Why 1/3? If he's holding a diamond, we're giving him better odds to call. Shouldn't we be making it more expensive for him so it's less profitable in the long run? That said, I'm not entirely sure why I didn't cbet in the first place.

Ugh. I called and he showed T9o. I tanked for a while and wanted to fold but ended up calling anyway. One of my biggest leaks. Thanks for the response.

Another rough day. Win a huge pot, lose a huge pot. Got dealt AA in the BB and 3bet a btn open. Btn calls, flop is 2hQc5c. Get it all in on the flop and he shows Q2o. Good fun.

Here's my graph for today:

Not amused. Lots to work on. I don't feel like I'm improving at all and break even/losing days just seem to discourage me a lot. I'll keep battling though. Another losing day and I think I'll take a day or two off.

Here's my overall graph:

Still +profit, however that BB/100 isn't getting any better.

Trying to find the hand in PT but I watched him 4bet J8s in the SB vs a BN open and take it to showdown vs AA with TP. Something but I'm glad I played it the way I did.

Took a day off and then went to play in my first every live MTT. Didn't go too well at all.

Managed to get some studying in however. Not loads, but enough. Decided that tonight I was going to play 3k hands, however I quit after 2.1k as I was a little tilted.

Anyway, here's my graph for today:

Up and down. Up again, down again. Not too happy with some of my plays but there's a lot to work on.

Hand from today.

Thanks for the quick responses. I'm not very skilled, I've not long been taking the game seriously. I guess I'll just keep trying to improve and hopefully the stats will follow.

What is an 'average' WSD and WTSD for 6 max?

I'm doubting my game now.

Thanks, Iain.

I think I tend to overvalue my hands a lot more than I should do. The way the action unfolds and the information it gives me is still something I need to learn to pick up, hopefully It'll come naturally through simply playing and noticing patterns over time.

Please ignore my other comment, I thought you were questioning my preflop 5x raise. I misread your comment. Thanks for your take on it. I'm happy with how I played it I just wanted another opinion.

I made it 5x as I was trying to isolate the limper. In the grinders manual, it suggests raising 3x +1 for being OOP and +1 for each limper beforehand. Seems to have worked well so far.

I worded that wrong. I did go on to say it's unlikely he has QT or AT, my bad. Thank you for your analysis. @Montana highlighted that i seem to be raising in spots which I shouldn't which is probably a big leak in my game. Going to focus on that when I have a full session review.

Thank you for your response. Still learning, something to work on.

Hmm, it certainly seems so doesn't it. Thank you, I'll have a look at that.

Terrible, terrible day.

Played around 400 hands drunk and lost about 3 buy ins (Very stupid, I know). Didn't have too much time to play or study today but in the very small amount of hands I played, I just couldn't win. Gonna have to go through my hands tomorrow and see if it's run bad or just pure stupidity. I have a feeling I know which one we're looking at, though.

I haven't looked into any solver work. What exactly is it?

Thank you for the detailed response. Like I said, I'm still learning the math behind it all and I just thought it was an interesting spot which at the time, I thought I played well. I can see that everybody disagrees and thank all who replied. Back to the drawing board.

The pot was $30.3 as the BN had nearly 2x our stack, and therefore the $40.99 you see in the raw hand history isn't accurate, as no matter what happened, around $10 was going back to him. It his $30.3 after the BTN shoved and the SB called.

Why? I'm getting 3-1 on a call with KQs in a multiway pot. The 3-bettor had an 11% 3bet stat which while it isn't huge, it's still somewhat aggro. With the SB calling, I see no reason why I shouldn't see a flop with a hand like KQs. As for the flop, we have the most equity vs most hands in a 3 way pot. We got great odds on a call, why exactly is it a fold?

So I got in a decent amount of volume today after my study time. Not as much as I would have hoped but just over 3k hands. While volume is nice, I think I should still be focusing a little more on studying and reviewing. I'm going through The Grinder's Manual chapter by chapter and then heading to the tables to put what I've just learnt (Along with what I've already learnt) to the test.

Here is my graph as it stands now:

It's been a bit of a rollercoaster. Got it in pre with AA vs KK and he flopped a set. Made a few stupid calls purely out of tilt and had to take a break after that. Came back and just didn't miss a flop. Still not too happy as that line should be much higher, but I've found a few things I need to work on which is progress in itself.

Thank you. I don't focus on them too much; I'm only ever checking them after a session to see exactly how I've done. I'm always reviewing hands too, I've posted a couple here.
