First session - off to a great start

So, I implemented some things in my game that really paid off. I cut down on tables and played six tables where I really opened up my LP and SB opening range. I ran at 22/19 with a 3bet of 5.2, which is a bit low, but I didn't really get that many good 3bet spots. Overall, I played very well and ended up 3 BIs over 933 hands.

 

I made a couple of bad plays:

CO: €12.06
Hero (BTN): €10.00
SB: €6.32
BB: €8.28
UTG: €7.84
MP: €25.48

SB posts SB €0.05, BB posts BB €0.10

Pre Flop: (€0.15) Hero has 3c Ac

fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to €0.30, SB calls €0.25, BB calls €0.20

Flop: (€0.90, 3 players) 3d 7d 4h
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets €0.60, SB calls €0.60, fold

Turn: (€2.10, 2 players) 4c
SB checks, Hero bets €1.40, SB calls €1.40

River: (€4.90, 2 players) As
SB bets €4.02 and is all-in, Hero calls €4.02

Hero shows 3c Ac (Two Pair, Aces and Fours) (PreFlop 64%, Flop 63%, Turn 77%)
SB shows 2c 5c (Straight, Five High) (PreFlop 36%, Flop 37%, Turn 23%)
SB wins €12.30

 

Here I think that betting flop and turn is pretty good against a 48/13, but I definitely should've folded river, I'm not beating anything and he has lots of better aces in his range. This is a sticking point for me, I need to learn to fold more in these spots instead of leveling myself into calling because "he's probably trying to win the pot with a busted FD".

BB wins €9.74

 

This is just straight up spewtard against spewtard megaspew. I hate my play in this hand, and I need to remind myself not to do this kind of plays without a good reasoning behind it, which I didn't have when playing

UTG wins €8.01

 

This is also a hand where I just didn't have any reasoning behind my play. Villain was completely unknown, but I should've 3bet pre. I had no idea where I was at any point in the hand, and the donk is just beyond awful. I should've c/c flop after not 3betting pre and gone for pot control, but being OOP just sucks and underlines the fact that I should've 3bet pre

Villain is 27/13 and pretty bad, but pretty face up post flop. I obv didn't have odds to call, but did anyway, which cost me 40bb

 

Those were the biggest losing hands beside losing AK to AQ and KQ respectively AI pre for a total of 70bb, so all in all I'm pretty happy about getting a great start to my new beginning!
