Nice session last night. Played some 5nl (3 table for a bit and 2 for a while).
Up a buy-in and pretty happy overall. One table had a complete suicidal maniac/self flagellator at the table....He ran about 79/75/2.5. Just a moron.

However it was fun to watch b/c I saw people playing against him and they all knew just like me that he was bad, but none of them played against him properly...
I could tell that when he bet big (PSB, over shoves etc...) that he had something....a FD at worst, sometimes even bottom pair. But people would call his flop shoves with A high and of course they lost their stack to a middle pair w/ shitty kicker.....
He was up 3 buy-ins on the table.
I don't think I played a pot against anyone but him...I just value bet like crazy and in one hand he shoved the flop and I had TPTK which I felt was plenty....It was as he only had an OESD....

The difference is that I tightened up a bit more, and 3 bet him to isolate...Sometimes it sucked when I had to fold the flop or turn but I knew my patience would pay off with him....I probably lost more pots than I won but I won WAY more $$ than I lost...

I could have won more probably but in one hand I lead UTG w/ JJ and he 3bet me and I called...
Flop was KJX....he lead out strong and I figured, if he has a K he's not folding so I reraised about 4.5X....and he folded
I figured if he had a straight draw or K he would shove over but I guess he had air.
He left the table about even, only b/c people played him poorly and on his last hand he went all in with 85s and hit runner, runner, runner for a STRAIGHT FLUSH!
What a goof....I hope to find him again at the tables.

My cbets were working well, I found some nice flops where I could cbet w/ confidence, sometimes against 2 players...
So I am slowly but surely rebuilding the roll from by 7 BI slide....I hope to be back up in no time...

I will continue to play some 6max at 2nl and hope to get to 5nl 6max soon. I am getting more confident and patient but I still find it swingy for me and my earn rate is lower than at FR...
When I do move up, I will try to work on HU at 2nl....I am god awful at HU.
