I have been owning myself.

My hugest leak, I imagine I am not alone here, is tangling with good regs and making huge bluffs that aren't necessary. Once I plug this leak and simply focus on making slid reads and owning donks life will be good at the tables. I know you want to see my spews so let me get to it.


Villain is a self proclaimed AP crusher who runs at 25/21/3 and is 3bet happy. To be honest he hasnt been too out of line vs me. I knew before I opened in this hand he was going to 3bet me and the solution is to simply fold preflop. Instead I decided to 4bet because of my read. He snap calls my 4bet and I hit a favorable flop vs his range to cbet. The turn is where I make a huge spew as I froze up and didnt think about villains range at all. This is an easy c/f imo as he should never be betting worse, you could argue a crai or c/c but I dont like either of those options. The only thing to take away from the hand I guess is that he isnt 3betting that light but my 4bet was +EV imo as AJ is a fold vs a 4bet.

Villain is 21/15/2 I couldnt resist a sqz here but I should have. I played the hand perfect except for my bet sizing and I think this play works alot if I set the turn bet up right.

I still own souls now and again.

Villain is 24/18/2.6 I have been c/f these flops alot and I decided I needed to get a c/r in. He should fire here alot imo. When the turn Q comes he calls real quick which leads me to believe he has a Q as his 1p hands are betting the flop imo I could lead the river and hope he raises but crai is so sexy and he is going to have a hell of a time folding.
