I think the flop is kind of cool, like a multipurpose bet to get Ike to fold a ton of stuff this deep OOP (all lower pairs, possibly even TT etc), while seizing the initiative VS the fish who has either some weak draw or a pair 9 or lower, of which there are many more combos of 55-88.

The board ran out good for me obviously with the 3 pairing, and then the T coming on the river meaning in the classical obvious bluff catching spots that the fish never value bets a 9 here so has like T9 or air.

On the flop, I CR and he snap called. Now, of course some guys will snap a Q here, but on the whole it means to me draw or some air looking to float, basically weakness. On the turn, obv my flush is going to be no good VS a double paired board, but I elect to call down based on something about his turn sizing and timing. River is good only in the sense that it doesn't change the board, but I'm obv calling any card........

My session goals were all good:

•Leave pots in which I have no equity alone when I've invested 3BBs- 10
•Be much more aware of regular's betsizing on all streets and what it means- 8
•Always play IP, if OOP then have a plan to CR x amount of flops- 9
•Play creatively- 8


I'm about to play a session, in terms of my daily goals:

Gym in morning (between 8-9am) - no because I've got footy in the afternoon
Whole wheat for breakfast - done
Tidy office - done
1 pint of protein shake in morning, 1 in afternoon - about to do
Take fish oil, vitamin b12, multi B vitamin - about to do
Blog immediately before session- comment on the light headedness.... is it there? - it's not there yet
Drink water all throughout day - doing
Wholewheat pasta in afternoon - pending
Session length of 35-60 minutes - pending
Have some competitive pride - pending
