Was way too tired last night when I was done for the day, but it was a decent day. I got in 4.4k VPP putting me at 20,500 for the month.  84,500 to go to hit my monthly goal.

Here is the result to yesterday's hand:

So, although I ended up winning, I think my line is probably not great, and right after I clicked call I was questioning it. I saw that this player happens to have a pretty high river aggression frequency, and it's always annoying having to fold a hand that was so strong and happened to get a bad run out. I could also say I 'had a feeling', :D.

When you think about my flop check raising range it consists of the following: 6X combos, XXhh combos, 57, 35, 4XCC. A3cc, 910cc. Of that range there is about 20 combos of potential bluffs on the river, but over 100+ combos of value on this run out, all of which beat a hand as strong as AA, and most of them even beating A6. Against anyone decent they will realize how insanely value heavy my range on this run out is, and have a very easy time folding on the river.  Therefore, I can't expect to be getting called by worse when I have the low end of my value range for this river card, making it an obvious check.  I also wouldn't except to be double floated here often enough, or expect a reg to be betting AA for value and be called by worse.  Now, there is a chance someone has decided to turn one pair hands into bluffs here, and perhaps vs someone who is insanely laggy you could argue check call.  Overall, I think check folding river is best.

I haven't played too much today, because I've been doing random errands.  I did manage to get a couple hundred hands in while getting my hair done.  Ipads are great! I'm off to play some tennis now, I'm in serious need of a good workout because it's been a long week and I haven't done much active in a few days. Hopefully I can get at least 2000 vpps in tonight.
