Very up and down the last couple of days. Dropped 3.5 buy-ins in two very short sessions last night and this morning, then clawed back 2.5 of them in my last two sessions. BR now ~$1,800.

Lately I seem to have gotten loads of mid/high pocket pairs, say 99-JJ. I still have real trouble playing them. They are probably too good to just set hunt, but I find them really difficult to play post-flop. Here's an example of playing TT as an overpair - is this just spew?

Villain was 19/17/11 over about 70 hands, with a 100% fold to 3bet (obv very small sample for fold to 3bet stat). On the turn I was thinking that he most likely had a pocket pair 22-JJ (QQ+ would have 4bet pre), a flush draw, or something like 45. Of that range only JJ, 88, 22 and 33 have me beat on the turn. It bothered me that a guy with an AF of 11 was check-calling the flop - he probably plays most weaker hands and draws fast - but if my range was right there were only 13 combos of hands that beat me and HEAPS of combos of the other hands, so I thought I was ahead more often than not.
