$1/$2 NL

Mondays= P.O.S. Waking up to go to work after a nice enjoyable weekend of somewhat sleeping in, and having to get up to go to work, almost puts me on live tilt. I really don't while I play cards but I can sure tilt in life. Anyways work wasn't so bad, got off by around 2:30 P.M. or so, got home and chilled for a bit. Picked up Tyler, we went and grabbed some BBQ, good stuff. Came back to the house and put in a session of 1,500 hands, and pretty much broke even. Pretty standard session, although today I kept facing resistance by a great amount of the players I was up against. Maybe they were catching hands and I wasn't, who knows what the case was, but it wasn't standard thats for me thats for sure. I played well in my session, although after reviewing my hands I found a couple spots where I could have improved my game, but nothing major.

Here are a few pots I played, one where I got stacked and another where I stacked.

This hand, UTG (under the gun) min raises, I 3 bet, and this guy that 3 bet me like twice in the last 10 hands, goes ahead and 4 bets me. Given the fact that this guy was super aggressive, and was trying to run over me, I decide that I'm going to just Felt the QQ I had, so the UTG guy folds, and I 5 bet ship it all in, the guy tanks, at this point I know he don't have AA unless he is being an a$$ and slow rolling me, so I'm happy there, and more then likely he's not folding kings, pretty much a snap call as well since most people don't fold KK pre-flop, and he decides to call with AK of clubs, and happens to flop the nut flush, and I lose a coinflip. I'm not disappointed in the way I played this hand, given the guys reraising frequency against me plus his super agro style. Against other guys I might just call, and check raise all in on a low board, pretty much player dependent. Here it is.... http://www.pokerhand.org/?1294216

This hand right here was pretty standard. I open from UTG with 88, folds around to the big blind who calls. Flop comes 3h Qd 8c, and he donk leads $15 into like the $16 pot to me, the board is so dry, no flush draw, only a gut shot, which I don't leading a gutshot draw out on this board ever, and I have position so I opted to just call. Turn brings a 6s , still no flush draw. The guy bets out $45 into the $45 pot, with $70 something left behind, right then and there, I decide that theres pretty much no way the guy is going to get away from his hand, he's pretty much making a statement with that pot bet that he's not going anywhere, so I ship the rest of his $ in, he calls with AQ, river is a 9 and the pot is mine.
