5/10 sh

[Jordan 1]

5 max, i'm playing slightly outta my bankroll. I had planned on only playing 5/10 SH with a 5k bankroll, but found a juicy game and decided to sit with a 3,500 br.[ I posted results in small print...plz dont read until after you post comments or w/e ] I sat with 35 bets.Hand 1PRE-FLOPUTG raises, I 3 bet, BB calls, UTG calls.I 3 bet here on the button against UTG who is very aggressive. I had 8 8 I wanted to isolate against the blinds. BB is a LAG.FLOP [ 6 ,5 ,9 ]bb checks, UTG checks, I bet, bb raises, UTG 3 bets, I callTURN [ 6 ,5 ,9 ,3 ]bb checks, UTG bets, I fold, bb callsRIVER [ 6 ,5 ,9 ,3 J ]bb checks, UTG checksThe 3 bet on the flop had me confused. I thought he might have a set of 6s, or maybe A9. I call with the gutshot. Turn I'm not sure if thats a bad fold or not...I know I'm behind and I'm not worried about the bb, but UTG I am. I reluctantly fold...SHOWDOWNiluvpoker1 shows [ AC,QD ]2up3down shows [ 9S,QH ]2up3down wins $110.50.Hand 2PRE-FLOPIm in CO with A Q LAG player is on the btn.UTG folds, I raise, btn 3 bets, blinds fold, I normally cap but I don't want to give off too big the strength of my hand.FLOP [ 3 ,6 ,9 ]I check, btn bets, I raise, btn callsTURN [ 3 ,6 ,9 ,Q ]I check, btn bets, I raise, btn callsRIVER [ 3 ,6 ,9 ,Q K ]I bet, btn calls.SHOWDOWNJord4nS shows [ QD,AD ]iluvpoker1 mucks cards [ QH,JS ]Jord4nS wins $115.50.Ok, This was probably the first time i've ever gone for back to back c/r and have it worked. I normally lead the flop, lead the turn, lead the river. But this guy was so laggish I thought I'd try and be cute and get two c/r in. Worked this time, and I wasn't gonna try again.I thought I was ahead preflop but decided against the cap. If I cap I'm not sure how the flop/turn will go...so meh..Hand 3PRE-FLOPall fold to me in sb with A 5 - I usually raise here but BB is a bad LAG player (same from first hand) and I do not want to put in a lot of money with him right now (yea i know i have an edge), but I will let him bet for me.UTG folds, CO folds, btn folds, I complete, bb raises, i call.

I played this hand passively on purpose...but is that just stupid to do?I'm not gonna play 5/10 SH much. I really just did cause of this guy..but I held my own against some of the other real aggressive players and I'm really looking forward to finally moving up.Just thought I'd post 3 hands...see if i got any useful comments. thx.- Jordan
