This is my third day playing on Run It Once Poker during the 101 promotion week, would have like to have played more days, but had family commitments .
Run It Once Poker gave me ten euros to start with on their site , hopefully this journal will see my bankroll and the new poker site grow together .
The first day I lost a Splash Pot where I was ahead on the flop, but got outdrawn, the Splash Pots create a dynamic I have not come across before in online poker and it will be interesting how the strategy for Splash Pots developed .
The second day I clawed some of the losses back and did not go bust when my aces held all in against jacks .
Today the third day on Run It Once Poker where I had a boost , I managed to win a pot where I turned a fullhouse against a players trips , this clearly tilted them and a few hands later in a Splash Pot they 3bet all in over my raise , I thought I was ahead with AJ because of their tilt and was just versus AT and I won the Splash Pot .
Another interesting hand came up where I turned an eight high flush on the turn, I bet for value on the river and got check/raised, I was not sure what to do here, would anyone call another raise with a worse flush ?
I called and my opponent had raised with a broadway straight with the ace of hearts, should I have gone all in or not ?
Really enjoyed playing on Run It Once this week, hope the site goes from strength to strength .

Today's email about earned confidence was really useful way of describing confidence .

Fear of failure and energy levels are probably the reasons I am not putting in the proper volume Elliot .

This is how my Six Levers of poker would line up with the weakest first, volume, stakes, skill, rake, edge and efficiency . Looking to keep improving .
After reading an article yesterday I saw how a professional poker would approach the AJ hand mentioned in my first post and how big of a fish I am at this stage of my poker journey . I just relied on instinct instead of knowing how my hand compared to my opponents range . So I put the hand into an equity calculator versus a range of AT+ and 99+ and got the result I was looking for of 40% based on the pot, my instincts were right but to improve as a poker player I must do more range analysis study .
I tried to do a similar analysis with the flush hand but not sure what range to give my opponent on the river .
Day four on Run It Once poker resulted in one significant hand where my QQ was up against KK, the flop had a queen and three spades and my opponent had the king of spades , so I was not confident and the king hit on the river . So these kind of hands do occur on every poker site .
