Trying To Fit It All In

I don't think there's enough hours in a day. Really. I've been trying to play machines and poker, and it's tough cos then I don't have time to do anything else. Machines have been/are so good that it's tough to 'fold' them, poker has been pretty variable and I haven't done a lot else. Doing all this leaves little time for anything else, which kinda sucks.

I've been faced with a ton of tough decisions when I have played. I'll either make a good but not great hand and be faced with a lot of action, or hit a big hand and not get paid at all.

Here's some of the hands I've played:

Tough spot v 14/10 multitabling rock. Thing is, does he 3-bet shove a set here? I honestly don't know.

This was v a total maniac bluffer. When I flopped a set I thought gg his stack but I just don't know what to do on the turn. A check gives him the green light to bluff, but the turn also hits a huge part of his range.

Tough cooler for the other guy.

When someone has a betting pattern like this, they are usually very strong. Or have lost their mind. Luckily for me, this time it was the latter. He was a lunatic, obviously.

An emotional rollercoaster of a hand. He was a 70/10 btw. He should have c/r flop allin, then he gets dead money of AK etc...

How not to play top pair, medium kicker

This guy was an over aggro 21/19 - probably 2+2, I was actually pretty surprised to see him show AA here, as he'd need much less to 3 bet preflop cos he was doing it all the time.

Not really sure of the best line here...

I've lost a fair few 1/4-1/3 buyin pots v short stacks which has cost me a fair chunk of money as well, so I haven't done amazingly lately, but I'm feeling a lot more confident again now and feel as if I've improved after putting some work in so hopefully this will pay off for me.

Good luck at the tables everyone, I'm gonna post an article I've written about playing small pocket pairs tomorrow, I was gonna post it tonight but it's very long and I'm really tired. I'll definitely get it on here tomorrow afternoon.
