I'm pretty confident that all my GTO studying helped a lot with this. Having a foundation that you're sticking to definitely helps keep you in line. Decisions don't seem arbitrary anymore, they are based on fundamentals and being done for a reason. (ie: I'm not just randomly 4b whenever I feel like it, but it's based on solid ranges that I've worked on, for example).

Varying bet sizes - I think I've also been working on this too. I think again this ties into GTO studying. For example, I'm thinking more along the lines of, "If I bet X size, then villain needs to continue with Y% of his range.", which extends to: "I would like to bet Z range in this particular spot. In order for betting this range to be profitable, I need villain to call with Y% of his range. If I bet X size, then villain needs to call with Y% of his range, therefore my bet will be profitable"

If that makes any sense? haha. Really just thinking a lot more about my sizing, and what that means for villain and how often he has to continue.

ie: If I bet half pot on the river, villain needs to continue with 66% of his range. So in that spot I know that I'm winning more than 50% of the time if he calls with 66% of his range. So villain is in a crappy spot where he can either call appropriately, but my range beats his more than 50% of the time, or he can fold the bottom of his range such that his calling range beats my range but he's folding too often.
Nice work.

How's real life job going for ye, this is my annual catch up post
