On my last message I told you about my first day of the project,
I LIED!
I made my deposit today, coz my account didn't want to get the money in before, so sorry about that and lets move on to
DAY 1
At the beginning of the day my own play was a bit sticky as it had been for last 2-3 days I'd played. I made a small session review after 200 hands - nothing special that leaked me, but I just got bad beats there. No can do, but I noticed that I should avoid raising flops with practically no equity. After review my run started to get a bit better and then, with selected aggression, my game got better! Hah. Lesson: Make session reviews once in a while.
Giraffee:
Then some problematic hands, I think...
1. This hand caused me a lot of headache. Villain had been very aggro monkey and raised cbet 3/4 in positions. Again, he made the same move and I called. On river it was a must call as nothing paired up and flush busted, but still, I hated doing it as it could have made my great session into a break session. Other stats that supported my decision were cbet 100 % in every street and W$SD value, which was 60..

2. This hand... I was facing a fish and a potential nit. I think that the 3-bettor wouldn't do it with tens, maybe not even with a hand like JJ or QJ. His fold to 3-bet stat was high, so I didn't cold 4-betted him as it would seem like KK+ and would drive the fish away. Flop is nice and guy cbets - I think he is rarely bluffing here. Especially on quite scary turn where he decides to overpot it. So his range really is now JJ or QQ+ there. Had to think for a while, but decided to catch his bet as I'm most likely ahead of him and the fish might even join the party with weaker hand as he won't (most likely) have sets when he played flop so passively.
