Well I can't figure out for the life of me how to upload multiple hands into my blog, and since nobody reads my blog anyways I guess it doesn't matter, I can just talk about what happened and what I have learned

I ran into this rough situation a couple of times and made the worst play both times, and each time it cost me a stack. A donkey opens in LP, and they've got a real low fold to 3bet percentage and I look down at AK. I obv. 3bang but it blows cause I know they are going to call then what if I don't connect with the flop? They might not have either, but I am not getting much respect in 3bet pots so I decided to c/r AI which I think is the worst option. Not many hands are going to get bet folding here. I need to just cbet rather big and don't worry about owning myself with that bet. Sure not many worse hands are going to call, but I can't c/c myself, and c/r really owns myself. So I just have to suck it up here and cbet big and hope to take it down, and if I get raised o well nh, and if they call me I have 6 outs and they likely won't bet on the turn with an underpair.

The next hand I hit trips w a 10 kicker and a reg took a slow play line with trips A kicker and got me call off my whole stack on the river. The one spot I messed up is on the flop, he cbet into a 4way pot, and I called w tp 10 kicker telling myself, "well you can't fold" the monicker that keeps me away from playing great. Then on the river he c/r'd AI and there was just nothing that I was beating. I CAN"T BE CALLING ON THE RIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats a huge leak in my game keeping me from moving up throught the limits the Dang bros said it themselves.
QUIT CALLING ON THE RIVER!!!!!!!!!!! It's losing me so much money that it's ridiculous. Anytime I am thinking about calling I really need to take my time and put him on a full hand range and I better be fucking right or I will be heated!


When I am planning on taking a big bluff line that I usually take I need to stop and consider what better hands I would actually make fold. If I am not repping anything and they will prolly look me up light with this line then I need to def not take it and risk an entire BI or close to it. Reconsider to normal lines that I take, they have to be dynamic and I can't just decide what line I am going to take on the flop or pre flop.

It is a very good idea to have an idea of what you want to do and be prepared for what might happen, but it is not good to say I have to take this line and not even consider what cards come. So have an idea of what you want to do, but only if certain cards come. And if those cards don't come don't get frustrated and freak out and think that you still have to take that line and get all your money in. Holdem is a boring game I have to sit around and wait for my spots.

cliffnotes
-With AK OOP after 3betting against players that call wide always cbet and give up w A high
-NO FUCKING CALLING ON THE RIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Carefully consider what lines you take, remember they must be dynamic to your opponant and what cards come.
