This hand I took a stab to try and get overcards to fold and was looking to check fold after he calls my bet, luckily I was
ahead and took it down.

Maybe it's my style but I'm definately 3betting less against UTG opens.

QQ definately 4bet/gii bu vs bb

76 hand worked this time but it should be a -ev play against his whole range

T9 I'd fold against a cold4bet squeeze at these stakes

K7 I'd fold the turn multiway, nice bluff on the river but not sure if it's a profitable bluff in the long run

Just my 2 cents, gl!

76s I call utg open on the BTN 25%, Raise 25% and fold 50%, I'm using a randomizer,
that time it come up 3bet so I did, T9s call co open 50% 3bet 50% the cold 4bet
squeeze it came from the BB so I should have folded , K7s I agree,
won't probably work in the long run, was tilting slightly. Appreciate any feedback thanks.

Ok cool! I've only recently seen a video of someone using a randomizer so that's new for me, might start to look into that as well

I've done a similar challenge about 10 years ago. It can be done and I'll bet you'll do this one too.

A few things I'd suggest that helped me along the way. I haven't played poker for some time(since black Friday). IDK if HUDs are allowed or not. But if they are I'd suggest using the HUD stats over a randomized die. EG if you 3bet 76s sometimes I'd do it when the villains fold to 3bet is high.

Another thing is I'd post your HHs on this forum where HHs are posted not in this thread(although you could post here too). I just think they would get a lot more attention there. I did that and tried to post 2 per session I think. I would mark hands in my tracker when I got into spots I was confused. This happened a lot. After going over these hands I'd see where in the hand I went wrong(calling too wide, playing OOP, 3betting weak hands etc.). Anyway marking spots I got lost and posting them helped a ton.

I would also try to have a study session once a week. In this session I would review all the hands I had on certain regs I would play with. I'd start with regs I had the most HHs with and go down the list. I'd just watch all the hands(paying close attention to what they were showing down on the river and the lines they took to get there) and see if I pick up any bet size tells, what ranges the play. Anything that may help you play better vs them. Make notes of this and add them to play notes at the tables.

Also taking notes on players in game was key as well. This will also be a skill that will pay off as you move up in stakes.

IDK what starting range you are using but I try to review in the tracker too. See if you seem to be following it or are you still playing too loose or tight in certain positions. And if this is + or -EV.

These are the things that helped me the most as far as I can remember. Good luck.
