Well my hangover wore off at last so I changed my mind about not playing today. Im glad I did too. +$244 in an hour and a half isnt bad at all. I was pretty comfortable but I decided to just play super tight just incase my thinking was still impaired. VPIP was around 15 average but I started around 11 until I got to know people and then opened up to probably around 18. I didnt get that many decent hands but I seemed to get them at the right times with the short stack fish deciding to come in when I had them.

There was one AK hand I played a little strangely but I still quite like how I played it.


Preflop


The table is 4 handed at the moment. Villain is slightly loose aggressive player with $350 or so. He seems reasonable. I have $116 and have been playing TAG (about 18 VPIP on this table).

Some people Fold he raises preflop to $4 and I reraise to $12 with A K. He thinks and calls. Ive reraised him a few times before and hes always folded.

Flop

7 3 Q : Pot $24.50

I bet out $14 and he thinks a little and then calls.

Turn : Pot $52.50

7 3 Q K

He could be floating or he could have hit a set or w/e. I dont think he calls preflop with KQ. I decide to check/call. He checks behind. Thats odd because hes usually quite aggressive. I think hes caught a piece.

River : Pot $52.50

7 3 Q K K

Im scared of getting raised by a better hand and at the same time dont think he'll call a chunky bet with much I beat so after thinking for most of my time I decide to check/call again.

He bets $25 and I pretty much instacall. He shows AQ and it is subsequently shipped.

I will post this hand in the HH section since the river check certainly doesnt seem standard but Im pretty happy with it against this villain.
