Godswitched Again (edit: updated for some hands)
These days that I don't lift weights leave me with so much leftover energy. Especially when I have Friday OFF.
BOOYAH.
So I get about 1k hands in, 2-tabling 25NL, for +6BI. God, that felt so good. Finally hitting some flops, showing down winners, and getting enough table image in to make some moves. There's something to be said for sparing use of Fancy Play Syndrome, when you have the image to pull it off.
Then there is Fancy Play Syndrome's retarded cousin, that I'm good friends with. This is the guy that walks up to the cops and asks them if they want to take a hit off his joint. Yeah. We all know him.
So, since it's 2:24am, I'll just make a rough draft and put the hands in tomorrow.
Stacked fool early with QJ vs JT on a AQJr board. Value bet the first two streets, river brings another jack, he leads and calls my shove. Standard.
Rivered Quads, overbet the pot 2x, villain calls all-in. Valuetown. You is here.
Raised AA UTG, 1 caller, board 4cQd2c. I bet point, he minraises, I shove, he calls, shows AcQc, turn Q, river c. Double outtered. :D Who cares, I got it in a slight favorite, and lots of hands were wayyyy behind me.
Missed lots of value. Cold call a 3bet on button w/ KK. Flop comes KQQ 3 ways. Checks to me, I CHECK THE NUTS. mistake. mistake. mistake. turn checks to me, I BET DA POT. Foldzors oh noessss
Weak play continues. Laggy, floaty, big stack doesn't respect me PF. I call a CO raise w/ KhJh on button, blinds come along. Flop Kd8c2s. Chk to PFr, who bets. I call on BTN. Laggy calls along in SB. BB folds. Turn 9d. Checked to me. I don't want to play a big pot with TPGK. I check. River 7s. Laggy makes his expected steal move. I make a crying call, and he turns over two pair that I let him get? I can't bet the turn here, my biggest leak is overplaying TPGK/TPTK. Forced to conclude that this is just variance that happened to help him out and not me. Right??
Nut flush draw in 3-bet pot, two of my suit on flop, we get it all in, I miss.
AK in 3bet pot, Kxx board, we get it all in, oops, he hit his set. ASS!
UTG minraises, MP minraises, I call BTN w/ Qc9c. Flop JcTd8c. YES. checks to MP, who bets pot. I minraise!!! Genius!! Nope, everybody folds. I want all the money in the pot now!! Do I a) raise and hope somebody has two pair? b) call and hope that somebody is drawing to the flush? c) call and hope that I look like I'm drawing?
Raise AK IP. Flop comes AAx. Value bets on three streets. Nobody believes me :D
KcJc IP from UTG raiser. Flop brings two clubs. He raises. I shove. He calls w/ overpair, board bricks. DAMN.
AT vs J2o on T72r board, all in. AT no good :(
AJ > QQ AIPF. :D Not good. I 3-bet bluffed, and then committed myself when IT WASN'T NECESSARY. But I run good.
AA > JJ on raggedy flop
Played this horribly. I've been leaking quite a bit on draws OOP. I try to play them strongly, betting out or checkraising, and it's losing me quite a bit of $$. I hate my line here. I have the nut flush draw OOP in a 4-way pot. Don't mind a bet/fold on the flop, but I take a less-optimal line of check flop and check/raise the river. It just smacks of desperation, and the bet on the river doesn't help at all. What, I was checkraising with 57? Bad.
JJ > 66 + Q6s(?) on 235r board.
this is sick. I put him on an midpair or maybe T9s here. My image is now set to smash the shit out of this table. Time to tighten up.
Flopped stack vs TPTK = more stacks
Genius hand. I love my line, and I think he would have gotten it in even light. Coolered!!
Raised 22 UTG, Cbet Khigh board, two floaters. Turn comes 2. I bet out again, both call. River pairs the board(!!!). They both swing on my nuts, all the way to VALUETOWN, WHERE I OWN A FUCKING CONDO.
My big aggro pot: I raise one limper w/ 66, folds back to him. He calls. Flop is 7c7hQh. I have a 340BB stack, he has 95BB. He overbets $4 into a $3 pot, and I shove on him. No limping hand has a Q, I'm not worried about that. I don't think he can put me on a 7 w/ my raise, and I don't put him on one, the way he bets out. I have stacked this guy twice in the past 30 minutes. He decides HE DOESN'T WANT ANOTHER PIECE OF ME YARRRR. and folds.
ok, I really liked that play. it was image-savvy, it was the right board, I had the right hand, and it was the right opponent-mindset. He'd seen me overbet two boards already, one with the nut full, the other with quads.
Last hand of the night, I get KK, and again overbet a QJx board, but nobody caught a piece and I call it.
I'll post the hand histories tomorrow, hopefully with some more coherent commentary. Christ I sound like a caffeinated 4chan reject. 6bi days will do that

Why don't you wince at the Ace hitting the board? Seems like your still behind a lot of hands...
Why don't you wince at the Ace hitting the board? Seems like your still behind a lot of hands...
Here's how the action went:
Pussy Raises UTG, Hero Calls, Moron Calls in BB.
[thought process: what kind of cards is he calling w/ from the vulnerable BB? This is my first hand with him. I'll assume he's decent: JTs+, 22+.]
flop: Js Qc Ad
Moron Checks, Pussy Checks.
[thought process: wow, what a scary board. Something like A9/AT/AK bets here if they're aggressive. I think two pair or a set might bet here as well. I'm pretty sure that I have the best hand at this point. I'm going to bet because A) I think I have the best hand and B) I am not going to let people draw at a straight cheaply, THE SAME REASONS THAT ANY HAND BEATING ME WOULD HAVE ALREADY BET] I bet half the pot. Pussy Folds, Moron calls.
Turn: Js Qc Ad 4s <--- brick
Moron Checks again.
[thought process: Ok, on the flop he checked, then called, and now he's checking again. Does he have a weak or middling hand, and think I'm just trying to take the pot away? Or does he have a stronger two pair / set / straight and is slowplaying? Sure, he could be slowplaying, but a stronger hand wants to WIN MORE MONEY. Checking twice with a straight doesn't win more money. A set or two pair would fear a straight coming and bet to give bad pot odds. Therefore, I still think I have the best hand.]
I bet half the pot. Moron calls.
River: Js Qc Ad 4s Jc <--- BINGO.
Moron bets the full pot.
[thought process: WTF is this retard doing. Is he STILL slowplaying a straight? Would he really bet a straight for value when the board pairs on the river, allowing fullhouses to be played? No, his series of actions doesn't represent a straight. It looks more like he has a J. He probably didn't fill up, as I just did, or he would have bet his two pair earlier, for the same reasons I would have. I definitely have the best hand.]
I min raise for value, he takes full time and then calls with TsJh.
I'm sure he thinks it was a cooler, but he had NO BUSINESS calling bets on the flop and turn with bottom pair and a gutshot draw. The river is perfect for me, but I fold his hand on the flop all day.
So Tav:
on the flop I'm behind AA/QQ/JJ/AQ/AJ/KT.
does Moron smooth call a raise out of position, in the BB, with AA/QQ? 80% of players reraise there, but he might call with JJ. AQ/AJ/KT are possibilities.
However, check/calling on flop and river throw JJ/AQ/AJ out the window. Had he check RAISED (to get value/protect vs draw), I could consider those hands. KT is still certainly in his range on both flop and turn.
but on the river, I know I have the nuts. I actually put him on the straight on the river, and raised an amount I thought he might call with the straight.
So in summary: because he never bet/raised to protect his hand, I safely assumed that he didn't outflop me w/ two pair/set, and he played it like shit the rest of the way.
