That session has been an epitome of this month. Despite the results, pretty pleased with how I've played this week compared to me just clicking buttons the first two weeks, definitely playing pretty strong.
This is a good quote that I've had pop in my mind while playing.
"Everyone will eventually run worse than they thought was possible. The difference between a winner and a loser is the latter thinks he doesn't deserve it."
"
I think it's very important to keep me sharp and despite me running not well, I've made tons of mistake that have cost me money. I think it's very important to be mindful of this and not just blame "variance".
Anyway, month still very toasty, about 4.5k under EV, but my volume should be on pace for a healthy 65-70k hands and I have live stops planned for the next 3 consecutive months.
Some fun hands:
1.) Slightly unusual line against reg who plays 2k. *Sidenote I haven't played enough with the regulars at the stake to get a super good read on who's very good and who's meh

5.) Pretty interesting hand against reg where I made big river mistake. Pre is standard, flop also standard though I could raise at some frequency. On turn, some alarm bells go off, 8x stronger for my range but given his flop sizing he will have a ton of 8x as well, obviously never folding though. River brings 3 of a kind on boards and I think his check is good for sure and I'd assume he's checking his whole range here, even his quads. Decided to jam to hope for a hero from the middle pairs that thought I bricked the draws but really never getting heroed here often so kinda just donated $300 :/
