Two sick hands and an update.

April was awesome for me poker wise and May has been slow. I had to wrap up college and decided to not play while I did so. I have managed to log a few nice winning sessions but only played maybe 15 hours this month. That being said summer is here so no more classes. It is looking like this will be a perminent summer too. AEJONES experience has been great for my game as well and I look forward to grinding again so i can really start to put alot of his theory into use. Hopefully i will begin to update here a little more and look for some theory posts in the near future. Here are two river bluffs shoves i ran. The 1st was vs the infamous BertKC whom is also a part of the AE thing thus he read my soul based on what we have learned from AE. Sick fucking props on the call. 2nd hand was vs an aggro TAG who i knew could be c/r light. Thing is if i do get it in on the flop I am 100% behind even to a high card imo. Icheck the turn because if I get double c/r I believe I will be commited. By the river is hand looks like air or a very marginal made hand which cant stand much heat. He hollywooded for a sec to save face and then pitched.

F*ck, I've got a lot to learn :). Congrats on school, too.

The first hand was really interesting...although I've heard of BertKC, I don't know much about him...but I'm assuming that he doesn't make this call against a lot of people, and if so, what a great hand by both of you, IMO.

I'm not as sure about the second hand....it looks to me like you pushed off a better flush draw, but I would expect him to look you up with a pretty big part of his range. I guess what I don't understand as much here is that if you planned to commit to the hand on the river, wouldn't you want to make that commitment earlier, where you have both more FE and also more pot equity?
