An interesting hand. I found that my opponent bets a lot when I gave up barreling, and he calls a lot when I barrel. So, on river, I think checking AA will minimize my lose if he has anything better, by betting, he might fold a 2 or 4 etc. and by checking I expect him to bet with 7 at least. Thus, checking doesn't lose too much value.

For the game I lost, I think I played badly. He was aggressive, when he checked flop, I thought he missed the board, but he might still call me with A high. Thus I checked back. On turn, I thought he shouldn't have much so decided to bluff. The river card is bad for me to bluff again, so I just checked.

Ok, bad play by me again. I thought he was bluffing a lot of the time, and my hand still has some equity a lot of the time.

The game I lost, quite strange opponent, checks minraise a lot. I checked behind a lot draws and pairs etc.

Well done. I've played Candonga before as well I think- not sure if I kept rematching him or not.

Won 4 lost 3, overall score 16:5

I won against TLwoodman 5 games in a row. He started playing quite aggressively, but in the last few games he stopped cbetting and got tilted I think. this was the last game, he cbet so little that I decided to donk out. Can't believe he didn't raise me
