Hi Sven, thanks for visiting my blog.
Well, yes I can post some hands.

Hi,
is it a standard call preflop? what about raising flop?
I actually started winning when turned hud off.

Hi, I study RYE Cash game course and according to their ranges, it is a standard call preflop, even 88 is.
I don't see a point in raising the flop. I have the second-best hand possible. I think I wouldn't get much value from other than Ax hands. And even for Ax hand, my raise might be suspicious. I rather let the villain hang himself/herself. It worked well.
I actually started winning when turned hud off.
I believe that. I'm a bit worried so I don't rush in play with HUD. I'm wondering if I will feel comfortable with HUD. I've set up just a basic one with a number of hands played, VPIP, PFR, 3bet, and Fold to 3bet preflop.
Was villain too ambitious with 55 ??
My plan was to 4bet/fold preflop

How to study it? It's paid or?
Is their chart(ranges) for micro stakes? Cos there is less 3bets at micro.
My point would be to deny equity of KK/QQ/JJ/TT which are drawing turn for free with not much intention to invest in pot unimproved.
But I know most of players would disagree here w me.

Yes, it's paid.
I have an old one - the Elementary Cash course. It's no longer available.
Now they have this new course https://www.raiseyouredge.com/cash with more study materials.
I plan to upgrade to this new one when I get to NL25 maybe at NL10. But the old one is still very sufficient for me.
If you want to start for free, you can find many valuable materials on RYE YT channel, in RYE newsletters and! ...
Next week starts this -

Was villain too ambitious with 55? Sure
But what about hero? What makes you think AJ is a awesome hand to 4bet? Would you also post the hand if you get a call to your 4bet and villain in the showdown shows you AK?
On a positive note, you might get folds from Pocket Pairs as high as JJ, i guess a small win for you.

Hi Sven, technically I played from CO vs SB, and AJo is in my 4bet/fold range. I got this range from RYE course.
In case the villain would show AK I wouldn't post the hand because that would be just a cooler. I think I played this hand against the villain's range reasonably.

without reads 4-betting AJo doesn't seem great here. OTF Idk if you would have any checking range at all on an Ace-high flop, your probably supposed to bet your entire range on this flop.
I'm 4beting here aswell, though I cbet, but check seems fine, there's not much worse calling a cbet.

Hey, thank you!
Long journey ahead of us
I've reached my goal of $200 so here comes the HUD.
I will report how it affects my play.
So even I set it up before, when I play on 4 tables my HUD is messed up. It's displayed by other players. When I try to move it, I move by all 4 HUDs but the hud placement is different at every table. I don't know how to fix it, yet. I will ask at support. And what I didn't find out earlier is when I have a hud at the tables my hotkeys don't work.
I've started to add a zoom table to my session. I'm now more disciplined so it goes well and even I have a higher profit there.
I didn't want to play at zoom tables before because I was usually very spewy and played badly. It's all about discipline.
I've tried to add two zoom tables to 4 regular tables but it's too much. It works contrary. I felt far early and far more exhausted by playing.
