I guess my offering was accepted, although it didn't seem like it at first.
Fold my first hand of the session, my second hand I pick up QQ. 3 limpers, I raise to $30 from MP, LP guy calls, BB raises to $60, I think for a bit and look at the guy, he's older, maybe 35-40. Idk what he would want to min-raise me with, theres still another guy to act. He has a $300 stack and so does the other guy, I have $500. I decide to min-raise GII. LP guy tanks forever and folds, BB jams all in. I call and get shown AA. I complain in my head for a bit and happened to be texting Duke at the moment. I asked what he'd do in that spot, he said "Never getting it in. BB usually has KK+ here." Yep, it was pretty obvious. It was irritating me that I got it in knowing I'd be behind often and decided to stack off because "It was 60 bbs man". It seems like it isn't terrible in a vacuum (to me anyway) but if I want to maximally exploit I have to set mine there. Its live poker. A few seconds later the LP guy was talking about how he folded QQ. Even he got away from it lol.
Next big hand I get a big draw with 7

board GII and brick out and get shown AA. Bleed a few other hands and I'm in for $1200. Finally hit a good flop with AKo, jam turn, lady hits a straight on the river. In for $1700. Pretty much over the session and I tell my self if I drop $2k I'm going to cut the session short. I was very fortunate to win the next small pots I played and started to slowly chip up. I got lucky one hand where I had 55 as the PFR and turned a set and got paid off by a weak ace for a decent pot. After about 9 hours, I was hovering around with a $1500 stack, the table was deep and it was early in the morning.
I'm in EP and look down at K

Yes! Finally on the good side of a cooler and it feels good. A little later I get AKo, squeeze to 100 after 3 people call an open, PFR jams for 400, I call. He has TT. K on the flop for the win. Heat. Table got short and game ended when some people got up. Decided to call it a win at 11 hours and +$
1850. Its been a while...
It'd be nice to keep the momentum up and finish August strong. Volume is at 91 hours, about average or slightly below I guess, I'd be happy with 140+. I messed up my sleep schedule again so hopefully I can reset after tonights session.
