Still going strong

Poker is till going very well. I was just checking some of my PT stats in 2007 (80K hands) and it really looked nice. I won money with every single PP for example. So it seems that the small changes in my strategy have worked ok.
And with the hands that I put money in there are only 6 (KJo, ATo, 87s, T8s, A5s and J9s) with which I lost more then 1 buy-in ($200). And there is just one of these with which I lost slightly more then $400 (J9s).

This morning I played a session at Pokerstars again ( didn't play there for almost a week). The first 30 minutes I really had to adjust to the hyperagressive pre-flop game there on NL200 (compared to Everest). Overall it's a lot more difficult to play there, but there are still plenty of fish there as well.

Some hands from the session:

This guy (27/21/1) was 3-betting almost all the time from the blinds against a steal or from the button, but never showed a hand down. AQ is not really the hand you want to play in re-raised pot, but this time I decided that is was time to take a stand and as he was not that agressive postflop so I called.

369Dan: folds
ayoria: folds
AKA_PSV: calls $18

*** FLOP *** [2d 5c Qc] -> Flops looks perfect, but the problem is that there's not one hand that is paying you off if you bet here, so I decide to check.

AKA_PSV: checks
xxGooilersxx: checks
*** TURN *** [2d 5c Qc] [6s]

AKA_PSV: checks > As he didn't bet the flop I don't think I'm have to be afraid of the flushdraw so I check again to get maximum value out of worse hand (mostly bluffs, but also hands like JJ/TT).
xxGooilersxx: bets $42
AKA_PSV: calls $42

*** RIVER *** [2d 5c Qc 6s] [8c]

AKA_PSV: checks -> The third flushcard falls, so again betting is stupid as he will not call with a worse hand.
xxGooilersxx: bets $129 and is all-in
AKA_PSV: calls $129

This call took me a while, but his push just didn't look like it wanted a call. I also thought that he would have bet the flop with a flushdraw, so then it must be a bluff, because spots like this are most of the time the nuts or a total bluff.

*** SHOW DOWN ***

xxGooilersxx: shows [2s Ks] (a pair of Deuces)
AKA_PSV: shows [Qh Ad] (a pair of Queens)
AKA_PSV collected $394 from pot
