Message: [QUOTE="baudib1, post: 1414103, member: 47606"] K I had 2 modestly winning sessions over the weekend. Friday night played my usual spot; turned $250 into $600, then lost a big pot. Raised with TT, got a caller, got squeezed by a shortstack. I reraised to isolate (the caller only had $15 in, shorstack shoved for $63 and I made it $140). He shoved for $400, I smacked myself in the head. I'm not sure the isolation raise was a good idea or not, but I put him pretty precisely on AK and nothing else so I felt I had to call with so much in the pot. He did have AK, he won the main pot and he did business on the side pot, which we chopped. I donked off half my stack on a fairly ridiculous bluff -- I usually try this maybe once every 2 weeks, it was stupid but I felt with the history I had with the guy, he could lay down a big hand. I lost the rest a few hands later on a cooler. Bought back for $160, got it up to $600 (some of the big hands are posted in the hand analysis forum AA vs. river bet, KK vs. limp reraise) and left. Went to another spot for a couple hours. It was 5/5 instead of 1/2, which I didn't realize, but I bought in short ($250) to try to make some bucks. There was a gigantic whale at the table donating to everyone -- he clipped me when he straddled and defended a $50 raise with Q5o, I had TT, flopped an overpair with a flush draw, shoved and he called and hit a Q-high flush on the river. Bought back in for $250 -- later I got TT again, he bet into me on a J 5 3, two-flush board, I shoved, he called...turn blank, river A...Somehow I was good. Later, I get AKo UTG and minraise to $10 -- I keep getting into awkward spots with AK oop, and didn't want to create a big pot. I felt with my image that it was a really strong move and wouldn't get too many callers anyway. Got 1 caller, then a tight player with only $200 behind makes it $60...I shove, first caller folds (shows AQs), the tight reraiser tanks...then finally calls...with AQs...flop comes K-high and I win. (Weird hand, the guy is a usually a solid player and he knows me well enough, everyone at the table told him he was wrong for calling because I have AK/QQ+ there always. I was shocked because I thought he had JJ/QQ and might actually fold them.) Anyway, netted $170, which isn't bad for a two-hour session after busting early. [/QUOTE]
