This was a high variance day. I ran into a very aggressive table and came away only ahead a tiny bit. The cards did not cooperate with me so much. I made a couple bad calls, which is disappointing.

Hand 1: I've played with the betting villain before. My notes say that calling down is best because he has a raise/fold style of play. This means that raising will make him fold worse hands, but he will 3-bet better ones (and a few worse ones, but not enough of them).

Preflop: Hero is Button with 7s, Ad.
3 folds, Hero raises, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: (6 SB) Tc, As, 3h (3 players)
SB checks, BB bets, Hero calls, SB calls.

Turn: (4.50 BB) 2c (3 players)
SB checks, BB bets, Hero calls, SB calls.

River: (7.50 BB) Ks (3 players)
SB checks, BB bets, Hero calls, SB folds.

Results:
BB has Td Th (three of a kind, tens).
Hero has 7s Ad (one pair, aces).

Hand 2: Villain was pretty aggressive, close to a maniac. I decided that I was more or less going to show down this hand, so I limped it in to hope to get to showdown somewhat cheaply. This is another spot where I could have check-raised the turn. However, I was very certain he was going to bet the river for me and felt like he would call the river check-raise with a wide wide range of hands (given that he called down a river check-raise before with a low pocket pair).

Preflop: Hero is SB with 5d, Ac.
4 folds, Hero completes, BB raises, Hero calls.

Flop: (4 SB) 9c, Jd, 2s (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, Hero calls.

Turn: (3 BB) Ad (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, Hero calls.

River: (5 BB) 7h (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, Hero raises, BB folds.

Hand 3: I chose not to c-bet the flop because it was very very likely to get called by both players, if not raised by someone, and I doubt K-high was the best hand. Since I didn't have position, I couldn't even get myself a free card. So I checked to see if I could get to the turn for free. I wasn't sure if I should raise the river. That bet is sometimes a desperation bluff, which means my raise won't get called and the player behind me was very very loose.

Preflop: Hero is CO with Qs, Kc.
1 fold, MP raises, Hero 3-bets, Button calls, 2 folds, MP calls.

Flop: (10.50 SB) 5h, 3s, 4s (3 players)
MP checks, Hero checks, Button checks.

Turn: (5.25 BB) Ts (3 players)
MP checks, Hero checks, Button checks.

River: (5.25 BB) Qd (3 players)
MP bets, Hero calls, Button calls.

Results:
MP has Tc 9c (one pair, tens).
Hero has Qs Kc (one pair, queens).
Button has Kd Th (one pair, tens).

Hand 4: I like getting full value out of my hand. It turns out I had to dodge a number of bullets for me to collect it.

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Tc, Kc.
Hero raises, 1 fold, CO 3-bets, Button calls, 2 folds, Hero calls.

Flop: (10.50 SB) Td, 4d, 7c (3 players)

Results:
Hero has Qd Jd (straight, queen high).
Button has 5c 5d (one pair, fives).

Hand 6: Here is an overlimp that I might not have done before. I usually have Q9o as my weakest hand, but I'm trying to widen that limping range just a little bit more. Getting no callers at all was a bit of a surprise.

Preflop: Hero is Button with Qd, 8c.
UTG calls, MP calls, CO calls, Hero calls, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (6 SB) 7d, Qh, Ad (6 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, MP checks, CO checks, Hero bets, SB folds, BB folds, UTG folds, MP folds, CO folds.

Hand 7: Here's a bad calldown. Even though villain is a complete unknown, I can't be looking him up like this.

Preflop: Hero is BB with Jh, Ts. CO posts a blind of $1.
2 folds, CO (poster) checks, 2 folds, Hero checks.

Flop: (2.50 SB) 9s, 2c, Js (2 players)
Hero bets, CO calls.

Turn: (2.25 BB) Qd (2 players)
Hero bets, CO raises, Hero calls.

River: (6.25 BB) 7c (2 players)

Hero checks, UTG bets, Hero calls.

Results:
Hero has Ts Tc (two pair, queens and tens).
UTG has Ac Ah (two pair, aces and queens).

Hand 9: Here's an interesting river fold. There is a small chance he had AK and I folded the best hand, but I think it's far more likely that he had a hand like AQ/KQ/AA/KK/JJ, all of which beat me.

Flop: (6.50 SB) 4h, Td, 9s (2 players)

BB checks, Hero checks.

Results:
BB has Ah Js (one pair, nines).
Hero has 7c 7h (two pair, nines and sevens).

Hand 11: Villain was very aggro, stealing with almost any two. His flop play was fishy enough that the turn felt like an easy bet-fold.

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6h, 5s.
2 folds, Button raises, 1 fold, Hero calls.

Flop: (4.50 SB) 5h, 4s, Qc (2 players)
