40K hands update:

Had the longest BE stretch in the last 20K hands. Not sure if there is any leak or change compared to the first 20K hands. Probably just poker variance. I am happy about the current win rate and let's see if we can keep up with it.

I think it's a fold. He might have some JdTd or 9dTd, other than that I'm not able to find any other combos. But, maybe you have some reads on your opponent?

I have played 25k only zoom on Stars hands in Nov so far, at almost 3bb/100 without doing any work/study/hand reviews.
Just wanted to play for a whole month to see where I am at.

Let me know

I would call if I have A of diamond. Vs random player, I guess folding might be the best.

Pretty bad night session, lost many big pots and 3 BIs in 1.2K hands.

H1:
Why blitz pool like 5bet raise AA? It's so annoying, you can just GII in with AA with 100bb effective.

I found usually when it is more than pot shoving, usually it is super nutted, at least in this pool.

He is not supposed to call my overbet with weak flush draw+gunshot, only calling nuts flush draw, strong flush draw + pair/oesd. Not sure if we want to bluff this combo or just give-up. Having 9 is better than J since we block both 69 and J9.

Bitcoin has surged above $18000. I started to accumulate bitcoin around $12000 and use it as my poker bankroll.
This is up about 50%, more profitable than playing poker.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am trying to mix some 100NL reg table and it is definitely much softer than 50NL blitz table. Also you need to pay attention to Villain stats and try to exploit your them as hard as possible.

Here are the results so far:

No reads. I try to play as GTO as possible at the moment. It should be probably a call in GTO.

I haven't been streaming much since I finished my bankroll challenge. I've been playing though.
