200nl? 43?

Not to sure tbh as I have been mainly just fitting in sessions whenever I can because I have no daycare this week. Luckily I have a nice fam who is willing to help. Anyways just took my 1st shot at 200NL and felt very comfortable. All was going well till this gem.

Mini 3bet?
~I have taken to folding a bit more with marginal hands in these spots given the rev implied odss but this is a no brainer imo. I obviously flop the nuts and when he chx I moan and bet thinking he has TT-KK. When he check ships the turn I fist pump call knowing he will show AK a ton but in the back of my mind thinking AA really? Instead I am spot on but he binks it. I honestly didnt blink too much but opted to call it a session and keep my head high.

1st hand of my 200NL shot
~It appears this shot may go well. I wasnt super stoked on the preflop call but feel I have to make it. Turn is pretty standard given the fact that this guy was a drooler and the board can get crappy. SHIP IT!

Nothing else very exciting occured. Basically i plan to play 200NL when the games look juicy and keep plugging away at 100NL as well. I just want to keep playing good solid ass poker and improving. As long as I avoid spew I should do well. Oh a big big key for me has simply been table/seat selection. I only sit if there is a mark and I will stand and wait if the player on my direct left is good enough to alter my play.

AHHHHHHH I am behind by a shit ton. Things have been going great but I am lacking in the productivity department. Only thing I can say is I am making good choices as to when to play and when not to which has helped reduce tilt/spew and increase my win rate. Ony thing is the hand volume isnt exactly where I want it to be. roughly 13k hands in 13 days. Not terrible but given that I am off for the next three days I will have some major ground to make up come Monday.

On a high note I am nearing a shot at 200NL which I am determined to make a successful one. My plan is to play mainly at night to begin with when the games are at there softest and mainly 3 table.

Now for some hands.

Theme of these posts, villain mashes pot!

I has 2 per
~Villain had just min donk called turn when I pc a TP on a wet board then chx the 4 straight riv with the btm end. Here he leads pot which probably means strength, how strong though? Flop is an easy call the turn is where it gets sticky. He has a 9 here sometimes or a set but I also believe he can have 76/87/OP. My plan was to call turn and evaluate on the riv. His bet sizing leads me to calling though I am not insanely thrilled. Thing is it looks alot like a blocker and not like a VB from a 9. Ship it! Thoughts are welcomed.

I flop top per.
~Villain is different then 1st hand but another monkey. Flop again seems pretty standard. Turn is another of those spots where I am good a decent % have equity and dont expect this guy to fire a third without having it ever. My read was right.

I has top per take 2.
~Same guy as the last hand except this time we have a read. Well we have 2 reads actually. I saw him pot lead a weak A and go broke vs another donk for 45BB so he can do this with a worse Ax hand imo. 2nd read was that he fires twice and gives up. Question is does he follow that pattern with a weak TP hand? TBH I think I can find a river fold except one problem occured I was chatting. Villain had started berating me in chat after the last hand and I was typing away not focusing on the game and my reads. I have blocked chat again. Truth is chat is not productive for me period.

My biggest hand this month.
~Treet bet pots can be fun. Villain had been tree betting a ton and our stacks make preflop an easy call. TBH this hand seems really fucking standard though I think in times past I would call river rather then ship.
