When I have less than 30 buyins, I turn into scared weak tight wuss, get pushed around and it's pretty uncomfortable. Also it increases chances of going on tilt. It's psychological thing.When I'm rolled properly (that is 30 buyins, not 15), I am the guy who takes big stabs at pots, executes multistreet bluffs, makes speculative calls to break some deep stack, 3bets with crap, puts most pressure when in hand and tilts the hell out of opponents.
Today's session: net +$40, 1.5k hands. Fired 2nd barrel twice, got called once. Laid down overpair JJ and QQ twice, against turned trips then another one against flopped straight. Those two folds saved about 100BB total of my cash.
Started well, I trapped some laggy monkey, when he was pounding at me everytime I check, on turn I put him AI but he folded (he definitely would call with KJish crap or even PP)
Hand 1:
I open UTG with AJs, got called with 5(!) spots.
Pot $5.
Board J66r. I flopped fairly strong hand but I don't want to play it for stacks against tight players, so I check, repping whiffed AK and see the action, checks around to monkey lagtard who bets $3. I iso-minraise to $6. When I get cold called by some tightass here, I have to put him on strong hand like 6x or QQ, because they slowplay everything. Everyone folded to lagtard who thought and smoothcalled.
Turn 2, rainbow.
I check again, like I give up. He bets $7 (standard line for him..."you check? I bet!"), I put him AI, he insta-mucks.
Against ordinary calling station it would be bet/folding on 3 streets but this guy was very aggro on button and would take a stab at this spot like 80%.
Another hand I flopped set of Jacks and got pwnt by flopped flush.
Hand 2:
UTG I open with JJ, get several calls behind me.
Flop AhJh3h. I bet 2/3 to build pot and protect. Got smoothcalled by UTG+1 (horrible player, we are both 140BB deep).
Turn Qs, I c/c $1 from him being worried about completed gutshot and possible flush. I also don't want to get into tough decision when he shoves deep against my turn big bet.
River blank. I block-bet $8 into $14 pot and he pops me to $24. I puke. I called and he took down huge pot with KhTh. Now I think it was not a great call, I had history with that villain and he won't raise that river that deep without a nuts. He would probably call with 2pair/underset/1pair even straight and fold his weaker holdings.
Then AA vs KK - villaind smoothcalled my 3bet, AI on q-high flop, river K. Blah.
------
AA vs QQ, I stack other deep villain. Goot.
------
T8s, I open -raise and flop Queen high. I c-bet/call, turned OESD and check/called his weak bet. River completes my straight and I bust his slowplayed set for full buyin.
-------
I openraise MP with KsQs. Button calls, BB calls.
Flop is Ac4d6d. BB checks, I insta-PSB , they both folded.
Fnord said, that KQ is 3-card hand....agree 100%.
-----
I open UTG with 44 on tight table. 2 callers behind.
Flop is A56r. I c-bet standard 2/3 pot, MP folds, button thinks....and mingayraises. I 3bet rebluff making it $9 and he insta-mucks.
------
JdTd, I open-raise UTG to mixup my play & win some extra pots on very passive weaktight table, button flatcalled.
Flop 279r, I c-bet my gutshot, he thinks and calls.
Turn K, making backdoor spade draw. I Insta-fire 2nd barrel.
He thinks until the time is out and calls. River 3rd spade, check check, his A9 is good. I made note on him "calls turn bets light", it'll help to destack him later.
Funny hand:
7d6d OTB, I iso-raise deep weaktight limper. He calls.
Flop Qd 3c 4s, I flop zilch (backdoor FD and SD)
check/c-bet/call. I put him on weak queen, some set, draw or pair.
Turn 8d. Not a good bluffcard but it improved my hand. Now I have combo draw and I check behind, too deep for betting and risking huge CR. I was also pretty aggro on that table, and it's fair chance they are getting sick of my bets and raises and are ready to call me down with total crap. I decided to make my hand and try to outdraw likely pair of set/queens.
River is 8h, check/ check. He had 75 of spades. MHIG 
Other hand:
QJo, table broke down to 5 players, I open on button $1. BB calls.
552 on flop, he check/calls my c-bet.
K on turn. He checks, I pot, he folds.
Conclusion:
Generally A,K,Q are great cards to 2nd-barrel, except against some really stubborn players.
