Day 84-18: +$25.25 (+13 BB at $1/2)

Level: +$75.00 in 46.17 table hours (+38 BB at $1/2)
Overall: +$347.65 in 185.13 table hours

I played a somewhat tight game today because the cards were not coming favorably to me. I was a bit tired, which is the reason I stopped (though I got in a solid 72 minutes). Looking at the stats, I've been running dry for a while now. Winning 38 BB in 46 table hours translates to less than 1 BB/100.

Hand 1: I almost folded this hand preflop because villain seemed like a decently tight player in the couple orbits I've seen him, but I decided to go for the 3-bet. It turns out I was in trouble preflop, and on the river. Maybe I can check-fold the river, but I feel like he might bet anything when I check to him.

Preflop: Hero is SB with Ad, Jh.
1 fold, MP raises, 2 folds, Hero 3-bets, 1 fold, MP calls.

Flop: (7 SB) 8c, 7s, Jc (2 players)
Hero bets, MP calls.

Turn: (4.50 BB) 9c (2 players)

Hero bets, MP calls.

River: (6.50 BB) Tc (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets, Hero calls.

Results:
Hero has Ad Jh (straight, jack high).
MP has Ac Kh (flush, ace high).

Hand 2: Quad aces!

Preflop: Hero is BB with Ad, 6d.

Turn: (6 BB) As (2 players)

River: (8 BB) Ah (2 players)
SB checks, BB bets, SB calls.

Results:
Hero has Ad 6d (four of a kind, aces).
SB has Kd 2h (three of a kind, aces).

Hand 3: Woo hoo! I was drawing very live on the turn with a full 10 outs.

Preflop: Hero is BB with Ks, Qd.
3 folds, Button raises, SB calls, Hero calls.

Results:
Hero has Js 7d (one pair, jacks).
Button has 7c 8h (high card, ace).

Hand 5: Same LAG. Turns out he hit his rags, but I hit mine even harder. The flop check-raise here was because my hand has so little showdown value that bluffing J-high off his hand is a good thing.

Preflop: Hero is BB with 9s, 6h.
3 folds, Button raises, 1 fold, Hero calls.

Flop: (4.50 SB) 8c, 5s, As (2 players)

Results:
Hero has 9s 6h (straight, nine high).

Hand 6: Villain's slowplay with KK preflop nearly cost him a huge huge pot. But the river saved him, and I lost it instead.
