End of day 1

I just finished the first day of my challenge. I'm aiming to get 3k hands of 2/4 per day at the moment. My plan is to do it in three sessions of around 2 hours each.

Today I played 3052 hands and made $1256. It would've been more but on my last hand I lost A3 on A93cc after some guy raised then shoved over my 3-bet with 74cc. The cool thing about putting in a lot of volume is that beats like that don't bother me as much because you just lose a stack so often in a day. Today I won a full stack eight times, and lost a full stack seven times.

This is probably the most interesting hand of the day. I felt like I needed to bet the turn for protection as there are so many draws out. I also thought that a better hand would raise the flop - certainly from the guy who overcalled (and then check raised). The guy in the middle was a fish, and the other guy was a regular.

Let me know what you think of this hand - any way you'd play it differently, any different thoughts, whatever.

So, the reg is the guy in the SB? I would probably have bet/folded the turn without some sort of dynamic going on, but I'm not sure it's correct. On the one hand, while better hands raise the flop a lot, so would strong draws. And a marginal made hand is not that likely to overcall the flop and turn itself into a bluff (again, assuming the SB is the reg). Plus, it's such a strong line to take on a blank turn.

But on the other hand, there are just so few combos that beat you here that don't raise the flop, that his line doesn't really make sense, so I can definitely see why you called, and the more I think about it, the more I like a call.

Heh, interesting hand, glad you're posting again :).
