75K hands in 11 days is [censored] amazing. You'd probably be close to elite if you did that the whole year at the .50/1.

This happens when you are new to getting aggressive early. You find it difficult to ease off after the flop when you really should be pot controlling for medium hands, and check/folding unmade hands when the villain isn't the type to give it up easily


Is this true in your case, ya think?

Might be. I think I am CB'ing too many flops now. My flop AF was giving me the little oo sign after a couple of sessions. Other times it was around 10. Worked good the first 2 days, as I hit quite a few flops hard and got paid off. MY AF is still too low I believe on the turn/river.

I still wasn't playing a ton of hands. My normal sucky stats usually run around 12/5/1.5. For those two days I ran good they were 11/9/2.
