I think you played that hand pretty much perfectly 
Check on the turn is definately correct and then on the river he has given you no reason to believe you're beat with the check behind, i'd put him on a Q every time. Why he's not raising the river I don't know.

Very well played mate, excellent progress.
I agree with Wriggers, you played the hand perfectly. Snap call instead of a raise = 
Thanks guys Yeah I know the snap call confuses me too. shouldn't complain though. Playing theese guys is like printing money ♦
Fucking horrible day today getting sucked out constantly by the same guy. My straight vs his set, the board obv pairs on the last card and i loose 1,5 BI. Then vs the same guy again i loose my set vs a higher set! TILTALERT!
I havent played any poker lately because of school taking too much time. Anyways, I thought I'd give SH another shot this time I'll play more cautiously.
This is my graph at NL4 so far...
At about 3k hands i started playing SH. I don't know if im playing bad or if the swings usually is this big? Anyone? 
Well I can't complain I'm winning and my BR is at it's peak
Thanks fusion.
I thought I'd post two hands I played today which i played awfully but I mean why not? ♦

I played this one terribly. But i mean when I call with JJ there I can't much better flops. The flop does not hit his range. He bets so big in the end ( I probably forgot we were deep) I just couldn't call that last bet. I see now that, as played I should have folded on the 2nd barrel, since he probably wont bluff with overcards there.
The thing I don't know is how I should play this pre flop. He 3 bets me so small I simply cannot fold. And the flop is a great one for me so i think atlease one call is ok here.

With a raiser and a caller i also call since QJs is good post flop in multiway pots. (flush/straightdraws etc at the same time their range hit good pairs when i get my FD and Str8draws.)
I hit an open ender+ a flushdraw. The limper raises which indicates that he probably hit his set. Now, I reraise thinking I have the best hand here. 15 outs I thought would give me over 50% chanse of winning. So I just want to put the money in right there. After checking what my percentage of winning was It was just 40,3% chance of me winning. (probably because the board can pair on the other card if I hit one.) Anyways should i just call here, playing with implied odds?
hand 1: you can just setmine if you think he is polarised to QQ+ ( or even AA ).
Dependant on villains range you can call flop and evaluate turn, i fold to his turn pot though.
Hand #2 - I'm not sure about the call preflop here, as you said it does play well in multiway pots but you have to remember about being out of position postflop, where I don't believe QJs plays particularly well. On the flop i'd probably check/call that for implied odds. As you said you're about 40% to beat his range from the flop, and if he hits a set here he is never, ever folding on the flop, so there's no fold equity. Whereas if you call you have a very good chance of completing one of your draws. Granted, a completion of a flush draw after a check/call on the flop may see him lay down his hand, but the cards that complete your straight draw may seem like blanks to Villain, so you will probably still be able to get it in hitting that. Either way, by check/calling the flop and turn you are either (usually) getting it all in on later streets if your draw completes. But when you don't hit your draw you are saving that big bet that will definately come on the river, which, if you played check call would be about a $2 saving. The reason for being aggro on draws is to add in some fold equity which would edge the odds in your favour, in my opinion on NL4 you have no fold equity on this flop vs a set, so it makes sense to play it passively
Haven't updated my blog for some days now so I thought I'd give you guys a status update.
My roll is currently at 134$ after having a mini-downswing down to 112 so im happy that i was able to turn it around and win again SH is bringing some bigger variance than im used to.
I'm starting to get used to the format now though and i think I am beating the SH games now, not sure though.
I'm trying to improve my game but I have a hard time finding my leaks. They often have to pop up in my face for me to realize. For instance a hand i just played. I had QQ from MP and i raise he calls. I hit top set and ofc i bet. (there is 2 hearts on the table. the flop is a blank so i bet big again to protect my hand from draws. River brings a 9 of hearts wich completes random straight draws and ofc the flush draw. I only check my QQ. He bets half pot. Now here is my big leak. I can't get myself to fold the hand. I know I'm beat and just before the time runs out i call and he shows the nut flush.
Also do you guys have any suggestions how to find my leaks? Should i record a session and watch it? Any ideas?
Heres my graph for NL4 so far:
Just moved my BR to FTP. I just love playing rush SH. The opposition is pretty soft and i can put in much more volume than i was able to put in before ♦
Heres a graph after playing 2k hands of NL5 SH rush I will also post a video of me playing 2 tables of rush, I'd like some comments on how i play
Here is a 30 minute video of me 2 tabling NL5SH RUSH, critisism appreciated!

I'm making good progress at NL5 SH I like the fact that i can play more hands/day which minimizes the luck factor a bit. Doesn't affect me in rl as much since i know now that I'm pretty much winning at this limit
Just realized how boring this blog is so ill start posting some youtube clips and stuff! Can't be all serious!! 
Had the worst day yet. Played my way up to 200$ and decided to take a shot at NL10. Big mistake. After 3 suckots with me having top set 3 times and loosing to gutshots FDs and OESD i finally lost AK vs KK for a total of - 46$ for the day. Guess I'll be grinding NL5 for some more time.
Some time since i posted here. Soo ill post my graph for 20K hands.
For the last 7k hands I've been winning @ 3,5 BB/100 which is below my average rate. This is after the day i lost 4,5 BI at nl10. All in my head? I'm not saying 3,5 BB/100 is bad but i mean its NL5 i should be winning more. Anyways I've been getting alot, and i mean alot of bad beats lately maybe that has something to do with it. I could really use a sweat session right now.
