Had a good session 2nite (this morning...)

I seriously don't know how ppl like Irisheyes do it. I played 660 hands and felt content to stop. Not only that, but it actually felt long...

Took my first crack back at nl400 and was amazed at how fishy it was. There was a strong tagg who was running well at my nl400 table, but as soon as he left, the game was on.

Were it not for these two hands, I'd have booked a nice win for my session :

I also ran into some coolers and got max value from some other hands. Here's are a couple example of losing the min and winning the max (yay trying to boost my ego after losing money when playing well...) :

A couple hands that I like how I played (not just cuz of results…)

Villain and I have been tangling regularly somewhat deepstacked. He likes to float and take shots at multi-way pots in position.

Pulling the trigger on the 3rd bullet was tough here, but I don’t mind getting called since he’ll most likely call me down much thinner if he sees the shit I’m raising and 3-bulleting :

When a strong player is playing back at you I like taking this line with whiffed AK once in a while. I probably would have called a river bet by him fwiw…
