Hero (BB): $100.00

CO: $195.00

BTN: $100.00

SB: $55.65

Pre Flop: ($1.50) Hero is BB with T Q

1 fold, BTN raises to $2.50, 1 fold, Hero calls $1.50

villain is 25/14 over 46 hands so far with a 50% button steal. I call with the intention of leading/xr a lot

Flop: ($5.50) 5 9 3 (2 players)

Hero checks, BTN checks

His cb is 75% of 4 instances, so I go for an xr given board texture.

Turn: ($5.50) T (2 players)

Hero bets $4, BTN raises to $15, Hero requests TIME, Hero calls $11

When he checks back the turn I figure him to have like a middle pair, weak 9 or A hi type hand. I bet the turn for value, if I knew he were more aggressive I check and let him bluff/value bet thin.

When he raises me I think his value range is something like T9 (some % of the time, pretty rare though) T5, maybe something like 99, either way, not a lot of hands. However he could have checked back air or he could be turning a made hand into a bluff (unlikely I know, but just throwing it out there).

If he for some reason decided to not cb any of the hands that can give him a gutter/open ender on the turn, he could very easily raise those. I do assume he will be cbetting most of those hands though which does make this raise kind of scary.

River: ($35.50) T (2 players)

Hero checks, BTN bets $20, Hero calls $20

My hand can look like a QJ type hand or maybe he thinks he can rep the T, i'm not sure. I just figured there was nothing to stop him to continue with any of the bluffs he had on the turn.

So I should be done with improva tomorrow, it's pretty good stuff so far. Sorry I wasn't available earlier when you called I was with my gf, you know how it is. I only played a few k hands today bc of gf and improva, still running kinda bad. I do feel like i'm playing a lot better though especially in terms of not leveling myself in simple spots as much.

So I feel like i'm playing better lately. Which is good because if i'm going to run like shit I might as well play well. I would be winning right now, it's just one of those times that every 2-4 outter is guaranteed to hit against you. And I don't really care tbh since I know this is going to even out and honestly I havn't run this bad in a while so I guess i'm owed. Anyways i'm going to try to do most of improva2 today and finish it up tomorrow.

Hero (CO): $229.70

BTN: $157.30

Pre Flop: ($1.50) Hero is CO with A 2

2 folds, Hero raises to $3, BTN calls $3, 2 folds

This guy had pretty aggro stats of like 50/40 but only over 30ish hands. We havn't had any showdowns vs one another although I have barreled him a few times in standard spots that he didn't call down in so he could think i'm aggressive.

Flop: ($7.50) A Q 8 (2 players)

Hero requests TIME, Hero checks, BTN bets $4, Hero requests TIME, Hero calls $4

I decide to go for an x/c on this board instead of a cb given the fact that my kicker doesn't play and I can only value bet vs Qx and draws. Where if I check he can bet a lot of hands. I'm pretty sure this is the right spot to apply this type of concept but given the connectedness of the board I could be wrong.

Turn: ($15.50) 5 (2 players)

Hero checks, BTN checks

I continue with the same plan let him bet draws or air or whatever.

River: ($15.50) K (2 players)

Hero checks, BTN bets $10, Hero calls $10

When he checks back the turn I think he can have Qx a middle pair or maybe a weak A or just a draw/air that didn't want to barrel. On a blank river I would have bet for value assuming he bets his stronger aces on the turn. However when the K hits the river, while no flush draws come in, I now feel like it will be much harder to bet for value vs middle pairs, and a 3rd check might rep a queen or worse by me to the point where villain might stab with his hands that won't win at showdown.

Prob coulda bet 1bb bigger but probably not a big deal.

Turn: ($27.00) 5 (3 players)

SB checks, BB bets $7, Hero requests TIME, Hero raises to $20, SB folds, BB calls $13

This is really my big question about the hand. I felt like this turn lead is often a hand like 99 with a c or Acxx. My plan was to raise for value and check back any non boat river, maybe bet small if it's a really innocent card.

River: ($67.00) Q (2 players)

Pre Flop: ($1.50) Hero is BB with T A

3 folds, MP2 raises to $3, 2 folds, SB calls $2.50, Hero calls $2

PFR is 28/14, sb caller is 10/8 I figure I could squeeze here, but this spot should play relatively straightforward postflop, so if I call I can probably attack a lot of pots and these guys won't play back much.

Flop: ($9.00) 6 Q J (3 players)

SB checks, Hero bets $7, MP2 calls $7, SB folds

So I lead here to take control of the pot with a really big hand, if raised getting it in no prob. He just calls. I figure he will have a 1 pair hand a lot, maybe AK AT KT other weaker straight draws or spades. He probably isn't slowplaying very often here but you never know.

Turn: ($23.00) 3 (2 players)

Hero bets $15, MP2 calls $15

I think he will fold some 2nd pair type hands or weaker, obv no TP type hands, he could call again with draws too.

River: ($53.00) T (2 players)

Hero

This is where i'm not too sure what to do. I'm not sure if there are enough missed draws in his range to bet the river, or if he will just have too many 1 pair hands he won't fold.

5 folds, BTN raises to $3, 1 fold, Hero calls $2

pfr is 27/14 cbets about half the time and then 67% on the turn after that, no river stats.

Flop: ($6.50) J K J (2 players)

Hero checks, BTN checks

Figure this is a good board to go for a check/call and then I would check raise the turn since he has bet the 2barreled a bit already.

Turn: ($6.50) A (2 players)

Hero bets $5, BTN calls $5

When he checks back the flop I bet the turn to start getting some money in the pot, I don't really think he will have a ton though, A king will likely bet the flop, he could have Ax. Maybe I should go for a check raise on the turn as well because he will bet/call with Ax where with an A he will almost always only flat my bet. He could also try to bluff the turn but since he didn't bluff the flop he either doesn't have a bluff or he doesn't bluff a lot since that's a great spot to cbet.

River: ($16.50) 7 (2 players)

Hero bets $13, BTN calls $13

I didn't know at this point either if I should go for a check raise as played, or just bet for value. If it were a non flush card I would check raise almost always but since I didn't think he would value bet very much I would just make more from betting.

When I cb in this spot I feel like it's easy to get shipped over vs a stack size like this. So I try to kinda do the opposite to him. I could bet/shove turn I suppose too.

This guy is 33/19 over 70 hands. I have only been at the table for a few minutes so no recent history. When he overcalls pre he can have a lot of things. I think he would flat with a lot of hands and probably 3bet pretty straightforwardly, he hasn't 3b yet.

When he leads the flop I think he can have a lot of 1 pair type hands, some overpairs, some 8x, or 7x hands, maybe 4x of spades, or 45, 46. He could also have spades and straight draws. He could also have 2 pair, sets or a straight. I figure raise and get it in is a pretty good idea given how many combos of 1 pair type hands there are, draws and how few big hands he can have, he probably isn't calling preflop with 56os, so 4 combos of 56s, 3 of 88, 3 of 44, 3 of 77, 3 87s, means there are only 16 value combos, but the combos of 99-JJ alone are 18.

When he calls my flop raise I put him on the much weaker portion of his range, basically much fewer nut hands although he could slowplay some times. The turn 7 is also a whatever card, while it does improve 7x, I think that is a small part of his range, he is unlikely to have A7, if anything it will be 76s or 75s. It does however make hands like 77 and 87s less likely, there are now only 1 combo of 77 and 2 of 87s, down to 12 total value combos. But if you add in 75s and 67s we're back up to 16 so yeah. I decide to go for good value and just get it in here or shove river if he just calls.
