I got 1 outed early in the session for $800 pot, hand:

I find it too difficult to get worked up by these though, as reciprocally in his shoes I would have played the hand exactly the same way, and he in my shoes. Set over set, it's not like I would have folded the 66 and he got lucky by bad play, it's just a perfect example of a reciprocal zero EV value situation. Light headed as I was though with no food, it did tilt me a little at the time which I'm angry about.

Same player then coolered me (in my book):

I overbet on the presumption that I'm never bet folding, and he's just as likely to call an overbet than a pot size bet. Meh.

Light headedness then led to this hand where I forgot or didn't care that fish who SNAP call 3 streets aren't about to fold the river.

I did pull off this one bluff where he folded and showed AA which got me chuckling.

Both the 3bet and call of the small 4bet are meh, but I'm in position deep and was trying to set the tone of the session whereby I cannot be messed with. One he checks flop he has air, QQ, AK or AA (this villain). Bet on the flop to move him off air, fail, so AK/AA/QQ left. Range doesn't change on the turn, but on the river I felt sure he wouldn't be looking to check back QQ or a J. My range flatting the 4bet can be QQ or JJ very often, and it's just whether he folds AA/AK. My twopence worth is that when you turn your hand into a bluff catcher like this, you need to be calling, but his scared play up to the river means he's not likely in the mood to call a 200BB river overshove. Just lol at his fold and show really....

Was just about to play again, but still haven't eaten apart from some skittles... so going to cook pasta then hopefully have a concentrated, REless of winning dollars.
