Week 3: Heater

Bankroll after week 3: £836.25

It’s been a while since I’ve played 10k hands in 2 days! I was very pleased with how I played each session (obviously it’s easier to have a good mindset when you have a nice run..). Great start to the month 🙂

I’m aiming to play another 10k hands next week.

Button was 10/9 over 500 hands. I like to check the flop here more than most players because I don’t want to bet/fold the flop too much on a board where he’s likely to play back a lot. On the river, I didn’t believe he would call KJs here preflop, so that leaves his range as 99/air with occasional QQ/TT (discounted heavily because I have a Q and his betsizing on flop and turn) and against that range I have to call, even considering his nitty preflop stats.

Villain was 20/16 over 100 hands. I think I should raise the flop here on a board with a flush draw. Nice result though 🙂
