I wasn't going to log today, only played 200 hands and some fifty50 games and tourneys,
but I won 30 bucks burning my coins so I had to log it.
Spent 3hours building a popout for my HUD and found some really exploitable players, like really exploitable! I feel a little guilty sometimes but I suspect most players have HUDs now so I can't feel that badly about exploiting them.
Still studying and learning alot of new stuff, and still playing plo2 but I like it right now during this learning phase I'm in because 1)I have alot of stats on some regulars and I can learn to use my HUD more effectively 2)I'm very over rolled for plo2 so I can very comfortably apply new strategies, test new concepts and make cheap mistakes without worrying about the effect it has on my bankroll 3) my preflop 3bet problems are real.
I'm studying atleast 90% and playing only around 10%, but after this week I'm going to split my time more evenly between playing and studying. My game and thought process have advanced a ton locking it down though!
Few hands from today. Critiques welcome.

Flop: I think can go either way, but don't want to get c/r or build a big pot, not folding a Q and am doing very well against hands he wants to turn into a bluff on turn, so I think this plays alot better as a check.
Turn: Don't expect him to have a Q after checking flop and if he does I have plenty of outs anyway.
River: I think it would have been interesting had he bet bigger, he can definitely have some Tx but I would still call as he either has Tx or air.

Flop: Cbet because it's so dry and he's a weaker player, feel most players don't play back on these boards
Turn: Giving up, no equity in pot
River: I expected an A or 2pair to bet turn, block KK, QQ, so thought he would have alot of 4x and 8x hands I could fold out that he would otherwise checkback and win with.. Not sure about this though, and think I should bet abit smaller if I am bluffing this card since he's either folding/calling.
