So the last three weeks or so I've made almost 100 buy ins at the Pokerstars 2/4NL short handed games and either tomorrow or the day after I will have more than enough money to play 510. I immagine the fish will still be trash but the regulars will be slightly better so I look forward to the game and hopefully my first session there is a good one.

I normally trust my reads 100%, I put people on a hand (more often than a range) and I play accordinly. Here's one hand today I thought I should have folded I felt there's no hand he can have that I beat which he bets.

I think if he has any pair under J he is more than happy to show it down cheaply, in which case had he checked the river I would have punished him. I felt he had either JJ-TT or AK here given my currecnt history. I know he wouldnt bet TT or AK so I figured the only logical hand for him to have here is JJ ;/ Also he can't have AA-KK here because he would not check the turn with this he would protect his hand, esp on this draw heavy board.

As for the flop play sometimes I jam sometimes I call. Since I had position I like peeling cards off and seeing where thigns go from there - Also by not repoping I disguise the strength of my hand. The last few weeks I have been trusting my reads on an absolute level, a slip-up like this may appear small but if I stop trusting myself and just play the strength of my hands my winrate will decrease substancially.

I also bought a new closet - but apparently you have to assemble it yourself... so it has been sitting in the box for ~5-6 days
