River folds, or is that weak
I'm a showdown monkey, which catches enough fish at 1/2 and 2/4 so that it doesn't seem to be a problem. These both looked like the kind of calls I always make but maybe shouldn't.

Re: When to stop the swing?
I wanted to experiment with a few changes in my game so I moved down to 1/2 from my usual 2/4 and 3/6. I had a wicked bad run of people making river flushes on me when I couldn't make any of my FDs,...

I love these hands where you've got outs, you just don't know which ones you're hoping for.
I play it the same. Obviously when you get raised on the turn you wish you had checked, but that's...

AQ has gut shot but faces turn raise
Villain and I seem to be on the same schedule and going after the same fish. He's 26/18/1.6 over a couple thousand hands, but he chases draws and bluffs too much. I could almost auto raise or reraise...

Re: How To Loosen Up
You don't need to loosen up much at all. More PFR would probably be good, though.
