Thank you friend.
New update, I've been grinding quite a bit for the past few days and I have realized I've gotten into a mindset trap where I just want to play extremely soft games without studying that much. This went on for a few weeks. While this approach can lead to a very high EV, the problem is that you won't have much volume. Also another problem I've dealt with is my winrate will get worse overtime. A 10/20 table with 4 regs and 1 whale will yield me a much lower EV compared to a 2/4 table with 4 regs and 1 whale just because the average skill level of regs in higher stakes is much better compared to the lower stakes.
I think moving forward, I will want to revert back to a more study-than-grind approach for the first month or two just to get the GTO heuristics down to an above-average level. I will tackle the most common spots in no particular order
FORMATIONS:
1. BTN vs BB SRP / EP vs BB SRP
2. CO vs BTN SRP / EP vs BTN SRP
3. SB vs BTN 3BP / SB vs EP 3BP
4. BTN vs CO 3BP / BTN vs EP 3BP
5. 4 bet pots in general
These will be my main focus for the next 1-2 months depending on how fast I get through these topics. This has worked out for me before when I studied a new game where I put in 4-5 hours of study each day and only play 1-2 hours per day. Eventually, the more I get confident, the more I will shift more hours from study to grinding depending on my progress.
