Alright well I'm almost at my first goal of playing 15k more hands @ 25nl, I have a few thousand more to go and then I will have a 50k sample @ 6-max

After some review I found out that I was losing a lot of money by just flatting raises from the blinds facing LP openers. I have since focused on either folding or 3-betting 4x their open from the blinds, and have found that it is obviously much more profitable then playing OOP without the initiative.

I was wondering though if there were any situations where flatting would be acceptable from say the bb facing a 20/15 button open. I'm thinking since the button has such a wide range it may be better to call hands that play poorly in 3-bet pots OOP, like Q-10, Q-J suited etc, I'm not really sure what hands are correct or if there are any at all to flat button raises with. Maybe will start a topic in the BC or something later.

Anyways here's a garph of today's session, played 3 hours 6-tabling but many were not full tables, I think I was actually playing "3-max" at like 3 tables for over an hour due to fishiness.




Some note-worthy hands I'm not gonna put in the converter:
1) I 3-bet called a shove from sb with AQ vs maniac button's 10-10 and lost
2) I 3-bet called shove from bb with 99 against even bigger maniac with J-3 from sb and lost
3) Raised UTG with AQhearts and just called bb's donks on 3 streets on As-6h-5h-Kd-Kc he had 55

My favorite hand of the session, Villain was crazy maniac aggro:

He had

Finally, a hand where I think could use improvement, I really don't know what to think of this hand. I'm always confused when I get c/r'ed with overpairs on drawy boards. I had been 3 betting villain and taking down pots with c-bets, so I think he may have been getting fed up. I think the flop call of the c/r is OK... but I think I definitely should have bet the turn and maybe even folded the river. His line is just so weird though...

villain is playing like 83/17 over 150, but even players like these c/r usually means the goods.
