Strong Finish

I'm looking to finish July in a strong way and tonight's session helped quite a bit. Over 2,500 hands of 6-tabling 50NL I finished +$342 for a 13ptbb/100 winrate, which is very solid. I ran pretty well, and only took a couple coolers, so that was nice. All in all it was a very fun session. :)

Here are some of the more interesting hands:

ROCKY78 - Calls $4
STUART2640 - Folds

Turn:

Villain shoved $100 in PF with QQ and that's just totally terrible on every level. Shoving 200 BBs with QQ will fold out any hand that QQ has beaten and the only hands that will call are KK and AA, which have QQ crushed.

Amusing chat that shows villain has absolutely no clue:

SIMPLESTYLE wins ($196.46) with (One pair, aces).
