Session 15

Hands: 617
Net: $550

Good enough, though the money I won was through a series of absolute gifts. You could probably argue the money I lost was similarly gifted, in that I made very thin call downs and was wrong.

My read on this fellow was that he couldn't value bet at all thin. Therefore, I think only *maybe* does AQ bet the river, basically nothing else. That's a small number of combos, of which if he only bets the river 50% I can remove half... so I called.

The above spot is interesting, similar to when you are raised in a single raised pot holding an overpair with a flush draw on board. I recently did the maths, and IMO you are far far better off flatting, waiting for a safe turn, then committing, than you are 3betting the flop.

While typing this I've been starting my session 16, just on the 1 table. In 11 hands I'm up $683. Chris is at my table, he's 3bet me with junk once but I didn't have the heart to fight back. Anyway, losing on FTP is bothering me again. I'm now $8704 for the month on UB, and $3k down on FT. So, while I'm feeling this focussed I'm going to play the next session on FT to try and reduce the PTR deficit.....

Session 16 coming up.
