Ahhhhhhhhhh

Just jumped on the tables for a nice morning session and the donks were everywhere only I was running like dirt. I honestly think the most frustrating thing in poker is playing against people who you know are where your profit comes from yet you just cant seem to win at showdown vs them no matter what. I did possibly overplay a huge combo draw deep but I mean shit when I get it in with 58% equity on the flop I cant complain. Its just terribly annoying to have a solid Monday and start today on such a sour note. Anyways I will be grinding a ton of hands today as tomorrow I leave for LA and wont be back till Saturday. Obviously if I drop a few more BI today I might have to skip play and spend some time studying.

Unfortunately in an attempt to play more hands because of lack of volume this month I have been 5&6 tabling. That must stop! 4 tables por vida!

The combo draw vs a mega drooler: This guy had been leading draws as well as air so I am sure he has hand when he XMR though not sure how strong. Given that should I call and see a turn? If so and we dont improve I excpect a pot sized bet as that was his standard if not an overbet though he seemed to overbet mainly as a bluff. My thinking was that I have insane equity vs his range and I want to realize it by 3betting the flop an amount will let me jam the turn with some FE if I miss.

I'd flat the flop here. 1, You're getting great odds. 2, You need to get the last bet in on the flop (as you have Q high and could get in against KQ and A/K high flush draws) and you can't shove.

If I'd known he could do his flop raise with second pair I'd definitely have 3-bet to push him off. If I'd known he wouldn't fold I would've just peeled!

Dodgyen plays draws and deep like a bonified fag. Your play is fine. Now go spend them Sklansky bucks!
