One of the tables (the one where I ground out a medium profit) I was playing pretty well. The one I busted on, I was playing pretty LAG. It wasn't dreadful, I was just getting into too many pots and then not getting out of them. This is an example of that; it's not terrible, but when you limp/call/call a lot, it adds up over time. Raise up or stand up, that should be my motto.

And at no point can I really see where I went wrong. Of course, this isn't a nightmare, I lose about a dollar, but the point is that I shouldn't have been in there. J3s is outside my tight range, and limping a hand with crappy prospects (4th nut flush FTW!) isn't good. Moving on...

This was the first hand from my good table.

This guy overbet the pot on the previous hand (I sat down part way through) and that's all I knew about him, but it makes me think he's not afraid to put money out with nothing, and therefore might well bet weak holdings. I'm dubious about the turn call but it's pretty small at half-pot and I have a legitimate hand (kinda). The river made me more confident, as it paired the board again, but I felt raising would be too aggressive with what was a marginal hand for me.

And here we see someone posting out of position and losing to nine high.

That's just how hot I was running on that table (my winning table; the cards were with me a little bit, but I was winning a procession of small pots rather than a few big ones.)

And here's me going bust on one table. I'd just lost most of my stack on a semi-bluff (two high cards on a rag board and he calls with bottom pair. Should've stopped betting after he called the turn, but that's no fun)

I was hoping to steal there, or run into smaller pairs or big overcards. None of those happened. Oh well. Could've played this better, but even had I flat called, I'm not escaping that flop.

The table I played well, I was really happy with. The other two, not so much.
