Not sure if this is an optimal line to take. I’m not folding vs shorty but I think I lose value with this play…

This is what a terrible image can do for you. Villain is decent (at least seems ok. Haven't noticed him handing out any money and he's multitabling, playing taggy...). I thought I had sucked out on a set :

This was the toughest call of the day, strangely enough. Villain was a big big fish I'd been pounding HU on another table. It just seems like he has a flush here 1000000% of the time here... Thank God I can never fold a hand :

One thing I think I've gotten really good at is playing TPGK well OOP. This is definitely not an example of "optimal play" (although the results were fine) but, hey, sometimes, I just can't resist donking back at a donk :

One of the weirder things I do sometimes is float 2 villains with the intention of stealing the right turn or river… This time the steal didn’t work… But I guess I was value betting, right? Def biggest pot I’ve ever won where I couldn’t beat K-high…

And btw, thanks Mcatdog for the multi idea (while playing cash games). I finished 3rd out of 600-ish in the stars midnight 22$ for 1.2k

Like I said before, I just had a really shitty image at these tables (lots of 3-barrells that didn't work early in session ) so when I started running good nobody EVER folded anything against me...

2.5k profit tonight. Whee.

Tonight's totals : 1170 hands played, +1225$ (nl200)
