Starting Feb off on a heater, which is nice since I've never really had one like this:



Pretty happy about redline, working a lot on not calling pre with pp's vs wide ranges, isolating, attacking weak-tight preflop players etc

Eventful hand vs crazy guy. A few hands earlier he limp/shoved Q-10 and sucked out on my JJ. So this was a rollercoaster of a sweet revenge hand:

I have been experimenting with check/raising villains who like to call my late position opens on the button with wide ranges on dry flops and it seems to be working well. I do this when my range consists of draws and air, as I rarely get shoved on and I can usually easily give up when they stay interested as they have been at the top of their range. It just seems that the regs have the fear of god put into them when they get check raised, and since their ranges are so weak anyways I get a lllloootttt of folds.

Two examples: Both villains loved to call on the button and had a high % of betting when checked to.

I will continue to try this out and see what happens. I think its good if villains are incapable of adjusting, though I think I should try to throw in some strong hands when I do this every now and again.

Life related: Got hired as a certified supply teacher, and I start and the end of the month. It'll be nice to get payed twice as much as an uncertified supply teacher, plus if I don't like a class I don't have to go back!

For the lols, and I find this more funny b/c I'm Canadian:
