Good Day, Ready to Move Up

Roll=$17k. My starting roll was $14.4k, so I made $2600 in 755 hands @ 25BB/100 playign 29/25/5. I think I played quite well but ran well in NLHE and made some very good reads. I dumped ~$1k in PLO unfortunately, mainly from dumb big bluffs but from 1 or 2 colddecks/bad beats. W/e, making $2600 in a day at 2/4 nl is still pretty sick to me (6.5 BI), ESPECIALLY in 755 hands. Some interesting hands definitely to post.

Today it will first be the losers: Here I couldn't just call the riv because I could TELL I was getting vbetted, and I knew he wuz a pretty good player, so I felt that if I shoved he needed AQ+ to call me, which based on the riv value bet, I just couldn't put him on. He TANNNKEd and calld me w/ AJ. I'm not shoving worse on the riv 99% of the time, but unfortunately, I don't like calling there in that exact moment and I knew he knew I wuzn't shoving weaker almost 100% of the time. http://www.pokerhand.org/?1445075

Lost a flip- I raised to 5x preflop because of the limper UTG. I know TalentedTom knows that I would do this raise a lot with somewhat marginal hands as well as strong ones just to isolate and go HU vs the limper. So he reraised me, and I figured I don't think he has to have AA-QQ or AK to do this. Therefore I wouldn't be in bad shape vs a decent bit of his range, so I reraised to $190 to commit myself to calling a shove. I called and bricked out vs his JJ :( http://www.pokerhand.org/?1445083

Lost flip vs Elky AI pf when I was shorstacking 10/20. I came back later http://www.pokerhand.org/?1445089

Winners:

Made a good flop check behind here because I know this NAILLLS Elky's range. He bet big on the turn, and because I knew that he put me on Ax after the flop check, I figured he'd definitely be willing to felt his hand, w/e he had. Standard river play sfrom both of his- him with the two pair and me when I nailed the backdoor flush. Shippp it! http://www.pokerhand.org/?1445097

Won a huge flip HU- very standard for us both. http://www.pokerhand.org/?1445107

Not even kidding I woulda open-folded his hand because if he raises and I shove he'll be in a nasty spot, if he limps I guess it's not terrible, and if he open folds he's not risking $400 to win $20... I'm not calling him with worse than A7... MAYBE I'd call him with KQs but that's it the rest of the time I have him crushed or ONCE in a while flipping at best. http://www.pokerhand.org/?1445116

Glad I didn't go for turn C/RAI vs TalentedTom cuz he might have checked behind this turn. He's a very cautious but good solid player. I definitely don't like having him at my table, but I think I have a bit of an edge on him HU to be honest. Neway, I made my hand on the flop, played it RELE fast, and got paid. http://www.pokerhand.org/?1445119

*About to move up to $3/6 nl, tho if I run bad or the swings r too sick I'll drop down and continue to grind 2/4 nl or maybe even cash out half my roll and grind the 1/2 nl and plo games, we'll c what happens tomorrow.
