This is my april so far, I played like 3.2k hands today and -1.2k on the day. This is some really swingy shit...

I've been playing like 29/24 lately which is probably a bit too aggressive but I'm comfortable and I like it.

Here are some interesting hands I've played recently:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/425961 - Don't even know how to begin describing this one..
Given player dynamics I felt he could be raising very lightly on the flop given this is bvb and all that, but his small raise size was weird. I decided to 3b since I didn't want to float oop and I also have the Jack hi, but I gain some sd value on the turn. On the turn it's weird he bets such a committing amount but at the same time he didn't shove over my flop 3b. I figured if he had a very strong hand then he probably raises small to induce (or raises big), and if he induced I should've seen a shove. These sort of reasons lead me to believe he has a draw and so since I actually have a pair I can comfortably c/ai. This is prob a 4/5 on the spew scale.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/426734 - 99 call down on 3 flush, 3 straight, A, K hi board
This guy had been very active and potting instead of making normal sized bets on early streets, so I decided to call down since I did have 2nd pair. The board gets progressively worse and the worst possible card comes on the river, where he shoves. My initial thinking was that someone like this should be afraid I was drawing to a flush (not that I would ever really play a fd this way), and if he had only a King anyway he probably wouldn't shove. I figured if he even had AK he probably wouldn't shove, and that his hand was either a flush draw or air. I figured if he had a FD he may not have potted the turn he could've checked, so I thought the possibility of him having a fd was diminished. Later I decided my call wasn't that great and that someone as maniacal as this could've easily bet here with Ax or two pair or whatever. 5/5 on spew scale in hindsight

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/427463 - J hi bet/3bet, fire turn barrel bluff
I'd been 36/30 on the table when it was still full, and generally just very active. This guy had been staying out of my way until he hit a set on me earlier and my combo draw missed. When it got HU we started going at it a lot more and when he c/rs so small on this flop when we're deep, I just didn't think he had to have a big hand. I don't think he does this with a ten so he doesn't have AT or anything like that but I think he has hands like 87, a small fd, air (except until he calls my 3bet) etc. here a lot. On the turn, it's such a godlike scare card and we're so deep and when he just can't conceivably have a good hand I decide to fire. If he had called I would've put him on exactly some sort of draw and probably would've shoved river given safe cards obv. 5/5 spew scale.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/427444 - 500bb pot suck out
Same villain as the above J7o hand, we def. had a very very aggro dynamic going on and this hand occurred a couple hands after J7o. When he 4bets me I didn't want to call but I also didn't want to fold either. I 5b intending to get it in (it's possible he even folds a hand like TT/AKo that he decided to 4b anyway), but he just calls. At this point he has like QQ+, but I really have no choice and just stick the rest in. Interesting that he had 99, and made this play. He even tanked for a while so it's not like he was ready to snap get it in on any non K, A flop, I think it just came down to him being frustrated. Thank god I hit my outs though. solid 11/5 on the spew scale.

Hope you guys enjoyed my spewtardness.

btw, Mozilla Firefox's English dictionary doesn't show spewtardness as a proper word .
