Played a smallish session today, just over 1k hands. I did plan on playing another session this afternoon, however, I ended up taking a nice 5 hour nap instead and it was glorious. For some reason today I felt like playing a donkament so I checked out the tourney tab and didn't see anything I liked. I ended up just playing a $4.40 while I played 4 tables of 6 max. The tourney went well and I was in good shape when this hand came up with 14 left.

Atleast I didn't bust here I guess. Always nice to run well at the end of these tourneys though and go into the FT with a decent stack. Luckily for me I didn't have to worry about the FT. Got back up to just over 5M when the blinds were 500/1000/100 with 10 players left and I picked up 99 UTG. Obviously I shoved and wouldn't you know it the sb had 10's and I did not improve. Glad I wasted 2 hours of my life to lose a 70/30 and then with 10 left a setup. Made a smooth $4 in profit, at this rate I'll be ballin like Elky in no time.

The cash game went a lot better today then last nights session. I looked over PT and also over the comments on the hands I posted and hopefully filled those leaks on a more permant level. So thank you for the comments the are appreciated. I did have a couple hands I wanted to discuss today. Both I think are real straight forward.

I had just sat at this table and no one knows I'm playing real laggy yet, my database didn't have anything on any of these players when I sat down so they don't know me and I don't know them. That being said I think this is a preflop fold. As weak tight as that sounds I just can't imagine what I'm ahead of here other then A/K. I mean if he's going to 4bet A/K OOP wouldn't he just shove it so he doesn't have to worry about post flop decisions? And his 4 bet is for value and for some reason I decided to play it real fast and look him up. Anyway once I make the call preflop I think the hand is standard, but pre flop this is a fold. Everyone agree?

I've been at the table awhile and I have been playing real aggressive. Opening a lot of pots, 3 betting in position standard stuff. Here I got a real weak bet into the pot so I decided to raise and see that if he had it plus if a 4 hits I'm getting his stack unless he's so strong that he hit a set but whatever I'll pay that off here. Turn is standard and I just didn't see how he could have 2 hearts here so river was a snap call. Anyway it's more of a raising the flop thing with 1 acting behind me. Is it really worth putting in this raise vs a weak bet? I have seen a few people who like to bet real weak to induce a raise then repop over the top and with once acting behind me is it really a +ev move? If I get called I'm beat but I am also going to be in position so I can control the pot size a lot better assuming it gets folded behind. Thoughts on my line please.
