What A Rollercoaster

This was last night's session, which was interesting to say the least. I feel like I should've won like $2k, but such is life. I had about $400 in big bluffs picked off which is never fun, but after evaluating the hands I feel like most of the bluffs would work enough of the time to show a profit. The donks were out in full force, and I can't tell you how many times I saw them limp/call preflop, then either donk bet and call a raise on the flop, or just check/call, and then lead for full pot on the turn. I was confused so many times last night trying to figure out wtf they could have, which is almost impossible with a lot of those idiots.

I did have a lot of LOL moments that went in my favor as well. The same reg 4bet folded to me three times (and he only 4bet me three times total last night lol), so I looked at his notes and we used to tangle a ton back at .5/1 so it all made sense. It's so awesome seeing regs making such colossal mistakes over and over. I then had this hand go down against an unknown, which was the first time I've ever had this happen to me to this degree:
