Well, my image was dangerous/aggro when that hand happened so no image concerns with c/f'ing.
If I had decided to play that hand instead of setmining, I would prob 3b pre because while young player was competent, I also had a read he wasn't a semipro+ and probably only had a few hundred dollars for poker at the time. But similar situation here so I shied away from the optimal strat as well.
Obv I have no idea where the profit is at yet!

...at the very least until the time comes to call a $100+ bet on the river. Although I agree raising and cbetting CAN work at the right table. (Not sure that any of the 20+ 1/2 tables this past weekend fit that description. OMC from FL pretty much **** his pants about how our table was playing bigger than his usual 2/5 lol. Makes sense, I suppose, when $15 raise pre gets 5-6 callers?)

If $15 is routinely getting 5+ callers, you don't make it 15, you make it 25, or 30, or whatever it takes to iso the action. The bigger the better. There's no reason to not make a 20bb open-raise if people are calling it.

Weird thing is, while $15 gets 5, $20 gets zero. Anything in between is literally a coin flip. Maybe I just suck at pf bet sizing, I dunno.

Good to know LLSNL games are still this godawful though.
thought it had gotten to the point where the average villain was like a level 1 hand-chart nit or whatever.

Just did some napkin math and realized I'm probably still down around $500 if gas expenses are included.
Also eye-opening: 6bb covers gas, but if I only play a 2-3 hour session as I am wont to do during the week, that's 20-30% of a 10bb/hr player's profit, and I really don't have a good idea of what my longterm hourly will end up being yet.
I mean, I guess I've earned about 400 comp$ but there's not much value in those to me besides occasional convenience. Being able to use them at CCF will be an improvement.

Suffered a setback yesterday but I'm generally pleased with my play recently.
Pretty excited about October schedule. They changed the high hand schedule around so it's only Mon-Thur 12-10, and Fridays $500 random seat giveaways. Nothing on Saturdays so it'll be nice to play without thinking things like "oh good time to take a break since the HH is a sflush to the King"
Also, Sunday evenings should be pretty cool for cash drawings and a freakin' Mercedes given away each week.
