I played a second session today, and it went worse than the first. I like one-tabling much more than two tabling, but I'm not doing so well at it. At least, the results are going down even though I feel my play is going up. I call it variance. It's only 4 losing sessions in a row and I'm still up overall, but it's a little bit annoying.

Hand 1: I open-raise A7o from CO and get called by SB. BB 3-bets it, I call, and SB caps. BB is an aggressive player, but not stupid, but SB is a bit crazy. The flop is AJ9 and crazy leads out. BB raises and I make the easy fold to avoid AJ going nuts against J9.

Hand 2: Here's an interesting KK hand. It's raised ahead of me and I 3-bet from the button. We see the flop heads up. The flop is AQ2 with a flush draw. Villain donks into me. He is an aggressive player who can be donking a lot of hands. It could be an ace, a queen, a flush draw, a straight draw, or maybe even JJ. I decide that it's often enough not an ace that I can proceed with the hand. The debate was between calling and raising. I decide to go with the "free showdown" option of raising the turn because he's not crazy. If he has a draw, he'd be forced to call the raise, but if he 3-bets me I can easily dump my hand. So the I raise the offsuit 7 turn card and check behind on the ace river. He turned over QJo. I wonder if a river value bet could have been a good play...

Hand 3: I raise JTo from the button against a poor playing opponent. Sadly, both blinds call and it's 4 to the flop. Happily, I flop 978 for the nut straight, though there's a flush draw. The poor playing villain donks into me, there's a caller, and I raise. The poor playing villain 3-bets and the guy in the middle coldcalls. At this point, it's appropriate to say a couple words about poor playing villain. I have seen him completely overplay draws (gutshot and flush draws) on both the turn and the river. He may also overplay weak made hands, but I haven't had much verification on this just yet. The reason I wanted to isolate with him is because I know he's capable of spewing a whole lot of chips my way if I flop anything decent (like a pair of tens). I decide that it's likely that any hand he's betting now will also be bet on the turn if I just call, so I call intending to raise any non-flush card. Sadly, the turn is a 4 of flush and he leads (as expected). The middle player folds and I just call down. He turns over K7s and I lose another hand.

Hand 4: I raise 88 from the small blind against a limper and we a 3-handed flop. It comes down 982 with a flush draw. Bet-call-call. The turn is a 6 bringing a second flush draw. Bet-call-call. The river is a 3 of the first flush and I bet and get raised. The phone rang and I accidentally clicked raise while reaching for the phone. Fortunately, he only calls and shows me a J7s for the flush, instead of capping me (I'd probably fold to the cap at least 75% of the time...).
