I ran 27/21 this session. Here are some of the more interesting decisions or biggest pots I played. Some are wins, some losses, and some just LOL standard but I decided to include them anyways, partly so that some noobs could see smart players say "LOL standard."

1. This one was fun. It was villain's 2nd shove in a row (maybe 3rd since he sat down a few hands ago? I can't remember for sure). I was a little worried about UTG, but I'm pretty sure I have MP crushed and didn't want to pass up a huge edge.

3. Villain is somewhat aggressive postflop, a little loose preflop (MP was limping well over 60% of hands).

4. Villain's PFR was 5. I honestly thought flat calling his button raise would be sexy, but the SB calling kind of screwed that up.

5. This hand was pretty interesting. Villain was running like 24/24/24 (3-bet!) over 21 hands or so right after this hand was over. I'm pretty sure I was way ahead even before the turn.

6. Villain has a pretty wide range in late position, seems pretty TAGGy otherwise.

7. Villain's ATSB is between 20 and 30. I thought there was a decent chance I was ahead on both the flop and the turn (I was thinking overcard with flush draw was most likely). Also, I hadn't reloaded lately and wanted to take advantage of my shortish stack .

9. I have AA BvB, so who needs reads ? We haven't really tangled at all, but his attempt to steal was somewhere between 20 and 30 if I remember correctly.

10. I raise 88 over a bunch of limpers and get called in 3 places . Then I flop a set . What is our plan if that 8 on the board was a deuce?

Flop: ($7) K, 8, 5 (4 players)

11. Villain has like a 6 PFR. I just fold-and-showed (a great AP feature, btw) AQo on the previous orbit to his early position open. I thought he might open a little lighter with a poster (CO) in there, and I was in the mood to 3-bet him for some reason (probably because I think it's sick having to simply fold AQo in 6-max).
