Can't seem to get winning sesh last few days which is a little frustrating but happens to the best of us. Not that like I'm playing horrible and steaming stacks off. Feel I'm handling it very well how ever. I am able to quit when I feel I'm not playing my A+ game which has potentially saved me fair amount if I continued to play and force the action. That is usually never good and the results usually show it. Gona play 3/6 + lower till I get my "confidence"(but I'm not really sweating it at all) back and pull together few nice sessions. Gona try to hit tables pretty hard this week end depending on how things go. Think I'm going out to dinner tonight, and probably will wait till after that to get some hands in. Hopefully tables will be ultra juicy seeing as it is a Friday night. Forgot If I've mentioned this in previous post, but one thing that I used to do was tend to not post as much in my blog if I was doing poorly, and I really feel that is when you should be posting the MOST! So If I continue to do poorly and am slacking on posting yell at me!

So got it 123 hands at basically 2 600NL deap tables. Nothing real big at all except these 3 medium sized pots I lost.

At this point it was playing 5 handed, CO(was doing like 3-4 tables have never played w. him before) opens from CO and I cold call on button w. A5s w. effective stacks of 200BBs. Didn't feel like 3-betting and getting 4-bet'd off hand or have him calling and flop an ace and have him like AK or something(not saying I never 3bet in this spot, just a feel thing). So I called, blinds folded and flop came KQ5hh and he checks to me. I'm almost positive he's c-betting all his draws+TPs here(just from limited time I've seen him @ my 2 tables). That being said, I'm put him on like a Q-X type hand or some kinda under PP. I have pair of 5s and bdoor FD but don't think it's good now so decide to bet out and he calls. Turn is 7h, completing the flush draw and he checks to me again. Decide to fire another barrell and he requests time and calls. Now I'm putting him on like Q-Xh type hand or maybe like TT w. Th. If a heart came I was pretty sure I was going to shut down but river came 3c and he checked again to me. So now I know I'm behind, and actually had the feeling he wasn't folding but still bet 228$ into about 300$ pot. He looked me up w. Q8ss.  Guess I kind of forced this one and I really have to start going with my gut. My read was dead on w. the Q-X, but I kinda had the gut feeling he was looking me up.

This hand is vs. same villain from hand before. Think  this was the first being 3-handed. I open J8s from the CO, button folds, there is no SB, and drugs 3bets me. I know he is doing this with a VERY wide range. How ever, I really felt if I 4 bet it would be so obvious it was a bluff and kind of thought he was capable of 5-bet bluffing me. That being said, I decided to see a flop in position. Flop comes K32 rainbow w/ a bdoor FD for me. He leads 105$ into a 120$ pot. I think it out and feel if I just flat call it would really look like a float and he would fire any turn. A raise to like 280-300$ would just look like I'm full of it. I decided to do something I don't do much which was min raise. We were lil bigger than 200 BBs deap PF here, so I thought the min raise would really throw him for a loop + potentially make it look like I wanted him to do something spewy. He though for a little and flat called. Turn is 6d, giving me a flush draw and he checks to me. Now if I didn't hit the FD, I think I fire another barrell here but decided to take the free river card and go from there. River is 5, making and hand w. 4 a str8.  He then bets ~ 3/5th's pot and I press timer to think it out. I really don't think if I shove here I would have much credibility because if I had a K-X type hand I probably would just want to see a cheap show down and what type of hand w. a 4 in it am I min raising his flop c-bet? But also, if he had a K-X type hand wouldn't he do the same? Really wanted to shove here but didn't want to see a snap call from like 54/64 type hands so just decided to give up the pot. Put a lot of thought in to this hand and I think it's good to re evaluate it after its played out. Looking back, I kind of like how I played it. Maybe a smooth call on flop, then if he leads turn raise that bet(w/ my FD, maybe give up if I don't hit FD). I think that would look pretty scary but would kind of suck to raise turn then have him jam and be kind of committed in 400BB pot drawing to flush w. one card to come.

Ended sesh shortly after this hand. Folded to me in SB and I open raise AKs and regular CCs (range is fairly wide here). I flop pretty good, TP/TK and lead out and he calls on a KT8 rainbow flop.  Turn is not so great, a 9, making QJ a str8 and making some 2 pair hands.  Decide to check to him and he bets. Decide to look him up here and river is 4.  I check again to him and he bets 3/4ths pot. I think my hand kind of looks like a pair/str8 draw(like J9 or something) but kinda had the feeling he had 2 pair-ish type hand because this villain is kind of straight forward ish. But he could also definitely be v-betting a weaker king so decided to look him up and he had 98o from 2 pair. Not too disappointed in the way I played this hand but when things aren't going you tend to lean to the call side in situations like these which is not good and why I ended the session short.
