Hey Steve first of all thanks a lot for the video.
I've watched twice, and i will watche it again later today while taking notes, so i'll probably have a few questions for you.

3bet all your trash until he plays back at you. Also 3bet some premiumish hands that can be difficult to play sometimes postflop like AJ,AT,QJ and stuff like that, and call with things like QQ+, and hands with good playability.

Hello, unfortunately i haven't got that much time for poker because of college lately.
But since i last posted (i know it is a long time ago) i was able to put a lot of volume (2.5-3k hands a day) in january and february and despite two big downswings i managed to put improve my Banckroll from 95€ to 460€ since then i've only played about 20k hands.
My semester will end on june 12, so after that i will be able to play about 2.5k hands a day and study a lot, as i did in january and february, until the beggining of september.
I will update this blog, more frequently throught the summer, since it is also a good motivational tool to keep grinding and working on my game.

Cheers ;)

He can 3bet them preflop, if he 3bets a polarized range sb vs BTN.
I like the way you played it, but would've bet let OTR, maybe 4.5-6$

I think that a set is the most probable holding for him given both PF and F. If you had the GS for the Nuts i think i would call at least once, but since there is also the flush draw, and you have no blockers to it, i like folding.

Tomorrow i'll see if i find one of these hands on my DB to post, it's cool vs agro guys lol

For sure thats my intention, i'm still not that good with it but if have time to do it this weekend i'll post it here

Good call here, with most hands that play like this and beat you he would probably x the river trying to get to showdown, so i think he as air more often than not, i don't think there is no point in raising this at all.

Agreed about beting bigger on the flop. About x/c vs b/f OTT i still have my doubts, i will try to study this better with CREV on the weekend.

DDonkeyKong, i acctually don't call this hand vs a 3bet OOP even vs a guy like this, we can get on a ton of spots with reverse implied odds if we flop our King and being OOP it will be basically a guessing situation postflop.

Agree with you guys about not liking this more passive line, my math at the time of play was way off, so i agree that with such an SPR bet/shove is the best line with this hand.
Also just as pure curiosity, the guy called my 4bet with Ac8h LOL

Agreed about the 4bet sizing it was a misclick since i usually 4bet to 2.2x or 2.3x OOP so in this case it would be 2-2.10$.

Only thing i would do differently is the turn sizing (i think 5-5.5$) is a better sizing here, if you think he is a calling station you can overbet this.
Also you give us a reason why you 4bet this hand preflop, but you don't need one if you have KK just 4bet always unless you have a good reason not to.

Preflop i think it is a good squezze if you have good players on the blinds, if not i'm just calling with AQs and SQZ with AQo, but obviously even if you have fishes on the blinds it is never bad to SQZ this hand.
Flop sizing i think it is ok i usually also use 50% on this type of pots.
Like the second barrel.
Now to shove or not on the turn, this is you real question given the money left behind, if you think that he will shove with things like TT-JJ you have 27% equity which is enough if you think that he only shove sets (i think he calls with 88 and even 66 here given his stats) you need to fold.

Just x/f the flop, he will have two pair, sets, and top pair, maybe even QTs, and even if you decide to x/c if you hit your STR8 you can't be that happy, because a T of spades will also complete the flush.
If you where deep like 200bbs i think i would prefer a x/c on the flop, what do you guys think?

Nice hand and i like your sizing.
More specifically about the river vs some players (i'm not saying this is one of the cases), i like to make a really ridiculous bet like 1bb on a pot of 50bb, to some players this will look like you missclicked when you tried to x and the won't know what to do, so some will go crazy and re-raise you and a call your re-raise, of course that to do this you need to have good reads on villain otherwise you will be probably be loosing a tone of value using this strategy.

I agree with you about flating > 3beting in this situation, but i don't think that we can arrive to that conclusion with that sample size

I miss read villain's position for some reason, if he is UTG than i think calling is better, vs UTG i prefer to 3bet only KK+, and 76s-T9s from the BB, i call with AQ+,ATs-AJs,KQs,99-QQ, and then the other PP i call more often than not but it will be very player a stack sizes dependent

For me it is doing heavy lifting and practicing martial arts, in my case it is Muay Thay.
I can only speak for myself, but i've been between September 2014 and the end of January without training, due to a muscular rupture, and it really afected me on poker, because i could not get relief from stress as easy.
For you it might be something else, like playing action video games or something like that, it varies a lot from person to person

At least at the micros, i'm always folding with only TP vs 3barrels, especially on this type of board, where he doesn't have enough missed draws to bluff on the river.

I like beting better, because it opens your options. You can either win the pot right now, you can bluff on good bluffing cards on the river (when he takes this line is range is going to be capped so you must have decent FE), and you can valuebet a 4 (~4% of the time but it is still some added equity). If you x the turn, you basically will ended up folding almost always when he bets and x back when he x hopping to be good which wont happen that often, because might have things like 55-66 that always beat you.

Good call on the river, with those pot odds would be a big mistake to fold a boat.

Study and try to improve one concept or leak at the time, if you try to fix to much leaks at the same time you will f* up your game most of the time.

wp, i don't think he will be jamming enough rivers with air to make it a +EV call.

At first i tried to do that, but my camtasia wouldn't work properly, so i decided to just post a few hands. But i'll try to do that in the future.

Thanks a lot in advance, knoxox
