Running Hot

Just made 1.5k on Party Poker which is nice after a tough month so far.
Here are the biggest hands for the evening.

Hero has Qs As (flush, ace high).

The guy leading the turn was a very loose and crazy player, even though his pt stats showed him to be passive he was bluffing alot which I picked up on. Here I decide to just call down and let him bluff, giving me an extra 100$ of value on the river. I also have the nut flush so a 4th spade doesn't hurt me too much.

After the showdown he claimed that he misclicked, I told him he should work on his aim. To me this just illustrates how valuable table selection can be. Getting it in for 225bb with a villain drawing dead is a good way to decrease your variance and bump your winrate.
