Made almost $600 on this day. Early norning session was a huge grind. The evening session was more prolific money-wise.

Morning session:
Play wasn't bad. I just couldn't get into a roll. Lost a 200BB pot with an underset. Lost another buy-in+ with a weirdly-played JJ hand. Lost 2 moderate pots to bad beats. You know not everything went smoothly when 64 suited was your winningest hand.

Bad beat
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/287503 KK suckout against #1. A 12-outer, so it wasn't that gross.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/287504 AQd Once the big-stack got out I decided to felt this. Got an instant call and got hit right between the eyeballs.

Pwned
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/287506 JJ At the time I was only afraid of UTG, and I already decided to push if he showed weakness.

Coolered
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/287507 66 I was hoping opponent was overplaying top pair good kicker. WRONG.

Big defensive plays
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/287508 AA I guess I could take solace on good damage control

Big wins
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/287510 22 Reraised pot, dream situation
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/287511 64h Should've folded to the UTG raise

Evening session: Almost 9 PTBB/100 hands are nice. Preflop was quite loose, but I didn't get into many post-flop mess. Although there were 2 or 3 spots when I missed quite a bit of value. Let's not overlook these mistakes amidst success.

Big win:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/288134 88 Sadly this was the biggest pot for me on this night. And it didn't come without scare.

Bad beat
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/288144 AA Disregard the suckout -- the limp reraise still works at this level

Big defensive plays
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/288113 KK Don't think KsKd is good 5-handed on a all-heart flop, against a surprising flop lead
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/288093 KK Another disaster averted whew good displine on my part
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/288166 AQ No point raising when my hand was obvious as hell

Big Bluff
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/288064 44 Opponent is a nitty regular. I wasn't calling down trying to catch a set.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/288099 AKh Getting an opponent to fold QQ/JJ (that's what he admitted afterwards)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/288119 AQs 3 half-pot bets by my opponent didn't convince me he's got a strong hand, so I threw in a river check-raise with my missed spades.

Missed value
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/288135 33 I was afraid opponent will check-fold his apparent TP/overpair on turn if I put in another strong bet. It didn't help that the river was a heart.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/288136 52d Significant missed value in this one. My weak-tight self made me think opponent was on a better diamond draw.

Why is your pf raise only 7?

One MAJOR reason my PFR has fallen off the chard is I raise only about half my AK/AKs these days. Even less so for AQ. For many reasons, legit or not.
First I am not very good at c-betting. Even TPTK OOP in a raised pot on a draw board can be difficult to play.
2nd I don't think I'm forgoing much value against other good multiway hands.
3rd I don’t want to fold out dominated hands
4th my hand will be so underrepresented
