Sup LP, going to try and write up weekly reviews of the weeks play. Results wise, nothing significant since the 2nd place in the 500 cap tourney last week.
A few deep runs but two things end up happening, well actually 3 things;
1) I open from LP with a hand like 89s, get called from blinds and flop 4K4, and i donk check it, turn a 9 and he donks two streets into me and I call thinking he is bullshit and he turns up with KQ, and i hate my life, and am down to 15bbs and proceed to go out not long after that
2) I similarly open from LP with AJo with 26bb, vs active blinds, and get called and flop is Q67r and i cbet and he c/r me and i hate my life and fold, and then proceed to dwindle away becuase the table has gone beserk and i just cant find any spots.
3) I probably start pushing a bit too much, take some blinds then someone decides to call me and we both have live cards and i fail. But you know, I have always learned that I should be pushing 15bb from alot of positions and def reshoving with very good hands.
Just cant seem to get a break when I am running deep. I think I am playing it wrong or something. I dunno. Been watching vids, have recorded myself play and talk (helps me focus) and watch it back to pick up on things i missed etc. I have had a hand review session with a coach and am constantly questioning plays from not me, but from others at the table etc.
I have adjusted my sleep so I am more intune with ET time zone, as alot of the good micro tourneys with smaller fields start after midnight GMT. I have been working my way through alot of non poker strategy videos, including Tommys vid series, Pokersense and Shuffle and Flow.
I am considering uploading some videos of me playing live, but with the nature of MTTs not alot can happen and it does get quite tiring talking to yourself for a deep run! If anyone is interested in checking it out, let me know.
Villain is 24/8 ver 40 hands, and I feel he opens with a tight range. I call because we are deep and I have position and I say he plays pretty straight forward postflop. Raise turn size was to set myself up to shove any non club turn. I felt If I just jammed it all i fold out all hands that I could get alot of value from. Club turn and he snap checks. Stack sizes on river are 2.4k. Can we ever bet here?

This might be really nitty here, but I dont think hes 3betting here with weaker hands i dominate, and i hate calling this oop. I have been pretty nitty, like 14/12/40 - so my UTG range here has to be pretty tight.
He could of course have no conception of my range and opening %s. I dunno I think I should at least flat here and see a flop. Just his stack size is so awkward.
Is this an ok spot to flat with AQo here, or should we be raising to stop people squeeze shoving in the blinds? UTG opener had been pretty active, so i flatted thinking I could prob get alot of value if I did hit a flop. But I don' think I took who was behind me into consideration. Is this an ok spot to flat and fold to short shove?

Been listening to alot of really nice chilled out music these days from artist/composers like Jon Hopkins, Max Ricter, Solar Fields and Ott. Good shit to listen to while you grinding, cuz its not too melodic, and is very ambient relaxed. Helps me keep calm and focused for sure.
I also have fallen in love with this song - very addictive;
