During my session today I was involved in a couple hands where regulars did absolutely ridiculous things. Unsurprisingly, said regulars were of the "break even at best" variety which is no surprise, but more on that later.
I ran just terribly during my Friday session, and despite still being well below expectation over my hands on Saturday had a fairly nice day at the tables winning a little over a grand. More encouragingly, I managed 12.5k hands on Saturday - one day does not make consistent heavy volume, but it's good to know I can still get my grind on. It of course helped that the Flames didn't play tonight, as that frees up ~3 hours of grind time that would otherwise be spent watching hockey.
Anyway, as I mentioned before the most heinous "wtf are you doing?" moment with a regular today is below. Why risk a $35 overbet repping the nuts when you could instead risk $86.80 effective? Not that having an overbetting range on that river is a good idea in the first place.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (8 handed)
SB ($147.10)
BB ($100)
UTG ($151.15)
UTG+1 ($106.70)
MP1 ($313.60)
MP2 ($265.70)
CO ($102.20)
Hero (Button) ($100)
Preflop: Hero is Button with Q♠, Q♥
4 folds, CO bets $2.50, Hero calls $2.50, 2 folds
Flop: ($8.10) 3♥, 3♣, 2♦ (2 players)
CO bets $3.50, Hero calls $3.50
Turn: ($15.10) Q♣ (2 players)
CO bets $7, Hero calls $7
River: ($29.10) 6♣ (2 players)
CO bets $89 (All-In), Hero calls $86.80 (All-In)
Total pot: $202.70 | Rake: $3
Results:
Hero had Q♠, Q♥ (full house, Queens over threes).
CO had 5♠, A♣ (one pair, threes).
Outcome: Hero won $199.70
Later on, I also had a regular bet/3b the flop to 61bbs of the 100bb effective stacks and fold to my shove. If you're going to rebluff with no equity, smaller might be a better idea - though like above doing so in general is probably retardation.

wow, nice bluff right into your hands!
I'm guilty as charged on 2 counts, 1. making a bad river call vs u today and 2. Being a break even reg.
Serious question though. There is no link on your site re your coachin offereing. Please could you drop me a line on my blog re your rates and how I can contact you, thx.
I posted a reply to your latter question on your blog.
For what it's worth, I don't think your river call was bad. I can potentially be value raising KJ or QJ, plus you can definitely chop against KQ sometimes. I was definitely happy I didn't get 3bet on the river though.
