Ugh. What a grinding day. 1.6k hands, +$230. Running at 3.5PTBB... fun. Flopped exactly *one* set over all these hands, didn't get any action. Couldn't even flop a pair for my first 500 hands. So I was about -$400 and getting rather tilted when this hand came up. I was just like... fu, I've got a pair and you've got only 60BBs.

Then came this fun hand. I mean, really, what are you thinking bluffing the flop as weak as that? I thought I had enough outs to make the call.

That brought me back to even. So I grind and grind and grind myself down to -$200 again. Luckily Stars gave me the greatest suckout ever a little bit later. There was some history here. I really felt his preflop reraise was FOS because of his sizing. I thought he could very well have missed the flop. So I bluffraise in a reraised pot (not something I do, like, ever). I would make the same raise with QQ+ here, tho. So I get called... but I pick up an OESD on the turn. I didn't see anything he would just fold the turn with except maybe JJ, so I felt I had to check. Then he bets sooo weak. He gave me almost direct odds to draw. I was very close to just CRAI, but I couldn't pull the trigger. Plus he'd be getting ridiculous odds. Anyway, river was goot.
