Wowwowowwow. I don't think I've ever run as bad in a single session as I did this morning. Standard aces cracked in a 3bet pot, a couple of pre-flop AI coolers, but there was also this beauty. I didn't feel tilted at all during the session... in fact I was just laughing at the absurdity of poker. I think I only tilt when I'm getting outplayed or run over. Of course it helped that there were only two 5/10 tables running so all of this happened at 2/4 and 3/6.

Playing Back at Squeezers

I've been experimenting with shoving over squeezes recently instead of 4betting small like I do over 3bets. If you 4bet small over a squeeze and get shoved on you're getting a better price than if you do it over a 3bet, so it's less often correct to fold. Plus I think villains are more likely to semibluff 5bet if the pot is already bloated like it is in squeezed pots. Here are a few examples from today...

1. SB is a loose passive fish, BB is a frequent 3bettor.

SB ($920.90)
BB ($600.00)

Hero raises to $21.00, 2 folds, SB calls $18.00, BB raises to $84.00, Hero raises to $615.00 (All-In), 2 folds

2. CO is a loose passive fish, button is a frequent 3bettor.

1 fold, Hero raises to $14.00, CO calls $14.00, Button raises to $60.00, 2 folds, Hero raises to $425.60 (All-In), 2 folds

3. Button is a loose passive fish, SB is a frequent 3bettor (see a pattern?). SB tanked before calling so if I might even have FE vs. a hand this good.

Thoughts welcome.

Almost forgot, I induced another all-in call in chat today! Not as big a brag as yesterday because it was from AQ on a QTxT board but again I typed "fold" "I have a ten" when he was timebanking and he snapped I recommmend trying it vs. fish, it has to be the best thing I've ever done in poker.
