First Session Back Results + Analysis

Getting back into the groove with a 200nl session on AP, 1254 hands and $445 in winnings.

Of this, I was up in terms of pure coolers/ suckouts at around net $200. The situations were certainly reciprocal neutral EV spots though, regardless of whether I was technically behind in both, ie AK on AK2 vs 22, and AT on AT9 vs 99 where I sucked out.

I was 0/3 on shoves that I thought would work:

I don't hate any VS the right opponents, but my big mistake in hands 1 and 2 was just not knowing anything about the guys other than they had somewhat loose stats over 50 hands or so. Hand 3 I'd been 3betting him to high heaven and I'm fine flatting that small 4bet. So, lessons learned here: know your opponent.

I've been bluff catching Ax more often in 3bet pots VS bad opponents:

Lastly, another example of not knowing my opponent enough beyond somewhat fishy and doesn't raise much, and I think I got away lightly with this. For next session, I'm going to be hammering home to myself that I really need to know much more about opponents before getting out of line.....
