Rough Session

Had a lot of big hands that did not go my way (and a couple that did).  I think I played fine, but you be the judge on these big ones (they're not all necessarily losers...the key is they have postflop action.

==================================================

Villain is a regular with TAG stats, on the tight side.  I've been pretty active on the table, but with cards, so I haven't shown down anything out of line yet.

Not a hand I'll always play, but the circumstances were good here.  BTN is tight, BB is loose, most of the time I'll have a pretty easy hand to play postflop.  That said, I don't think this hand ended up being easy.  Can't fold on the flop, but not sure a raise gets called by worse, and can't stand to be reraised, which would make me give up TP+gutshot.  I didn't think through his range well enough at the table, though, and played the turn pretty poor.  He's got to have something, or I don't think he makes the flop c-bet.  He's aggressive, but there are 3 other people in the pot and the board is drawy.  When he checks the turn, I think that I'm probably ahead, but the more relevant question is whether I'm ahead when he check/calls (maybe), and whether I'm ahead to his c/r (almost never).  I think now that the bet was fine, but I need to fold to the CRAI, which is such a strong move.  Or, I could get lucky and have him play AA as the nuts!

=========================================

Villain here was total LAG smack tallker, big plays, big loser in my database, although I didn't have any specific notes on him before the session.  He showed a double barrel turn/river bluff after I folded the river, and it was on a scare turn.  He plays over 50% of his hands and will get in light.  Same table as the hand above, and it happened soon after.

With the read above, I'm fine with the hand.  I showed that I will play a marginal hand, if he was paying attention.  Against a sane player, I would fold to the raise.

============================================

A different LAG...this ones somewhat reasonable stats wise, but have no notes on him.  He's 27/15, but his 3-bet preflop is 11%!  Over a couple thousand hands.  Postflop he is also very aggressive.

My biggest question was whether to shove preflop or wait for a non A/K board.  I planned to get it in somehow if an ace or king didn't show up.  Mission accomplished :).
