so there's my july graph. fucking horrible i know. I wish i could just play consistently because i know i can bet this game. I cashed out $3500 last night so my roll is now at $6k and i am going to play $100nl on FTP until i make a set amount of buyins. I havn't thought it through really, but i think something like making 20 buyins at nl100 with atleast a 3ptbb/100 winrate would be good before moving back up. This is the first time in my poker career (lol can i call it that?) that i have moved down for anything other than being underrolled. I'm down like 15 buyins or something stupid this year at nl200 and have only made money through rakeback, which isn't even that much.

i hope to get in atleast 10-12k hands this month, but adjusting to having a baby around its tough to get hands in. I do have $700 worth of bonus money that should clear in about 5-6k more hands that will help pad my roll, but i guess that doesn't matter much. I'm going to focus on winrate rather that a certain bankroll amount to move back up.

I'll try to update this regularly again, but i suck at that so no promises.

 villain is DirteAA, decent reg 22.5/19.5/2.5 over 900 hands, 3bets 7.5% total, 8% from the button. I haven't played nl100 much since november of last year, so most of the hands are from then. He may have switched up his game entirely by now.

This was 50ish hands into this session. I got my stack by villain 4bet shoving AQo over my squeeze with AK from the SB. This is the first session i've played in a week or so and i felt completely lost in this hand despite flopping the world. I'm def. not 3betting this 200bb deep because i'm not happy getting it in. Calling def. seems best on the flop. idk, on the flop i feel like a c/r is only getting called/shoved on by AK/AA/KK, which is fine since AK has the most combos, but with an A and K on the board he's got a weak hand here so much and i can get atleast a cbet out of him most times. Once the turn hits, i feel like the only thing i beat that he is continuing with is AQ and again, only 3 combos of that so....

i still feel so lost on the best way to play this hand. Halp!

c/c down is fine, all his Ax hands will still bet river anyway. callign here keeps some of his range in.
Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

ok, i thought i was a huge nit for playing it the way i did. I called turn, checked a blank river. villain tanked and eventually checked back, but i was seriously thinking about trying to fold to the ~PSB river shove that was coming. still dont think i could have folded though.
