This hand was a nightmare. The guy was very aggressive, loving to raise me on boards where it didn't look like I had much. I wasn't sure he was completely awful, though... I flopped top-and-bottom two pair early on against his preflop raise, but he managed to get away from what I assume was top pair (or maybe middle pair) after I C/Red his CB and then pushed the turn (draw-heavy board, no choice).

At first the turn looked great for me, until he 3-bet me. It was a small enough raise that I felt compelled to call, figuring a 2 or 4 would know it was beat at that point and not shove the river. Meanwhile, I had 6 outs to beat most hands he could have that beat me.

I dunno. I guess I should have just raised the flop and got all the money in if that's what he wanted, hope to draw out on a 6 if he actually had it. I know that's the main thing everyone's going to say, and I agree. Flatting was both wimpy and risky.

Given my flat call on the flop, I don't think I have much choice but to raise the turn when the 6 comes out... third best card in the deck for me, after a 3 or a 5. Can I fold to his 3-bet though? Having made it, do I have to call the river, since most of my stack is in (call my last 620 to win 1480), or can I be more than 71% sure I'm beat? I felt 90% sure, since both his initial bet and the raise on the turn seemed aimed at pricing me in to call, so I folded, and I did come back and win the game... but I think I did just about everything wrong this hand, except getting away from it on the river.

It would be sweet if you could convert these at least a little Xapods. They are very difficult to read. I typically replace the cards with their corresponding icons and highlight all of my play. There are a number of good converters out there as well.

Well done. We all appreciate that.

Now if I knew anything about tournament play I may have been able to help you out.
