Oh No

A big oh no results-wise, but, honestly, it just does not tell the full story.

I ran $1k below EV at 200nl, suffered a huge cooler for $600 at 600nl, dropped $529 VS a huge megafish with AA in a 4bet pot, suffered ANOTHER massive cooler beat with 55 on AT5 flop VS the fish's T7. yada yada yada.

And in the meantime, I played some pretty good hands. My video narration was all there, and I was happy with virtually all my play, bar perhaps a couple of hands.

The above hand was interesting. First of all the guy snapped PF, which mean I put him on junk rather any premium hand or pair. On the flop, of course the trip 7s might have hit him, but again his loooong timing suggested me to that he didn't have a 7, rather than the opposite. So, couple with his PF timing I called his raise.

Then, on the turn he didn't bet. At this point I was sure that any 7 would bet to protect VS the flush draw. I actually thought it was fairly likely that he'd spiked a J and was looking to pot control.

Then on the river, his overshove made no sense at all. He should perceive my range as JJ+, at least in terms of value betting, so for him to overshove the J here would be strange. A 7 that he played creatively on the turn is still possible, but there's only 1 left after all and I ruled it out on the turn.

I narrated all the above out loud at each stage, allowing me to make the call.

So, I'm not actually unhappy, playing with the same attitude (at STRICTLY 200NL from now on, in fact I swear on Nic's life I will be at 200nl until I put in 20k hands there under grogheadflow, so there) I'm definitely going to win money. Now, to do it.......

Was just about to play, but light headed so time for a quick nap.
