I forgot to export and e-mail myself this weekend's results. Thanks to the help of a buddy of mine, we had a winning session on Saturday afternoon, but I had some extremely rough sessions on Sunday and last night. I'll update the totals a little later tonight. I won a whole bunch of little pots, but the deck was against me any time I had anything big. The frustration led to tilt, and we all know where that goes. Here's a couple of hands from last night which I think I didn't take enough into account.
I should have raised more pre-flop but I still couldn't see someone calling a raise with an 8 in early position unless they had a pair of 8s. The board was draw heavy, but I was the aggressor again a guy who was short and got caught betting straight into his set. I felt I may have been up against a large draw rather than the set.
Here's a hand that kind of set me off, but the guy had me all the way. I just played the TPTK way too aggressively at the flop, but it's still going to go all-in on the turn when the ace falls.
And of course, what would this be without at lease one bad beat replay. My other table was doing well, but I had just gotten stacked with the AK a few hands before on my second table. Serves me right for slow playing the aces, but I really don't think that I would have pushed the guy off his 10's with a 3-bet preflop. After this happened, I decided to call it a night.

Hand 1: You mentioned it, but I would definitely raise more than that pre-flop. Why not pot it? Unless you specifically want to gamble to try to extract more money later as opposed to taking down the pot pre-flop. I hate seeing flops with JJ and always try to take it down pre-flop.
Hand 2: The re-raise post flop tells me he's either very strong or bluffing. Without stats, my guess would be that he's really strong (2 pair or set). Easy to say after seeing his cards though. My thinking: He raised pre-flop and smooth called your re-raise. After the flop he bets out and re-raises your check raise. At this point I'd be pretty concerned. If he had AK, he's calling your check-raise and not re-raising you.
Hand 3: That just sucks.
