Had a real good session last night. +2.5 BIs while only 2 tabling. A friend was sweating me so I didn't wanna play anymore than 2 since I was discusssing thought processes in some depth on msn at the same time. I found that only playing 2 tables and actually thinking out loud helped organise my thoughts and put people on ranges more efficiently. If anyone wants to do some sweat sessions over teamviewer give me a shout since I'm going to try and do more of it.

Okay so I'm now up over like 4.5K hands. My game hasn't been great though so far. I've played well in some spots I feel then disasterously in others. Some of it's probably just being out of practice and getting back into the swing.

I'm going to post this one hand that I'm a little unsure of to try and get some feedback on my line.

Villain is a reg, running 21/19 ATS of 40 over 140 hands. I've already squeezed him and 3-bet him once already in this session. He sees me as aggro preflop so his calling range is probably wider than you'd usually expect in this spot. Probably something like 88+, AQo+. I might just call preflop vs a positionally aware reg that opens a tight range utg, but given history I think it's an easy 3-bet. Also, there's a chance he may 4-bet bluff with the bottom of his opening range.

Since we're deep I chose a pot control line on the turn because I don't think there are worse kings in his range.e the look of b/f and b/c. I think this is a good spot to protect my stack since I don't think I get value from too much and I sure hat Basically I think his range is made up of floats, weaker one pair hands that can't stand a 2nd barrel and nut hands that crush me. I do however think he'll bet this turn with all floats (AQ combos and possibly JJ QQ if I check. So I call the turn bet since I've induced it. I plan on c/c most rivers.

How does this look?

No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

CO ($24.40)
Button ($23.65)

BB ($23.35)
UTG ($37.80)
MP ($32.85)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K, A
UTG bets $1, 3 folds, Hero raises $3.35, 1 fold, UTG calls $2.45

Flop: ($7.15) 9, 10, K (2 players)
Hero bets $4.20, UTG calls $4.20

Hero checks, UTG bets $8, Hero calls $8

River: ($31.55) 8 (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks

Total pot: $31.55


My BRs now $626.00. Time to work on the worst aspect of my grind so far - volume. As usual I've put off playing as much as I should be. 2k hands today fuck it, don't care if people call me up and wanna do stuff I'll be like "No way man, I've got better things to do."
