Sorry Mike

I'd like to apologise to Mike Caro.
I could justly be accused of manufacturing a winning streak now. I played a 196 hand session and I'm up $0.10. I didn't do it on purpose though.
It was pretty miserable. I was down on each table for a while. They kept trying to bluff/calling down with aces and then rivering overpairs and fourflushes and the sort. (I said I was looking forward to moaning about bad beats.) There was one particular hand worth mentioning. I accidentally called the small-blind's raise from the big blind with J8o due to a misclick, and this led to the limper calling too. Then I flopped an open-ender on a board of
3c Td 9c
SB c-bet, I called and then the limper raised. SB and I called. Turn was
Ad
SB bet out again, I should have folded here. I don't believe I had the odds. But I called. And once again the flop raiser raised and we both called. Then I rivered the straight with
Qd
I sneakily flat-raised, to cap it. And then I found out SB had 9c7c. To be fair, I made my hand on the river and he had a pair before that.
However, I did make a few tricky plays and was able to stay alive on the other two tables, such as check-calling top pair on the flop, then check-raising the turn after making top two.
I also made a few hero calls, which were really just steam-calls that turned out to be good because they were bluffing.
I ended the session fairly soon after being dealt aces. I turned the set and it was at least 3 bets on each street, 3-way. That hand was the reason I finished the session in profit. So once again, sorry Mike Caro.
