1191 Hands, +$942

I'm playing probably another 2k hands today, but I thought I'd 'bank' this session anyway so that its there on record that I'm not doomed to always fail.

Achieved my goal of taking the big pots I win, without leaking similar sized ones to my losses. Also, concentrated on being more aggressive on the turn to pick up pots, without getting wedded to the hand and throwing in a wasteful triple barrell.

Winners:

Hand1.
Got 3bet in the blinds by a very tight player over a smallish sample. Flat called to keep qq and JJ and possibly AQ in the pot.
Checked turn to allow villain to improve if he has an ace, or to disguise my K if he has JJ-QQ, allowing me to get 2 streets of value possibly.
Luckily, he had A7 making 2 pair on the turn and stacked off to me. Was certain he must have had AA at one point but obv this isn't getting folded.

Hand2.
This hand is semi interesting, as myself and Hemmel had an aggressive dynamic going on. I think my raise on the flop basically represents nothing except a K and 77, and who raises a K in that spot right? Bit of a yeti situation I think. He folded flop to my 3bet all in and said he had 7 hi. I believe him.

Hand3.
Called down an aggressive double triple barreller with AK on ace hi board. Don't like his play.

Losers:
not many to talk about today...

Hand4.
I try a river bluff which I dont hate here. Kricket would fold without a ten for sure.

Hand 5.
I have top pair second kicker, and when villain donks into me I think he has air or a draw a lot. I raise him up on the flop and bet the turn. Unfortuantely he has TPTK. In hindsight, there weren't a lot of draws out there and so probably flatting the flop and turn is best to allow him to keep bluffing.
