So yesterday sucked pretty solidly. I don't think I played too bad at all, but lost quite a bit at 2/5 pounds and ended up down 7kish.

One of my reoccuring mistakes was 4-betting AK and getting flatted by an OOP player. Then with maybe a bit more than potsize bet left, I'd just jam any flop and they'd undoubtedly call with any pair since the flop had no A or K on it. My logic was that I have to b/c if I bet so might as well jam. I think my default instead should be to just check flop in position, and fold turn if missed.

Here are some of my 2/5 pounds hands:

Hand 1:
-Always good to start a hand with Alexos
-I know he's capable of squeezing light so I 4-bet small here to hopefully either induce a shove from hands like A4-A6s which I know he loves or to just allow me to 4-bet bluff small here in the future
-it's a marginal spot for sure either way

Hand 3:
-I'm interested in thoughts on this hand
-this is the type of player that also calls a ton of 3-bets and peels all low boards and folds all A/K high type boards. So I think that flatting hands like AQ/AK against this player is sometimes best
-once I c/r flop can I really fold to bomb ever?

Hand 4:
-meh dumb hand.. had 4-bet this guy twice already and thought he might even ship it in pre light given how deep we were. I should probably
start sizing my 3-bets/4-bets better to stacksizes
-postflop staaaaaandard
