Overall: +$27.10 in 2049 table minutes
I probably only played a B game today. There are a number of spots where I should have folded, knowing I was beat, but decided to call.
Hand 1: I raise AJs from the small blind after three limpers. The flop is a 5-handed J53 with a flush draw and I lead out. There's one caller and an aggressive player raises. The aggressive player has been playing pretty erratically, pushing weaker hands and nothing hands and so on. I 3-bet him and get heads up. The turn is an ace of flush, and I continue to push. Now villain raises. I'm not folding top two here, so the question is whether I should continue to push for value or aim to get to showdown. After some deliberation, I decide the get-to-showdown route is better because he's not all-crazy-all-the-time. I check-call the meaningless offsuit 6 on the river and he turns over AK with the K of flush and I take down the pot.
Hand 2: I raise AJo UTG and get coldcalled in two spots plus BB. The flop is KQ8. It's checked to me, I check, and watch it get checked through. This is not a good spot to c-bet because the coldcalls are very bad news for me on this board. I'm actually a little surprised it got checked through. THe turn is an A and it's checked to me again. This time, I bet and called in two spots. The river is a 3 and I bet again, getting called in both spots again. I beat a worse ace (A4o) and a K (BB's hand).
Hands 3-4: From the "keeping me down" file. I have J3s in the BB and flop two pair. Value bet, value bet, and got checked-raised on the river by someone hitting a gutshot. In another hand, I raise AJo and flop my ace. Value bet, value bet, river a jack that gives villain a gutshot straight.
I'm a little tired, so I won't post any other hands tonight.
