August monthly report

I made a strong finish to August. My profit for the month was $401; my bankroll is $2873, a new high since I last cashed out over a year ago. Here are a few notable triple draw hands:

Hand 1
I should never have had the opportunity to bluff the river. Another option might have been to represent a whiffed check-raise attempt and pat my pair of queens.

I don't normally call turn bets to draw to tens but he's aggro and the pot was big.

Hand 4
In hindsight I'd have probably hung onto my rough eight. His line is so weird though. He was unknown to me until he joined both my tables 15 minutes prior to this hand. He'd already shown down a number of top-tenners in that time - this influenced my decision to break - but I'd forgotten about the time he made a shocking overcall on the river with T8764 against someone who was already pat.

Last night Capoch, who normally plays the nosebleed triple draw games, joined one of my 1/2 tables. He played every hand, betting and raising at every opportunity. He blew off $200 in 12 minutes. That's one small bet in a typical game for him. I nearly left, thinking I wouldn't be able to handle the variance, but then figured he was basically giving out free money and I shouldn't pass up the chance to grab some of it. I did profit by winning just two pots, rivering the nuts and getting dealt number three immediately afterwards, but I gave back that money - and more - after he left.
