Downward spiral continues Down like 7k today, pretty sick. Today was a 'heavy 3betting' day. It's pretty unreal this downswing right now, though I will be the first admit that I'm making a lot of mistakes too. Some of it is just super bad spots though. If anyone has any thoughts on any hands or anything, feel free to give them! I feel like this is a never ending spiral right now, down $20k this week..... ugh.



Villain in these first few hands is normally pretty tight, but I decided today I was gonna 3-bet a lot lot more. After a while he was calling EVERY SINGLE 3-bet in position and then peeling any piece on any flop.

I probably should have adjusted by 3-betting tighter OOP (and to larger amounts) and still looser in pos, instead
of 3-betting a wide range OOP from the blinds. I should have 3-bet larger amounts to leave room for potsize shoves on the turn, and punish his wide flop peeling range.


This river should probably be a fold after I attempt to value bet my top pair.

This turn shove is pretty awful given that I probably have no FE. I should just flat if I want and shove rivers if I hit. This just shows how light he's peeling, even OOP on this board with two over cards even.

A final hand against a pretty solid regular, who's pretty aggressive. This
turn shove may be a fold, but I was moderately tilted. We hadn't been
playing at each other too much.
