Deepstack big decision whick worked out right:


Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (4 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

saw flop|saw showdown

Button ($317.69)
Hero ($427.02)
BB ($275.05)
UTG ($85.10)

Preflop: Hero is SB with J, A. Hero posts a blind of $1.
1 fold, Button raises to $8, Hero (poster) raises to $29, 1 fold, Button calls $22.

Flop: ($62) J, J, Q (2 players)
Hero bets $40, Button calls $40.

Turn: ($142) Q (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $103.4, Hero calls $103.40.

River: ($348.80) K (2 players)
Hero checks, Hero calls $144.29.

Final Pot: $493.09


Also I've been learning the value of paying attention to the tables a bit as part of my aggreement with myself yesterday. A couple of hours before I put a little note on this guy saying " lead out bluffs". This note let me do this with confidence:

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

All in all a good day. Hopefully tomorrow will be the same.

BR: $9052
your op is looking very good. i hope to do something similar this summer. probably not as big though. similar starting br, but smaller end goal because of less time.

this particular post interested me. do you always play AJo so aggressively from the blinds? i would just call with AJ pf in the 1st hand because I don't want to play a big pot oop with a 2nd best hand to a pf 3bet. in position i might do it, but why do you choose to do it from sb? is it read specific?
also, you say that you played the 1st hand great. why do you say that? what was going thru your head and why did you think you played it so well. your answer is obviously going 2 b very read specific and i'm interested to hear you're thinking on the hand.

also, about "lead out bluffs". i find that most of the time that someone leads out at me at $200Nl, it means that they don't have a great hand and they're trying to find out where they are at or get a "free" card.
if they do have a big hand then they would in general go for a checkraise. i think raising when you're lead into as pf aggressor is usually a sign of weakness and a lot the time i raise in that spot no matter what my cards are.
