Session 2 - full ring
Tables were very soft tonight, I haven´t been in too many sick spots and didn´t make huge mistakes. Inspired by wufwugy I´m dumping 22-55 UTG and UTG+1 for a sample of 20k hands. Its not a question, that playing these in EP is marginal at best, but playing them profitable (if possible) requires great hand reading skills and excellent postflop skills. Neither am I a good hand reader nor do I play optimal postflop, so I guess it´s a good thing to dump these and maybe start playing them later, when my hand reading improved and the opposition becomes a bit more predictable. I´m curious if we could get a large enough sample together to see, if it could ever be profitable to play small pp´s in EP. So far I can say, that I don´t feel like I´m missing a lot, but I´m avoiding many situations where I had the chance to make a mistake/spew chips.
My plan to tighten up in EP and therefore look for more opportunities to 3bet IP/from the blinds worked well. I´ve discovered the great secret of poker, that I shouldn´t adjust actions but ranges, meaning that I ain´t 3betting anymore "b/c he´s raising wide otb" but widen my range and stick to it. Pretty trivial, but it took me years to completely understand this.

I´ve already posted a hand in the full ring forum, here are more from tonights hands:
#1 Biggest pot won: Button is 18/9 and thinking. We have a long history and trying to play each other as often as possible. He views me probably as thinking and slightly spewy TAG, his flop raise could be anything from mid pp´s, fd´s, sets or queens.

#2 Biggest pot lost:
Thats he hand I posted in the full ring forum. BB is a station and called down with 2nd pr before. He´s passive and could show up with a random 9 as well as JT/QJ/AJ, why I decided to value the river. In retrospective I may have folded to the river c/r, but it didnt make any sense to me and getting like 4:1 I was commited anyway, right?
