 limps EP, I limp behind on button . I have been doing a bit of limping behind on button lately, cause ppl are just so bad and make big mistakes, especially OOP.

    Flop ($30) - - MP bets $12, HJ calls, and the sizing looks very weak to me. I make it $45 expecting FD's to peel, QJ/JT to peel, Kx to peel. regardless of what he peels, I think I can take him off most of his range by river. MP calls, HJ folds.
    Turn ($132) - - ck, I bet $85, MP calls. At this point I was fairly certain it was Kx or Kxdd or some other FD. I was mildly concerned he was slow playing K9, but that's the only hand I expect he will play this way and c/c a brick river.
    River ($302) - - bink my two pair. I bet $235 (my plan for any brick river), and villain folds and shows

    In retrospect, given I was so confident about getting a fold in this spot to this sizing, I should probably value town here and bet like $135ish. It's not balanced at all, but no need to be vs some of these guys.

    4. This hand was versus a nit. I actually hero called him earlier with A high and he had a set. I didn't know he was a nit, but later someone else referred to him as a nit.

    3 limpers around, I complete in SB
    Flop ($20) - - I donk $18 into field, only nit calls on btn
    Turn ($56) - - I bet $19, nit calls
    River ($94) - - I overbet $135 and was pretty confident I'd get a fold, since flop had very little possible air. Villain folds.
