Hand #1 - Yeah I 100% agree about preflop. I have been trying to pay real close attention to short stacks lately and stop myself from making raises like this all the time but clearly didn't see this one.

Hand #2 - Sham you're right about me being way off base thinking AJ might be in this range. That's just super unlikely.

Preflop I think is not 'bad'. All of you think his range must be tight, ergo my range must be tighter. This is favourable to me for a few reasons: 1) he will fold a lot of his hands preflop being OOP to such strength, 2) when he calls I can rep a tonne of strength on the flop and if it's like A/K/Q high can probably make him fold most of his range, 3) not a huge factor but if I hit something big he'll never put me on the hand, 4) meta.

Xas,

Thoughts plz.

I'm honestly shocked at the amount of loose goose play at $400NL. Whilst I was waiting for you to start playing I 2 tabled $10NL for half hour (I have like, $22 left on FTP) and pretty much 3 betted and 4 betted everyone into submission. It was a complete nitfest and I remembered why I refuse to play at FTP at low limits. At the $400's though, there's cold calls OOP and weak hands shown down everywhere!

That hand where he had KJ and rivered the straight, what did you have? The one where it was a paired flop (two queens)

Played about 7 and a half hours of poker today spread over 3 sessions and managed to pump out a good 4.4k hands. By the end of my first session I was down $4.04 and wanted to kill myself but came back to win a nice $2,033.65 when all was said and done for the day. Here's a graph cause everyone loves graphs:



I also watched a poker video and analysed a few hands with a friend. I'm also planning on getting back into coaching which I think will be a nice balance between playing and help me not get burnt out. If anyone's interested then PM me or post in here or something.

I'm going through my DB and can't find any hands that really stumped me today. I might pick a couple and post them in the NLHE section anyway though.

Well that was a fun session. I played for about 6 hours, 3-tabling for the majority of the time seeing as I only have my laptop to play on, I was getting pretty bored by the end and wanted to sleep but there was a pretty bad player sitting at a table with 350BBs and I covered him so I didn't feel like leaving. Clearly I made the right decision:
