New Goals: I need to pay more attention to my decisions, note more stats/ try harder to not misread or not notice a stack size. Trying to notice how things look from my opponents perspective.

In Progress: Value bet sizing, working on extracting more and just overall betting larger for value in a lot more spots. Finding spots to barrel. I have been 1 and done betting a lot less and putting in more barrels more often, still looking for more spots to apply this.

Weaknesses: Playing too weak/tight. Not paying good enough attention to all of my opponents/stats.

HIs UTG open is 16%, his fold to 3b is 0. His fold to flop cb is 33%(3) on the flop, 0 (2) on turn 0 (1) on river WTSD is 27. this is all over 163 hands

Pre Flop: ($1.50) Hero is CO with K K

UTG raises to $3, 2 folds, Hero raises to $10, 3 folds, UTG calls $7

I 3b him because he opens a lot and he doesn't seem to want to fold very often pre or postflop. Right after I 3bet him I realized we are 230 deep, had I noticed this before I would have 3b a couple big blinds more. This is because we are deep and I want to build a bigger pot with somebody who probably won't want to fold.

Flop: ($21.50) 3 9 T (2 players)

UTG checks, Hero bets $14, UTG calls $14

I think his check call range will have a lot of 1 pair hands in it, maybe even AK/AQ if he's not in a folding mood. It could be Tx, JJ, QQ, 88, 77, or maybe even like A9s or something.

Turn: ($49.50) 6 (2 players)

UTG checks, Hero bets $28, UTG calls $28

I think most of his range that called the flop will call the turn, he picks some additional equity with his mid 1 pair hands.

River: ($105.50) T (2 players)

UTG checks, Hero bets $42, UTG calls $42

When he checks the river I don't think he has a ten, if he lead for a sizable amount I would have folded. I wanted to bet for value vs any non Tx hand. My bet was on the smaller size to not scare off mid pairs and such.

Looking back in this hand I realize that I probably should have bet bigger on every street. I am not used to playing deep and trying to size my bets to get a lot more than 100bbs in by the river but I think I should have at least bet the flop larger and a little bigger on the turn.

CO: $402.45

This guy is playing 16/9. BTN steal 17, aggression by street is 2.5/1.5/3.0 or 27/29/25 WTSD is 23 WWSF 34 over 973 hands.

Pre Flop: ($1.50) Hero is BB with J 8

5 folds, BTN raises to $2, SB calls $1.50, Hero calls $1

Pretty standard call getting 5 to 1 vs a fish opening.

Flop: ($6.00) 7 5 6 (3 players)

SB checks, Hero bets $4, BTN calls $4, SB folds

I flop pretty decent equity and get 1 check to me so I decided to stab and see if I could get the pfr to fold any random garbage. When he doesn't fold I think there are a shitload of hands he could have given his preflop minraising range. He will call with 5x, 6x, 7x, 4x, 8x, spades, overcards with a gutter, the better ace highs in his range. Theres stuff i'm leaving out I know but his calling range is wide and that's my point.

Turn: ($14.00) 9 (2 players)

Hero bets $10, BTN raises to $20, Hero calls $10

Turn is a good card when he minraises I put him on an eight really a very large portion of the time. I don't really know if people bluff like this, if so it would likely be with a flush draw since if they do get called they still have outs but that seems pretty weird imo.

I called because I didn't think the value of my 4 out freeroll would be worth getting in, when he could have a 9 out freeroll against me. I could just call the river and then call a vast majority of rivers, sometimes folding if something really weird happens like a flush draw comes in and he shoves.

River: ($54.00) T (2 players)

Hero checks, BTN bets $37, Hero raises to $83.45 all in, BTN folds

So I river yhatzee and figure if he has an 8 he's going to lose all of his money if I CRAI, and if he somehow has a bluff I give him a chance to bet since all the flush draws bricked. I was really surprised when he folded, guess people do bluff here. I suppose there's a slight chance he had a worse hand for value but I find that very hard to believe he bets that much on the river with like a set or two pair.

UTG+2 posts a big blind ($1)

MP is 54/9 and CO is 35/6 very few hands on either of them.

Pre Flop: ($3.00) Hero is BTN with Q K

1 fold, UTG+1 calls $1, UTG+2 checks, 1 fold, MP2 raises to $2, CO calls $2, Hero raises to $10, 4 folds, MP2 calls $8, CO raises to $25.25 all in, Hero requests TIME, Hero raises to $324.80 all in, 1 fold

When MP minraises I obv give him a weak range. When the CO calls I figure he is pretty weak as well and I 3b. As a result of playing too many tables I didn't notice CO's stack size. So when it gets back to MP and he calls I put him on a range that really wants to see a flop. I don't think he is expecting the CO to shove and planning some type of re shove trap behind both of us.

So when the CO does shove I figure he is just doing it because he's like ah fuck there's so much in the pot already and I have only 25bbs lets go with it. Since I initially put him on a weak range I don't think his range changed, just his mentality, and since I didn't think that MP had a strong range I shoved. If MP had like an 80+ bb stack I probably would have just called and let the hand play itself postflop, but who knows maybe putting in a sizable 4bet then is also an option given his weak range.

BTN: $67.00

CO is a 15/11 with a 3b from the CO of 5%. I assume when you have me opening in MP2 it will go up a little from 5% but not likely a huge amount.

Pre Flop: ($1.50) Hero is MP2 with K A

3 folds, Hero raises to $3, CO raises to $10, 3 folds, Hero requests TIME, Hero calls $7

So when he does 3b I decide to flat vs 4b and get it in and that was because he continuation bets a lot, so I figure I can check/shove a lot of flops and he is likely to barrel the boards that hit my hand.

Flop: ($21.50) 6 K Q (2 players)

Hero checks, CO checks

I figure he'll bet all of his air here so I go for a ch/c to get some value out of all of his bluff range. When he checks back I put him on a pair worse than TP, maybe like an AQ type hand, or JJ/TT

Turn: ($21.50) 5 (2 players)

Hero bets $14, CO calls $14

I lead the turn for value, I think my size is fine because a larger bet might rep a bigger hand than he's willing to pay off vs. Usually when people check back pairs in 3b pots it's not with the intention of calling off big bets on further streets as a big bet reps a hand trying to get value that it missed on the previous street.

River: ($49.50) 7 (2 players)

Hero requests TIME, Hero bets $29, CO requests TIME, CO folds

I still think his range is decently weaker than TP so I bet on the smaller side trying to squeeze out some value but he doesn't bite.

New Goals: Being aware of what my range looks like to my opponents, also, how the board connects with my perceived range. There are lots of spots where I bluff and try to rep something that my opponents won't see in my range, and conversely there are lots of spots that I don't bluff because I don't realize how strong my range looks and how the board connects well with that perceived range.

In Progress: I feel like I can move 3barreling into the in progress stage, I am much more actively looking for spots than I have in the past, also checking things like wtsd and fold to turn cb and river cb stats more often, I still have tons of work to do though.

Still trying to extract more with my big hands, there's a lot of spots where I could still be adding a few more bbs to my bets/raises that won't change the frequency they get called but will make more money.

Weaknesses: I know i'm giving up in too many spots and i'm sure I don't even realize what half of those are right now.

MP2 is main villain in this hand, he is running 53/15 aggression by street is 1/.7/4 or by frequency 24/15/30. So he seems pretty passive overall i'd say.

Pre Flop: ($1.50) Hero is SB with A K

2 folds, UTG+2 calls $1, 1 fold, MP2 calls $1, 2 folds, Hero raises to $6, 2 folds, MP2 calls $5

Raise is pretty standard, his range is ridiculously wide and may or may not include slowplayed big hands, I think this guy is capable of a lot of dumb things preflop, so it's tough to know exactly what he's up to.

Flop: ($14.00) T 7 A (2 players)

Hero bets $10, MP2 calls $10

Pretty standard again I feel, I could have gone 1bb larger but given stack sizes and the flop size it won't be tough to get all in by the river.

Hero??

This is where i'm unsure what to do, and I know that's probably bad since I should have had a plan for this type of river, it is a brick if he is holding a pair, and its the nuts if he had clubs. I'm not sure if he would pay me with an Ax type hand if I shove, and even then there are a lot of Ax hands that are beating me, AT, A7, A6 A2, he can still hold A4, A5, A8, A9, but I think it ends there because I feel like this guy is really going to be raising his AJ+ hands preflop. He does have a 15% pfr and people do tend to raise with their better hands. So I think there are less AQ and AJ hands to be in his range rather than the weaker aces, so all that does is take hands out of his range that can/would pay me.

This was against another fish, MP2 again, this time running at 44/15. He folds to flop cbets 63%, turn cb 33% river cb 100% over 72 hands (2 hands to the river), also as you could guess his wtsd is ridic small over this sample at only 8%.

Flop: ($7.50) 5 6 9 (2 players)

Hero bets $5, MP2 calls $5

I knew that when I bet this flop I would likely end up barreling a lot of good turn and river cards. This is a common spot i'm starting to see as a barreling opportunity, overcards on a low-mid semi connected board. There are lots of hands that will call down and fold on brick rivers, and my 6 outs will be clean most of the time, I think 98% of my kings are good and maybe 75% of my aces. This doesn't count the times he calls us with a worse ace high on the flop and we end up betting for value. He may even fold 22-44 here since he is kind of nitty in response to flop cbets.

Turn: ($17.50) 3 (2 players)

Hero bets $14, MP2 calls $14

I would have barreled this card regardless looking to fire a lot of brick rivers, I consider those to be T+, a deuce, or also a 3 I guess. This might be a spewey plan, but I still think my overcard outs are as good on the river as they would have been on the turn.

River: ($45.50) 6 (2 players)

Hero requests TIME, Hero bets $40

Initially looking at it I wasn't sure if this should have been one of the cards I was barreling, when I think about it now i'm still not sure. He will have A6, 67, 68, 64 in his range, and some % of the time he will be slowplaying 65 or 69. However, he could also have 5x, 77, 88, or a busted draw that we don't give him the chance to bluff us with.

Not really sure if this one is good at all, I guess we'll see.

New goals: Still looking for good spots to 3barrel, I hope the one below is one. I havn't found many lately and i'm looking hard.

In progress: Extracting max valued. bluff raising flops still, but I know there is more I can do with that. Made zero misclicks yesterday i've been taking my time and making better more well thought out decisions.

Weaknesses: Playing too weak postflop, folding too many good hands to just raw aggression regardless of if their line makes sense or not.

BTN is 16/13 his btn PFR (not steal) is 18. He folds to 3bets 64% and 4bets 10%, so he calls 26%. In 3bet pots, his fold to flop cb is 43% and his fold to turn cb is 38% WTSD is 25%.

2 folds, UTG+2 calls $1, 3 folds, BTN raises to $5, Hero requests TIME, Hero raises to $15, 2 folds, BTN requests TIME, BTN calls $10

I haven't 3bet him yet, but this is pretty standard regardless. I think his calling range is something like: AdAh,AdAs,AhAs,JJ-88,AQs-AJs,KQs,AQo-AJo this is 4.8% of total hands. (Which I got from 18%(his opening range) multiplied by 26%(his call 3b). I gave him half of the combo of aces because I think the average player will slowplay sometimes and when they do it is more likely aces than kings. I think he is probably always 4betting AK, QQ, and KK.

Flop: ($32.00) 5 7 8 (2 players)

Hero requests TIME, Hero bets $18, BTN calls $18

I wanted to bet something he could call easily yet large enough where my turn shove is still around pot sized. 18 is the perfect amount for that. I think his continuing range here is: AdAh,AdAs,AhAs,JJ-88,AcJc,AhJh sometimes he will shove the draws and set and other hands but i'm really not sure what % of the time he calls with those hands and how often he shoves.

Turn: ($68.00) A (2 players)

Hero requests TIME, Hero bets $67 all in

This is a really weird card. His flush draw of AJcc is no longer in his range. So I think the only time this card directly improves his hand is when he has AA, I figure he folds his random overcards on this kind of a flop, it would be really weird to float there. Unless he thinks i'm 1 and done on this board and plans on shoving the turn when I check but folding if I shove and he doesn't improve. I have no idea if he has that kind of read on me though or plays that way so I just assume he won't have an A and I shoved for value. This was against any of the pairs like 99 JJ TT with a club. I know it is really thin because this card hits my range pretty hard so it will make people less inclined to call down vs me, however I really didn't think check/deciding on the turn was a better option. I didn't want to give those worse pair + draws a free card that they would pay for some % of the time.

I could easily see this being a really bad play though because truthfully I have no idea what the right play is here.

Villain in this hand is a reg and I have played with him at this limit and NL50, I recently lost all of my notes in an FTP update so I don't have anything specific on him aside from his stats which are: 20/14 calls opens 20% from the BTN 5% 3b.

2nd to act 8 handed this is a pretty standard open for me. When this guy calls me I give him a range of something like: JJ-22,AQs-A5s,KJs+,QTs+,J9s+,T8s+,98s,87s,76s,65s,AQo-ATo,KJo+,QJo This is 16% of total hands. I think he is always 3betting AK and QQ+. I didn't give him a full 20% of hands because I am opening from early position and he understands position on a very basic level and does adjust his ranges slightly.

Flop: ($7.50) K T 4 (2 players)

Hero bets $6, BTN calls $6

I could have bet bigger, but I think my size is perfect especially vs this type of player. This player will polarize his range for me on the flop. If he calls my bet, he has a weak hand, pair, maybe a draw to go with it, or maybe just a decent pair. If he raises he has a flush or set, and he will fold all of his garbage.

So when this guy only calls my flop bet, I am fairly certain he is giving me the green light to barrel him off of his hand here.

Turn: ($19.50) 3 (2 players)

Hero bets $24, BTN calls $24

Turn brick is good, but I need to size my bet so that I can make a credible river shove. I think his calling range is fairly similar to his flop calling range, pairs and draws.

Hero bets $74.95 all in

I feel like this credibly reps a flush or a set on my end, and if he doesn't believe me and calls with like TP or something than I guess we just take a note and move on amirite?
