Yeah of course. My hand looks a lot more nutted if I check/raise turn than if I check/raise flop. And on the chance he has a hand like he actually had, I'm more apt to get more money in by raising flop since he can still see two cards as opposed to one to hit his flush.

Once I call flop and turn bricks, a lot of the time unless he has a K it goes XX, we see a river with a $300 pot compared to a $500 or $600 pot.

Thanks man! Glad to see you're on the heater train too! I did get that 10er, now here's to hoping I get to 11, which would be my longest ever.

¡VAMOS!

Got to 11! This was not a session I should have won either. I got set over set again, but lost the minimum. I open 55 UTG+1 8 handed to $20, get 4 callers.

Flop ($100): Q95
SB checks. I bet $70. 1 fold, CO raises to $175. Has seemed like a mini VIP. 2 more folds. I think for a bit and take a PLO route and call. I can afford to call, see another card, and decide then as getting it in I'd be either way behind or slightly ahead (except for Q9).

Turn ($250): K
This was the card I was looking for. I check, he checks.

River ($250): 2
I think about 30 seconds about throwing a bet out. I decide against it due to combinatorics.

-2 of the 3 QQ combos have a diamond in it
-0 of 3 99 have a diamond
-3 of 9 Q9 has a diamond in it, but we're not sure whether they raise OTF or not

So I'm targeting like, 4 combos, and even then I'm not 100% sure he is folding. He could be slowplaying a hand like AQdd (which I did see him limp/call with preflop earlier).

I check. He checks and shows 99.

A bit earlier, there are two limps. I raise 88 to $25 in CO. Both call.

Flop ($80): K96
Limpers check, I check

Turn ($80): 7
UTG checks. HJ, a fairly active player who is stuck, bets $75. I think for a little and call. I may have the best hand, and I have some outs. UTG folds.

River ($230): A
HJ bets $125. I tank for a little bit. Like 45 seconds. He calls clock. I think for another 15 seconds and call. He mucks. Reasoning?

-He isn't betting a K OTR
-He could have 66 or 77. I discount 99 because he would raise with that preflop. Then again, JT makes sense because it turns a double gutter OTT
-The only Ax combo he is bluffing with is A8. Well, I block that. I don't think he's betting A9 OTT either.

Let's keep this win streak going! Going for #12 tomorrow!

Sick run man GL tomorrow.

Sadly, the run ended yesterday. I was fairly lucky to get to 11, there was almost no possible way I could have gotten 12. Yet I was a street away from 12. If only the guy doesn't call with 2nd pair no kicker on the river to a triple barrel, after he saw me an hour ago triple barrel top pair for value (and run into limped KK...don't know wtf that was).

Kind of sucks too, because I secretly told myself I was going to purchase a new Nintendo Switch if I got to 13 to surprise my gf with.

Now that that streak is over, the milestone I was looking for and didn't mention - a 10k month - is still in reach. However, I have to average my exact hourly rate the rest of the month to get it. Good luck the rest of the month to everyone!

Had a sneaking suspicion that was your milestone you weren't speaking of. :P GL bruz, hope you ship it. Would be a pretty nice start to things!

Would definitely be very nice! Yesterday definitely helped the cause for it. Thanks!

--------------------------------------------------

Last week I played about 39.5 total hours. I'm not going to lie, I cut short a couple of sessions just to book wins to extend my winning streak. But by cutting short, I'm talking like 15 minutes, not 5 hours.

I felt like I played fine this week. I only tried to force the issue twice this week. One was on Thursday, where I tried that bluff that was called down, and then last night I 3bet bluffed on the turn into flopped quads. I don't think it was necessarily a terrible spot, but we'll see what y'all think. We're 6 handed and I open A7 to $15 in CO. BTN, an unknown player, and BB, another unknown player, both call. My only read on BB is that he seems friendly with the 4 seat, who was also unknown but seemed very competent at the table.

Flop ($45): 8KK
Checks around. 3 handed at a 6 handed table, I'd check quite a lot with AK/KQ/KJ, and probably only bet worse K's, 88, pairs under the K, and some random bluffs.

Turn ($45): J
BB checks. I bet $20. Same line I'd take with stronger K's. BTN folds, BB raises to $40. Against a total, complete unknown, this is probably just a call. But given I saw his rapport with seat 4, I thought he may be competent enough to pull a move. So I 3bet, with the additional equity of the flush draw, to $85. It seems small, but if I had a K I'd make it small too. He thinks for a little bit and calls.

River ($215): 8
Well, that's a **** card. BB donk bets a stack of red. I fold rather quickly. He then flips over KK. By not 3betting, he actually got more than he should have.

I took a break at the 6 hour mark yesterday. I take small breaks at 2 hour intervals, walk around the casino, just get off of my ass. I'm -$4 for the day. I'm playing ok. Not A+, but certainly not C. Maybe a B game. I come back to the table. To my neighbors, I declare that I'm about to **** **** up.

The next hand, I double up with AA in a 3bet pot. I'd proceed to go from -$4 to +2BI in the final two hours. Makes it official. Next time you want to win, just declare to the table that you're about to **** **** up. It works.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also saw my future the last couple of nights. I've been saying this earlier in this thread, but the largest games locally are PLO. Eventually, that's where I will have to focus to maximize my winrate. I did play like 2 hours of PLO yesterday and made a bit. It's such a god awful boring game live though. To play optimally, you literally fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, pot-raise and fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, call in position pot pot fade the 13 outer, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold (you get the idea).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lifewise, everything is going well. One thing I have to get in control of is the studying aspect. Not going to lie, it's a bit difficult. I would ideally like to come home, eat dinner, and then study. But things don't usually work out that way, through no fault of my own. I do quite a bit of work in Snowie before my day begins, as well as going through and answering forum posts. Not sure how much studying that consists of. Either way, I have to do more so that I can be better than everyone in my player pool.

I've also got to get on top of the health insurance crap and what to do with my old 401k. I've been delaying it and delaying it, but I need it. I don't want to wind up penalized at the end of the year, and I also wouldn't mind free flu shots. With the 401k, I've got to do research on the difference between an IRA or just taking it as cash and attempting some other venture with the money. That's one of the few positives of my old work place. I paid nothing for health insurance, and they had an employer match to my 401k. All things considered, it only added about ~$6k/year to my comp package.

(If anyone can help me with IRA stuff, it'd be greatly appreciated!)

The $10k sweat is on it's last day (may play early tomorrow, but picking up my nephew for his birthday midway through the day - happy birthday!). Thought I'd share what happened to me on Wednesday. After the fact, I put all of these hands into Snowie for analysis and they said either choice is pretty much 0.00 EV.

No wonder I took so much time on them. Ummm.....they also occurred within 5 hands of each other in a 20-minute span. We'll see what y'all think.

First one, BTN straddles. BTN is a looser player, a tiny bit aggro and plays recreationally. A VIP limps, I raise KJ to $40 in CO. BTN calls and limper calls. We're about $460 effective going to the flop.

Flop ($127): J22
Limper checks. I bet to $75. BTN overbet jams. VIP folds. Ehhhhhhhhh???????

Does he really overbet jam a 2 here? Does he even have any 2s other than 22 and A2s? I block the JJ, maybe AJ? Maybe a spazz?


Second one, the very next hand I raise AT to $25 in HJ (meant to make it $20, but grabbed one too many reds). A sticky, trappy, aggro player calls OTB. He may be tilting, down a bit. We're $305 effective.

Flop ($57): T96
I bet $35, he calls.

Turn ($127): T
I bet $85, he calls again.

River ($297): 8
I couldn't handpick a worse card for us. I check, he jams for $185. Ehhhhhhh????????

Third one happened 2 or 3 hands later. I open KK to $20 UTG. BTN and Blinds call.

Flop ($80): 873
SB, the VIP limper from hand 1, donk bets $55. BB, a larger VIP, calls. I call (?) and BTN folds.

Turn ($245): T
SB bets $125, kind of quickly. BB folds. I call.

River ($490): 4
SB jams for $220. Ehhhhhhhhhhhh???

My problem in hand 3 is that he had donk bet prior. There is this weird fascination lately where a bunch of the weaker players have just started donk betting whenever they have any piece of the flop. It can't be good strategy wise. Anyways, his donk betting...if he has a pair of 8s, it's likely his kicker is somewhere around the 8. 86/87/98/T8. Maybe T9, but also maybe 65. Just a bunch of hands that can sneakily fit into the board.

Anyways, there is still equity in this $10k quest! Like...10% (I need a +$1,000 day) but if you told me I'd have 10% equity in a 10k month at the beginning, I'd kind of give a slight, hearty chuckle.

Think KJ we just have to call. Doubt he plays 2x this way or AJ that much. Looks very flush drawy. Hand 2 I fold river and hand 3 I think we can actually XPLO fold turn here.

GL with the $1k session!!!!

Hand 1: I did wind up calling. He had a slowplayed QQ? Seems really bad on his part to let it go 3 way with the ultimate great 3betting situation: a BTN straddle.

Hnad 2: I did fold. He let me see a card, and it was a Kd. Makes it very intriguing what his other card was.

Hand 3: Against this guy, and the strange donk betting that has been going on, I can see a fold turn or a call turn and river, but almost never call turn and fold a river like this card. I called turn and called river, he flipped over 98o.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately, I just couldn't get anything going Friday. Played in PLO for a little bit before going to 2/5. I think mixing this game in is going to be beneficial for me in the long run. As I said, the largest games are PLO. So I have to be comfortable playing PLO. Practicing now at 2/2 is almost necessary. Lost a big pot when I 3bet AcKsJc9s against a massive action player, cbet and called a small XRAI on a T86 flop where I had two BDFD. He had a naked 88xx.

The week was very frustrating for me for many reasons. The cards just didn't come. I didn't receive AK at all the final 2 days of the week. I also received texts from my gf twice during sessions that tilted me and kind of messed up my mind, but I guess that kind of thing happens.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overall, September was a great month for me. Best month ever results wise, and I am finally able to move back up to 2/5 because of it. I also paid myself for the first time. First month, all expenses were to be taken from savings. Second month, 1/2 from savings and 1/2 from poker roll. Third month (and on forward), all from poker.

Volume was fine, got in at least 40 every week but this final week, and there was a very good reason for that. One thing I'm not happy with is lack of study time. It is true that I go through forum strategy posts every morning, go over a few hands with Snowie, and play against Snowie for about 100 hands. But I don't think that is enough. That's going to be a big point of improvement in October. I have one more reading session in a book, and then I'll be able to start on something a bit more stimulating.

I also haven't been the best at working out. I feel like every morning, I'm half assing it just to get it done. I don't want to half ass anymore, and I want a bit of variety as well. One good point to note is that I've chosen salads once a week for lunch as opposed to utterly unhealthy casino food. There is a massive difference between the two as well. Whenever I eat the salad, I feel a lot more focused. When I eat the garbage, it settles and there's about an hour down period for me.

So, October. Historically, October has always been a great month for me results wise and life wise. I'm extremely optimistic heading into the month!

-Study More!!!!!!!!
-Get in at least 40 hours/week in volume (piece of cake)
-Don't half ass workouts
-Start looking into ways to diversify income with my poker roll

Good luck!

GL in October brussss

Thanks, you too meale!

Little late on updating for the week. Very busy weekend, to which I'm not a huge fan of. My perfect weekend would be just lounging on a chair and watching college football.

Anyways, last week was an up and down week. Results wise, it was a great week. I'm again on a $10k pace early in the month. I played a bit more PLO last week as well. I'm not a huge fan of the game. I never have been and I never will be. It is more boring and mundane to correctly play PLO than it is to correctly play Texas Hold Em. All of this to hopefully get into a bunch of 60/40s. But I get it, that's where a lot of the big money is at, so I have to learn to play it.

The down part? Thursday I built up a decent sized stack after hours and hours of card dead ness. And then it started trickling at a rate I wasn't entirely comfortable with. A lot of it was hands going like this:

I open 98 to $15 in CO. BTN, a older guy who doesn't seem to be competent, 3bets to $35. I call. Proceed to flop no equity of any kind.

Another non-competent old guy opens to $20 in SB to a BTN straddle. I flat AQo in CO. Old guy preceeds to triple barrel a dry Q-hi runout. I lose to QQ.

A lot of those spots where I don't want to get involved in the hand because I know I'm well behind or against a tight range, but I have to because of the ridiculous odds being laid.

I did win what may be my largest pot ever won on Friday. An overplayer limps in EP. Unknown, loose player raises to $15 OTB. I 3bet QJ to $50 in SB. The EP limper calls (wtf?) and BTN calls.

Flop ($155): KT8
I bet $85. EP folds. BTN tries to raise to $135. Dealer explains that he is committed for $170. He makes it so, and I call with the odds.

Turn ($495): 7
I check. BTN bets $175. My reads on BTN were that he was inexperienced and overvalued hands. I also remember some advice earlier this year where I turned a draw into a bluff getting the correct price. I won, but I shouldn't have done that. I call here instead of trying anything tricky.

River ($845): 9
Ummm. Bink. I know this guy has a strong hand, two pair minimum. I don't think he is great at reading board texture, and for a straightening board my hand is fairly disguised. I decide to go the exploitable route and just jam $740 into the pot. Against a thinking player, I just don't have bluffs here. And there really isn't a single hand I play this way, aside from maybe a combo or two of AA. He thinks for about 15 seconds before calling, and I scoop it up.

I left Friday night getting it in against a massive 2/2 PLO whale. I had 8347 on a 56K flop against his naked set. I counted like 24 outs. I whiffed. I left.

^^^^^^^^^^ That up there is something I have GOT TO work on. My mental state may not have been the greatest at the time because half an hour prior I received an absolutely tilting text message from my mother (my responsibility to stop what I'm doing to provide food for my brother's kids....it's a tilting mess of a situation), but I still shouldn't do that. That is straight up entitlement tilt. Just to pick up and walk away. There is no excuses for that. Every time I play, I've got to be my humble self.

I was able to leave my job because people looking for entertainment are willing to play poker with their (hopefully) disposable income. I may study more and put more hours in that they do, but I'm not entitled to their money. They play because they enjoy it and they can win from time to time, and that is necessary to have them keep playing.

--------------------

Goal wise, I did ok last week. There was more intensity when I worked out in the mornings, and I did read quite a bit of the new book that I'm reading. The hours were a bit short because of leaving early Thursday and Friday. But that's something that can easily be overcome.

I did take today off, only playing 4 days this week. Have to act as a chauffeur for my girlfriend while her car is in the shop. Kind of ironic that I take off the only day the last month that is too wet to golf . Oh well, lots of studying and online play today!

A hand I played last night that I wouldn't mind some feedback on. I think it's an interesting hand because of my image, his image, and the board. It's a hand where I think I know what's going on, but more opinions wouldn't be a bad thing.

About $1200 effective. CO limps. BTN, a presumable pro who raises his button 100% of the time, raises to $20. I see JT in SB and 3bet to $70. He calls.

About his image. He is very wide on the button. Astute in paying attention to what's going on. Possibly a former online grinder. In general, he's a good player.

About my image. I'm wider with my SB range in 3betting than anywhere else on the table. He may or may not know that. I'm generally viewed as fairly tight. I don't show down many bluffs but usually have some very nutted hands when I triple.

Flop ($150): QJ8
I bet $95. He calls at a decent pace.

Turn ($340): A
This is a great card for my range. It's an ok card for my actual hand. I bet $210. I think I may normally go a little larger here with a hand like AQ or JJ or AA or whatever. He thinks for a little bit and calls.

River ($760): Q
I bet $375. I'd use this sizing with AA/AQ/QJ/QQ. I'm not necessarily sure what I'm doing with T9s or KTs in this spot. Not sure about AK as well. AK may be a check. What am I trying to get to fold? Ax. AT/AJ/A9 are all in his range. He can very likely fold AK as well.

He jams for $300 more. I fold, and I purposely show the bluff. If I'm going to lose the pot, I'm going to at least enhance my image by showing that I am capable of a triple barrel bluff, so that next time those at the table don't automatically assume I have a nutted hand.

How's the line overall? And what is he shoving here that's taking this line? And to make matters more interesting, any boat or better he has would have qualified for a $1k high hand, but he didn't show.

And thinking about it further, I think I may ONLY have that hand and ATcc as triple barrel bluffs. Maybe KJcc. Everything else is a very nutted hand. But it doesn't make sense for him to jam because I'm more nutted than he is.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As for last week, it was a disappointing week volume wise. I knew I was playing maximum of 32 hours due to just taking 3 days off. I wound up taking an additional day of not playing, and then I only played 3 hours the next day because I was so tired from awful sleep that I couldn't keep my eyes open while playing.

Thankfully, I did play 11 1/2 hours Thursday and a little over 8 Friday. So it wasn't a complete waste of a week. And I'm ok taking a couple of days off. Since Fifa 18 came out, I hadn't really gotten a chance to fully explore it, and those days off allowed me to do that. I was also able to work a bit more extensively on preflop play. I'm also going through Zach Elwood's Reading Poker Tells book. It's amazing how accurately a lot of these tells are, and I'm only halfway through the book. Definitely recommend it.

When I'm done with that book, which should be in the next two weeks, I'm going to re-re-embark on Applications of No Limit. This will give me the advantage of a solid baseline of GTO, of which I don't necessarily see at 2/5, but I see better players more often, so I can use that to take advantage of what they're imbalanced on (such as raising BTN 100% of the time).

It'll also give me a good foundation to PLO. I keep saying that's where the big money is at. I bought a PLO book a few months ago that attempts a balanced approach to the game. That book is a few down the road though, and once my BR is a bit larger.

Re the hand, I think $80 pre as a minimum is good - generally 4x OOP is standard 100 deep, and this deep even bigger might be okay. But this is the wisdom for online Zoom games so obviously it's a little different live. Still think 4x is a good size but it's w/e if he's really wide.

Start with a flop check imo. Cbet isn't terrible but if we get raised, it's not the best spot to be in this deep. Turn I don't see a lot of point barreling. We've gone from a hand with a lot of equity to basically a bluff. River is a pretty bad card for us so I'd not be betting.

When he shoves it's like AQ pretty much. We block most of his bluffs so it's kinda weird he didn't show for the HH.

Sort it out mate! Get back on that grind! Gl

Interesting spot. I doubt villain is 100% over a limp (he shouldn't be) but either way I like your 3bet. I'd prefer a c/c on this flop. You have some showdown value and don't accomplish as much betting this FD than, say, A2cc or 67cc. it's also nice to have some flushes in a turn and river c/c range, since villain will prob be barreling aggressively. And he should: he can have all nutted hands except AA.

I don't think you're much more nutted than he is or that you should show the bluff.

TBH I didn't really think about a check flop call line, but it does seem to be better. There aren't cards I fear coming, and as has been alluded to it's nice to have some FDs in my checking range for when the flush does come.

AQ really seems to be the only hand he can have, other than some sort of bluff. Him just flatting turn would make sense because there is just so much out there that can beat him that turning it into a bluff catcher is fine.

I'm not sold that showing the bluff is a bad thing necessarily. And this is all about image against a player I'll play against for hundreds of hours. Most everyone sees me as some tighter player. If I'm going to bluff on the river and get shoved on, I might as well try to get something out of it. And that something is "damaging" my image by showing the triple barrel bluff. That way, it makes it a little easier for him to call next time I take a triple barrel value line instead of "he's always got it here."

Against a rec, probably not. They're not image conscious and they're not going to remember a specific hand. They're just going to see I don't play many hands and not care about that anyways. Against a reg...enter the meta game wars

Turbo-muck the river. A thinking player will know that you had nothing + you give him no info. Best of both worlds.

Have fun in the metagame wars

Yeah I'd definitely not be showing this hand.

An interesting week to say the least. I did get back on track and play 39.5 hours. I'm ok missing a few hours due to the beginning of the week.

The beginning of this week was absolutely brutal. I left early Monday because my gf left work early and there were literally 2 tables and no action. Meh. Tuesday and Wednesday, I could not win a pot to save my life. I faced many neutral or indifferent EV situations on Tuesday - at a 1/2 game! I felt gross being down a little over 3 BIs at 1/2 and was a bit frustrated, so I left.

Wednesday I got anal raped at 2/5. It started when I opened JJ, get one call, an aggressive player 3bets out of the blinds, I 4bet small hoping to induce a spazz from some of his bluffs. Sure enough, he spazzes. Unfortunately, he spazzed with AA.

A few hands after that, and after he 3bet/folds to a 4bet against another player, he opens to $20 in HJ. I 3bet with QQ to $65 OTB. He calls. We're about $500 effective to start the hand.

Flop ($130): K74
He checks, I check. Don't really see a reason to bet this flop?

Turn ($130): 6
He bets $80. Seems like a trivial call.

River ($290): 7
He now jams for about $350 with a few black chips. ???????????


After that hand, I go get lunch. I proceed to receive AA twice in 7 or so hands. First one, the BTN straddle calls the preflop raise and flops a straight on a 789xcc flop. Interestingly enough, I tried a check flop line with this hand. This is normally an awful flop for my BTN straddle opening raising range. Since I do play tighter with effective stacks being 1/2 as much. Because of the flop x back, I lose the minimum.

The second time, a $250 stack flops a set of jacks against me. Meh. Just said **** it and left early.

I looked at my records. I was at a 5 session losing streak. The last time I had a 5 session losing streak? For as bad as I ran the first half of this year, I never had one this year. I had to go back, and you readers will have to go back, to about the first couple of pages of this thread. March 2016, when I had about 30 hours of live experience total.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Thursday and Friday were oddities. I won both days. I was very happy with my play Thursday. I was able to make some thin value bets on boards where many players just wouldn't bet. I was able to make folds, and it was nice to get back to winning.

A troubling trend I did notice though, was both days I built up decent sized stacks. I'm talking like 400bb stacks. And both days, it felt like I trickled down and down and down. I don't know whether that's just variance, or whether there is some mental hurdle where I change my game up after being up early. That's something I'm going to look over this weekend.

And then today. I played today because of a massive promotion bringing in a ton of VIP players. And I'm glad I did. I had a massively profitable day, but I was also able to play 2/5 for almost 8 straight hours. That's good for me because I still get a little jittery playing the game. I think the jitters come from a mix of things. A month ago, my BR was in shot taking territory. It still feels like a shot even though I have close to the amount I started with when I went pro (in 1/2 BIs). And that's just time. That's me, putting the hours in, getting re-used to the game.

What a week to get sick. I was finally well enough to do some poker stuff yesterday, and then today I tried to go to the casino - leaving after 2 hours. The first two days I couldn't move out of bed. Thankfully, this is the first time I've been actually sick in three months. So expect almost no update for the week.

October was a month where anything that could have gone wrong, did go wrong....away from the poker felt. Results wise, I had an average month, averaging about $30/hr. Volume wise, I didn't have a great month. I played 112 total hours. But the entirety of last week (aside from Thursday, when I tried to play but just couldn't and left after an hour and a half) I was stuck bedside really unable to move. And then early in the month I chauffeured my girlfriend to and from work for a couple of days.

What was the biggest revelation I had this month?

1. Cbetting. I may have gotten into a lull where I would cbet less than I should, or less than I was maybe a year ago. I do wonder though, because a lot of these spots I could see go either way. For instance, 3-way I raise AK and the flop comes T75. I realize that, for my range vs their range, they're usually going to have the advantage. That plus the multiway factor of the flop lends me to want to just check back. And that may be too much of a "balanced" strategy when I don't need to be. Something I'm going to look into in the upcoming few months.

2. Get hours in. I don't care what game it is, the state of the poker room, etc. I feel like **** when I don't get hours in. I know a lot of it just wasn't my fault this month. But I have a specific hourly....fluctuating hourly. For each hour I'm there, that is my expected take. The more hours I play, the more I make.

(I am perfectly ok with leaving early if I've taken a few beats that may alter my mental state. I did that once this month.)

3. Everyone has leaks. My job is to pay attention to what they are, and how to exploit them.

4. PLO PLO PLO.

What will November hold? I do not anticipate being able to play a full schedule next month with Thanksgiving holiday and taking a trip down to Nashville on Friday (my girlfriend's brother's baby shower).

Actually, looking at the month I'm aiming to get about 150 hours of play in.
I also want to finish the book I'm reading, along with play 100 hands against Snowie every play day.

I will also take one day and play strictly MTTs on Ignition. There is a tournament series coming up at the end of the month/beginning of December, so I want to freshen up on some MTT skills and hopefully take something down.

Good luck with November everyone!

GL bro. Some thoughts:

- I think the AK is a pretty obvious check on that flop mw tbh
- fk PLO

Probably, yeah. I just feel like recently I've been lowering my flop cbet rate and trying to find some examples where I can and/or should be cbetting. Maybe it's correct to lower it in live poker, who knows.

Trust me, I would love to say **** PLO. I don't think I can afford to do that though if I want to maximize my hourly. It's a stupid game but the most money here in the midwest is going there. Gotta adapt.

Hero just came back from taking a quick 5 minute break. Buys the button. About a 550 stack. A verg aggro player, solid, opens to 20 in CO. Hero sees AA and pauses to think. Hero had been EXTREMELY card dead since the game opened, VPIPing only 3 hands the last 2 1/2 hours. Hero decides to set up aggro villain and flat.

Flop (40) 974
Hero checks. CO bets 30. Hero check raises to 105. CO jams for the rest. Hero snaps it off. We agree to run it twice. CO flips over KK.

First runout: K 4

Second runout: T Q

Villain proceeds to rack up an orbit and a half later (but to be fair, this Villain typically doesn't stay past 530 or so anyways).
