Success

Relatively speaking of course. I'll just post some hands with results and hopefully it shows that I'm playing better...... I'm going to be making 4-5 of these posts a day for the forseeable and it's a big ask keeping up....

Hand 1: Probably more interesting if the turn's an offsuit deuce or something, in which case I check call turn or check- bet river.....

Last hand- and yes there's probably 3/4 streets you can label slightly spewy. On the river, I'm sure villain A (first to act after me) doesn't have a Q once he doesnt raise flop or shove turn with a small PSR, and in any case he has another player to worry about. DavidJWill meanwhile would I'm sure have shoved a Q on the turn or shoved the turn. Now HU I might have the best hand sometimes, but while one probably has an OESD the other surely has a J that will fold.

Flop lead?

Day 2, Session Review

I met my session goals pretty well...... I'm going to add a new one, and that is to play creatively wherever possible. That was the theme of this session, and of subsequent sessions today.

Hand 1: Boring Hand- I didn't give it too much thought at the time, but I feel like I should either be betting smaller on the turn to get away on the river, or jamming the turn? Plumping for in between yields this river conumdrum. What would you do on the turn?

Hand 2: More interesting: I think Ike specifically is never folding an Ace on the flop, and BTN vs BB a) I should get less credit b)his range includes all Ax of which more are weaker than my own and of which none fold ever. I don't know if he'd bet call some T on the flop, but probably. The turn is my gin card obv given there are less AQs and now and doesn't complete any fullHs. River shove mandatory?

Hand 3: Also interestingish.

Like, I could check this, but checking it means calling down 3 streets of which I'd be unsure, and there's a ton of value from pairs+oesds etc. We're deep, OOP, so is this a Dodgy special bet fold?

Session goals:

Leave pots in which I have no equity alone when I've invested 3BBs.
Be much more aware of regular's betsizing on all streets and what it means.
Always play IP, if OOP then have a plan to CR x amount of flops.
Play creatively!
