April 4-6th Weekend Review

I played a beastly 8.5k hands between Saturday and Sunday this weekend. I'm happy with the way I played, and have solid results to show for it. My EV graph says I ran warm on hands that went all the way to showdown, but I'm certain I had far more cooler hands (most of which occurred during a brutal 4 hour downswing on Sunday) than heaters, and also couldn't draw to save my life. Since hands where I folded busted draws don't go to showdown, and heater vs. cooler hands can't be considered from an EV perspective at all, I'll go out on a limb and say that I ran close to average this weekend when considering the big picture.

Here's my Showdown EV graph ($375 total winnings, 4.4ptBB/100 winrate):


I had one pretty funny hand during my first Sunday session. A poker acquaintance of mine once mentioned how it really sucks when you misread your hand, and then have to try to bluff your way out of an ugly spot. Well, I had two tables on top of each other on my normal setup. At one, I had been dealt QQ and was waiting for the action to get around to me to raise. At the table directly beneath it there is an open minraise, followed by a 50/30/5/200 donkey in MP2 reraising it to $2, which then gets two callers behind. I think to myself this would be a great time to squeeze with QQ (I was on the button), and repop it to $8. In hindsight, I should have made it more like $10-$11 to go, but whatever. The real problem was, I didn't have QQ on this table, I had Q10. My pocket Queens were on the table directly above the one in question. Everyone except the donkey folds to my reraise, and I get what I would have wanted had I actually had QQ, a big pot heads up with a donk. Luckily, he bet weakly into a Kxx flop, and I just had to try to bluff him off it. The hand history is below:

What a mess. Hopefully I never forget which hand I have at which table again! I also misclick folded KK preflop during my Sunday session. Not my finest day.
