Back to 5/10

[imitation]

So I grinded big time the last 2 weeks and got my roll back from 1500 to 2700 doing the bonus haunts and generally playing boat loads of hands. So i'm giving 5/10 another shot. Nothing terribly interesting I definitely feel much more confident of my skill level than last time I played there, I think i've put in 15k more hands since then and spent time reading a few of my new books. Last time I played to agressively and refused to give people credit for made hands and called down too much I think.

My first session ended 15BB my second up 8BB (short sessions) but the game play felt pretty average. The second session was during quiet time at party with only 10k players on and felt like I was seeing much more agressive tricky players than my earlier session so I may just try and stick to playing the peak periods for the time being.

Anyway I thought i'd post 1 hand it was one I thought was pretty standard but I just want to be sure it is even against most LAGs, this player was loose/mildly agro pre but didn't seem too much so postflop. Another thought I had on this hand was to check through the turn, I figure I'm either ahead of nothing and most likely the other player will fold, i'm ahead of a smaller PP and i'll get called down, or i'm being set up for a CR. If i'm ahead there aren't many cards on the river I'm scared of seeing, so perhaps checking through the turn to induce a river bet from the villian is a better line against an aggressive player...?
