Missed out to update in the last few days, got a bit serious into bowling and put quite a bit of time in that during my free time. Didn't do in-depth study and just did the bare minimum of reviewing my post-session hands but still managed to put in two 1-hour grind sessions per day. I want to start putting in more maybe 1-2 sessions more depending on how I feel for that day. I will increase slowly, before I would always do the max everytime I'm planning to do things and it never was consistent. Now, I'm just going to take small steps and be more relaxed with my approach. Poker is much more comparable to a marathon than a sprint. Just want to pace myself and be consistent.
Sleep wasn't that good though, averaging 5.5h per day. Could definitely improve on this by being more intentional with how I structure my night routine. From now on, I will try to schedule the every 4-6 hours per day. When I wake up, I plan my next 4-6 hours, after that, plan the next and so on until I finish my day. This way I could have total control of my time. I still have a bad habit of using my phone before bed time and I binged too much on bowling content in the last 3 days, now that's out of my system, I will be able to have a better night routine.
Today was quite a productive day, played three 1-1.5 hour sessions, practiced a bit of bowling after grind then did some in-depth studying
Initially I thought it was close and in game, it felt like this combo was a fold. It's actually an easy fold and we only continue around 40% of these single nut-suited AA. These AA should probably be quite connected. Something like AAQ54 single nut suit would make the cut.
Quite weird cold 4b by the reg there, only way it makes sense if maybe he had info vs the 3better than he's a spewy, otherwise, it's a bit of a punt facing this kind of action from two EP players.
Now, in my perspective, this is just an easy fold next time. Even if the 3better is out of line, most regs just cold 4bet AA here. We have to be sure that the reg has enough non-AA hands we dominate for us to start stacking off these weak AA. I think it will be a very specific dynamic where the 3better is just way out of line for AND the reg over adjusts by 4betting a very wide range as well. Also I have to keep in mind that 3-way the equities are much closer.
We actually ran into one of the best case scenarios here and we had close to 50% equity against this matchup, quite surprising.
Tomorrow's day outline
- Review what I studied in-depth today
- Grind 3-4 1 hour sessions
- Do errands after grinding
- Do in-depth study in the afternoon/evening
