I feel strange.

Hadnt played in several days it felt like and poker felt weird. I tryed to play pretty LAG and it seemed like I was getting played at a bit. Maybe the FTP regs are starting to recognize me now. I played well but lost 2 stacks in real strange spots.

This was my 1st session of thwe challenge as well. Dropped 3 BIs but who cares. I am a winner and as long as I can get 40K hands in this month the results will be there. 851 hands to date.

Hand 1-The BTN is a 21/16/3 What is he repping? Only two hands I can be behind here are AK and 44. How does AK not 3bet preflop and if he has quads GG. I keep thinking over this hand and my real question is my preflop call, should I fold?

Hand 2- Looking back I am unsure of what to think of my play. Villain is 44/10/2. He never has a 8 here imo and I could get a hero call from worse. Is this plus EV? I am unsure. It was sick because I knew he could call with a better K but I opted to shove.
