Yesterday I was down $4.7k at my peak, with nothing going right for me. I was extremely close to my 5K stopping point when things finally turned my way. I finished my first session of the day down $3k :( I ended up playing a 2nd session later in the night that started off good, with me stacking someone for >200bbs on one of my first hands with a set vs a gutter+flushdraw on the turn. So I'm only down $1kish for the day, then things start going horribly again and I cannot win a hand for the life of me. I again reach my down peak at $4.7k, ever so close to my $5k stop loss but I right the ship just in time. I then proceed onto a solid heater and end the day up over $2k. It felt amazing.
As for today, I had to go babysit my fiance's nephew for a few hours this afternoon. After I put him down for a nap I got to play a little 4 tabling session on my laptop. Things didn't go all that great, I played one hand pretty poorly but other than that, nothing was going my way. I feel like I've been trying way to hard recently to win, especially postflop and I've actually been spewing like a mad man. Anyway I finished the nap time session down like $3.3k. I got to play a 2nd session later in the night and I turned things around rather quickly and finished the day up like $300. Score! Another winning day, albeit a small one, will definitely help my mindset and hopefully get me back into the steady winning saddle.
Here are the most interesting hands from the past couple days.

This hand is against my favorite Korean. His 3 bet stat vs the steal is out of this world which is why I decided to 4 bet, because it is basically printing money. He calls the 4 bet and I flop top and bottom pair, weeeeee. He c/c's the flop bet. The stacks on the turn are a bit akward, bc he has like 1K left and there is a little more than 700 in there. I decided that he was going to fold the turn no matter what I bet unless he had an A, and if he had an A he probably wasn't folding no matter what. So I just shoved, he tanked a little and called me with AQ.

This hand was against one of the best midstakes regs. We had a very interesting dynamic because he opens a veryyyy wide range so I was 3 betting him a lot. This hand is a great hand to 3 bet with the intention of calling a 4 bet and then making moves postflop when you flop something with even a little potential. So I 3 bet and call the 4 bet. I flop top pair, essentially the nuts in this situation and I call the flop and snap the turn. We run it twice and I fortunately hold both of them.

I butcher the river in this hand pretty solidly. You might think preflop is a pretty thin, but the opener was running like 50/40, and the first caller was like a 40/30. So a pretty obvious 3 bet for value. I wasn't really happy to see everyone call, and then when I saw the flop I was just planning on giving up. Well the flop checks through, and I think I should be betting the turn here but I chicken out. I hit a straight on the river and now I really dislike my betsizing on the river. I'm fairly sure it is infact a bet but I should be betting like $200-$250 here IMO just because I don't think anyone really has anything ever. And when I get shoved on I can probably fold, even tho its not much more, I'm essentially calling to chop and probably lose a decent % of the time to flushes and KT. Meh.
The next 2 hands are going to display me taking unconventional flop lines, and then getting crapped on, which literally ALWAYS seems to happen wheneverrrrrrrrr I get fancy.

This first hand is against a good regular. I check back the flop here because I felt like he is going to be check/folding here a decent amount but I guess looking back on it, on this particular texture I think people have a much larger c/c range then say a Q 7 3 flop or something much drier. Anyway I check it back and we see another 9 on the turn. Villain now leads into me, and I decide to raise here. He calls and the river comes a K. He check/raises me all in, I call and he shows me a full house :(

And here is the 2nd hand where I do something strange on the flop and then get a little more than I ask for by the river. So here I still like checking back the flop, because I think this is a texture that people will be c/f'ing a ton when they do check. The turn is an 8 and villain leads into me. Here I decide to just call, just because I think his range is so heavily weighted towards air/overcards and I want him to make a pair or something on the river. The river is a huge brick and villain leads again, this time for a fairly large bet. I make a fairly large raise myself. This is where it gets interesting because now villain shoves on me. ???
Sigh, villain in this hand was a little loose preflop but I hadn't really seen him do anything out of the ordinary postflop, or even been aggressive for that matter.
I felt at the time that villain would be calling me here with just about 99% of his range. Unfortunately this was that 1% where he decided to bet/3bet me on the river. I really rationalize the fact that maybe this player is shoving something worse than 56 for value, so that left me to calling it off because I thought he was bluffing and I have an extremely difficult time believing that. So I decided to fold, I'm still not sold on it but literally EVERY TIME I do something like this I always get more than I bargain for, and normally rationalize it with, "blah blah blah I'm so underrepped here, no way he thinks I have a 5 here" but for this to be useful you have to know that the villain is capable of realizing this. And I think I will errr on the side of being a little too cautious at 2/4 against a std reg that I have very little info on. Whatever, flame away.

This will be the last hand, and I still really have no clue what to do in this spot. I have a feeling since it's HU in an aggro match, and I have TOP PAIR it should be a lol snap call but I missed the boat here. This is against a HU regular with a very very good PTR. I think he generally plays HU or 3-4 handed and does very good even though he seems to table select very well. Anyway he was 3 betting me a ton in this match something like 23% and I decided this was a pretty decent hand to 4 bet since I'm not 100% comfortable playing it against his 3 betting range. Anyway he flats, and I flop the toppest pair on a drawy flop. I could check back here, but I decided to bet. I get c/r'd and I think its a pretty easy call on the flop (?). The turn is a pretty brickish card, and villain shoves. I'm not really sure what sort of range to give him but I really sort of wish I called because I am very curious as to what he had. Oh well.
Hope you guys are running better than me to start of the new year. Later.
