Took $1400 from a fish, still got owned anyway.

Was on a particularly juicy table and completely dismantled some fish who was calling any two on the flop. Eventually took 1.4k from him, but got thrashed on other tables and ended down 1.3k. I guess that kind of means I suck at poker, but at least I'm better than that one guy? Unfortunate session to have after recovering from a fever, especially since I won't be able to play much this weekend and all. February has still been overall pretty bad, so I'm hoping in this latter half I'm able to make some huge strides (which probably requires I play at least 25k hands or something).

Fun hands:

This was pretty much the only big pot I actually won all day, against said fish. I later developed the read that he only check/raises flops with monster hands so in hindsight I don't know if I would've called, but this was earlier in the session so I called here (basically he's never raising a draw here imo).

And the losers:

typical set over set, dude was 22/13 or whatever and was actually a pretty huge fish (limps AA utg and never puts any money into the pot postflop). Played 300 hands on this table and after this hand I just got up and left, standard.

I really don't know about this hand, I think you could argue for a river fold against the c/r because I don't think he's checkraising here with worse unless he has 86s and that's a stretch. I doubt even AK plays this way too. w/e nice play by him

Standard spot where you try to mix it up and end up stacking yourself because of it. I slowplay AA preflop because villain's range is pretty wide at this point but I also think I lose too much if I just 4bet and scare off parts of his range like TT+, AK (which he actually might be inclined to shove). On many flops I have pretty decent manueverability, and I thought this would be a very good spot for me to try to end up repping my hand as like 88 or something.

Standard set vs flopped flush mandatory pay off

This guy is apparently one of the top razz players on FTP. Regardless he plays this hand pretty awful and somehow gets paid anyway. 4bet pots are ridiculously uncool :[

Well, I hate to say it but this might be the first time in SSNL/MSNL that I've been owned pretty badly. I think I recognize this guy's name from a while ago, so presumably he moved up to higher stakes and just came back down for whatever reason. In any case I was completely outplayed and I have to give credit where it's due. I don't particularly hate my play because almost nobody at ftp 400nl is conceivably capable of doing this without some sick history (which we didn't really have).
