only played about 3 hours and didnt put a big effort in. Im gonna try to play 8 hours tomorrow and be a better professional. Its really easy for me to play up to 10 hours when I'm down heaps but when I'm crushing I just feel like booking the win. Its bad habit but I suppose as long as I get 30~ hours at the table every week its fine

preflop is a standard defend BTN v BB. on the flop I would raise some 7x/T9s with bdfd and 8x for protection. This A8s in particular I prefer calls so I can cooler his AK/AQ when the A peels off. I prefer raising hands like 89s that needs more protection and doesn't have much implied odds.
Turn is good for BB range, his 1/3 sizing just looks like a ton of Ax. Its rainbow board so I don't expect much bluffs at all. He only has T9s or 56s that are both mixed pre and I suspect would bet a bigger size. On my side I think call is still the standard play. I don't want to have many raises here when he just always has a made hand
River 4x completes 56s which I will always have. I still have 88/78s/77/67s/79s so my range just crushes his. he checks which I expect a lot of, and I just need to go all in. I have all the nuts and he only has AA, rest of time he just has Ax and population will struggle to fold AK here so going all in is mandatory. I think Its very hard for me to have enough bluffs. I only have T9s and maybe some JTs that call the turn 1/3 bet. I might have to turn some 8x into bluffs to be balanced
