BTN: $108.02
Asimos (SB): $131.00
Hero (BB): $100.00
UTG: $119.58
MP: $100.00
CO: $100.00

Pre Flop: ($1.50) Hero is BB with Q 4
4 folds, SB raises to $2.04, Hero calls $1.04

Flop: ($4.08) 7 7 Q (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($4.08) 5 (2 players)
SB bets $2.41, Hero calls $2.41

River: ($8.90) 5 (2 players)
SB bets $16, Hero folds

I didn't look at the SB's name until I folded ♦
I thought sb was unknown, so 2pot is probably big value vs BB fish.
Then I thought that it's asimos that over bluffs for the red line, but I'm feeling like nl100 players won't "hero-fold" enough Qx here. So this is a somewhat balanced red-line 2pot bet?

I'm ok with folding Q4o and having enough 7x/5x to call with.

Red line - refinement
I spent last 2 months studying poker. Oh yeah, I haven't done this so excessively for a while.
I find the results of solvers interesting at many spots. More and more people seem to be using them, still, most people follow their results blindly and miss-use or interpret wrong their findings. They called the gto people :f_drink::f_drink:.

Last month I focused mostly on red line game. To me, it was an obstacle in the past. Not anymore.
This was my second review of this spot recently.
Feels so nice to know exactly why your red line goes up or down. To be able to measure it. To know which spots produce a given or the other result.
At this stage, I am sure that if your red line goes massively down, you can achieve for sure a better win rate. Today's games differ in comparison to the past.

400nl Experiments

Took a break from fast tables and shot a little higher. Just a random session... I realized that I need a lot more time than usual to make 1K hands... but my red line was flat so who(hook)cares:f_drink::f_drink::f_drink::f_drink:

Everyone at this table is crazy!!!
