Day 56-4: -$129.50 (-32 BB at $2/4)

Level: -$8.00 in 8.48 table hours (-2 BB at $2/4)
Overall: +$312.15 in 118.65 table hours

I just don't do well at the LAG tables... maybe it's variance, or maybe I just don't quite know how to deal with the hyper-aggression, but I seem to get run over by them. I went busto on two separate tables today, costing me $200. On the other hand, there was another table where I was up $70 to mediate the loss. I don't know what it is.

Hand 1: Aces cracked. I think I can fold this river, but I was a little frustrated. I was, however, surprised to see what was shown down.

Preflop: Hero is CO with Ac, Ah.
UTG calls, 1 fold, Hero raises, Button 3-bets, SB calls, 1 fold, UTG folds, Hero caps, Button calls, SB calls.

Flop: (14 SB) 7d, Kd, 5c (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, Button calls, SB raises, Hero 3-bets, Button calls, SB caps, Hero calls, Button calls.

Turn: (13 BB) Qs (3 players)
SB bets, Hero calls, Button calls.

River: (16 BB) Kc (3 players)
SB bets, Hero calls, Button folds.

Results:
SB has Ks Js (three of a kind, kings).
Hero has Ac Ah (two pair, aces and kings).

Hand 2: Trip aces lose on the river. Was the river raise too much? I was expecting to beat a worse trip aces here quite often...

Preflop: Hero is Button with Ks, As.
1 fold, MP calls, Hero raises, 1 fold, BB calls, MP calls.

Flop: (6.50 SB) 2s, Ad, 9s (3 players)
BB checks, MP checks, Hero bets, BB folds, MP calls.

Turn: (4.25 BB) 5c (2 players)
MP checks, Hero bets, MP raises, Hero calls.

River: (8.25 BB) Ah (2 players)
MP bets, Hero raises, MP 3-bets, Hero calls.

Results:
MP has Ac 2h (full house, aces full of twos).
Hero has Ks As (three of a kind, aces)

Hand 3: Of course, I had to river the ace, which compelled me to call on the end.

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

Flop: (10.50 SB) Ts, 2c, Jh (3 players)

Turn: (6.75 BB) 5d (3 players)
UTG bets, Hero calls, Button calls.

River: (9.75 BB) Ac (3 players)

Results:
UTG has 5h 5c (three of a kind, fives).
Hero has Qs Ad (one pair, aces).
Button has Ah Qh (one pair, aces).

Hand 4: This was at the LAG table.

Preflop: Hero is BB with Ks, Kh. UTG posts a blind of $2.
UTG (poster) raises, Button 3-bets, SB calls, Hero caps, UTG calls, Button calls, SB calls.

Flop: (16 SB) 9h, Qs, 5c (4 players)

Why dont you 3-bet flop? Possibility of him having AA/QQ too high?
