I don't really feel like I have much to say about today. There were a couple interesting hands, but otherwise I'm sort of in the grind (which I was hoping to avoid) while I work my way back up to $3/6 so I can take another shot.

Hand 1: Villain is a known hyper-LAG. It's too bad I didn't piece the puzzle together quickly enough to value bet the turn instead of trying to check-raise him. There's no way he's checking behind on the flop with a weak made hand. He's not likely to check behind with garbage, either. There's also no way he's checking behind with a heart draw. Therefore, he must have a made hand that he doesn't want to fold and doesn't have a heart.

Preflop: Hero is BB with Qs, Ah.
1 fold, MP raises, 2 folds, Hero calls.

Flop: (4.50 SB) 2h, Jh, 6h (2 players)
Hero checks, MP checks.

Turn: (2.25 BB) 4h (2 players)
Hero checks, MP checks.

River: (2.25 BB) 7d (2 players)
Hero bets, MP calls.

Results:
Hero has Qs Ah (flush, ace high).
MP has Ad As (one pair, aces).

Hand 2: Here's a very interesting hand with lots of fun decisions. I've posted this at the micros forum, so I'll let all of my commentary stand over there. Please, no cheating!
