Day 83-17: +$19.50 (+10 BB at $1/2)

Level: +$49.75 in 43.79 table hours (+25 BB at $1/2)
Overall: +$322.40 in 182.75 table hours

I don't know how much I have to say about tonight's session. I really want to get back up to 2/4 and 3/6 again, but that will happen in its due time.

Hand 1: Dang.

Preflop: Hero is SB with Ah, Ac. UTG posts a blind of $1.
UTG (poster) raises, MP calls, 1 fold, Hero 3-bets, 1 fold, UTG calls, MP calls.

Flop: (10 SB) 9d, 8c, Td (3 players)
Hero bets, UTG raises, MP folds, Hero 3-bets, UTG calls.

Turn: (8 BB) 3c (2 players)
Hero bets, UTG raises, Hero calls.

River: (12 BB) 7s (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets, Hero calls.

Results:
Hero has Ah Ac (one pair, aces).
UTG has 9s 9c (three of a kind, nines).

Hand 2: Here's a hand with an aggro-bad villain. Potentially, I could have raised the flop and potentially gotten him to 3-bet me, but he had a tendency to fold when an ace falls. My best guess is that he overplayed a flush draw here. Why? See Hand 3.

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Kc, Ah.
Hero raises, 4 folds, BB 3-bets, Hero calls.

Flop: (6.50 SB) As, 9c, 5c (2 players)
BB bets, Hero calls.

Turn: (4.25 BB) 3s (2 players)
BB bets, Hero raises, BB 3-bets, Hero calls.

River: (10.25 BB) 8d (2 players)
BB bets, Hero raises, BB folds.

Hand 3: Same aggro-bad villain as Hand 2.

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Ks, Kd.
Hero raises, MP calls, 1 fold, Button calls, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: (10 SB) Kh, 5c, 6h (5 players)
SB checks, BB bets, Hero raises, MP folds, Button calls, SB folds, BB 3-bets, Hero calls, Button calls.

Turn: (9.50 BB) 2h (3 players)
BB bets, Hero calls, Button folds.

River: (11.50 BB) 4s (2 players)
BB bets, Hero calls.

Results:
BB has 9h 4h (flush, king high).
Hero has Ks Kd (three of a kind, kings).

Hand 4: More aggro-bad villain. A raise probably makes him fold all worse hands, but he'll call with anything that beats me. However, he will bet-bet-bet with worse hands. The river was bad for me, but I had already committed myself to calling down blind.

Preflop: Hero is SB with Jd, As.
3 folds, Button raises, Hero 3-bets, 1 fold, Button caps, Hero calls.

Flop: (9 SB) Ks, 7h, 4d (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets, Hero calls.

Turn: (5.50 BB) 3d (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets, Hero calls.

River: (7.50 BB) Qc (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets, Hero calls.

Results:
Hero has Jd As (high card, ace).
Button has Tc Ad (high card, ace).

Hand 5: I'm surprised I'm the only one with an ace in this hand. I don't think I can win much more out of villains because a coldcall gives me away as well. The flop check-call was to try to determine whether I should worry about my kicker. I would be content to get to showdown cheaply if I didn't boat up on the turn.

Preflop: Hero is SB with Ah, 5h.
UTG calls, MP calls, 1 fold, Button raises, Hero calls, 1 fold, UTG calls, MP calls.

Flop: (9 SB) Ad, 4s, Ac (4 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks, MP checks, Button bets, Hero calls, UTG calls, MP folds.

Turn: (6 BB) 4d (3 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets, Button raises, Hero 3-bets, UTG folds, Button folds.
