500nl Session Review

Decent return to 500 earlier, felt much more comfortable than before I left, and was able to trust my instinct in a few decent spots.

This hand http://weaktight.com/6540608 was a major mental battle. On the one hand my instinct was screaming at me to call, and on the other was something saying 'don't be stupid, keep it simple at 500, don't have to play infinite 200 to get back to this point'. In the end I was able to step back, ask myself what my instinct was saying about the hand, and in the end clicked the right button. Hopefully, I wouldn't be going mad at myself had I been wrong. In terms of why, he was insanely wide PF, the flop stab seemed like an auto one, we block QTs and then I didn't think he'd value shove any Ax in his range.

http://weaktight.com/6540614 - just an example of being slightly unorthodox and it leading to good things. Fwiw, I thought there was zero chance he had a bluff when he CR'd the turn underbet.

http://weaktight.com/6540619 - same dude as above, and so likely just the kind of dude you have to call top x% of range VS when he's capable of being so wide and unorthodox.
