I think that he fold here river but I get call.

The first screenshot is just sick, you made it unprofitable to call and thats all you can do. Maybe you could have done an overbet? I think sometimes to protect your hand then an overbet is needed when fishes dont want to use maths.

Nice profit on the second hand though!

I think NL2 is tough because it’s demoralising. Once you get over the fact people will make plays that make 0 sense then it’s quite easily to be profitable by playing ABC poker haha

I dont think I was aggressive enough this session. The hands I were aggressive with against those with loose ranges, they were hitting like miracles. Nevertheless, it's another profitable session despite it being a 2 hour one and not a win rate that I'm happy with for that time frame.

You can see the moment my aggression slowed down, was when I called an all in with poor equity. It's quite annoying because I folded a hand I would have won because of a donk going all in when I was trying to isolate a bigger donk but I did get his money in the end.

That sometimes is so sick how people win 500bb in table when he plays very funny poker.
On ggpoker this ggcare is sometimes unfair, this time I get ticket to ggcare but i'm another hand when I get set and only lose vs straight (of course fish must get straight after call T6 on small blind preflop) I don't get.
And sometimes I meet players which donkbet on multiway but fold to raise.
LiamXii I sometimes when I play vs fish after for example catch set on dry board I pot size bet flop and on blank turn puts overbet all in.

Another good day in the office tonight. I had a rough start, just couldn't get the aggression with my made hands and getting resistance to my semi bluffs but the patience paid off in the end. Have some pretty good hands to show from this session as well...

Hand Analysis 1 - dont we love it when you make the perfect play, when it should have been completely wrong under normal circumstances

It's hands like this which is killing my estimated all in equity because I've adopted a very tight hyper aggressive play style. I knew without a shadow of a doubt, I could get this guy tilted enough, that he would go all in with just top pair, any kicker on the flop and it turned out to be right. I used the little emotions and threw enough toilet paper his way, that he made a fatal mistake haha
What do you guys think about this type of play? too risky?

Hand Analysis 2 - for some reason I never consider the possibility we both have the same hand..

So with this hand, He was the first aggressor with 3x raise. I then reraised him to a 4 bet. He called. Then on the flop the aggression started. I can almost guarentee that he had a pocket pair at this point. I didn't really think he had KK despite it being possible and if he had AA then I would expect he would have reraised, same goes for KK. So I called just incase he did have 10 10. After he called, I was certain I was against QQ and he wouldn't fold to any bet and just trapping. Now after seeing the result, I feel stupid that I didnt bet to get him off the hand. Anyone else think they would have called for sure here? Looking back, on the river when he checked, I should have bet hard. The worst case, we would be chopping as I ruled out AA or KK. This was a very stupid play of mine. Lesson learnt.

Now $190 away from my graduation to NL25
