nice blog

hands 7/11
AdQd - you can fold here not closing the action
KdTh - 3x steal is fine, so is 2.2-2.7x. I don't like 3betting the flop. As played shove turn is fine, so is checking back trying to race to a free showdown.
QhJh - you aren't really deep enough to nut-mine here pre, fold. You are behind with 12 outs and zero fold equity most of the time when he cbets this flop = call. Shove if his range wasn't so nutted.
AcKs - good spot to fold AK pre

re poker maths - don't stress it too much, doesn't need to be exact. Rule of 2 and 4, spoonitnow's threads that are linked from rpm's uber-link thread in the bc, you'll be fine.

hands 10/11
QhJd - fold pre. His flop 3b should terrify you, cos you rep 8T/KT/JJ/etc and he's keen to play for stacks.
8h9h - nh sir
TT - bet the flop, rest is standard

percentages and odds are just different ways to express the same thing. You like percentages? use percentages then, ez game. e.g. i've got 9 outs, so about 20% to turn the nuts, so I can call a bet if my call will be less than 20% of the final pot. Hmm, he bet 30c into $1, 30/160 = sweet, calling is fine. etc.

your chart is a good idea, and pretty soon you should have that shit internalised cos you're counting cards = outs and multiplying by two for % chance of hitting, backdoors add about one out over two streets to come.

nice work on moving up to 25nl for the first time. Even nicer work for having the discipline to move back down.

re too many tables. Load up 20 play money tables or 10x2nl tables and play them as seriously as you can. After that, 4-tabling will be a breeze.

AcJc - pre is fine. Not sure why you are donking flop here, button will cb his entire range but fold some of the weakest end to a donk. Bet-fold turn as played. Meh, river is fine as played.
33 - don't use 'every single hand i can put villain on a range' as an excuse to spew too much. Note that villains in this spot are often not good enough to fold JJ+, and that you are unlikely to raise a boat in this spot - cos why would you?
