Hey hey!
Back from Wales which was lovely, loads of beaches to take my puppy to which he absoloutely loved.
Also excited to continue playing, this time at 10NL!
First sessions went quite smoothly, which was before I left, and I think I may have been a bit rusty when I got back because the session yesterday was pretty atrocious (around the 3k hand mark on the graph). If I hadn't dropped my aggression so much after suffering some unlucky runouts the graph would've looked a lot nicer. Happens though.
Overall I haven't noticed too much of a difference at this stake, maybe slightly more aggression, and maybe slightly better hands at showdown, so I really need to keep making those tough laydowns.
Some other small changes this past 1.5 weeks - I've found GTOWizard and have been studying with that. The very first spot I studied baffled me which was as follows:
I was very confused as to why in this spot after a UTG open and BTN call, it is a pure check, even though we had a combo draw. I'm in a super helpful discord server and asked about it there, and after having BTN range advantage explained to me (and visualised through GTOWizard) it makes perfect sense now. This was such a good first hand to analyse, and it's really changed the way I think about flops now, really focusing on ranges rather than just the cards I have.
Other really small adjustments are lowering my RFI bet sizing to 2.5, as well as utilising smaller flop bet sizing than I usually would on certain textures. Beforehand I was basically only using 50% or 66%, never opting for 1/3rd pot which is ofc not great.
Final thing is just adjusting to the ranges from GTOWizard as I believe they're slightly different to Upswing, but that'll come in time, and they have a fancy tool to practice ranges anyways so that's great.
Overall, a good week, even though we're just barely above breakeven on the graph, we've learned a lot, have ways to continue improving, have unlocked stars monthly rb challenges, and am just quite excited to continue!
Hope you're all doing well
