                                                I wrote a reply talking about all of those hands and then for some reason 2+2 logged me out and I lost the post fml.

                                                Anyway the important thing from it is why are you always doing 3x raises when villain bets into you regardless of what the pot is? Lots of those hands are pretty spewy too fwiw.

                                                I find 3x is a good standard size, I do deviate from it depending on V and spr. If you use too many sizes how are you going to blance each one?

                                                Two scenarios, in both the pot is $100.

                                                1 - Villain bets $50, hero raises to $150
                                                2 - Villain bets $80, hero raises to $240

                                                These are not the same thing and wouldn't be balanced the same not that it's important to be doing that to begin with. I suggest you spend some time looking up pot odds and equity.

                                                Very Late July Update

                                                So never updated on 30k hand challenge, got pretty tilted towards the end something I thought that I had got past in my mental game but clearly not. Tilted off a stack at 16nl and was all pretty down hill from there. I know I could have finished but was not playing close to my A game and was just 4 tabling to try and hit the goal. Wasnt having fun or playing good so didnt see the point in finishing. Was happy I did this however learnt a fair bit about my game and think it helped me improve on a few spots. Overall not too sad.

                                                On the bright side had a home game last week and it was pretty good. £200 buy-in 1/2 mix game that was a lot of fun and had a lot of action. 5k+ on the table. Sports bets between hands. Wish this game ran more often. Was up about 300-400 at one point in the night but lost a pretty big plo hand about 600 pot. In for 200 out for 325, +125 so not too bad at all.

                                                Had to reset my phone so lost my poker tracker for live.

                                                I have only been using it for this year

                                                I remember results roughly after logging this session and it was about:

                                                Live update

                                                Went and played at the Vic yesterday with a friend. Started of playing the 37 donkument as he not played in a while so didn't want to play cash. We traded 25% of our action. I went out in the first half hour getting all in with AQ vs AJ, with a lot of dead money in there. J on the flip. He came third taking 216 so I got 54. Played 1/1 and a different friend who was not there had half my action. Got loads of hands in first half hour and got up to 270 from 200. Was all down hill from there as we was hand dead and just getting bad boards or run outs. Cashed out for 187.5 being that the session was pretty bad I'm happy with results. So small profit for the day all things considered.

                                                Online NL
                                                Going to focus on playing 20/25NL reg tables just bum hunting soft games mainly on ipoker and party, might think about 888 but im not a big fan of the software so depends what sort of action I can get on these two for now.

                                                Online PLO
                                                Been playing more PLO on Uni bet only 4PLO as im very weak at this game but want to focus on getting better and the rake at Unibet PLO is amazing and games seem pretty soft; dont plan on moving up for quite a while.

                                                Live NL
                                                Played a few 1/1 sessions at the Vic and going to be adding this in on weekends when I am free and feel like playing. Games are very soft but rake is very high so would like to be able to move upto 1/2 as soon as possible but this will probably be a while due to very low volume.
