Been doing great, I really changed up my game, a lot more aggr and a lot more raising suited connectors and pairs preflop, gets a lot more action. Having a great run this month, and I've also called more liberally on the river, stops people from running over you and you get surprised to see just how often people bluff when you check.This hand i took a sec to call, no reads, silly me and 8 tabling six max. Preflop rules out AA, KK, and AK.So i thought it was either A 5, 33, or a bluff that beat me, hence my call.

I kind of like checking the river here, because the pot is already pretty big as it is...Also, I see that when you check a river after firing two times, people LOve to throw a big bet in there w/ a garbage hand...Heres an example, although a bit different throughout the rest of the hand, but the river check PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)Button ($119.90)Hero ($85.35)BB ($18.25)UTG ($31.75)MP ($14.25)Preflop: Hero is SB with A, A. 1 fold, MP calls $0.50, Button calls $0.50, Hero raises to $2.5, 1 fold, MP calls $2, Button calls $2.Flop: ($8) Q, T, 4(3 players)Hero bets $5, MP folds, Button calls $5.Turn: ($18) 9(2 players)Hero bets $10, Button calls $10.River: ($38) T(2 players)Hero checks, Button bets $10, Hero calls $10.Final Pot: $58
