3200 hands for Friday
Today was a fight, that’s for sure. My first 2000 hands I played like complete ass, going from +200 to -300 in that timespan. I was able to finish that session only down 150 and decided to take a good break to come back. In that time I looked over my old hands as well as my conversations with Renton from a couple months ago in order to get my magic back.
A couple interesting things I noticed: I was 0-20 in hands in which I cold called preflop, with 2 hands going to showdown. I interrupted this as me giving up too easily and or putting myself in easily bluffable situations. My red line was still pretty nasty as I’m spewing postflop. So I made some adjustments:
1) Reraising AQ and AQs again esp. vs LP raisers. I did this a long time ago and for some reason I started to cold call when they play real easy if I’m ever 4bet.
2) Fix my PFR amount. I was reraising way too much and inconsistently for some reason. I’m keeping it at 3x IP and 3.5x OOP which should be fairly standard.
3) My button play has been negative now 2 days in a row, or for 7k total hands. I’m not doing something right and I need to find out what it is, considering that’s supposed to be my most profitable position.
4) trying to manipulate bet sizing so it works in my favor. i had a couple moments of brilliance today but not enough.
5) opening too many pots then finding myself OOP against players who don’t like to fold to a bet. I either need to 1) open less, 2) barrel more or 3) combination of them. I’m still working on this.
I came back and got in another 1200 hands to break even on the day with a lot more stuff to work on.
