I only played a fraction of the hands I played in April. Maybe that's a good thing. Either way I'm happy with the month and my play. In the past I've had trouble battling out of nasty downswings, so I'm happy to put this one properly behind me.
I didn't play as many hands at 50NL but the few I did play were rewarded quite nicely. The reason I didn't play as much 50NL was because of the BBJ rake, which really kills the winrate. I've been firing up the non-BBJ 50NL tables alongside the 25NL tables (which are all non-BBJ) and that has been working well so I'll continue doing that.
I barely played any MTTs last month with no results worth mentioning. I dropped just over a hundo in MTT buy-ins which isn't a big deal at all. My rakeback for May came in around $170 and I should be getting that soon, so MTTs and rakeback ended up cancelling eachother out for May.

Flop:
[
]RENOTIME - Checks
Hero - Bets $6
RENOTIME - Raises $15 to $15 -- small checkraise is weird
Hero - Calls $9 -- I decide to just call on this very co-ordinated flop. I'm likely ahead but I don't want to stack off with just an overpair on this flop. I've got roughly a pot-size bet behind me so if a safe turn comes off I'll happily shove.
Turn:
[
] [ 
]RENOTIME - All-In $83.52 -- quick jam... AQ, KQ, flush and straight draws are all part of his range
Hero - All-In $30.65 -- his range is still very wide here (he's 30/23) so I pretty much have to call
RENOTIME - returned ($52.87) : not called
River:

]Showdown:
RENOTIME - Shows [
] (Three of a kind, eights)Hero - Shows [
] (Full house, kings full of eights)Hero Collects $96.65 from main pot
Lucky river but I think the call is still good in this spot against this villain.

Turn:
[

]TAYLOR_CKY - Checks
Hero - Bets $5 -- weak-looking $5 bet into ~$11.25... set up for big river bet
TAYLOR_CKY - Calls $5
River:

]TAYLOR_CKY - Checks
Hero - Bets $14 -- healthy $14 bet into ~$21.25
TAYLOR_CKY - Calls $14
Showdown:
Hero - Shows [
] (Flush, king high)TAYLOR_CKY - Mucks
Hero Collects $47.50 from main pot
The weak turn bet followed by the strong river bet looks very bluffy and usually gets paid off pretty well.
