Didnt play at all over the weekend bc i was down the shore for memorial day. Had a great time but I am so sick of drinking now lol. Logged on today and saw some good 10/20 games running so I couldnt resist obviously and sat at a few tables, only to experience the usual riggedness that comes once I am sitting at any 10/20 tables. I know even looking at ev graphs is stupid but holdem manager does it automatically when you look at the graph so I can't help myself. Down 7k in all in expectation for the day and down 9500 total. This is particularly annoying bc Im leaving for europe on thursday until June 16th. I wont really be able to play there I don't think so I was hoping to grind up more of an online roll in preparation for vegas. Oh well.

Leaving for vegas on June 25th and staying at the Venetian with some college friends for 5 nights until I move into the house where the rain won't stop.

Here are some interesting hands from today:

I don't really know balugawhales game that well and wasn't sure what to put him on here. TBH I probly wouldve chk-folded turn on any blank too, but that card looks especially bad so when he bets it I gotta be toast. It's a tough spot to play bc folding flop feels too weak and if I commit on flop Im only getting it in behind. When I just call flop though it leaves the door wide open for him to fire a bunch of turns and put me in a real tough spot. AK I would just go with on the flop here. With KJ Im wondering what ppl think about min-3betting his raise and folding to a 4bet. Bc the stack sizes would be too awkward for him to shove a flush draw I think, so if he has a fd I think he's more likely to flat the min-3bet and play pretty straightforward after that. The only hands I think he 4bets are the NFD/sets/2pr/oesfd so we basically have no equity against that range anway. If he's on air I don't think he'll continue to play back to a 3bet, no matter how small. Would appreciate some input on this.

In this hand I just don't think he ever has anything that beats me, so my raise on the river is for value hoping maybe he'll make a spite call w A hi or if he turned a 6 into a bluff or something. Donks just don't bet that river w a ten like ever and if he turned a jack so be it, but I felt pretty confident that he had some missed fd/gutshot something random and thought there was some value in a raise on the river.

I flatted here bc I know hugo loves 3betting/squeezing and thought I might be able to get him to put it in light if he did so even w like AJ or something bc he tends to give me no respect since I play back very light against his 3bets (probly too light). When ghazzer flats thinks its a pretty easy shove by me since most ppl tend to 4bet QQ+ there hoping to get it in pre and not giving me odds to call w a wider range. This hand actually played out perfectly until river :p

I think this hand is pretty standard for me. Think I get more value out of QQ there by flatting pre and chk-raising a lot of good flops. Also widens my chk-raising range which is good for metagame. Think I have to go with it once he clicks it back too, I guess he could have AA/KK here as well but I still think Im in good shape against his range and when he clicks it back on such a dry flop I didn't expect him to have much to be honest. Nice hand by him.

This guy was a fish but not the type that went to every showdown or anything. I thought I had a ton of fold equity on river, and I like chk-raising there better than calling bc in theory I thought I could fold out a 9 if thats what he was betting or maybe TT/JJ or something. I would play a king this same way a decent amt letting him bet the river in case he had a missed draw. Good call by him I guess but I still think I like how I played it.
