294 hands, +$49.45

I really want to get my ass into gear, but circumstances haven't allowed it. I've been available the last 4 hours, but there just isn't any action at Stars. I shouldn't make excuses though.

Here's a hand from today that made me pat myself on the back:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

BB ($130.75)
UTG ($18.40)
MP ($65.30)
CO ($24.75)
Hero ($93.30)
SB ($49.60)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 8, 7.
3 folds, Hero raises to $2, 1 fold, BB calls $1.50.

Flop: ($4.25) 2, T, 3 (2 players)
BB bets $3.5, Hero raises to $10, BB folds.

Final Pot: $11.25

Villain was 26/21/4.5 and attempted to steal blinds 42% of the time. I suspected that his call preflop might have been a float, with the intention of stealing on the flop. Even if that wasn't the case, I think that most of his range missed this board.

I usually don't "make moves" like this, but I think that I might be gaining a better feel for reading opponents. 95% of the time I'd probably fold this on the flop without giving my opponent's range or tendencies any consideration. But this time, I smelled a rat. I just hope that I continue to pick my spots well and don't develop FPS.
