Grinding

I played close to 500 hands today and it was actually pretty tame. I didn't win or lose more than half of a buy-in during any hand for the entire session. I wanted to focus on cutting down on some of the crazy variance plays I make like too many big bluffs and trying to get too active with connected cards. I thinks that's why the session went the way it did, but I am happy with this. I wasn't winning a lot of big pots but I was exploiting the weaker players and still making money with much less risk. Here's the graph:

I'm only going to post a few hands because there wasn't a ton of action hands.

Maximizing Value
I really think I maximized value on this hand. This is a flop that doesn't hit a ton of hands so I knew I couldn't really force it as he most likely has something like a medium pair or a medium Ace. The turn was a great card to check to make it seem like I was continuation betting and now giving up. This allowed me to get some value on the river (lol at AT).

Punked
This may sound like I'm trying save myself, but when this guy 4 bet me I immediately hit the max button, but then I stopped myself from being rash and started to think it through more. I folded because I didn't think it was worth it, but I do have to give this guy credit for making a good play. He was definitely the best $100 max player I have seen thus far and probably should be playing higher.

I'm going to be playing a decent amount today as I once again don't have any classes. This weekend is PSU's first football game so I definitely will be there. They are playing some scrub team but next week is Notre Dame so that should be insane. We are also going to maybe do a cookout next week and the thought of it is making me hungry...
