Results are looking good so far - good luck from here on out!

Your method of play seems fairly high variance. Are you calling with T8s type hands vs 3bets as standard, or only vs. certain players in certain situations?

Not a criticism, just trying to learn.

Eg.

You have AA and villain has 27. Both of you have $100. You open $99 preflop and he calls. Flop is 222. You put in the last $1 and he calls.

Your all in ev in this hand is calculated to be -$100 rather than +$98 because of limitations in the software.

I'll do it at times, but a few criteria must be fulfilled.

1. I have position postflop
2. Specific villian type - 3bet light/cbets too much/plays 100% fit or fold
3. Deep effective stack

I admit such moves are not really necessary to win at the micros, I just want to improve my postflop skills as much as possible so that I can feel more comfortable when I am able to move up stake.

Probably not a good play, but I've seen him bet small and shove over a small raise with AK high on low card flop in a 4bet pot, so I think his range contains tons of bluff here.
Be careful not to confuse "bluffs" with spazzing out. I would agree with you that villain may be capable of getting it in without a very strong hand; however, it's quite a stretch to assume that villain is likely to committ 100BB+ pre-flop with a hand that doesn't dominate AQo.

End of Day 7

The 2nd session is probably 1 of the craziest I've had since a long time. Was down 3 buyins over a short span of time, with my flopped bottom set getting it in on the flop and losing to a higher set or top 2 pairs hitting 4 outers.

They don't, but they win so hard and play so much, the swings look smaller.

But nice going, pretty sick so far dude, you should consider moving to iPoker and getting a much better RB deal.

2nd session of Day 8

Poker is fair, this time I am on the good side of variance. I switched to a standard TAG style and it works out for this session. At one point on a table my stats was like 3/3 after 35 hands!

Biggest pot won of session. Easy game when you flopped a boat on a two tone board.

Yeah I have to agree. On the bright side, I have experience multitabling and I have played 25NL on FTP for quite some time, so I sort of understand how the games run. Of course, it is nice that I am running fine.

End of Day 8

Didn't finish the day with a profit, tons of players who 3bet light are sitting on my left, but I decided to play on due to fishes on those tables.

How to deal with light 3bettor

Biggest pot won of session. 1) Slowplay your aces and wait for them to stack off.
