Since my last post, I've been on a ridiculous run. I'm up $28 over 851 hands for a monster 66bb/100. And that's with making some seriously bad calls that have left me starting off in the hole in my sessions. I'm up to $78.06 now in my 5nl career. If all goes well and I don't get too unlucky I should easily hit $80 before I leave Friday afternoon.
I'll be gone to Vermont visiting relatives all weekend so there won't be any more chance of playing until Sunday night. Right now, without a job, I'm able to play roughly 250 hands per day. I've decided to play almost all single table 6-max. I am making a killing on it and I can play much more aggressively as well. FR is just too boring when you single table. Why not play more tables? For some reason I do horrible when playing 2 or more tables.
Here's two hands from my last session. I'd like someone's opinion if they care to give it...
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (3 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com
Button ($5.80)
Hero (SB) ($10.02)
BB ($3.10)
Preflop: Hero is SB with K , J
Button bets $0.20, Hero calls $0.18, BB calls $0.15
Flop: ($0.60) 4 , K , 4 (3 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, Button checks
Turn: ($0.60) J (3 players)
Hero bets $0.30, 1 fold, Button calls $0.30
River: ($1.20) Q (2 players)
Hero bets $0.70, Button raises to $2.05, Hero calls $1.35
Total pot: $5.30 | Rake: $0.25
Results:
Button had Q , Q (full house, Queens over fours).
Hero mucked K , J (two pair, Kings and Jacks).
Outcome: Button won $5.05
I was confused and made the call at the end. I did not put him on such a premium hand. Three-handed, I'll call those kind of raises even OOP occasionally because they'll fold to aggression on the flop if they don't hit. I think my biggest mistake was only raising .30 on the turn, although I probably should have raised the flop as well.
Here's a call that I actually won...

He had been raising the flop nearly every time so I thought a re-raise would win it right there. When he called I thought I was in trouble. Then his idiotic .20 raise had to be called. I thought about it for a bit before I called his all-in. There's only one card in the deck that beats me and I wasn't sure he'd go all-in with it. I would have thought he would go for the value bet instead.
Honestly, I'm torn on the hand. Does anyone fold this hand?
