call_me_CHEF: guess i cant bluff a donkey

Things that went through my head:
Is the guy capable of bluffing when I almost never check? Yes
Do you think he's bluffing? Maybe
Would he play an ace like this? No
Would he play a set or 2 pair like this? No
Would he play a jack like this? Yes
What kind of starting hand could he have? Almost anything better than 56o
Would have have called with a jack till then river? Hardly unless he had a pair.
Outcome: Call and win

Status of my being

I haven't played lately but I'm going to start getting back into it. I need to start reading again so that I get more motivation and clean up all the rust. I played today and did well at the 200s and then came back and played later and had pretty bad luck. After, I played 1 table of 400 nl and the second hand I go all in with ace high vs his 10 high after the flop and he hits a 10. And now I'm down for the day. Ugg limits are such bastards. I feel like I didn't accomplish anything but get some bad luck out of the way. Well keep grinding and I'm sure good things will come :)
