Had meh short session. ~500 hands +.6 BI.

My play trailed off towards the end and tables started breaking so I stopped.

Have to be more consistent with parts of my game I'm weaker at. Like 3bet/facing 3bet preflop.

Ran into a lot of people who love to bluff.

Hand 1: Was watching villain, he had played every single hand. I checked flop because I'm so far ahead of his range + he folds to too many cbets. Was praying he'd bluff or pick up hand on turn. Felt a little unsure about the call since I sometimes make awful calldowns, but had seen him spazz out before and realized he was probably just FOS.

Hand 2. I got lucky on river. Didn't have many hands on villain and would not have expected him to run a bluff like this.

I feel like this is one of those hands I'll write off as a cooler even though I could have changed some things.

As played, I think I have to bet river and hope he folds his hand. I don't think he can ever have a monster as played and am not surprised he showed TT as that's exactly what he should show up with. Think I have to fire third barrel and hope I can take him off of it.

Lost 5BI.
Last 3 swings have been down 12BI, then up 14BI, then down 7BI.
My game swinging wildly back and forth, play is too inconsistent and erratic.
Today main source of problems was getting coolered (or at least being stuck in situations I consider coolers). One of the main things that helped me go on the 14BI upswing was minimizing the amount of $ I lost in cooler situations.

Leaks:
Consistency.
CO range in unopened pots. The gap between my CO opening range and BU opening ranges is way too wide.
Postflop Play after calling 2bet preflop.
remembering to bet river more often, bluffs and value bets.
3bet+ pots preflop.

Some days I'll do poor at one of these, well at another. Some days good on all of them, some days bad on all. I'm slowly improving though and will continue to work.

Been slacking on updates. Had a nice short session today, won almost 4 BI.
Am profitable through first third of month.
Still not getting enough hands in. Played my best session I've played in a while.

My BR is at the highest it's been since first day on this site when I was starting with 25nl.
If I can get 20 BI deep for NL25 will take a small shot and pray I run well.

Missed valuebet here. Villain can't have AQ.
