Something I need to do better ......

I'll start with things I have been doing better. Reviewing all hands post session, making notes, acting upon those notes during session.


Something I was doing very well a couple of months ago, inferring a general 'level' of the player based on other stuff. Things like obviously overshoving to look like draws, bet check bet lines that can simply never be bluffs, betting big in obvious bluff catching spots that again are simply always value. Overbetting obvious bluffcatcher spots that are, again, almost always value. So I guess I can already infer the general level of Mr 200nl, but there are plenty of exceptions.


Stackoffs today I wouldn't have made a few months ago when on fire with this stuff:

So I need to give this area a lot of concentration going forward. I know I'm good at inferring all sorts of stuff based on one or two seemingly irrelevant notes. It takes some thought though and that's what I'll give it.

Current Goals:

Time for every decision. Is the obvious option incorrect, or is there a third option?

Trust instincts.

Avoid reverse equity spots without reads.

Make notes in game, not just post session, and work on using inferred knowledge.
