Morning session: played 3 hours, lost $25.

The losing session was more by several 30-60bb pots than being stacked. Even got lucky calling QQ x AA PF and hitting a full house.

There was this hand, played against unknown villain (40 hands):

River: (57.4 BB, 2 players) 4♥
Hero checks, BTN bets 82.1 BB and is all-in, Hero calls 82.1 BB

PF I'm 3betting this like 25% and folding the rest from the SB.
F: 75%, could be a half pot bet, expecting to be called by flush draws, QT, JT, and even 99, 88. not sure if V has 89 in his range. Actually, I'd prefer the half pot here.
T: KT i'm checking, maybe AT I would double barrel for value, specially if I hadn't bloated the pot OTF.
R: I'm not expecting V to be best here many times, since nothing got there. There's the AT, the slowplayed sets, and jacks (which I expected would float T a lot). I also don't think worse will call, and unblocking his flush draws I decide to use my hand as a bluffcatcher. However he bombs an overbet and pretty sure my call is a bad move. I think it's an overbluffed spot (after having checked twice) but it's even more an underbluffed size.

Edit: Now I realized that flush draws are more likely to start bluffing the turn which makes my thought process even weaker.

My biggest mistake in this session was that I called rivers too much. That calling station inclination just gets worse when I'm feeling frustrated. Is like I'm in a hurry to make things happen and cannot understand in the moment the best thing I can do is to just play right, fold and keep going. I just get tempted by the same old thought that "it is not possible that he rivered it" and I would say that 80% of the times it was, as it was supposed to be because people are not simply bluff reraising 3barrels OTR at 10 NL as far as I know.

Gonna take some coffee and go for another one.

V is 21/19/11 with a xr OTF of 20, and raise cbet of 22 in 3bet pots.
Is this 3bet OTF correct? I thought he was check-raising TT, JJ and flush draws (although I have the Ac), besides the sets.

I'm probably done for the day.

Feeling good for today. I'm not sure that poker would ever survive if not for the stubborn feeling of hope.

I'll try to put on some 1-2h of study and 3-4h of playing, maybe a bit more.

I have a hard time playing CO/BTNxSB in 3bet pots from either position, so maybe honing that spot, starting from preflop. I also have to keep reminding myself to find check-raises OTF or I play too passively and face-up. Doing some work to find the right spots there.
I'm playing right now a simple strategy of 3bet/fold PF, I guess it wouldn't hurt to start throwing some pocket 88 and Axsuited from BTN. I find that the strategy GTOwizard uses is too agressive, 3betting almost every Axsuited X CO RFI. I simply don't have the post-flop expertise to do that profitably, but I'm burning money simply folding these hands I guess.

BR 343.

Played for about 5h today. 1,5k hands.
It started off pretty grim 5bet shoving AKs for 120bb and running into KK from an agressive player. It must be alright for 120 bb also, right?
But then things were turning out fine, getting it all in with top set against lower set, bluffs working, hitting some boards and eventually recovering from the early loss.

Then this happened, with a player VPIPing 70:

So one more losing day. However I'm still feeling pretty good. Did some training on paired boards before the session, and implemented the calling strategy from the button if SB e BB are not squeezers and calling yet more loosely with fun players on the blinds. Not so good with the xr though. I still get pretty lost with what the hell I am doing OTT in most runouts, not knowing when to give up specially, overbarreling probably.
Mental state was 10/10. Just ridiculous. Not even close to tilting, over bad news in 1 or 2 minutes.

There was also this hand which I'm not so sure if fold is good OTR:

V is 21/19/9 and cbets flop every 3bet pot, barreling half the turns.

I'll eventually call AKo IP, mostly 4betting, sometimes all-in.

OTF I could've reraised? I'm not thrilled about it. I think he is folding even AQ.
I'm behind AA, KK, QQ and KQ here.

Turn AJ gets there, TT hits a set, KTs and QTs hits 2p. I block some bluffs with the Ac. Still think it's alright for me to call here. Shoving is out of the question.

River doesn't change anything. But 3betting PF and triple barreling seems to be an underbluffed node. Which bluffs does he have here? Is he turning 88, 99, JJ into a bluff? A9s? AT? I don't know.
So I fold.

Tomorrow is a busy day so I'll just be able to play at night.
Can't wait for it.

BR 327.

I'm very tired.

Played 3h today after working, but that was tough and towards the end of the session I was not so focused and made a few unremarkable but mistakes nonetheless.

I might get back with some hands tomorrow, right now I can't even think straight and my eyes are heavy.

Oh, but winning session! +18, 4 turning the fortune wheel. The beggining was definitely atrocious: 2bi down, one with sets against completed gutshot (after calling big bet) OTT, other 3betting from the SB with AA, low board, betting huge, V calling, J OTT, all-in, villain calls with JJ.

There was a guy that just handed me 80 bb donking all-in A7s OTF (low, rainbow) when I had KK.
I must stop focusing on the bad aspects. So next hands I'll try to bring one that I had luck or played correctly.

Good night.

BR 345.

Had a nice one today.

Woke up, read a little - I'm reading Richard II, intending to read all of shakespeare's histories, that one being about the downfall of a young and impopular king that surrounded himself of flatterers, banished worthy men and apparently lacked the skill and virtue to keep a healthy kingdom going. It's pretty cool how I'm never sure if he actually BELIEVES his divine right or if he only uses it for his own advantage.
Then I wrote a bit, had a good conversation with gf, had lunch and went for the tables.

It's been profitable to call BTN with SC, Axs and pocket pairs with some frequency specially against UTG.
I'm actually implementing a donking strategy from the bb too in connected boards when I have range advantage. Nobody ever folds OTF but the turn is where the magic seems to happen.

+22

BR 369.

Morning session was +25 after sleeping horribly.

Didn't really mind for the way I was playing, and didn't play many hands that were interesting.

Is this too tight of a fold OTT against unknown V?

OTF I think it is a range bet (1/3 or 1/2pot), and range betting might have saved me the trouble. However once checking the correct move is calling.

OTT I face a big bet. I don't know. I think that I'd be more inclined to call if it was BTNxSB, but UTG has a lot of Kx and the big bet seems reasonable here. But there's just a lot o Ax isn't it?

Should've cbet flop, check turn and decide if floated.

Also, been thinking of adding a 3rd zoom table.

To another one.

BR 394.

Punted a stack.
Really calling overbet 3xpot is never the brightest idea.

2,1k hands played so far.

What about this one:

River: (284.4 BB, 2 players) 2♣

V 3bets 21% from SB. Stats 28/23/15.
Not enough hands on 4/5bet pots.

I see there's slowed played aces in her range, TT and 88, but don't think that's very likely. I thought she could be check-raising air on the dry board.
But taking a closer look on her stats, it doesn't seem she's agressive at all post-flop, check-raising flop only 9% of the hands, raising cbet 7%. Cbeting 73% but cbeting turn only 17% so no problems giving up. Not sure if that info would be enough for me changing my line. Maybe.
Other point is the 140bb but I barely know how to play 4bet pots, so adjusting to different effective sizes is unthinkable here. Would ATs call me here? is it even in her range? Actually no clue.
Calling would be fine but maybe in this 4bet pots there's more value to do that shove for protection because it's a disaster if I call and Q, K or A hits OTT, and if every other card hits, I'm going to call a shove anyway it seems.

Just take the beating. Things are going well and I'm running good last few days.

BR 368 after trying to get funny here:

River: (165.2 BB, 2 players) 2♦

Ill advised to donk here, without range or nut advantage, but V seemed to 3bet very little BxB and I put him on AA, AK, KK, QQ.

OTF one combo of KK, and one of QQ are ahead, 8 combos of AK and 6 AA are behind, and I can get a lot of value from those. I have no clubs and a flush completing turn would diminish my equity (that Ac is still out there), so I plan basically to bomb-donk flop and shove turn. I think there's less fold equity with donking than with xr anyway.
The other line (xr and shove turn) might be the same, or even better.

OTT we have already crossed the rubicon and there's not much we can do. Or is there? I don't want to blame fortune here but goddamit didn't account for the pairing board. Actually when I bombed I considered sightly the fact the aces now beat me. Maybe block bet?

Getting funny is all fun until you get wracked.

BR 368, again.

I'm pausing because I'm getting absolutely crushed.

300 hands and everytime I 4bet I'm guaranteed to get stacked.

You know those tender moments when you, a player that 3bets 4 (FOUR) % decide to randomize a little and 3bet HJ and calling a 4bet with 86s?

Say what you will about calling river, which might be a blunder indeed because he has JJ and AQs, doesn't he? For all I know he can be just gambling a bit with Kc4c and hit 2p.

Not holding diamonds made it even better.

I might have to learn the game all over again because what else? Clueless is what I am. When I suppose a wide range (V was 39/17), guy shows up with the absolute nuts that I block, unblocking his bluffs; and when I suppose a narrow range, the nittiest of the nits comes up with a wild 86s to devour my dumb mind.

I will recompose myself. I have 6 1$ tickets to gamble on spins and gos.

BR 342.

I have recomposed myself. And I joined the BR challenge.

Played 2k hands.
I'm not sure why but I don't feel fully engaged. I reviewed the KT 2p calling shove OTT and it was insane to call the 3bet there. The game-changer detail is that V is 17/11/3 so this guy is not findind 3bet bluffs OTT. Could've saved 7 dollars. But that is not the point. The point is that I do not feel fully aware while I'm playing and don't understand why that is. That might be related to some anxious energy throughout the day that I just alleviated by dancing when I should be working out and taking cold baths. Had less coffee than usual too.

Other thing I noticed is that I actually dislike running good, at least when I'm not playing the A game. I rather lose money with a positive C All-in Adj than having a winning session with C all-in adj negative. Neurotic pattern of thinking that's what it is.

Tomorrow the most I can expect is a scattered session because work will take some time.

BR 374.

Swinged down and up, up and down, and the days pass like this.

This guy is the same one that I folded TPTK OTR to a shove with AK on K5Q T 7 because I couldn't find his bluffs there.
I still think that was a fold, but I have been noticing he overbluffs and takes advantage of passive behaviour in 3bet pots, going for stacks very frequently. He must be one of these red line dudes.

Given history I chose this very small size OTF to induce him to float turn and shove river. But man... this guy had outs. It must be a good hand to bluff with and had the river completed the gutshot I would've never guessed. But his attacking a board with so little range advantage seems crazy.

His range is still pretty strong because he barely calls PF 3bets, just 23% (that is After Raising). SO TT is there, AT is there, maybe even AK.

Wrote the above yesterday.

Today was pretty good. + 17.

BR 391.

Worst day so far. Lost 2bi in 1,2k hands, the first 500 card dead and the other 700 losing. It's a very tough competition between my bankroll and my mood to see which one will have the most brutal swings.

I'm feeling tilted. Not really punting or anything but I'm sure that If I keep playing it will get even worse. Sadly I'm also sure I'll keep playing.

Just look at this turn:

V is 24/13/4

I do not like the 3bet OTF. It's one of the most underbluffed moves at NL10. I think he would go for it if he had the nut flush draw. But it's either that or a made flush. Anyway I have the odds to call here and hit a full house.
I know that I should not reraise in a monotone board with sets OOP because equities can drastically change OTT - that's exactly what happened here -. I would like to say that this was an exploitative move but I just think it's a nonsensical one.
There's not a single reason I can come up with to stray away from gto here. V basically calls or raises anything with a spade and that's what he should do. Now I dragged myself to an unknown land in which I will get punished in exchange for nothing. Maybe he raises more than GTO with made flush but that won't make a difference for me unless I'm folding 99 exploitatively against flop 3bet. I'm not doing that by any stretch.

Turn completes the nightmare and also think I gotta call because two 9, three 2, 4 and 5 left so around 22% when I need around 25% and I think I'll get paid if river pairs.

River is the void and this is a joke.

Now I'm feeling better.

BR 370.

I actually can't do it right now.

Played a few hundred hands and was already 3 buy-ins below EV. This is not losing AKxQQ. It's someone calling my check-shove OTT with a medium flush-draw and no pair and hitting the river, then 50 hands later, I 3bet OTF (T82) of a 4bet pot with QQ and guy simply call with AK and hits K OTT. I can't keep up. I understand that this is it and I'm in for the long run, but it's hard to ignore such a feeling of disgust.

This was a something of a tough week, I worked more hours and more intensely than usual, and maybe because of that I'm not really thrilled to play variance's petty game. I'm gonna let that BS slide and get back to it on monday. I hate taking breaks but it's needed this time.

It's OK.

Really wasn't planning to play today, but decided to see what was going on at the tables since I had a spare time and no worries.

300 hands and + 23. I'm stopping now. Not ruining the weekend after that good run.

I'm watching oscar nominees today and tomorrow.
The brutalist seems cool but it's the opposite of turbo with this outrageous lenght of 3h40.
I'm still here is from my country so I'm watching it although not being thrilled for it.
Anora seems pretty cool from what I've heard but can't find it anywhere.
The only one that I've already watched is The Substance, which is overhyped, poorly acted, with stereotyped secondary characters, an uncharismatic main character. Depending too much on the gory aesthetics, it neglects meaning, really. It's overwhelmingly modern and surfs the current ideological fashion. The premise is actually very good, but that's it. It's like someone that had a glimpse of a good idea but no idea how to explore it, and decided to explore it anyway, resulting in a promising but ultimately disappointing piece that criticizes superficiality while failing to be anything more than shallow.

Gotta lunch now.
