First off, thanks to all who have posted comments and are reading this blog, I hope it'll be worth your time and that I can post some thoughtful comments here and there. Also I think viewing things through the mind of somebody working his way up and going through good times and struggles and evaluating their decisions can make you a better player as well, so hopefully we all become better players through this experience. The forums are IMO the best part of Cardrunners, and this "poker community" is something I'm a big fan of.
Anyways, I put in about 2 hours this afternoon. I played 10NL on Full Tilt and a $5 45 man SNG (I only have money on their from Rakeback so I can't afford to play any higher). I won a few bucks in the cash game and took 4th in the SNG with my AQ < A2 to take me out. The only big hand I won in cash was a cooler:

On Bodog I never really got anything going and I don't think I played that well to be honest. I ended up down about a buyin, with one big cooler in there against me, and then this pot as well which I don't like my play in but what can you do:

The thing is that 99% of the time after the check/raise at this level they are NOT folding. If he has just a K like KQ here I have 12 outs twice, so about 48%. If he's check raising with two pair or a set then I'm much worse off. It's a really close call for a push and I hate laying it down but I wonder if that's the best option here? I'll have to post this one on CR.
Then I got coolered:

But I got him back which is really funny because of how similar the hand is...notice his early min raise so I already put him on AA/KK here.

Here I pick off a bluff:

Not much else of note. I hope to play some later.
