Win a little one bb v bu, bluff stabing turn. Puts me at about 10k, then an utg limp, mp iso to 900, mp call, bu call, I rip AJs sb and get folds all around.
Was just mulling over the AK fold from earlier and have somewhat worked out my breakeven on the call. Basically the side pot between me and the 4bettor was 18k which I assume I have 65% equity in when using a very loose iso jamming range, conservatively I have 60%. So in that side pot I stand to make ~11,700 chips. Which means in the main pot (~18k) I only need to recoup 1.3k ish to be breakeven on the call. Obv I should be making at least that back even with tight ranges all around. Seems hero made a marginally bad fold but a great spot to learn from. Will likely use some software later to see exactly what I stand to make in the spot. Having over half the table covered when I fold has to factor in to the decision a tad too I believe. But it probably won't outweigh the advantage of having a 45k stack moving forward ha.
Weeeee, with a bb with 2bb behind, a limp, I shove 66 for 7bb, a call from Bu big stack, bb allin for less, limper calls. We turn a boat to ship no sweat. Free rolling tournament and 15k ish
Shove AT hj and lose to AK. Gg. Hate my AK fold early but otherwise fairly happy with my spot selection at a tough table all day. Will get a real run soon.

Looking to likely take wednesday off and enjoy a day with the gf (belated bday celebration). Will try and fire a bullet in WPT500 thursday and then WSOP 8max on friday. Thought about trying to play the venetian 1600 tmrw but 1A day 2 qualifiers is a who's who of poker badasses and that dick swinging contest isn't gonna be a worthwhile one. I left it off schedule because I figured it'd have a lot of solid players with not many good NL events running.
Been snug, lost the only 3 pots I've played, small ones. Then at 150/300/50, an ep limp from a fairly tight seeming player, a call in sb I check Kc3x bb. Flop 3cQxTc, limper bets 700 into 1.4k, i xr to 1.8k, he calls. He has me covered, I have about 9k behind on turn and lead an Ax turn, he calls. River Ac, I jam and he folds. Pretty much one of the very few bluffs I have so seems fine. . I then go on to flat AThh in position 4 way and river a straight after missing my flush to chip up about 7kish, don't show down. Then win KK>AQs vs 15bb or so shove. Then I open ATo mp and get 3b by bu and he folds to my 2.7x 4b. Running over table at the moment.
Been card dead since my last run. Lost about 4k in a standard bvb confrontation. Then couple orbits later I open Ad3x bu, bb loose ish player flats. Flop 9dJd6x, I check back. Turn 4x, he leads less than half pot, I float expecting to bluff diamond rivers and checking back to win at times there's no ace. River 8x goes xx and I lose to QJ. Not sure if I should be bluffing that river, I do have some 89/86/88 and it's possible I have a combo or two of QT. Interesting spot. If bluffing should probably be for like pot or more.
Hero passes on a close spot. Open hj AJs 1.8k, bu shoves 19k into 4k pot, hero has ~17K behind and needs btwn 40-45% eq, I think v has a very discernable range of most pairs and AQs+ and possibly an Axs bluff... Hero doesn't have over 42% so it's fairly trivial fold at that table. Vs a better player at a tough table, I snap. I can discount AA /kk and maybe QQ somewhat heavily I think and I feel this player flats AQ more often than not so it is fairly close. If he does this with all AQ and QQ, it's a snap fold. If he 3b a lot of his AK and big pairs, it's much closer to a call. Hard to say but I favor letting go of overly marginal spots when I know I can easily find chips elsewhere. A rule I have wrongfully abandoned at a couple key times this summer and kick myself each time... I

Thought reg was 11am for 888 today and obv it's 10am so decided to skip and get some quality range building time in front of computer and hit the gym before the 4pm bullet.
