Not all players got a solid strategy against an aggressive 3-bettor.
At NL100 most players react by stop folding to 3-bets and
start calling with a weak range, even out of position.

The second week of LAG poker is over and the results are okay. Three days of the week were spent in bed trying to get over a cold. This of course put some restrains of the number of hands I managed to play. At this moment I've played a total of 4415 hands with a total profit of 413 big blinds. That is +18 big blinds this week, which in itself sound bad, but I still have an overall winrate of 4.7 ptbb/100 which is allright.

I tried to continue the aggressive style from last week and this weeks stats are 28/25/5.2 with a 3B of 12.5%. This might be just a little bit too aggressive and I plan to tighten up a little bit more next week.

Looking at the graph I'm really happy that I keep winning at non-showdown but it's quite evident that I lose the profit in showdown situations. Looking through the biggest pots I played I estimate a couple of buyins were spewed off in bits of 30%-50% buyin. It is really difficult to handle the new play style and sometimes I just get it totally wrong where I stand in a hand.

Looking at setups makes me happy. Of the 12 biggest pots I had 0 setups in my favor and didn't win a single flip. The only hand where I got lucky (according to my opponent's comment in the chat) sucking out after being behind was this:

I think this hand is funny because judging by his comment he really thought that he finally got me ('evil laughter') and then I suck out big time. These things never happened to me before. People more or less had hands when they played against me. Now they try to outplay me with crazy trash hands because they are pissed at being 3B all day long.

To my surprise it seems like most players at NL100 chooses to play back at me by calling more 3B with trash hands both in and out of position which just end up costing them even more money. Others more or less shut down and wait for a huge hand and try to trap me. Unfortunately this has been working too effectively and I intend to change this the coming week.

I have a really good feeling about next week and I'll try to put in a few more hands.
