Level: -$41.50 in 11.67 table hours (-10 BB at $2/4)
Overall: +$278.65 in 121.83 table hours

I backed down to one table because I only had $81 to start the day, which isn't enough to run two tables. Fortunately, I ran well and got myself back up a bit. Even though I'm approximately at the right amount to go up to two tables again, I think I'll stick with one for a while longer. I seem to focus better, which is probably what I need now more than anything else.

I ran into another aggrobluffer today. We ended up basically even with each other. This surprised me at first because I thought I was getting the better of him by a lot, but then I realized how many times he hit outs to beat me. He also stole the blinds (OOP) many times from me as I wasn't always picking hand that I could play, plus SB was calling often, making it harder for me to win postflop. I was surprised at how much the table just stayed out of his way and let him take their money. It's things like that which encourage me to be too aggressive sometimes.

Hand 1: This was my first hand with aggrobluffer. He had only been at the table for a few hands, so I didn't have enough of a read to really do much.

Preflop: Hero is Button with Ad, Jc.
2 folds, Button raises, SB calls, 1 fold.

Flop: (5 SB) Ts, Th, 8s (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, SB calls.

Turn: (3.50 BB) 4d (2 players)
SB bets, Hero folds.

Hand 2: This came up a little bit later, after I knew he was capable of throwing out lots of bluffs and semibluffs.

Preflop: Hero is Button with 8d, Ac.
3 folds, Hero raises, 1 fold, BB calls.

Flop: (4.50 SB) 6c, Ad, 7c (2 players)
BB bets, Hero raises, BB 3-bets, Hero calls.

Turn: (5.25 BB) 5c (2 players)
BB bets, Hero calls.

River: (7.25 BB) 6h (2 players)
BB bets, Hero calls.

Results:
BB has 9s 8c (straight, nine high).
Hero has 8d Ac (two pair, aces and sixes).
Outcome: BB wins 9.25 BB.

Hand 3: By this point, I felt as if I wanted to go to showdown with my mediocre hands because he was betting so often. This is why I checked behind on the the turn. I knew he would be betting almost any two on the end.

Preflop: Hero is CO with As, 6s.
2 folds, Hero raises, 1 fold, SB 3-bets, 1 fold, Hero calls.

Flop: (7 SB) 2d, Kc, 6d (2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls.

Turn: (4.50 BB) 5s (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks.

River: (4.50 BB) 8d (2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls.

Results:
SB has Ah Th (high card, ace).
Hero has As 6s (one pair, sixes).

Hand 4: I debated playing this one slowly to let him bluff, but I decided to just play fast and hope things go well.

Preflop: Hero is Button with As, Tc.
3 folds, Button raises, 1 fold, BB calls.

Flop: (4.50 SB) Ac, 2s, 3h (2 players)
BB bets, Hero raises, BB folds.

Hand 5: I checked this preflop because I don't have a large advantage OOP against a very aggressive player and the SB limper. On the flop, I checked because I wanted to use relative position to gauge the strength of my hand. On a draw-happy board like this one, I know villain is going to bet a very very wide range of hands worse than mind. However, I know he can go 3 bets with a weak draw, so I want to keep the spewage to a minimum.

Preflop: Hero is BB with As, Td.
1 fold, MP calls, 2 folds, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (3 SB) 2s, 8h, Jh (3 players)

Hero checks, MP bets, Hero calls.

River: (4.50 BB) 6s (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets, Hero calls.

Results:
Hero has As Td (one pair, eights).
MP has Qh Th (one pair, eights).

Hand 6: I tried to play it slowly, but villain didn't want to play this time. Based on what I know, I think he decided he was going to take just one stab at this. Potentially, I could check behind on the turn and try to make him bluff the river. But I'd rather just value bet and hope he calls.

Preflop: Hero is Button with 7s, Ac.
3 folds, Hero raises, 1 fold, BB calls.

Flop: (4.50 SB) 5c, Ah, As (2 players)
BB bets, Hero calls.

Turn: (3.25 BB) 4d (2 players)
BB checks, Button bets, BB folds.

Hand 7: I thought about checking behind on the turn and calling a river bet, but I decided to value bet. Then he decided to bluff anyway when the straight/flush card came. Of course, I know that if he had a straight/flush draw, he would be betting the turn.

Preflop: Hero is Button with Js, Ac.
2 folds, Hero raises, SB calls, 1 fold.

Hero checks, BB bets, Hero calls.

Results:
BB has 4h Ah (one pair, queens).
Hero has 6h Ac (two pair, queens and sixes).

Hand 10: He drew to his 3-outer. I almost check-raised the turn for value (which might have folded him, actually). This might be considered a leak because I am missing lots of value on the turn when I let him get away for just one bet.

Preflop: Hero is BB with Kd, Jc.
UTG calls, MP calls, 2 folds, SB completes, Hero checks.

Hero checks, MP bets, Hero calls.

Results:
Hero has Kd Jc (one pair, jacks).
MP has 7h Ah (one pair, aces).

Hand 11: It was hard not to laugh at this hand. It's almost as if he turned his hand face up on the turn, but I didn't believe my eyes and paid it off. I don't think I would fold here ever against this player just because he was so erratic. I was going to raise the turn on a non-club.

Preflop: Hero is Button with Jh, 9d.
3 folds, Hero raises, 1 fold, BB 3-bets, Hero calls.

River: (6.25 BB) 4s (2 players)
BB bets, Hero calls.

Results:
BB has Kc Tc (flush, king high).
Hero has Jh 9d (three of a kind, nines).

Hand 12: Here's another missed raise on the turn. I don't know if he's calling, but I need to really get comfortable raising here. I think the river king was enough to freeze him up. Too bad for me.

Preflop: Hero is Button with 7h, Ac.
2 folds, Hero raises, SB 3-bets, 1 fold, Hero calls.

Flop: (7 SB) 6h, 6d, 4c (2 players)
