    Played for 1hr

    200 hands and won two buyins
    Pretty good for a small session.

    Big win of the session
    sick hand for me. His min bet on the turn looked to me like he had a heart in his hand so I raised. The 3bet confused me, I just thought he was probably bluffing/betting set,2pair or worst and called. C/C the river was the plan and was gonna pay off the flush/fullhose if he had it.

    played for 3.36 hours and got in 780 hands.
    Down half a buyin.The good old full house over full house that villain hits on the turn
    and a 30bb limp reraise all in that I called with A5s.
    Today my vpip was 18 and PFR was 16 compared to my usual 15ish 12ish
    I am really starting to iso limpers IN POSITION, so easy to play in POSITION. And winning small pots
    where I would usually give up.

    More 10nl
    played for an 1hr about 150ish hands and won 4bucks.
    Double barreled flop and turn with T high when I put villian
    on a flush draw. He called both streets then checked the river.
    I did not follow my read and checked back.
    He had a Thigh flush draw due to the board My kicker played and
    I won.
    Still learning

    I felt I played this hand incorrectly.
    the 3bettor in the hand was not doing much he was a 17/17 in 50 hands. The fish UTG was 89/13. So the BB 3bet range AQ+ JJ+.
    The mistake I feel I made is 4bet shoving. By doing this I am putting more than 150 BB with QQ as a coin flip. Not only that but his 4bet calling range being deep is probably only KK, AA and AK and against that range I am behind.

    He did have AKo and thank god I hit that damn river Q.
    Still if I just call and an A/K flops I am going to have to fold. And UTG plays so fishy and aggro that any aggression on a 578 board would also be bad news. Maybe if it UTG had not cold called then I should have just called preflop.
