UPDATE:
Hey guys, been quite some time since my last update. Tried to take shots at 2/5 and ended up not being so good. Bad practice of bankroll management

Nothing too notable this session, went card dead for 7 hours and never managed to hit any of my hands.

Ran into some spots vs short stacks within the first 15 minutes of my hand. I 3!/got it in vs a $300 short stack with QQ vs KK and then the hand right after got it in on the river with KJ vs JT on a JJ73T board for another ~650$ dollar pot. I went card dead for the next 8ish hours.
Horseshoe Casino $1/$3
1/18/16: -$
8/8hrs
Stacked a $200 short stack within my first orbit as the BB(limped pot) with J3o vs Kx on a KJ357 board. Table is super loose and fishy, as it is expected at the horseshoe(compared to maryland live).
Failed bluff of the night:
Effective stacks $420
2 limpers, I overlimp with 6
6
, solid TAG raises to $17 OTB, rest fold, I call.
FLOP: 5
4
5
I check, TAG bets 20, I call.
Turn: 8
I check, Tag bets 40, I raise to $125, he tank calls.
River 2
I shove for my remaining 260, he snaps with 44
Against most of villains range, I thought this would be a tough spot for him to call. I've been playing relatively tight most of the night. River bluff might've been really ambitious but I thought if he had an overpair he would be able to give me credit here a lot. Thoughts and advice?

1/21/16: +$
1250/11.5hrs
Been playing for roughly 10 hours at this point and managed to build my stack up to $850(in for 500). The table had been super juicy all day and night, with upwards of $4k between all the players. Several fish had been going on mega heaters hitting hands so the atmosphere at the table had been great
H1:
Effective stacks: 270
5 limpers, I raise to $20 with A
K
, shortie in the small blind goes all in for 70, first limper(MAWG playing bingo poker) flats, hero shoves for his remaining 200, villain folds. Hero wins vs KK on a A3774 board.
H2:
Effective stacks: 275
Same villain from UTG raises to 10, 3 callers, hero in the SB raises to 55 with Q
Q
, UTG calls, button calls.
Flop: 835 rainbow
I bet 120, UTG calls, button folds
Turn: 9
Hero shoves villain in for his remaining 100 and he snap calls with 24o, hero holds.
H3:
Effective stacks: $400
Villain is a middle aged indian guy who has been smashing flops but have also seen him severely overvalue top pair type hands. I've seen him call large river bets with just top pair on wet boards. Since then, his chip stack went down from 1400 to 400 in about 2 hours. Seems to play ATC preflop as long as he has a paint card to go with it. Seems very frustrated at this point after losing several large pots in a row
Hero raises to 12 UTG with K
K
, villain calls from the BB
Flop: Q
T
3
Hero bets 15, villain flats
Turn: T
Hero bets 35, villain raises to 100, hero flats.
River: 6
Villain checks, Hero bets $120(should've gone larger here maybe?), villain snaps with Q8o and MHIG
H4:
Played my biggest pot yet.
Effective stacks: $850
3 limps, I limp in the HJ with T
8
, CO raises to 8, 4 callers, hero calls.
Flop: 6
7
9
Short stack moves all in for 59, hero flats, button flats.
Turn: K
I bet 120, button snap calls(huge warning bells go off in my head because he has been playing super snug post flop, and I had a really big hunch villain has a big big hand).
River: 3
I overbet shove for about $650, making my hand look as bluffy as possible and try to get max value from villain. Villain tanks for 2 minutes and says something like "I don't know how i can possibly fold this hand" and calls with pocket 7s.
Been running insanely hot at 1/2 thus far: up $5,559 after 161 hours for a total of 20.43bb/hr. Need to remind myself to not take shots at 2/5 just yet, regardless of how juicy or soft the games are because my br is just not ready for that yet
! I'm super satisfied I was able to nearly climb out of my hole after losing roughly 1.4k at 2/5.
