Level: +$7.00 in 36.65 table hours (+4 BB at $1/2)
Overall: +$279.65 in 175.62 table hours

I played an extended session tonight, playing for a couple hours (about twice as long as usual). The tables I was at were quite LAGgy, but I felt far more comfortable playing them than I had felt in the past. In other words, my confidence continues to move upward even if my bankroll doesn't.

Hero has Th 8h (two pair, tens and threes).

Hand 7: Here's a turn semibluff raise against a villain who seemd like he might be 3-betting a little light defending his blinds. I figured to make a lot of Ax hands fold as well as a number of medium pocket pairs that don't hold a club.

Preflop: Hero is MP with Jc, Th.
1 fold, Hero raises, 1 fold, SB 3-bets, 1 fold, Hero calls.

Flop: (7 SB) 4c, 6c, 3s (2 players)
