I played an interesting session last night. I marked a bunch of hands for observation later and may post some here or in the BC.

I was up marginally, so I'm happy. It would have been much better had I not misplayed a hand badly. I knew I was behind on the turn and he checked the 3rd spade on the river. I tried to bluff at it repping the flush and he called w/ a set of Q's...
People are much nittier in general at 5nl. Sure there are some maniacs but I have ssen so many just flat call QQ in the blinds or limp AK in EP...it's been a real eye opener to see what hands they turn over sometimes.

Just working on folding really....and on cbetting proper boards. I probably cbet too much and possibly fold too often when I check the flop. Most of the players will bet at me when I check...I need to watch they're hands w/others to see what they are floating with.

One interesting spot...I had a perpetual blind stealer on my right. 3 rounds in a row he tried stealing from the SB. Everytime he did, I 3bet him and he folded. The interesting thing is that each time I had a genuine 3betting hand. I believe I had AJs the first one, 2nd one was 99 and the last hand was KK. I was just praying that he would get tired of me 3betting and that he would fire back at me on the 3rd try, but unfortunately he folded vs my KK....oh well.

I feel as though I am getting my head around this again...although I am still annoyed at my cbetting. I am hoping to maybe get a membership somewhere for a month (like grinderschool) and see what they say. I just seem to get called too much and I have a hard time 2nd barreling. Its tough to put them on a range and when I only have 99 and there is a Q or K on board its tough to fire a second round.
