Disclaimer as this is just a 40nl player's opinion 
I would fold pretty quickly I would think with AQ there. Not having any club sucks, you have quads and flushes/boats, etc. and like bbissick mentions, they likely won't find enough of those non-intuitive bluffs like the small pairs with a club. Very annoying to improve to a strong hand and have to fold anyway though, totally get it

Think I tanked 7 seconds
Haha ty. Had way too much fun making it
Ty. Also trying to be a MS paint pro
Think I'd also want the Ac. I do see his argument that if the opp player could have AQo pre then we'd also block a lot of bluffs. Agree that either way it prob doesn't matter since a) I'd bet turn pretty often with that hand and b) if I didn't would prob fold river regardless.
No disclaimer needed. You didn't know 2+2 is a judgment free zone where everyone talks to each other with respect and values all opinions?
Result:
River: ($184.82) K♠ (2 players)
UTGplus1 (MP) bets $433.84 (all-in), Hero (CO) folds
Total pot: $184.82 (Rake: $4)
UTGplus1 (MP) wins $180.82
Got me
Seat 1: UTGplus1 showed [A♦ 8♦] and won ($180.82)
Haha ty. Had way too much fun making it

If I was going to call I'd rather have Ac, so i disagree with this.
I would fold very happily here anyway and just call boats vs most population. Don't see population OB jamming 44-88cx and T9s here at close enough frequency that you could probably just call your nut flushes and boats.

May
Study Hours- 10
In the beginning of the month I moved then had some technical difficulties trying to play when I got here so I didn't start playing until the 9th. The whole process of moving was stressful but feeling good now that I'm settled in. I'm loving my new setup. Also my results/running like god didn't hurt.
One of the things I miss most is my weekly live plo game. It was the perfect way to break up the week. I was thinking about dedicating one day a week to study/play plo online but I think with the opportunity cost of sqeezing the most out of quarantine games I'm better off sticking to NL. Might start this next month depending on how things go.
Coming off a big month I think it's human nature to get a little relaxed and complacent so I want to make sure I avoid that. Inspired by bbissick it's the perfect opportunity to offer a freeroll.
-160+ hours of play []
-12+ hours study []
-Meditate 12x+ []
-Run 12+ miles []
If I don't hit the above minimums for June next poster gets $500, half in your pocket, half to charity of your choice. Must have at least 1 post here to be eligible. Enjoy

No I'm mixing sites. Don't think you've posted before but since you were first you're freerolling for $100 as a consolation
Congrats on the freeroll. You're drawing close to dead but I wish you luck!
Appreciate it Ty. Same to you
Feels good man. Keep cranking those 5 fig months yourself
Lmao. Money for people seems like a very worthy cause
Thanks. If I keep this up I might be able to splurge on slim approved hotel/airline/restaurants next time I make a wsop trip. #movingup
Thanks man. Gl in June
Yeah pretty crazy. Trying to stay grounded bc we all know how when you start feeling invincible this game can humble you real quick. Btw hope you got those TT issues sorted out. Feel your pain

I was careful to not make this monthly goal a hand target bc I'm looking to lower my hands/hr. I had a decent amount of **** ups and lost track of action last month. Quality > quantity especially when playing higher imo

That'd be nice. Hope the grinds treating you well mate
Sucks for the short term but iggy does it right. Capping the tables and making it anon is a very good thing

June
Freeroll
-160+ hours of play [163]
-12+ hours study [12 hrs 10 min]
-Meditate 12x+ [14x]
-Run 12+ miles [14.69]
Really frustrating month. Goes along with the theme of the year, do well at the bread and butter stakes then get crushed higher.
I'm glad I was able to complete the freeroll but I actually think it worked against me. When my graph went into freefall I was pretty disgusted and many times wanted to just quit for the day and clear my head. Instead I pushed through just for the sake of hitting my goal. It's really hard to play your best when dealing with those negative emotions losing can bring up.
Despite that I still like the idea of monthly goals, just no free money attached this time. I'm gonna treat this as a rebuilding month. Less higher stakes volume, less tables, less mindless button clicking, more study and session review.
July Goals-
-150+ hours of play
-15 hours study
- Learn how to create custom stats in PT4. It looks complicated to me at first glance so if I can't figure it out I might pay someone to teach me. Feel free to chime in here if you know how to do this.
- Meditate 12x+
- Run 12+ miles
Happy to put June behind me and mentally start fresh. 2nd half of the year starts today. **** em!
