After a lot of time of others irl things i return to cash game.
A lot of time ago i made a bunch of videos for pokerstrategy.it, sadly the community is practically dead and it's impossible to find there any valuable or interesting discussion.
I would like to use this space to find the right motivations to keep grinding.
I re-started with nl50 on stars.it, right now it's going well, but there is still room for improvement.
The 4 tables limitation is a big problem for the amount of hands per month, but anyway let's see how far that goes :)

This was fun.
Villain is a 43/13, raise F cbet in 3bp = 50% (3/6).
I doubt a reg would ever call the turn shove 210 bb eff., it's why a single fish could save the day, still in 2019

Fixing some lines. There is much room for improvement, mainly facing 3bet. It's what i'm studying right now.

Villain is a "reg" (sadly for him not the smartest one).
Obviously his range is 90% pocket pairs and maybe 10% small suited connectors, it's why my plan is simply to check the turn to overshove the river (having the Jd limits his random FDs). When he surprisingly bets the turn either he is overplaying his small PPs or he has 44, 98s, 87s. I have no reaons to shove and i let him bet.

The lesson is: don't flat poket pairs from MP and CO, it doesn't make any sense

Here, vs fish, the lesson is always the same: don't size small being afraid to make him fold, go for the stack, every single time.
