First and foremost - this blog is gonna be hella boring and knowing the history of my other pgcs its not gonna last more than 2 weeks, but we'll see. Not gonna post any interesting life stories, probably not gonna talk much strategy either (if you play 200z+ and would like to talk strat feel free to PM me tho).
The main reason for creating this thread is to motivate myself. Ive been ridiculously lazy lately, taking my winrate for granted, which obviously resulted in the quality of my game slipping. My goal is to start studying again - in each update Im gonna sum up how many hours i studied since the last post and hopefully this can push me just a little to start working harder.
Cya and gl to me

Reason: Removed graph at OP's request.
Session went kind of well. Caught turboheat in the beginning, which made me play suboptimally for next couple hundred of hands. Took a break, came back fresh and played pretty well for the reminder of the session.
Preflop: Hero is BTN with Q Q
3 folds, Hero raises to $5.12, SB raises to $17.36, BB folds, Hero raises to $48, SB raises to $109, Hero raises to $252.72 and is all-in, SB calls $143.72
Flop: ($507.44) J 3 8 (2 players, 1 is all-in) Turn: ($507.44) T (2 players, 1 is all-in) River: ($507.44) 5 (2 players, 1 is all-in)
Spoiler:
Results: $507.44 pot ($2.75 rake)
Final Board: J 3 8 T 5
SB showed A T and lost (-$252.72 net)
Hero showed Q Q and won $504.69 ($251.97 net)
Why don't you like your sizing with kq in h1? Looks fine to me.
33%-50% is better for that spot with his range that wants to bet, with that sizing he can bet a wider range for thin value, if he has a 75% sizing he will have to balance 2 ranges for each sizing which complicates his game without much EV gain.
Hard to think of any brazilian with that graph, I remember playing a brazilian with "y" as the first letter in his sn, but not sure about the rest.

No, actually i wish I went way bigger. No offense man, but please keep your strategy posts out of this thread if you can - i have nothing against you, but you tend to come in a package with few annoying trolls I wish you all the best with reuilding your roll and moving back up tho!
Once again thanks everyone, really appreciate it.

And Im not brazillian.
No way you wish you went bigger with KQ when villain still had AK in his range, if you wanted to go bigger OTT you would prefer doing it with unpaired combo draws like QTdd and with a more polarized range for value, like AK+. Maybe if you were talking about sizing it a little bit up to like 75%-80% OTT with this specific hand. It makes 0 sense to play with a 75%-80% sizing + a 33%-50% sizing in that spot when you can simplify OTT and split your range OTR between a normal sizing and an overbet sizing unless you're exploiting villain.
Won't post more strat itt, good to see that even people that successful are afraid of seeing people discussing strat in the forums in 2018

1. Im not afraid of talking strat, Im afraid of you attracting mirage/mzbourg and other ******s
2. Thanks for telling me what Im thinking about the hand

This is wrong btw. His range polarizes relatively hard on that river and he has no shortage of bluffs and villain is likely having a relatively wide bluff catching range --- JX (AJ/QJ/JT) and QQ/TT.. Really doubt the average player's river range oop here is very strong whereas we have a lot of 2pairs/KQ/QTs type hands so river is quite good for us... And bluffs obv AQ/AT are already 20 possible combos.........
he did say he didn't like his sizing though and I can hardly see how much bigger we can go there, overbetting would probably be a slight mistake
75-100 seems solid imo. People really aren't protecting their checking ranges well oop in general so polarizing is maximizing ev and as I said we have no shortage of bluffs and plenty of value.
Anyways... sizing otr is like 67% here, not a huge problem.... but going 33-55% is not good
