Challenge, Day 6

Another good day, here are my results:

Played hours: 3.5 (max allowed)
Stacks: +5.20 (€4676.58)
Total stacks for the challenge: +20.84 (€18755.13)

Once again I ran pretty well, I'm also glad that Heiko ran well today, too. Though it's going to take some serious work on his part on some serious downswinging on my part for him to win the challenge, it would be nice for it to get somewhat close again. I saved some hands from today, here they are:

I'm not really sure what my opponent was up to in this hand. It's possible that I sucked out on him, unless he had something like AJ. He certainly didn't have the hearts, perhaps a set? I don't know, nor do I care :)

I really don't like the way my opponent played his hand. A 4bet is unnecessary imo, especially considering he was not even involved in the hand to begin with. My image was somewhat laggy but nothing to justify this.

Here's some proof that I don't always run hot! I called his 3bet in position preflop because the effective stacks were 230BBs and he is a pretty big donk. I have no idea what he thought he was beating on the turn. Matter of fact, I don't think he did much thinking at all.

Same opponent, a short while later. I'm pretty sure I didn't even need the fourth 8, but it was comforting anyways.

Once again the same guy and basically the same situation as with my QJ button raise. This time I have J8s and we're deep. His play is a little more understandable than in the previous hand, he typed in "AA" in the chatbox shortly before calling the river.

Standard and boring, overpair vs overpair against an extremely aggressive opponent. Not much I can do, considering how active this guy is.

I was really disappointed with myself in this hand. I picked a tell and was too stupid to follow my gut instinct, which was to call his squeeze and check/fold a missed flop. I obviously tried to take it down preflop and unfortunately committed myself, was certainly not surprised to see the showdown.
