I was playing a little off and was going to leave about ten minutes earlier but decided to give myself until 1 and call it a night. I thought I had learned by now not to play a bit tired. That was my first mistake and my second was a weak pre-flop raise but shorthanded I thought it would be enough to get rid of a few but not all.

I had a decent read on the villian. He had been raising 4xBB quite often and was bullying the table for a while. I had watched a hand about 20 minutes earlier in which he played similarly to this hand and went all in on the river with a stone cold bluff and lost his stack.

As for my own image, reflecting back there were two key hands and the only hands I had raised preflop during this session in which I backed off. One was poket Kings and the other 9s which I'll post later.

Here is the hand villian bluffed on that set my read for this hand:
