Today went very well. I 4-tabled 400NL for about 3 1/2 hours, ran hot, and made 2 grand.

Again i felt i played pretty well.

I am continuing to look for spots to get creative, and two of these spots came up today. This first one i am contemplating a river c/r because tomtom is pretty aggro and i'm pretty sure he's v-betting a Q here. However, i'm not exactly repping anything if i do, but is it still good just because his hand is probably so weak?

Here's one that i actually tried. I just met the opponent this session and he's been running pretty loose and aggro. I didn't c/r the flop because i wanted to rep a 4 as much as possible and maybe lead a K or Q on the turn as a semi bluff. Even though his turn bet doesn't really look like an overpair to me anymore, i still decided to follow through with the bluff.

Now for possible spews. I'm pretty sure this one is a spew, but i'm just curoius if you guys think this has merit. The opponent in this hand runs about 50/15 and isn't aggro. Also, he was unknown to me prior to this session. I've squeezed a few times at this table (note: i didn't notice him typing "jjj" prior to my push).

Actually, now that i think a bit more, this really really sucks. I'd still like to know what you guys think though. I have faced a few donks who have minraised in spots like this as an utter bluff.
