Operation: 'A' game

Not too much to report, other than the continuation of this never ending downswing.

I'm waiting on the 'mental game' Jered Tendler book which will hopefully help some aspects of my game. It should arrive in a week or so.

Other than that, need to start running better in general. Some of the favorites yesterday were running QQ on a 555Q board into 75 from the button, and running AQss into 9Tss on a 67ss2c 8s board. Though showing hands to alex makes me feel like I value town a lot in spots I think are pretty standard.

Lets Play A Game:

So here are some potential value town spots. Let me know which are value towning and which are legitimate! I won two out of the five at showdown, which two did I win?
