November Session 3

Hard to quantify this session, on the one hand while playing it I felt I was doing ok, on the other hand absolutely nothing came off.

Knowing how I'm perceived at the moment is a problem. On the one hand my image should be muck, on the other my cbet % is pretty low and I should be getting more respect.

In this hand I make a fairly rare decision to triple barrel with zero equity. Reasons obviously that AK, QQ, JJ and usually TT 3bet, only 2 combos of QJs and the 2 combos of JTs may find a fold. As I say though, nothing came off.

I don't think I did too much wrong. One thing I would say is that I wished I trusted my spider instincts more..... on the river especially my conscious brain is saying 'scary board, scary river, bluff!' whereas my *blink* is saying nah don't try this. My blink always wins.

It begged me to give up the river here.........

All in all, I give the session performance 6.5/10.

Goals this session are to win those 200bb pots, be positionally aware, and to keep pots small unless planning to always win them.
