I'm posting this well after the fact. I was busy after I played that session and didn't have time to input the data. Sorry, no hand posts.

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)

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!

I squeezed in a 1-hour session this afternoon and caught a really nice run of cards. It's fun to play 32/26 poker! Even though those stats are pretty high, I played a pretty unimaginative game. Value bet, value bet, value bet...
Hand 1: I felt like I should have bet the river or something. However, if he's semibluffing with Ks all the way, then there's little value in throwing in the river bet because he's never calling. So I guess maybe I can check-raise the turn. On the other hand, I should be glad to get to showdown.
Preflop: Hero is SB with Ad, Qh.
2 folds, Button raises, Hero 3-bets, Button caps, Hero calls.
Flop: (8 SB) As, 7s, 8s (3 players)
Hero checks, Button bets, Hero calls.
Turn: (5 BB) 8h (3 players)
Hero checks, Button bets, Hero
River: (7 BB) 9d (3 players)
Hero checks, Button checks.
Results:
Hero has Ad Qh (two pair, aces and eights).
Button has Jh Jc (two pair, jacks and eights).
Hand 2: I know that villain in this hand can be a little aggro out of the blinds, but isn't completely out of control. The turn raise forces a naked spade to pay an extra bet, plus I get two bets out of worse aces, of which there are plenty in his range.
Preflop: Hero is Button with Ac, Qh.

River: (8 BB) 3c (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB calls.
Results:
BB has Ad 9d (one pair, aces).
Hero has Ac Qh (one pair, aces).
Hand 3: Here's an interesting value betting hand. Villain's preflop raise and flop check sometimes means AK/KK, but can also be a scared QQ/JJ or even AQ that is smart enough not to c-bet. The queen isn't such a good river value betting card because it hits a wide range of gutshot type hands that could be hanging around for 3 bets preflop. It turns out I could have won a little more, but I'm not too disappointed.

Another down session, but not bad. It could have been better. I missed some big draws and they hit their few-outers. Overall, it feels more like a test of patience than anything.
Hand 1: Here's a spot where I think I should check the turn with two callers. Heads up, I think it's a fairly good bet, but with two other players, the chances of getting them both to fold is pretty small.
Preflop: Hero is BB with Ah, Qh.
UTG calls, MP raises, CO calls, 2 folds, Hero 3-bets, UTG calls, MP calls, CO calls.

Hero bets, MP calls, CO folds.
River: (9.75 BB) 3c (2 players)
Hero checks, MP checks.
Final Pot: 9.75 BB
Results:
Hero has Ah Qh (one pair, eights).
MP has 9c 9h (two pair, nines and eights).
Hand 2: Villain has been very aggressive, bluffing/semi-bluffing too often and value betting some weakish hands. He drew to his hand this time. I suppose one can argue for just calling because the 7 just made a bunch of hands of his catch up to mine, or folding the river if he has anything resembling sanity.
Preflop: Hero is MP with Ah, Qs.
1 fold, Hero raises, 1 fold, Button calls, 2 folds.

Results:
Hero has Ah Qs (two pair, aces and sevens).
Button has 9d 8d (straight, ten high).
Hand 3: Bad calldown? Villain was pretty aggressive and I felt there was a reasonable chance he would check-raise semi-bluff the flush draw. But he had a slightly better hand.
Preflop: Hero is Button with Ad, 4s.

Results:

UTG has 7d 7s (one pair, sevens).
UTG doesn't show.
Hand 6: Getting too fancy against an aggressive villain 3-handed? I don't know. My logic was that he would bet any decent hand. That means any pair or even an ace, and would pay off a check-raise. Any hand that he wouldn't bet, he wouldn't call, either. At least, that was the logic.

Results:

Button has 5h 5d (three of a kind, fives).
Hand 8: Here was a fun spot. Villain bought in for 10 BB and seemed to be playing a very wild game for the first 4 hands at the table. It changed a tough river bet-call into an easy river bet-call.

Another down session, but not bad. It could have been better. I missed some big draws and they hit their few-outers. Overall, it feels more like a test of patience than anything.
Hand 1: Here's a spot where I think I should check the turn with two callers. Heads up, I think it's a fairly good bet, but with two other players, the chances of getting them both to fold is pretty small.
Preflop: Hero is BB with Ah, Qh.
UTG calls, MP raises, CO calls, 2 folds, Hero 3-bets, UTG calls, MP calls, CO calls.
Flop: (12.50 SB) 8d, 8h, Jh (4 players)
Hero bets, UTG folds, MP calls, CO calls.
Turn: (7.75 BB) 2c (3 players)
Hero bets, MP calls, CO folds.
River: (9.75 BB) 3c (2 players)
Hero checks, MP checks.
Final Pot: 9.75 BB
Results:
Hero has Ah Qh (one pair, eights).
MP has 9c 9h (two pair, nines and eights).
Hand 2: Villain has been very aggressive, bluffing/semi-bluffing too often and value betting some weakish hands. He drew to his hand this time. I suppose one can argue for just calling because the 7 just made a bunch of hands of his catch up to mine, or folding the river if he has anything resembling sanity.
Preflop: Hero is MP with Ah, Qs.
1 fold, Hero raises, 1 fold, Button calls, 2 folds.
Flop: (5.50 SB) Ac, Td, 7c (2 players)
Hero bets, Button raises, Hero calls.
Turn: (4.75 BB) 6h (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets, Hero calls.
River: (6.75 BB) 7s (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets, Hero raises, Button 3-bets, Hero calls.
Results:
Hero has Ah Qs (two pair, aces and sevens).
Button has 9d 8d (straight, ten high).
Hand 3: Bad calldown? Villain was pretty aggressive and I felt there was a reasonable chance he would check-raise semi-bluff the flush draw. But he had a slightly better hand.
Preflop: Hero is Button with Ad, 4s.
3 folds, Button raises, 1 fold, BB calls.
Flop: (4.50 SB) Kh, 4h, 7d (2 players)

Results:

SB bets, Hero calls.
Results:
SB has 9c 9h (three of a kind, nines).
Hero has Qd Ks (one pair, queens).
Hand 5: Here's a missed value bet. I don't know what I was thinking.
Preflop: Hero is BB with Qc, Tc.
UTG bets 4 folds, Hero calls.
Flop: (4.50 SB) 9c, 3s, Th (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets, BB raises, UTG calls.
Turn: (2.75 BB) Ad (2 players)

River: (3.75 BB) 4h (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks.
Results:
Hero has Qc Tc (one pair, tens).
UTG has 7d 7s (one pair, sevens).
UTG doesn't show.
Hand 6: Getting too fancy against an aggressive villain 3-handed? I don't know. My logic was that he would bet any decent hand. That means any pair or even an ace, and would pay off a check-raise. Any hand that he wouldn't bet, he wouldn't call, either. At least, that was the logic.
Preflop: Hero is SB with Td, Qs.
Button raises, Hero 3-bets, 1 fold, Button calls.
Flop: (7 SB) 8d, 6d, Tc (2 players)

Results:
Hero has Td Qs (full house, eights full of tens).

Flop: (4 SB) Qc, 4s, 2h (4 players)

Hero checks, Button bets, Hero calls.
Results:
Hero has 6s Qd (one pair, queens).
Button has 5h 5d (three of a kind, fives).
Hand 8: Here was a fun spot. Villain bought in for 10 BB and seemed to be playing a very wild game for the first 4 hands at the table. It changed a tough river bet-call into an easy river bet-call.
Preflop: Hero is Button with Jd, Jh.
2 folds, Button raises, SB calls, BB calls.
Flop: (6 SB) 4s, 7d, Js (3 players)

Day 71-4: -$34.25 (-17 BB at $1/2)
Level: +$49.00 in 12.42 table hours (+25 BB at $1/2)
Overall: +$322.40 in 151.38 table hours
I feel like I played poorly again, but as I'm reviewing hands, I think I just kept missing flops and I actually got away from another of bad spots. On the other side of things, I had another fight with variance, and lost a couple big pots. But there isn't much I can do about that.
Hand 1: Against this player, I should have been able to fold this river. He was a loose passive, and I knew the raise meant I was very likely beat. But I call a lot on the end with an overpair. I must admit, though, I was pretty surprised by what he showed down. I was expecting at least a straight.
Preflop: Hero is SB with Ac, Ah.

Results:

BB has 8s 5c (two pair, eights and fives).
Hand 2: This call against this player is better. The pot is also bigger. I still lost.

Results:
Hero has As Kd (two pair, kings and sevens).
Button has 7c 9c (three of a kind, sevens).
Hand 3: I like this turn call. It's a good card because I can easily run from a check-raise. It turns out he was semibluffing the whole time.

MP has Jd Th (one pair, kings).
CO has 9d Ad (one pair, kings).
Hand 4: There was something very suspicious about this villain, but this board connected with so many hands that I didn't want to play the guessing game. Thankfully, he showed it. It's really only an interesting hand because he flashed K7s and left the table after this hand, but I met up with him again (see the next one).
