Should I 3 bet JJ in SB vs loose players?

Played for 2 hours today and I got a lot of action at the tables (3-tabling).

Here's a breakdown of all the major hands, most all but one were heads up.

Losing Hands

-50 AK sted all in on flop w two to flush vs 10 10 short stack.

-35 While oop I 3-Bet pre w JJ to 12 vs Lag then psb folded A high flop

-50 Trying to call down a bluff, I thought he missed flush, with A3 tp in pos. he shoved w a5 (he rivered two pair)

-100 3-betting QQ preflop, psb call shove low flop vs unknown w KK

Winners

+80 Shoving KJ flopped trips on flop, vs guy w K10 flopped trips

+120 Flopped a set all in on flop 3 way vs donk w tp and A flush draw who was getting good odds, my set held up

+100 A4 flopped two pair vs donk w 64 two pair, all in on turn

+100 AA 3 bet, psb call shove, in position vs donk w 77 1 pr

Overall I think I did some things well. I'm going to rethink 3 betting w JJ utg because in all honesty I'm not prepared to take JJ to the felt at this moment in time. Two more things I can improve on is playing out of position and playing garbage hands in position (I shouldn't be doing this). I ran pretty good today.

Summary: 2 hours of play, starting $1220, ending $1350, +130

8 More Hours of Play-Up and Down-Finished Up

8 hours of play later..starting at $1150 I dropped all the way down to $980...went up to $1300, and finished at $1220.

I started raising 4bb+1 per limper preflop and it has increased the size of the pots I play. Playing bigger pots in position has led me to add a number of bluffs to my range...with mixed results. I'm experimenting with pot size bluffs on boards that are super dynamic. I've also been practicing plays such as check raising 3x with a variety of hands, and blowing pots up when people try to cbet me. I am generally working on being more AGGGRREEESSSIVE.

I've noticed so far that playing bigger pots means that small mistakes are more costly. In this last session I made several incorrect errors just because I failed to consider all of my options and I easily lost a buy-in doing this. I'm trying hard to focus more on each decision. When the action is coming to me, I need to take a few seconds to consider the value of checking/betting/folding.

Summary: 8 Hours of Play +$70

Yesterday I deposited $1000 into my Bodog account, a large amount for an unemployed student such as myself. I made a commitment to once again take a shot at poker to see "if my winning has been luck" or if I've really gotten better and I can squeeze a few more thousand out of this online poker thing. Since moving to 6 max tables a month ago during winter break I've had a more success than I ever had in the 7 months I spent playing full ring. hehehe

So day one with my new roll went ....ok. I started off losing 3 quick buy-ins. I got impatient when I was card dead and made the following horrendous plays:

1. Re-re raising all in on flop oop for 100bb with KK overpair vs super duper nitty guy who made a huge flop raise vs me with a flopped set.
2. Stacking off oop with A 10 top pair vs super nitty guy who flat called w AA preflop.

I also ran bad at first:
1. Losing all in on river with nut full house vs guy who rivered a straight flush (both of his cards played and he called without odds)
2. Getting two outered all in on flop with flopped set vs AA over pair sucking out on me.

After losing these 4 buy-ins and tilting between 4-7pm it wasn't until 4am, 9 hours later that I was able to rally back. I started the day w $1000, dropped to around $700 in a few hours and finished the day at $1150.

Here is how I stacked people:
1. Reraise to 12 pre w aa in position. Pot flop shove turn vs donk w q 10 top pair.
2. QQ all in on turn vs guy with AJ TPTK.
3. Guy bluffing into me all in while I held l card A high nut flush.
4. Calling a river shove with flopped flush on river that paired board vs guy bluffing "a full house"
5. Set mining a guy with AA, all in on the flop and not getting sucked out on.
6. All in on flop with set vs guy who check reraise shoved flop with A high flush draw and didn't suck out.
The battle continues...stay tuned. I need some tuition $.

I'm ba-ack!

After 3 months of not blogging I'm back and with some good news. For the month of December and January I am up $2000. In fact I've already withdrawn into savings/spent the $ so I have 0% chance of losing that $.

This is pretty much the 1st time that I've made any real $ playing poker after 8 months of play since I first started last May.

I've had some success lately due to...1. Being more aggresive and 2. Playing short handed 6 seat tables instead of full-ring.

Well my current bankroll is a measly $220 after all my withdrawing...I'm looking to build it back up to around $1000...let's do it again! ...A couple more times....let's pay for some tuition!!!
