♠_biggrin: That's actually a very good idea
I like these traps :f_biggrin:,
but let's talk about this hand in detail.
Spoiler
I should c-bet most of my range here, am I right?
This flop is quite draw-heavy. I guess it hits both ranges equally but honestly, I don't know how to know that.
My sizing could be bigger but I think it's not that bad. He just calls so I put him on a draw or weaker pair.
Turn gives me the best hand so I want to get as much value as possible from the draw. He calls again.
The river may complete his flush draw.
Can I get a value from betting the river? No, so why not let him bluff 
In retrospect, his play doesn't make sense to me. Apparently, he's just too sticky with his third pair.
I mark him as a station and move on.

Welcome into the Bankroll challenge and good luck!
Thank you! 
I should open an account on KKPoker just to do the challenge.
I'm struggling to get back into Hold'em and it would give me an opportunity.

Let's gooooo 
The number of hands played last week is below my usual standard. I had some other issues to solve. Some of them persist to this week though, but I hope I can manage more time to play.
At least I did some of my regular studies. I studied ranges for defending BB from all other positions vs 3x bets.
This week I'm going to study ranges for defending BB vs 2.5x bets.
According to the graph, I'm running $55.61 below EV - All time. I'm not entirely happy about it, but I'm not sorry either.
I think for start it's better than running above EV. This makes me study more.
Fortunately, I have a good mindset about this. I know this is just variance and I don't till because of a bad run, I rather tilt because of my mistakes.
Much needed this article, great value, I finally know how to train thinking in ranges.

Hi,
It's a nice hand but w that minraise on turn I think u are giving him good price to outdraw you (w just a bit of implied odds).

Hi!
Yes, true, but I didn't want to scare him off his hand. I wanted to fast play and induce his shove which he did
