Solver would've probably checked the turn, especially with K
and I just didn't have an exploitative reason to deviate.
Are you saying that the rec will call a turn shove more than MDF and not bet often enough vs a check? It's possible, I just didn't have a solid reason/MDA data to think so.
It seems completely plausible to me that he'd float the flop with air vs the small bet and then bluff jam the turn. Or thin value shove low pairs to protect vs ~AK.
I honestly am not sure what the optimal line is, but am open to opinions.
What do you think about checking the river with KK? Could that be a thing?

I wouldn't have included j7o in his range though, so there is that.
The more he bluffs or jams his pp when x to the more reasonable it is to x turn, but I'd imagine turn x freq here is quite high personally. 18bb 3b pre was pretty large and turn is ~1spr.

They also don't raise enough, which makes it even more of a range bet.

Challenge progress: 76k/100k
I didn't have time to play a lot of poker this month due to various wedding preparations, birthdays and practices for the first dance. My goal for June is to play 50k+ hands and make at least 2k profit from poker.
I ended up buying a 1000€ suit. There were probably cheaper options, but I liked this one:

June 2024:
Challenge progress: 77.1k/100k
Nothing super special happened this month poker-wise. Played medium volume and coached a bit.
I'll give myself an arbitrary goal to play 40k+ hands in July, even though I'll spend 1-2 weeks on a vacation, so it might not happen.

Challenge progress: 77.8k/100k
Didn't play much recently due to a bunch of IRL stuff.
Next month my goal will be to play 30k hands in the 1st half. Afterwards I'll have a 2 week honeymoon vacation.
If anyone wants to discuss some hands:

Challenge progress: 78.7k/100k
My volume has been pretty awful lately, partially because of the wedding stuff, but also due to my sheer laziness.
The last time that I had a 40k+ hand month was back in March, so I'm setting that as my goal for November. If I don't reach 40k hands, I'll send €50 to one of the last five people who post here as a penalty.
I set this rule to limit my procrastination, as I happen to be more greedy than I am lazy.
Some hands:
Yeah, it's a bigger difference for couples that didn't already live together before the marriage.
I'm both terrified and excited about having kids. The lifestyle change will be huge, but surely worth it.
Here are two pics:

We were probably both pretty far from solver approved 
Yeah, I tanked for really long. Was close to folding, but there's legit only one combo that beats me there. I convinced myself that he might have ~AxJc.
I've been making around $32/hr this year. At this hourly it'll take me around 353 hours to finish the challenge.

Hey ZKesic, sorry if you already answered this and I am just being repetitive, but is poker still your main source of income? If yes, will you still play for a living after reaching 100k? Finally, I just realized the title, and your goal, was to make 100k playing 20nl, and you're playing higher. That's cheating my friend

Even after reaching the 100k profit goal, I plan to keep playing. There's no reason to stop
I made the first ~40k profit playing exclusively at 20nl. Eventually, as the speed games on iPoker died off, I transitioned to 50nl.
While it may feel like a slight "cheat," my hourly rate is better at 50nl, so it just makes sense to finish the challenge there.

I've been wondering about these spots:
Hold'em No Limit - €0.25/€0.50 - 5 players
Replay this hand on Pokeit
UTG (Hero): €41.44 (83 bb)
CO: €57.39 (115 bb)
BU: €17.43 (35 bb)
SB: €50.00 (100 bb)
BB: €45.00 (90 bb)
Pre-Flop: (€0.75) Hero is UTG with Q
J
Hero raises to €1.10, CO 3-bets to €3.70, 2 players fold, BB calls €3.20, Hero 4-bets to €41.44 (all-in), 2 players fold
Total pot: €11.35 (Rake: €0)
UTG (Hero) wins €11.35
-----------------------------------------------------
I've been completely improvising in them, but don't actually have a good strategy rn.
There were times when I got really burnt.
My logic for shoving hands like QJs are mainly:
Reg isn't gonna call with AQ, which is good for us as we have more equity vs AK.
If fish calls our shove he will mostly have low pocket pairs. This is why I think QJs > A5s / 66.
But then again, the best play might just be to call. It's really hard to decide at this stack depth.
You can apply the same question to 100bb stacks.
What do you guys think?
