Day 49-5: +$53.25 (+27 BB at $1/2)

Level: +$145.50 in 10.75 table hours (+73 BB at $1/2)
Overall: +$252.40 in 105.07 table hours

I went back to two tables for the first time in a while. Everything went along relatively nicely, but (as always) there were still a couple bad calldowns. I seem to be doing this at least once every 100 hands. That could be hurting me as much as 1 BB/100! If it really is this bad, then it's a substantial leak.

Hand 1: I'm surprised I got paid off on the river check-raise by this hand. I thought about donking the river, but villain was aggro enough to keep betting, but not aggro enough to raise.

Preflop: Hero is MP with Jc, Ad.
1 fold, Hero raises, CO 3-bets, 3 folds, Hero calls.

Flop: (7.50 SB) Kc, 3s, Ac (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets, Hero calls.

Turn: (4.75 BB) 5s (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets, Hero calls.

River: (6.75 BB) Js (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets, Hero raises, CO calls.

Results:
Hero has Jc Ad (two pair, aces and jacks).
CO has Qs Kh (one pair, kings).

Hand 2: I usually wonder if I should raise in these spots on the turn or river, but I can never seem to bring myself to do it.
Preflop: Hero is CO with Jh, Ac.
1 fold, MP calls, Hero raises, 2 folds, BB calls, MP calls.

Flop: (6.50 SB) 8d, 8c, 7c (3 players)

Turn: (4.75 BB) Js (3 players)

Hand 3: Bet the turn...

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Ah, 6h. MP posts a blind of $1
Hero raises, 4 folds, BB calls.

Hand 4: Pots like this make me smile.

Preflop: Hero is SB with Kh, Kd.

Hand 6: Villain was an aggro-bluffer. I decided that I didn't want to face a flop check-raise (which was almost certainly coming), so I checked behind and called the double bluff. I like showing down K-high and winning.
