What a nice run! I did get quite lucky on one hand in particular, which I do have a question about whether I played it properly and how I should have done it differently if I did play it incorrectly. Here it is:
Hand 1:
No stats on the villain at the time. I did have a strong feeling I was beat after he flat called my 4-bet, but am I folding here if I check and he pushes, getting about 3.5:1? Doubtful. Any thoughts here?

Hand 2:
No way I am getting away from this hand here on the flop. I actually thought that the villain would have something along the lines of a combo straight/flush draw or maybe even a made straight, but with so many outs to the boat if I am indeed behind, I have to go all the way. Turns out, I was so much further ahead that I even though possible. Nice hand me. Again, this was early in the session and did not really have any reads yet.

Hand 3:
About 3 hands later, I get this gem. Normally, I do not like playing against 3-bets for set value, I think it is a mistake. Two things were different in this situation though. Even though it was relatively early in the session, he had already 3-bet my button raise twice, so I figured he might be making a play, so this was not a set mining proposition. Also, we were both really deep, so if I did hit a set and he did have a hand, it was jackpot time. Take a look at this beauty.

Hand 4:
This is one of those times, where I think this villain clearly would have paid me off, had the river not been so damned ugly. Oh, how I wish that river was a black rag! I could have had another $8 of value out of this villain easy.

A killer 400 hands, for sure!

Hand 1: Stats help, but I typically don’t 4-bet with QQ in spots like this (I don’t know how $25NL plays though and if people do this with TT+). Regardless, you’re spot on with the post flop — you’re committed.
Hand 2: Very nice; play this fast due to texture and your combo reads.
Hand 3: I like the call with 99 preflop here as you’re deep and have position. Also, I like the call on the flop as you’re so far ahead and this could be looked at as floating by him. Good looks on the turn, obv.
Hand 4: Played well.
Overall, you look to be playing extremely well. Keep up the great work; it’s no surprise to me that your results look great.
