I really don´t wanna play for stacks at this point. Villian represents a made low flush or some weird two pair, given that he´s not overly aggro its prolly more flushes than that. B/3b would put me in an awkward spot if he shoves over. I have good equity in this pot, but dont want to felt it yet.

I don't like giving free cards on these board and we have a good hand. Plus he might push a Kh if you raise and you still have equity against a flush ...
The trouble is that with another you're action is dead and you may be behind ...

I see your point, let me go deeper into detail: Villian was the weak-tight nitfish, who a) is not very likely to chase the bare Qh and who doesnt raise the Kh anywhere and b) who is more worried about his cards than mine. This puts me in a spot, where a b/3b turns my hand into a bluff and as I said before, would you stack off if he 4bet shoves? I wouldnt. So b/c (some might even vote for c/c) doesnt ruin the value my hand has, gives me a good price to fill up vs his flush and I can profitably rep KhX/QhX on 4 flush rivers.

If villain is weak-tight then I agree here! If he 4bet shoves we cannot call the TURN. So b/c here is good. Now I don't think villain folds too many 4th flush RIVERs if he has a medium flush ...

I haven´t been updating my OP for a long time, so I guess it´s time to give a brief summary of whats been happening.

My BR is dwindling down to something between 9 and 10k. Like I said before, I´m forced to cash out frequently to pay for my living expenses and I fail at cutting down spending habits. Beside that I spend a lot of money on fixing and tuning my bike and will go on vacation to the french alps in august and rock the shit out of their trails. What really sucks is, that my boss messed up my holidays and I´m at work, when my buddies head off to france, so I´ve got to catch up with them one day later. It sucks, b/c there´s no flight avaible to Geneve, what would be only an hour away from our hotel, and the train takes like 12 hrs and won´t be avaible before sunday morning, what would make lose not one, but two days. So I´m prolly renting car and driving down to france on saturday night, what will sum up for something around 300EUR extra. Fuck gas prices.

Poker alone goes decently well, even though I dropped almost 12 BI consecutively at 1/2NL. The fact, that the last 30k hands of 6max went straight up and that I´m playing a lot of 200BB tables makes this less brutal than it might look like. I haven´t got to play a lot lately, I´ve got exams going on until 14th of July and spend most of my time in the library or working out/riding bikes and BMX. Operations research made me wanna cut myself and eventually the prof came up with a really shitty and unexpected test. I havent seen the results yet, fingers crossed, that my score is enough to get a C+ or better. I´ve got tech assessment and enterprise knowledge management left and then I´ll be back on my grind.

And I started playing golf. It´s just sick. I´ve always been into extreme and individual sports and didnt even consider golf a sport until maybe two weeks ago. Obv I suck balls at this game and am only donking around on the driving range or nearby fields with an iron 9, but fuck me, its the worlds most tilting activity ever. If you got tilt issues, get a golf club and buy a box of lakeballs. Makes me realize how bad I´m tilting myself , that it doesnt take a third person to lose focus and to constrain me and teaches how to handle tilt. It´s sort of trying new tricks on the BMX, where you go on wheel tilt at some point.


Thats it for now, have a nice grind ahead, Toto
