Live cash return.
The MTT grind has been getting to me a bit recently, so I took the last couple of days off (well I played a handful of comps that were just too good to miss - which was actually a mistake probably - I don't focus well enough when I'm just 3tabling / waiting till I bust so I can go DTD -terrible mentality and made me spew last night I think).
But basically I've missed live cash recently so felt like going into DTD from some juicy 1/2 games. I've broken even over the two days but had my soul crushed by PJ last night in a pretty crazy levelling war hand where he ended up being on the level above. To the outsider it'll seem ridic spewy from both parties probably but I'll give the HH anyway for the crack. Don't try and analyse it, we've been chatting loads about barrelling brick turns/river, and also loads about 3barrelling, bluffing big in general, peeling 4bets light etc, and it was just hilarious how this ran out and everything we've been discussing came together in this one hand

He raises the cutoff over a limper to £10, I 3bet the button with
to £30, he 4bets to £85, I call.
he bets £70 I call.
he bets £140 I call.
he goes allin for £500 I fold. He shows
. SIGH!
Expected him to be light pre loads, and dbl barrel loads but thought he'd give up the river a lot for a few reasons, and especially the T river cos I can have a Ten too. So floated twice to shove the river, but he found his balls and I couldn't really call with Khigh can't beat some bluffs (mightve done with KQ though!).
What I should've done is move allin on the river out of turn, what would he do then?!
PJs got really good really fast it's annoying! Happy to have mentored him to being the player is now though
Need to get back to what I do best which is hands like this:
PJ opens the cutoff to £12, I 3bet the button with
to £32 (never 3bet this light usually but felt like pounding on PJ a bit since he was £1k deep and doesn't like playing that deep). Ajit cold calls! PJ calls.
wiiiiiiiii. Check check I bet £45, Ajit calls, PJ folds
wiiiiiiiiii part two. Check I bet £105, Ajit raises to £280 wiiiiiiiiiiiii part three. I call.
River
he instantly moves allin for £600 (part four) I call and beat what I thought must be a flush. No, I beat
SKILL GAME.
