E is for Effort

So my weekend was pretty much what I hoped it would be. I even had a hand in celebrating my best friend's 21st birthday. I'm just going through life day by day right now, trying to play enough hours to stay ahead of the bills while enjoying the days as they go by. I even worked out yesterday, and will probably continue to do that off and on in hopes of losing a little weight/becoming healthier.

On the poker front, I'm still playing 25NL, because in the short stint I played in 50NL I wasn't making as much per hour in that game. I'm sure I'll continue to dabble in 50NL once every week or two, because eventually I'm sure it will be profitable to move up, TT and because I'm already adequately bankrolled for it.

TT overpair hand
I think I got confused on this hand because the first preflop raise was a minraised. Normally in a 3bet pot you're free to stack off with an overpair if you think you started with the best hand because your 3bet has made it unprofitable for your opponents to setmine against you. If they flop a set every once in awhile it's fine, because enough of the money is going in preflop that it isn't profitable for them to continue to setmine in that situation (assuming <~110 BB stacks). However, in this situation not enough of the money went in preflop for me to stack off with a weak overpair, even though I didn't think he could have JJ+. PokerStove tells me that I can't stack off if he can only have QhJh+ or a set, but that I can stack off if he'll stack off with 88 or 99. I think my play is fine but I might bounce it around some forums.
