$460 win in 3.75hrs at 2/5 live
Played a somewhat short session today (3.75hrs) and cashed out $460 profit. Slightly disappointed though, since I was $1200 up at one stage, but then made some questionable plays which cost me quite a bit. This is part of what caused me to quit my session early: I didn't want to risk "booking a loss" after previously being $1200 up, so the moment I started losing some big pots, I got scared and cashed out whilst I was still up... I need to fix this mentality.
I got involved in a lot of big pots today. I can't list them all, so I'll just pick 6 random ones:

I think I misplayed this... should've cbet small instead, and folded if anyone raised flop.
Hand 6: Should've just barreled
$900 effective
UTG limps $5
MP raises $30
Hero 3bets $120 SB with KQss
UTG calls $120
MP tank folds
Slightly confused by his decision to limp-coldcall $120... I thought he might be trapping with JJ-AA, but he also might just have a medium strength hand like 77-TT or any suited broadways that he just wants to go for the royal flush jackpot with.
Flop ($262) Ts 3d 2c
Hero bets $75
UTG calls $75
He looked like he was about to fold, even double checked his cards, then eventually sigh called.
Turn ($412) Ts 3d 2c 2s
Hero checks
(planning to x/jam)
UTG quickly checks
I think this was a mistake. I should've just barreled like $250 instead. People tend to get more scared/passive in huge pots, so I can't expect him to overstab here.
River ($412) Ts 3d 2c 2s 4h
Both check
I plan to do something else poker-related tonight; whether it's playing online, studying pio, watching poker videos, or even returning to the casino for round 2.
