played a 1500 hand session this afternoon for +$56. I was down 3 full buyins almost immediately due to 2 suckouts and a bad 3 street bluff but battled back and played well. I lost 150bbs on one of my last hands with bottom set vs top set but oh well, that shit happens. It was disappointing because i made almost a 7 buyin upswing during my session unil losing that hand. and the guy angle shot me, not that it really mattered. There were 2 hands i played during the session that felt like the right decision equity wise and after looking at them in pokerstove afterwards i was not getting the proper odds like i thought i was.


hand 1: villain was 24/18 over 225 hands and hadnt shown down any trash. Im pretty sure I have 10 clean outs here giving me ~38% equity or so. I was 1.65:1 to hit and only getting 1.3:1 on my money. Thought it was closer while playing. His oversized shove looked like a bluff/air/overpair to me so i talked myself into a call.

hand 2: villain was 16/1.5/5 over 65 hands. Usually my thinking is TP + FD = get all my money in as fast as i can, and against someone thats fairly aggro here and who doesnt raise/reraise much i think i do ok vs his range but after looking back over i wasnt getting proper odds here either.
