Hey everyone,
Feeling pretty good about poker. Just started taking the game super seriously when I started this thread in July and now holding my own vs 5/10+ live skill level (ime) regs. Feels good. Just getting started, but it's a nice feeling. And I've put in a ton of hours since starting this thread. Some hands...
HH1: 200NL- 4bet bluff doesn't get through
$235 effective. Main V’s session stats, according to the app: 20-32% VPIP, PFR >15, and running normal. Good, aggressive, reg. Has about $600 in front.
OTTH
Pre-flop: Folds to Hero in the SB. Hero RFI $6 SB with A
10
Main V 3-bets BB $18. Hero 4-bets SB $50. BB jams. Hero folds.
HH2: 200NL- Misplaying overs in a 3-bet pot
$255 effective. Same V from previous hand at a different table. Good, aggressive, reg.
OTTH
Pre-flop: Main V RFI $5 MP. SB calls. Hero 3-bets SB $22 with K
10
. MP calls.
Flop ($46): 8
3
2
. Hero c-bets $17. V calls.
Turn ($80): 8
3
2
6
. Checks through.
River ($80): 8
3

6
K
. Hero checks. V bets $120. Hero folds.
Probably got owned there by A
Q
or something.
HH3: 200NL- 4-bet semi-bluffing flop
$220 effective. Main V’s session stats, according to the app: 20-32% VPIP, PFR >15, and running normal. Seems like a reg. Button-clicky type probably. No significant reads.
SB is a weaker player who covers.
OTTH
Pre-flop: Main V RFI $5 BTN. SB calls. Hero calls BB with Q
8
.
Flop ($15): Q
7
4
. SB checks. Hero checks. BTN bets $7.50. SB folds. Hero x/r to $27. V clicks it back to $55. Hero jams. V folds.
I was trying to get better to fold here, given that V probably clicked it back to 3-bet/fold flop. Thoughts on flop play? Probably a punt sometimes.
HH4: 200NL- What are you doing on the turn here?
$200 effective. Main V’s session stats, according to the app: 20-32% VPIP, PFR <15, and running normal.

Turn ($69): A

On another note, I want to start logging my hours again. I stopped doing this for some reason. I think I'll go back to it. I just estimated at the end of each day. This helps me be accountable and is a way for me to partially audit my time as well. More != better, of course. Working both smart and hard
