Todays grind started off very well with me taking 4 buy ins off of one of my buddies from back home. There is a lot of history here and he is just generally a bad player.

After that I hit up the ring games and 4 tabled, losing 2 buy ins where I quit. I think these hands are good example of plays I typically have trouble with and if anyone reads this, please reply. I will probably be posting in the short-handed forum anyway.

Overall I played 391 hands for a profit of 67 dollars.

Heres the fun ones first.

Now here comes the tough ones. What is the plan after he min-raises my turn bet? He is a loose-passive bad player. 60ish VPIP. Should I call raise and check-call river? Even if he pushes?

Villain in this hand is also loose passive and very bad. Running 60/8/1.8. Can I really lay this down to this player?

Villain is relatively loose and aggressive. Running 40/18 with a 4 turn agg factor over a small sample. His river agg factor at the time was infinite.

Villains line here really made no sense. I guess I have to fold to his river overbet though.
