    Nothing too exciting to note from tonight's session but I need to post hands here as a prop bet to myself that I'm reviewing my sessions.

    Villain is 10/8 over 81. Cbets flops only 33%, so yeah, he's pretty honest. I thought about donking here but I don't think he's calling with worse. He'll call with AKcc, AJcc, and maybe KJcc but he's actually a 55/45 favorite. I took a stab on the turn to protect my hand against Ax and Kx type hands. I don't think this guy bluff raises me off my hand and I don't want to see a 4th club on the river, or an A or K so I'm protecting my hand for the minimum amount I think he folds to.

    Stacks:
    UTG (    $10.18)
    UTG+1 (    $9.21)
    MP1 (    $5)
    MP2 ($9.90)
    MP3 ($17)
    CO (    $4.71)
    BTN (    $11.63)
    SB (    $4.42)
    Hero ($10)

    Pre-Flop:     ($0.15, 9 players) Hero is BB
    3 folds, MP2 calls $0.10, MP3 raises to $0.50, 3 folds, Hero calls $0.40, MP2 folds

    Flop:     ($1.15, 2 players)
    Hero checks, MP3 checks

    Turn:     ($1.15, 2 players)
     Hero bets $0.65, MP3 folds


    Villain is 35/23 over 43 hands with an AFq of 93% and already donked twice. He leads in to me on the flop with a wide range, pretty much Ax, Kx, 6x and lots of air and small pairs. I doubt he's calling my 3x raise on this board with a 6 or a K so I'm damn near certain he's got Ax or if he's really bad QJ, JT, or QT. Lolz @ the turn donk. If he's got A6 so be it, I'm going broke against this dude. Anyway, he's spazzing so I think he'll call a shove as much as he would a psb raise.

    Playing nittier from the blinds actually can help your redline because you play less pots OOP and thus get in less shitty spots where you can to give up when a bluff doesn't work or your hand isn't strong enough to bet bet c/c or w/e

    You're definitely hindering your growth by not moving up if you have a 2k roll and are playing 10nl. It's obvious from your casino experience that you don't have a problem taking bigger swings, so I'd play some 25nl for a very short amount of time and try to at least give 50nl a 3 or 4 buy in shot as soon as possible. Even if you lose, you'll learn a lot and eventually you'll figure out how to adjust and beat the game for a way bigger hourly than is possible at 10nl.

    When you move up to 25NL the pot's are going to seem much bigger but just keep reminding yourself that you have 80 BIs. GL

    for the sake of your development as a player I think you should at least be playing 25nl, particularly since the actual $$$ at stake isn't much of an issue. my 2c
