Yeah, I thought so too so did. Ran into the top of btns range (99), but then again if he limp/calls 99 he might with TT/JJ and theres lots of 9x, 56, 78, even maybe 77/88 given neither are very good. UTG+1 was about as expected with A4o, although ironically if btn had folded fish would have hit trip 4s on the river anyway.

Played a heap of poker yesterday. Lost just over 4 buyins which kind of sucks, but not too down on it. I really felt like most of the time I was playing great poker. First short session I just hit a bunch of coolers/beats. Then I played about a 4hr session of 3 tabling. Felt good though, break even for most of it, then ran rough right at the end. Probably should have stopped earlier, but meh. AA v K3o on K high flop hits trips on river. QJ gets flatted by AA pf and 60bb stack just calls down on AQQ flop. Set on turn runs into ugliest river ever and need to fold to psb shove. All in about minutes.

Been doing the stuff I said I'd do. Playing only a few tables, and really thinking about ranges and stuff. Man, its the first time in ages I've really felt like my games been revolutionised. Even though I'm down, I'm really pumped about whats happenning with my game atm. I bought a BFP sub and its been just awesome. Some vids arent super, but already a few so far have just been amazing. Combined with advice in chats with Griffey and DaGoat its really openned my eyes up. Tbh some of it is stuff those guys have been trying to get through to me before, but for some reason its really clicking now and I'm getting it. Cant thank those guys enough for being patient and really working stuff through with me. There are times people say "this is good" or "this is bad" but I dont really get why. They've taken the time to give me indepth rundowns on why and even go beyond that point to even further help my game.

I've been taking a lot of notes and writing down example hands, even jotting down some of the hands I post where people have good advice on what I should have done instead. Same with the vids, I watch them with my notepad and pen ready. I dunno, if you look back through my Op you'll see me talk about doing this stuff off and on a fair bit, but for some reason I'm finally doing it. Maybe I had to hit a real bottom in my confidence to force a change?

So month is going fairly poorly, but again I'm not too upset. It kind of feels like paying a price to improve my game.
