I've had a bad run the past cpl days (mainly because of losing 2 flips worth 1700$ at nl200 lol). Feel like except for 1 or 2 spews I've played really well. I've pushed AK preflop 4 times in the past 2 days and been shown AA everytime (not exactly standard since ppl play back at me a lot).
My high-variance style lends itself to big swings, so this is to be expected, especially since I've started a grinding project where I'm actually gonna hopefully play some hands for once. As the regs pick up on my style, I'll be making necessary adjustements. I expect the first couple weeks to be a kind of feeling-out process.
Here are a couple hands that I think I played well from this morning's session. Any comments/thoughts appreciated but I'm posting these hands more to share them with ppl than for deep discussion.
My hud isn't working right now and I haven't used it for over 4 months anyways. My reads are mainly based on recent action at the table rather than stats over 10004340782738 hands.
1)
Tough, but relatively standard call with AA. Figured villain would check/call with a 10 and would have bet the turn with a K. His likely holdings here imo are diamonds, JQ, 10x and Kx (in that order).
Still hard to pull the trigger since some of the donks are so unpredictable :

I've been running hot vs this guy on a few tables, firing bullets and making call-downs. He hasn't fired a 2nd bullet without the goods. That being said, he's seen me call flops and fold on the turn a couple times in reraised pots. His timing made me think he was fed up with my floating and wanted me out of the hand :

Don't really have a justification for this hand (all streets are debatable). For some reason each street felt automatic :

I think I'm done with my blog, since I don't exactly want to post all my big hands anymore as I'll be playing a lot. I figure I'll just post trouble spots and fun hands in this forum from time to time.
Run well yall.
