Still enjoying my time on Gala.

Winning at 5bb/100 over my first 4,000 hands and that is after a big downswing.




I still feel I am playing quite well but there are a few hands where I have lost that I think I could have played better.

It felt like a close one for me but I thought it was more likely that he had a weaker ace or a busted flush draw. The check back on the turn really threw me. Would anyone have played this differently?

This one was particularly painful as I was sure I was taking down this pot. I think the squeeze was fine but I didnt expect that when villain called that he was ever on a straight draw here. In hindsight would he have called my turn bet with TT,JJ,QQ etc with an ace on the flop? Probably not. I put him on one of those hands or AK,AQ. Would anyone have played this differently?

Similar to the first one here. Villain went call, check, check shove. Made my straight on the river, even though the board paired I wasn't even considering full house due to the checks on flop and turn.

I just dont give them any credit when they are overbet shoving the river after playing so passively for the rest of the hand, seems bluffy but maybe at 5NL it is usually for value? Anyone seen this behavior too?

Any advice on any of these hands would be great.

Played my favourite hand ever today.

Saw Felix Schneiders the Pokerstars pro do something similar when playing one short stacked opponent and one deep stacked.

Just called the short stacked shove on the turn to induce the shove from the deep stacked opponent on the river.

Had a crazy couple of sessions and nearly at a new bankroll peak
