Last night I had a very nice session winning some 4man HUs I played on my own. Sunday nights are so fkn juicy!
Profit of the session was little more than 1k to turn the October profit (including rakeback) into $2,3440 so far.

Here is a quite interesting hand I played against a quite obvious, scared playing oppenent. At the turn I was pretty sure (about 85%) that he just hit the 5, so it’s a clear call regarding my odds and implied odds to hit one of my 14 outs (were only 13):

The flop action was pretty standard. With his two pair he has the better hand in most cases and I like his check-raise. I don’t like the amount of his bet though. He should have reraised to much more to have the option to shove the turn if any blank came. His turn bet is really really weak and shows how scared he was. A lot of unexperienced players would do the same, cuz they are scared of an 8 or a better 5 in the oppenents’ hand. But, he is committing all of his chips either. He didn’t want to fold on the river, so why not check-raising flop the flop to 650 and shoving the turn on a blank?
He played his hand so obvious that I could easily shove the river being sure I had him beat.

While playing some HUs I had another very nice mikogo-session with Anders and discussed a lot of spots in different matches. He saw me playing the daily HU tourney as well until I made a weak push at high blinds preflop and finished 19th (worth $73.50).

Actual 115s winning rate: 30/47
