Session 1

I won a decent amount. Not too much (so no complacency), and not too little (so I stop telling my elephant how unfair it is that I'll probably not be able to go to the Irish and Vegas).

We're playing HU at this point. Recent history is that he 3bet/5bet jammed 87o to my QQ 4bet. I check flop, thoughts? It's like, I usually bet 100% as a bluff, except maybe I give up on this board sometimes so balance wise I think it's fine to check AA etc occasionally. Getting raised would have to be a bet fold I think this deep, which is obviously horrible.

So then on the turn he's repping a J or a 6. Probably the 6 is more plausible as I expect most Js on the flop to stab or bet a straight for value. Maybe not J8s, but that's a small part of the range. Probably not a turn fold though, even though IF he is bluffing he's very likely to bluff the river.

River, I'm not sure a 6 still bets this strong for value, leaving AJ/J8/J9? I'm sure JQ would stab the flop, and JT obv bets. So, who calls who folds? I think on the side of not calling he's going to put me on QQ+ very often and probably doesn't expect me to fold them, who knows.

Here I flop the nuts, and I'm left with raising or calling. Obviously neither are terrible, but still I think I made a mistake. I'm actually very very sure that he's bluffing with the best hand here, but that's kind of a function of the board running out the way it did. On the flop, IP, I'm sure that by calling I stand to win the most and lose the least assuming the board runs out 2 smaller cards and he doesn't 3 barrel bluff. So, I call and hit and stack his overpair, or I call and miss and bluff his overcards or whatever that give up. Just kind of unfortunate I think, but maybe VS someone good enough to 3barrel in this spot in future I should jam the turn.

I think the above hand comes down to pure levels. I hate this word, but my range in his syes is CAPPED to a pair of Js I think given I literally never check back top pair and he knows this. The thing is, it's pretty fuckin obvious my range is capped, and similarly obvious that he *should* therefore be overbet bluffing my weak range, and it's therefore very obvious that I should call with said weak range..... but how obvious? The thing is, I wasn't sure that he's good enough to merge me with KT or whatever here (Gui becomes a much tougher decision), so together with the twelzillion turn semi bluffs I went with the call.
