Day 4 - le tilt

I dunno why you think its a good strat to start 3betting him a ton with hands that you have to give up later. Like that A8s oop I would say is a pretty big mistake to 3b instead of just calling.

Difference between winning and losing that is $3400.

No idea why you're bloating the pot oop with A8. Doesn't seem like anything other than tilt/personal vengeance against this fish.

Thats all it was. I mean part of me wants to say that I know he's raising light so I should exploit that by coming over the top. I guess I could just call a lot, but seems like any time I turn up the heat it's going to be obvious I hit. If I keep 3betting him then my 3bets are as worthless as his preflop raises, which means we are just playing bigger pots on the flop which stand a greater chance of an allin when one of us does hit. I assumed I would hit better than him on a regular basis. But I was definitely doing it out of pride/anger than direct exploitation. That and I was on my 5th drink, something I havent done at poker in a long time. Think I'll lay off the alcohol for a few days and see if that helps.

you can raise him light IP (although u shouldn't forget about the other players at the table), OOP you should prob raise HUGE with good value hands to punish his light calls, and be calling a lot with good middling hands like A8s

also what stakes is this? can't tell if he minraised pre or not

2/5 NLHE, no minraises.
