Turned into a fairly frustrating session just because of how it ended. I'd been super on top of my game; concentrating, making early folds etc... but I lost a few huge pots towards the end that I'm not too happy with. Time to analyse some winners and losers anyway.

Winners:

Hand1: This might seem really thin, but in the 100 or so hands I played with the villain I found him to not be the folding type at all, example he 3bet 48s then CRAI on QJ4, my NFD+overs not getting there. Against someone solid I doubt this is a stackajack, but I'm happy enough vs this guy.

Hand2:

I'm really meh here... on the flop villain has AQ and sets in his range, but arguably not by the river after he checks the turn. Given this, I'm hugely disappointed I didn't CRAI. I even prefer bet call over check call as he may not even have value bet Q10 like he did here. So, possibly some lost value.

Hand 3: Same villain as hand 1, he 3bet like a maniac from the SB and barreled away to his heart's content. Given he has 1000 more overcard combos than pairs, I like the turn shove especially on this card.

Losers:

Hand 4: So, I lose over 300bbs in this pot... villain is a really good solid reg from what I can tell, but I was dumbfounded by the action. I certainly don't want the flop checked through, so I like my lead. Importantly, given our stack depths and the draws possible there is a 0% chance he doesn't raise sets. This led me to the turn, where suddenly I picked up a pair to go along with my 2nfd. 3 options, bet, c-call, or c-raise. I settled on CR, as I think all weaker draws (89, 68 etc) would bet. Given he never has sets, and only 1 combo of KK left, I virtually never expect to be 3bet except by perhaps K-10, and probably not even then this deep.

Oops, got 3bet. Decision time, I don't actually think top2 gets 3bet this deep, leaving KK.... (1 combo remember). I timed as long as possible, but I had to stick it in vs 1 possible combo, especially with the re-draw. Still left me sick though and questioning my play...

Hand 5: About 3.6 seconds after the above hand, this happens. Villain is fishy, but this is just tilt on my part.

So I'm a little light headed now, but going to play in a little while and just concentrate on getting my mindset back again. This session wasn't a total disaster, I won some and my head was definitely screwed on. Just need to get back to doing it consistenly like before my break. dan
