2 decent sessions

I did a session yesterday and early morning today. Yesterday's came out practically even, probably up like 30bb total. Today, I had some weird situations but still came up 1.5 BI ahead. That's good enough for me.

I do feel I'm a lot more confident about my game. I had a lot of dry boards today, I mostly win a lot of small pots. I rarely ever bluff with air, so my holdings are pretty important to my winrates. But during my dry runs, I try to lose minimal and win big. This is not easy when you got high cards but the board is low cards and vice versa. But overall I dealt with it fairly well, still came up on top, even after making one weird move on a donk and getting sucked out once.



These days, I've been making a lot more of these moves below. I mostly just want to win the money they had put in there. I'm not looking for a coinflip. This is pretty powerful, even with just OESD or flush draw. This mostly relies on fold equity and the fact that some players know I would do this, I can get similar action making the same play with my sets.

I like these plays, I have a good amounts of outs. If he only has TP, I am a favorite. If he folds, that would be perfect. If he doesn't fold, worst scenario I'll be down to 12 outs. Even in these low stakes, getting a chance for slight favorite against bad players is really good. It can give you a really loose image and tilt some players.




This villian is such a noob. I don't know how these players do well sometimes. I see him play a lot. I probably can't profit off him easily most of the time because he's aggressive. But if he calls these plays all the time, I would profit off him in the future.

With those holdings, this was definitely a coinflip, I was a slight underdog. While he might have made a good play to call me so he doesn't lose his dead money, what if I make this play with an overpair or a set? he'll be dominated. I'll keep this in mind against this villian. By the way, he called me INSTANTLY. Maybe I'm just irritated that he makes these loose calls. Still, what an idiot!
