200nl? 43?

Not to sure tbh as I have been mainly just fitting in sessions whenever I can because I have no daycare this week. Luckily I have a nice fam who is willing to help. Anyways just took my 1st shot at 200NL and felt very comfortable. All was going well till this gem.

Mini 3bet?
~I have taken to folding a bit more with marginal hands in these spots given the rev implied odss but this is a no brainer imo. I obviously flop the nuts and when he chx I moan and bet thinking he has TT-KK. When he check ships the turn I fist pump call knowing he will show AK a ton but in the back of my mind thinking AA really? Instead I am spot on but he binks it. I honestly didnt blink too much but opted to call it a session and keep my head high.

1st hand of my 200NL shot
~It appears this shot may go well. I wasnt super stoked on the preflop call but feel I have to make it. Turn is pretty standard given the fact that this guy was a drooler and the board can get crappy. SHIP IT!

Nothing else very exciting occured. Basically i plan to play 200NL when the games look juicy and keep plugging away at 100NL as well. I just want to keep playing good solid ass poker and improving. As long as I avoid spew I should do well. Oh a big big key for me has simply been table/seat selection. I only sit if there is a mark and I will stand and wait if the player on my direct left is good enough to alter my play.
