@nnandrei: I already bought an Upswing course in the past and it was basically just me paying several hundred dollars to watch some Eastern European guy with a strong accent plug some high stakes hands into PioSolver and not really explain it properly.
Poker Detox was a little bit better because at least it went into the mental game and I found Nick Howard way easier to understand, but I still don't think it was worth the money, especially on such a limited bankroll and with all the free videos available on YouTube.

Thanks man! I appreciate your support
Yeah I considered 5betting pre. I'm still not sure what the best play is. Probably if it was SB vs BTN I would've 5bet jammed to avoid playing OOP.

All the key features of the hand are correct. I might've just rounded like $54.30 down to $54 or some tiny detail like that that doesn't affect anything.

Live poker is expensive though. I'd need at least a 5k roll to be comfortable grinding the $1/$3 games. I've tried taking shots but they didn't always work out so well.
Nitting up works to an extent, but there is such a thing as being too nitty. You sometimes have to make risky thin value bets instead of checking behind. You sometimes need to bluff catch. And so on.

I didn't think he would barrel in to me with his bluffs, at least not at any decent frequency. I thought he would just Cbet flop then shut down if called.
