Sooo things are going to be changing soon. I recently got a job, so I'll be starting work full time on March 15th! That's gonna be a big change for sure, so we'll see how that goes.

It comes at a good time for me. Poker has not been going well lately. I have days where I play well, but I can't escape variance for crap. I'm around 40 buyins under EV since the beginning of January, and my winrate isn't good enough on its own, to break through that.

I also have this problem where If I feel I a line that might induce barrels/bluffing, I seem to be incapable of folding. Here's a couple spots:

hand 1
-villain is a good villain on stars, pretty aggro but doesn't squeeze very much at all. Prob has squeeze stat of around 6%
-stacks are deepish, so I flatted his squeeze pre. Flop is probably questionable, but I figured he'd bet his entire squeezing range on this flop.

Hand 2
-villain is capable of bluffing, and I think has caught me bluff raising flops before etc.
-I feel like raising a hand like AQ on this board is good, cause its an AK2 board, and the raise here reps waay beyond nothing.
