Long Session! Lots of interesting hands

Wow! I sure played for a quite a while today about 3-4 hours straight. At some point I was 8 tabling 50NL, and this happened:

This was my second hand of the night: http://www.pokerhand.org/?1335512

But I didnt get discouraged, I knew that I put my money in as a big favorite, and just got unlucky.

This guy was LOOSE! he was playing 60/40 and I think I should have made my preflop Raise to 7-7.5, since he was calling so many hands. Again, when the money went in I was about a 4-1 fav, but http://www.pokerhand.org/?1335516

And this : http://www.pokerhand.org/?1335540 Pretty standard cooler.The sb was pretty active, so I had to put ina 3rd raise to see where I was at.

So I was down close to 3 buy ins and Ive decided that if Im down 3 buyins at any given point, i shuold probably quit, but since I didnt quite get there I decided to just play through it and instead of 8 tabling, I went back to my usual 4 tables, this is where the comeback starts :)

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1335523 He played that hand pretty passively, and instead of putting all the money in on the flop, he decided to shove on the turn, weird, he should have known I was commited, after all, I RR pre and then RR again after the utg player lead out for almost pot. Screams strenght.

Next, http://www.pokerhand.org/?1335526 Typical fish/calling station who wont fold top/second pair ever!

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1335529 Not sure why he shoved on the river, when the only hand that will call him is a hand just like mine. Yummy!

This guy was a CALLING STATION, but he would only call somewhat small bets, but I guess he was drawing http://www.pokerhand.org/?1335532

This opponent had been Raisin me all night and using position against me, he was smart/tricky, so If I just called on the flop, I think it would scream strenght, so there was no reason to slow play and he had a big hand as well. http://www.pokerhand.org/?1335535

Again, people wont fold their second pair http://www.pokerhand.org/?1335537

Stars has Heads up tables finally so, here is me going in with the best, then getting sucked out on and RE-sucking out :)
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1335545. Overall I finsihed the HU match up only about 10 bucks, cause there were a couple hands that I definately misplayed.

Thats about it, I played 1400 hands and winning close to 1 buy in, so Im just really glad that although I almost started tiltin, I was able to keep a cool head and make a nice comeback!!!

I RUN GOOD!!

I actually decided to review my pokertracker and find some weak spots on my game and I realized that I have been losing most of my money from the sb and big blind. So after loking over a few hands, I played for about 30 mins and won over 3 buy ins!! So Im pumped, can august be my best month ever? At this rate, I sure hope so!

Here is a hand that helped out:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1325532 yummy, Im just glad I held up :)
I ran insanely hot on this session, so I hope to keep it up!
