I 6 tabled this session, seemed to go well.... means I tighten up very slightly PF which can't be a bad thing. My previous experiments with 6 tabling haven't ended well but I'm going to stick with it until I feel it's really impacting my play.

Was a good session all round, probably biggest bone of contention is this:

I've started to triple barrel ace high boards with slightly higher frequency. I remember once calling 2 streets VS carrotsnake holding A6 on AQ9ss 54, he bet the river pretty big.... I was like this is never a bluff when you triple barrel an ace hi board, but on that occasion tilt called and he showed 78. So often on AQx in position you get called twice by Qx and weak Ax, then get a river fold. I'm obviously hypothesising, and it's not something I'm going to be doing every hand, but I do like it on occasion. In the above hand he tiiiiiiimed, but meh anyway.

Other interesting hands....

Just the right amount of risk reward here.... please who CR this turn for value?
