bad run but still in the green

So I got up about 11:30 today (meh, had an alarm clock set up for 9am but somehow I didn't wake up), had a breakfast, watch a vid on CR, browsed some forums and then play a bit on FTP. I was 6-tabling for the most part as there were 6 huge donks spread across 6 tables so I just had to play with them. I didn't have any trouble and I felt that I was even more focused than during 4tabling and I was paying attention to every interesting pot at each table, taking lots of notes etc. I was running pretty bad with all the beats and setup. First a 3-outer on the river, then two 2-outers on turn and river, 4 outer on turn and some sick setups. Somehow I still finished up about $150. I felt like I was playing my best game for a long time, fully concentrated, making good reads and plays. Hopefully I can keep playing like this.

After the session I went to buy my favorite kebab - even though I have one on the corner I still decided to go to the one that is like 15mins far from my house. It's just fkin delicious and just £2,50. So I ate my kebab while watching "Epic Movie" which is a Scary Move-alike comedy. Nothing special but I laughed a few times. I had a bad headache in the evening so I decided not to play anymore and talked to my friend from Poland a bit. I really miss my friends again. But I'm coming back there for like 3,5 months during summer so that's great.

I also studied a bit for the IELTS and I'm doing better. I was mostly afraid of the reading part as there's not much time during it plus I have problems with concentration (how can I get Adderall in Poland? anyone? I don't think I've got ADHD so I can't get it from my doctor). But today I did 2 sample reading tests and I scored 35/40 in one and 36/40 in the other so it's pretty awesome. Ok, enough for now. Here are my stats and some hand histories:

No stats on villain at that point. I was kinda sure that I was behind on the river when he bet out but I still think I had to call. What do you think? What if he shoved. I wonder why didn't he do so. Anybody raises flop here? Or calling is ok?

2. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/180116
For those who say that FTP is tough and nitty.

3. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/180119
I like my line here. Villain was 25/22/7 after 35 hands. I checked flop behind as I didn't want to get c/r with my OESD and I didn't want to play too big of a pot in such spot. Good to get paid by A high.

4. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/180123
Very basic stuff. Villain was like 18/8/7 after 120 hands. Do you bet this turn everytime? Or checking behind and calling/betting blank river is ok?

5. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/180126
Villain was 23/10/2.4 after 200 hands and was betting river 18% of the time. Had no idea what to put him on after he just minbet turn and then bet pot when A came on river. And he had to be aware that Ax is a huge part of my range. What do you think about this spot?

I don't like to post beats/setups but these two are too beautiful to exclude them from my post (both happened in less than 5 mins):

Yuppi! Turned fullhouse! Oh wait.. he's got quads..

7. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/180129
Hurray! Rivered a fullhouse! Oh wait.. he's got a royal flush.. Here I kinda felt he could have QQ or AK as he was a major donk but he's still calling me w/ AA or KK (or even AQ, KQ) like 99% of the time so I think my shove is definitely +EV.

8. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/180130
Almost shoved it for value on the river. Villain was 43/6/8 after 35 hands. I think he might have AQ here quite often. He might call me w/ QJ but I think he's folding Q9 and lower. This time he had a runner runner flush. Would you value shove or value bet it at least?

9. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/180135
Villain is the fish from JJ vs royal flush hand. I was pushing any nonclub turn for value. Too bad it came on turn. Luckily he didn't have any and didn't try to bluff it. Likey?

Time to go to bed now. Got a few things to do tommorow (the ones that I was supposed to do today) so I gotta get up early. Holla

1. I definitely raise flop.
3. I think I'd raise the flop here anyway.
4. I'd play aggro again. Bet the turn, fold to a raise.
5. Damn, it can be a missed FD, but would he bet like that? I think he has AQ. Fold.
8. Heh, I'd lose more here, betting like 35-45 on the river.
