    Played decently today. Was a pretty crazy session, 3betting 11% with tons of ppl seemingly calling every 3bet. Lot's of swings for sure. Ended up down $230, with variance beating me down a bit.

    Avoidable Losses

    Total avoidable losses around $575.

    Villain and i have been battling a ton. He's been calling lots of 3bets, and raising tons of flops over my small cbets. I've been jamming strong hands over him, and he's seen a few strong hands.

    I really don't like my river sizing. I think I should either give up, shove river, or bet very very small just to take him off KQ/QT/T8 or some other FD's.

    My sizing is too big for getting rid of his air, but too small for getting folds of Jx. Avoidable losses: $135.

    Villain in this hand has played pretty straightforward so far. Based on his turn timing and sizing I really don't like this shove. He felt strong to me. I should be calling this turn and re-eval river. Avoidable losses: $250

    This hand I'm torn about. Cold caller pre is a fish, 44/15 type, so I think he can be wide enough to have me beat here. Think I should be folding this turn shove, especially since he's shoving with a player to act behind. Avoidable losses: $190

    Sizing hands


    13)
    This hand the flop can go either way. I don't mind calling and letting a bluff continue, or 3betting here. After flatting, this river is a bit weird. I've definitely seen ppl spew here after convincing themselves that they are repping a boat by raising flop and checking back turn. I'm surprised to see the hand he showed up with, and not sure what he would have done had I 3bet the flop.

    Villain was kinda taggy. This is where flop sizing like this can get you into tough spots. I think after betting so small, he might definitely raise hands like QJ/KQ and maybe even some 78 stuff. This river is a pretty good card because I think all of these draws end up continuing with their hands, so I think a call is ok here?
