The Jesus seat on a huge fish doesn't go exactly according to plan...

So I just got done with a session at 5/10 and 10/20 that started off pretty well, fell of a cliff, then resurfaced for a pretty good day. I started the day off playing 1 5/10 6 max table, 2 people HU at 5/10 and 1 HU at 10/20(all at 6 max tables to start games). Well all of those matches went pretty well. And I was quickly up a few buy ins.

I'm playing a pretty big fish HU on one of the 5/10 tables and another semi-reg fish asks the fish if he wants to move it up to 10/20. I tell the semi-reg fish that I'm waiting at 10/20 if he wants to play. He sits down but sits out and says we have to wait for a 3rd person before he will play(which I think is quite funny when people say this because 3 handed poker is literally the worst). So after about 10 mins of sitting, one of the biggest fish ever at FTP sits in. And obviously then the table blows up and the next thing you know the wait list is over 30 people long.

At this point all the heads up games I was playing have filled up, except one where I busted the other player and he just decided to leave. So I have 3 10/20 games going and 1 5/10 game up. About an hour or so into the session, after some biggish pots I find myself up about 10k. Wahooo. Then for the next hour nothing is going my way, I'm not winning any pots and my winning keep slipping away. I hit rock bottom at -3K for the day. Argggg. I don't even really want to keep playing, but I feel retarded leaving the Jesus seat against the huge fish at 10/20 who has by now amassed a stack of nearly 12k. So I keep grinding it out, win about 6K and finish the day up $3K after about 1500 hands.

I'll go over the big hands I played today, and I certainly made some pretty terrible mistakes in here.

Here is a pretty terrible river call, but this was one of my first encounters against the fish and I thought there was a decent chance he was doing this with some sort of busted draw.

And here I make a pretty monumental mistake on the river against a tighish reg. I think my turn play is pretty good, as I think he will be bet folding hands like AK/AJ there on the turn quite a bit. But once he calls the turn I should pretty much just give up, however as my timer was running down I just threw in a desperation bluff since the diamond fd got there and got called by KQ after the villain thought for a little bit. Terrible.

I died a little bit on the river here in this hand. I wouldn't normally squeeze JJ here given positions, but the UTG opener was pretty laggy and the SB was a fish. I flop middle set and the fish c/c's 2 streets on a pretty wet board. The river completes a ton of draws and he jams into me. So taking into account that every other time he had taken the initiative and led into me I think its a pretty easy fold.

Well that's all I got for now. Bout to head to the gym for a quick workout, and then I have a couple of lessons to give this afternoon. Good luck at the tables everyone.
