H1: I cbet my entire range in 3bet HU pots for simplicity. It actually works quite well as an overall strategy.
H3: I felt like AJ makes a better call than JT.
H5: Yeah either x/c or b/f flop would've been better than a x/r. I'll admit that I made a mistake here.
H6: Really? You prefer a x/c to either a double barrel or a x/r?

Just live I've only put in 23 hours in the past 7 days... definitely not as many as I'd hoped for. But I did put in a decent amount of volume at 25nl online too.
Short session was just a mental thing. I started obsessing way too much over how much I was winning/losing that session and I knew I was in a bad mindset. Plus the game was mediocre anyway.

Different casinos have different jackpots. Crown Melbourne has a "royal flush jackpot" where you need to
flop a royal flush in order to win the jackpot, which is usually around $30k, but can vary between $2500 and $150k.
Since you have about a 1 in 20,000 chance of hitting the jackpot when you're holding 2 suited broadways in your hand, then the EV of seeing a flop is quite low ($1.50 in EV if jackpot is $30k), but people are known to cold call 3bets with hands like QTs, just because they want to win.

Sometimes. I definitely express way more emotions behind a laptop, whereas I try to be more stoic in a live atmosphere.

Yeah I recognise this and I'm trying to fix it.

The best time to semibluff is when all 3 things happen:
1) You have a hand with a decent amount of equity against your opponent's range.
2) Your hand doesn't have much showdown value though, unless it improves.
3) You have a range advantage and can credibly rep strong hands.
I felt like JTdd in this spot fits the bill here.

That's the nature of a semibluff: you want some better hands to fold, at least some portion of the time.

Yeah this is the danger of swings... makes me too complacent. Seeing my November profit as $8471 makes me feel like I can afford a break. But I need to cut this mentality out. I need to grind as if I'll be broke tomorrow if I don't put in the hours today.
