Well, not a great day but not a bad one.....didn't stop the bleeding but did manage to staunch it by only losing $20 over 650 hands.

I made some decent plays at people with nothing that paid off at times, other times I had it....I managed to suck out once but still made a dodgy play at the end.

I also noticed I was playing scared due to the downswing and wanting to try and start heading back up in my graph and expecting every hand against me to have me beat...eg held AA, flop came 995, got lead out at and just went call/check/check to find myself against Q5o

Apart from that I still made some donkey plays and didn't trust my reads until too late again a few times, such as this hand where villain is 12/4:

Here my read once he min-c/r'd me was he was on AK/KK and both had me beat at that stage, so why do I call his raise...is it really possible to justify there by saying if I don't then everyone will start using that against me?

Was a check behind on the flop a better play to see what the turn brings, or does it just induce a bluff on the turn by something less than a K because I have shown weakness to it?
