Also, it's "[spoiler ] and [/spoiler ]" (without spaces). Here's some hand responses too:

QQ stando.

AA doubt I fold in game, but looks really close to being a fold.

KK, again I doubt I fold, but against an unknown is this not a spot we would tend to fold without a read? Or is there just too much in there and since he's an unknown he can be spazzing?

KJ I agree with duggs. I saw your turn bet, didn't think it was terribad, but don't think I'd be doing it in game, since I don't see him calling much worse (sucks we don't have a kicker anymore).

ATss I honestly don't really know whether I prefer raising flop or turn, but once we've x-raised flop, we can obviously gii.

AxKh, looks standard on the flop and turn, but I think the river is almost certainly a fold. Especially against that sizing, since it gives us worse odds, and also weighs his range more to nutted hands imo.

QQ, I play it exactly the same.

KJdd, board so draw heavy and we don't even block Jh, so I think I'm never folding. Still nasty though, and I expect it to be close, since I don't know how often he jams bare flush draws rather than going for a smaller raise.

QQ looks good imo. Just nasty - but good.

KK I probably default bet there, but that may be pretty bad. As played, and when he pots it it's always a fold I think.

KK, really on the fence, since his 3b is so small, but I think in game I jam or flat. Flat is probably closer to correct imo, but folding might be best. I doubt I will ever find a realistic spot where I think folding KK pre is CLEARLY correct 100bb deep or less though.

A4hh, not sure I even 3bet pre, especially if he's going to flat a fair bit, but as played I obv cbet flop. I think it's a pretty bad turn card for us to barrel though. As played I give up on river as you did.

KK is fine until turn, where I think we should definitely be folding. I doubt he is over-valuing AQ here, and he obv has no air, because of the side pot. Looks like QQ+ VERY close to 100%.

QQ looks standard to me - nh.

AKhh, can we not just flat the turn? Seems unlikely villain ever gets away OTR, so we lose nothing by flatting turn and folding blank rivers. We're getting pretty close to 4:1 OTT, so if we get anything on rivers where we hit the flush then that's just extra cheese. We have no FE OTT either imo, so we gain nothing by jamming.

KK looks standard - nh.

KK river jam seems pretty thin with villain's sizing.

99, I like it. NH.

Looks pretty good overall - just running into it for the most part. Keep it up buddy. Hopefully I'll be around for some sweats soon. Just started App's of NLHE, still in the intro sections, but enjoying it and a good refresher so far.

33, donk looks sexy, though may be a bit results-oriented since flop checked through. Def seems solid multiway on a draw-heavy board though. As played, turn donk seems required, but I'm never gii, since CO should have almost no semibluffs (most of them bet the flop or call the turn), and don't see what pure air he can have. I want to x/f the river.

AQ, flop might be a fold but I really don't know. Feels like a fold off-table but I doubt I ever fold in-game. Obv turn is a gii, though I expect to be showed a decent number of boats.

AQ hand: Probably folding flop to that re raise. He calls with basically all his combos of queens... Like why would he almost min re pop QK? He just wouldn't unless we have reason to believe he's Terribad. Your beat almost 100% of the time here on the flop, just b/f and move on. The value portion of his range hammers us.

Well if we decide he's terribad why doesn't he have 55 or 10Q In his range? I just think that a lot of the time we are behind here when he re raises flop

And if he's actually retarded enough to re raise this flop with worse than AQ, there will most certainly be better Opportunities to get our money in against him with a much greater, and more certain edge

I think its a call because I really dont want to fold the top of my range to a min raise in a 3bet sqz pot lol however I think the cbet is actually the mistake of the hand. think i should x/c here a lot.

I have a suggestion.

Number the hands from now on. It will make it a LOT easier to reference and find the hands being talked about.

Off the top of my head and it's late - about to go to bed - but here're a few thoughts: A-game is essentially the best you are capable of, so how that differs from a C-game will depend on you. For me, my mental A-game involves shaking off beats, ability to play longer sessions with higher focus, and overall just playing at my highest ability level. C-game most notably includes any kind of tilting.

Still working on my ranking system and will share when im done.

Adding a 5 min warm-up before sessions now as well which will include:
-review of ranges
-review a topic to focus on for the week
-Write down how long im going to play for and my stop loss


Played about 2k hands today. Pretty much BE.

Mental Game: B-Game
-couple different types of tilt but mainly just trying to win every pot so that I get even.

Tactical Game: C-Game
-made 2 pretty terrible calls


Not many spots either so heres a couple hands :)

KK hand, just want to make sure I understand your line. Based on stats, are we assuming a lot of his flat 3b range includes PP's and strong Ax, which we think are more likely to pay off turn/river bets than flop/turn bets? I think I like the line, though my gut was to bet flop because it's wet. But not really sure it's that wet for his range so line looks good I think.

AQo is obv standard until the turn, and I think it all comes down to how confident you are that he flats the flop really wide. Because if he's not calling with a bunch of weak stuff on the flop, the turn doesn't change the board or even give us any more equity, so most of his decent holdings on the flop are going to flat the turn. If we're planning to triple barrel that's another story, but on this board with no draws, I don't think I'd be on board with tripling really.

JJ I'm frankly not sure about. My first thought was that it seems fairly standard to fold this OOP to a cold 4b, but his stats are making me question it a bit. I think it's fine, but we should definitely keep an eye on BB to see how much he might be getting out of line in spots like that.

basically to keep my x/c range strong vs this nit. and if i get x/r i hate my life. so x/c then i can still get 2 streets of value plus i have Kc

honestly, i think this is just an exploitative bet. I bet I can get JJ and worse to fold here and if i triple i bet i get KQ/KJ to fold as well. from what ive seen a lot of ppl fold to triples vs this a lot.

Im gunna check out some math on this though cause im not sure how great it is. and my sizing im not sure. cause if he calls OTT then i have a pretty small bet OTR and give him good odds to call :(

yup i made a note but i pretty much need him to be doing this w like TT+/AQ to GII happily and Im not.

2.7k hands again today. so far +3BI


Warm-up: Yes
Focus for session: open MP/CO wider
-focus on keeping timing standard (not really for tells but so I actually think)

Mental Game: A-Game
- Tilted when I ran into some weird hands but I recovered quick or took a little break

Tactical Game: A-Game
-made 1 bad bluff: x/r a spot w pretty much air and got called which pretty much meant he had a set but finished the bluff anyway
- made some solid fold
- Adjusting betsizing vs different stacks + to get preferrable SPRs
- Planning hands OTF


Hand Review

Hand 1:

Normally I wouldnt cbet here but I think I take it down cause board doesnt hit cold-callers range that much.

Hand 4:

Think i should x turn cause im worried sb has the nuts. I block AQ so its really unlikely he has that. hes just got a lot of pairs in his 23/13 or whatever range that cold-calls an MP open in sb.

so i think turn is x/f

villain is unknown. 30/10

- my intention OTR was to x/snap which i did. i think he doesnt have a lot of flushes here is is more likely to have Ax/two-pair and sets. I should probs 3bet the flop and GII though

Session Length: 4k hands
Profit: +6BI

Warm-up: Yes
Session Focus:
1). Widening MP/CO RFI - no 20% from MP and 28% from CO
2). Taking time w decisions - yes

Mental Game: B-Game
- Was really focused for an hour then started to fade off
- First 2k hands I was just grinding then was running into the top of ranges and losing or just running into sets
- managed to keep it together

Tactical Game: B-Game
- dont think i 3bet wide enough
- made a couple good folds and stopped a spew OTT

Hand 2

vs a good reg. 22/19 w 7 3B. FCB 75%
WTSD/WSD/W$WSF 20/22/37

Was going to x/f the turn but when he checked the turn i dont think he has a straight but only sets. i think straights bet the turn for value a lot of the time so i think when i bink a set OTR i should jam for value.

Too thin?

nit reg but didnt know it at the time. he was unknown at the time but assumed he was a reg.

- i called pre instead of 3betting cause i think its just looks really nutted when i 3bet an MP unknown open in CO.
- was planning on raising OTF but kinda dry
- can i raise OTR or OTT even?
