Just finished the first session here, unfortunately I do not have graph available as My Hud wasnt properly tracking my opponents stats in zoom.
Overall think I played well, finished the session up, I tried to play couple $5 spin and gos and accidentally bought in for $50 spin and go on my first try, i hit 10x and the prize was 500. not sure why but maybe since its 10x the first gets 400 the second gets 100. I luckily had some run good there and finish with first, really great for the br.
I wasn't really sure how to deviate from my strategies with stars new ante games at NL 25, should probably adjust my sizing there.
I took a shot playing 50NL and the game was quite soft, much to my surprise really.
There was an interesting hand that happened today and I made a sick hero, share with yall below.

I L pre because we're both considered quite deep at this reg table. When the flop came it was really great for my range, Im gonna have all the sets, JTs, etc. In real I have two overs and a gutshot unblocking any club draw, I think this is a great candidate to go for a xr on the flop. So I did, big too. With the raise I expect players at this level to call with almost all the overpairs, 3b with AA, and trap with AA with a c.
To my surprise tho, villain 3b the flop, I decided to proceed with a call and reevaluate the turn, I made tp on the turn which is good but still need to proceed carefully.
He now bets for hp, slightly more than his 3b size on the flop. This feels very fishy to me, if he had exactly JTcc then I'd approve this size but besides that I dont think any set would bet for this size, JTo should bet bigger as well cause I do have some huge draw in my range as well that could call bigger, if he did have JTo, he should always bet huge because all my sets and draws would be forced to call to try to improve on future street.
I decided to call and see a river. River was another 8, all draws bricked. I checked and he Jams, I see some AA Jam here sometimes, but barely especially at this stake, most players would go for block to get called by a Q. It smells like a bet tryna generate some folds.
I ended up heroing.
The reason for my hero was, I block top boat, unblock all clubs, when he 3 bet i dont ever ever think he could have bottom 2 pair. Maybe set of 77 with a club that requires less protection?
And at this stake player makes a lot of mistake on bluffing where there river bluff jam way more often than river value Jam. Given all those reasons I called.
And sure enough he shows KTc BABY! Its good to be right hehe
Really appreciate anyone who's read this far. I will continue to update soon!
