Running well again

Had a nice session last night to kick off the month and put October behind me.

I could not believe the level of donkiness I ran into last night. This is somewhat of a brag post, because there aren't really any interesting hands. The only thought I have as far as these hands are that I seriously question the value of getting AKo all in pre-flop to a 3- or 4- bet. Personally, I am not one to put AK all in pre-flop; I'm not a fan of, at best (generally), a coin flip for 100BBs.

I need to save the AA / KK hands for all the times I get crushed holding AA:

Hand #1
