Today Results

I promised the results of the day's 4 sessions, and I *think* I remembered how to play again. All it took was insta dropping $6k since Sunday, and then peppering my entire screen with post-it notes "do's" and "don'ts".

I've still got a little way to go, I thought I was just about there until this hand in the last session:

The flop I don't mind obviously, I think flatting is more optimal when IP, but OOP I have to negate the positional advantage and look to get it in there and then. Once he flats the 3bet though I'm in god awful shape and the 'fuck it arrrr in' shove had me feeling pretty ashamed........ I guess he might fold a raw higher flush draw, but still on that particular card I need to be looking to make a somewhat classy check fold.

In more positive news, I'm reading hands left right and centre..... it's basically a mindset thing for me, it needs no tilt and constant concentration on the 3 aspects of hand reading I outlined a few blogs ago. I've made some pretty big calls and big folds on the back of the PF assumptions, the betsizing of the opponent, and my perceived range:
