H1; I would just fold turn vs a 10/4 guy with that sizing, and yeah definitely folding river. Flop check/call is a good start to let him stab air/worse, but nitregs do not follow up barreling air often if at all, so his valuerange obv now got you dominated or chopping at turn.
H2; pre is ok, villain dependent but think I would flat more often than 4betting this hand deep. 4bet size is too small, and flop size is a bit weird with the SPR we’re getting on turn, I’d go smaller on flop and barrel cards that picks up equity, diamonds/A/Q/J/4/2. Not sure when board pairs and we have 1.5x SPR, its prob just a check and try to get to showdown? x/r jamming turn obv folds out his stabs but readless I wouldn’t do this, I don’t think the population has many stabs when they call 4b/call flop on boards like this.
H5; fold turn/snapfold river, wouldn’t be criminal to even nitfold flop imo, we’re OOP and it’s gonna be difficult getting to showdown without putting the rest of the chips into the pot, which when happens we’re always going to be in terrible shape vs a 19/14 or 25z population in general.
H7; so this is definitely a case of being too greedy Don’t know what kind of station this guy is, but If we think villains range is something like 9x/8x/76/JT/QJ/QT. Whereas he doesn’t have 99/88 (probably raises flop/turn), 2x (raises or donks turn), Ax (with no FD’s possible it’s highly unlikely he just xc xc with A hi). Since he doesn’t have the mentioned hands he could be calling a 3x pot jam with, we definitely want to try and exploit him by betting a size that 9x/8x combos call river or bluffraises with his missed draws. Keep in mind that an Ace hitting the river should decrease his calling frequency pretty often, so if we are playing an exploitable game plan vs a recreational, we miss so much value by 3x potting that river.
Just a quick update. Did a little grind last 3 days with the leftovers I had on my BR @10nl. Dipped at some full ring aswell and I actually find it quite enjoyable and relaxing. Might play more FR in the future.

I don't know how FR is going in these days, but stacking off AJ is bad, even vs someone who flatted and raised, in the best case scenario you will be flipping.
Vs nits it's fine even to never 3-bet AK pre.
That other AJ hand it's a call or fold OTR, you will never get called by worse and won't fold better, for me, folding the river is better, specially on a multiway pot with 4 people.
just as an example of how nitty you should be in nitring(in those nitty stakes ofc), if you're in a 4-way pot with 33, board is 358r, you check from the SB, UTG cbets, MP raises him, you will be better off by folding(if both are nit regs with 12-14vpip), now if another player overcalls or 3-bets, then it's the easiest fold in the universe.
A good strategy is to 3-bet aggressivelly vs nits when they're not in the first 2 positions(vs that range you should only 3-bet AA/KK even IP), and flat QQ/AK/PPs, setmine pretty hard, steal a lot, but never stacking off vs another reg with less than a set, you are better off even by flatting 2-pair OTF and flatting it for 3 streets rather than raising.
Semi-bluffing is king. vs them, but I would do it only 2 streets max, if villain don't fold by the turn, they will rarely do it OTR, so you only bet the river if you get your draw. But most people fold a lot to turn raises, the better nits always pot control by going in a bet-check-bet line with their big pairs/TPTK, so you can easily fold to the river bet with marginal hands, this line is almost always a way nits use to not get stacked easily when they have an overpair and get the most value they can get with their image.
obviously the AJ OTR was a bluff, but the bluff is atrocious as I don't even block diamonds x)
why bluffing? villain has a flush a lot of the time there lol
it's bad to bluff people when they are repping a very strong range,
unless you think they're bluffing by repping that range,
then you should call.
H6 Idk how I called here but I did
I was thinking that he would bet all of his strong hands OTF including flushdraws. OTT I call, pretty std. When he bets OTR 1/2 it looks pretty bluffy to me as aces would bet flop, I block QQ, and he doesn't have that many Ks and Js at all with As blocker and didn't think he would play 78s like this. If he does then this call is atrocious. I also think that he would bet TJss OTF etc.
The 5 BI downswing happened because I was playing 4 tables while being up for more than 24 hours lol. Just did a small sess and got almost nice restucko. Hands will follow later, im exhausted.
Also going to try to reg for sunday million $215 via $2,20+R tourneys. They are redic soft and I think I can still be +EV in the sunday million as I will be one tabling it obviously. If I won't manage to reg for the $215 via sats (will fire about 50 BI's at $2,2+R tourneys), I will try to sell shares per 2,5% and play when atleast 30% is sold and ********** it via twitch (with no MU obvs).
On h4, make it bigger OTF, just close to pot, board is drawy and a lot of cards will kill the action, jam the turn.
on h5 just fold pre, fish don't fold to 3-bets and post-flop, and you're not happy in getting it in with a3s, right? if BB is straightforward, you can flat, but folding is fine IMO.

5 BI swings are normal for a day's session, it can be only normal variance doing its thing lol
fold, fold, fold, BTN raises to 2 BB, fold, Hero raises to 6 BB, BTN raises to 19 BB, Hero raises to 108.4 BB and is all-in, BTN calls 84.36 BB and is all-in
Flop:(207.12 BB, 2 players) 7 J J
Turn:(207.12 BB, 2 players) A
River:(207.12 BB, 2 players) 8 Players agreed to run it twice.
hand was fine, the good thing about check-calling is that you induce more bluffs and you're not afraid of many rivers, so it's the best play.
Also you don't need to have balanced check-calling ranges, specially in a huge pool like NL10 ZOOM, played there for 10k hands with 35% re-steal and people were folding a lot lol
Just as a reminder to everyone, this isn't BBV, there is a zero tolerance policy on insults and trolling in this forum.
And I'll add for those who don't know - that's when they're reported. Mods are unlikely to see posts that aren't.
And one more note - while I know the trolls can be frustrating and it's hard to ignore them when they call you out/insult you, it sucks to come into a thread to deal with an obvious troll and then also have to clean up a bunch of replies.
check the turn
the bad thing of valuebetting on those spots is that if the guy has the same hand, you will lose a lot to rake, so mini-betting is fine.
Also jamming Ax in that river is the worst move, with Ax betting 50% is fine. Sadly some ******s just jam the river, just adding more to be raked.
If you have Ax in that spot and villain bets, calling>jamming, unless villain is a fish and may call with a PP thinking he has a fullhouse lol
