lol. Correct. Although Hand 2 played out as I planned it with my read - from a FToP perspective I think it's better than living in fear of a flush/bd flush. Hand 1 and 3 just stink.

But I also hope you appreciate that one of the problems with moving up is that you play standard spots in a horrible way because the bet-sizing is scary, the players are better, ranges are different to lower games and so generally speaking it is very easy to become disorientated. This is why we make stupid mistakes when we take shots. I look now at the turn bet size in Hand 1 and have no idea what I was thinking lol. Such a simple spot. Bizarre.

And fwiw, I posted these hands fully aware how foolish they'd make me look, but you either report on shots truthfully or not at all. Next shot: I have a better understanding that there is no need to play my premium hands differently to how I would have done at my normal game. So hopefully I won't make these mistakes again. This is the essence of poker development - trying to knock out one mistake at a time.

Munkey and HBomb, thanks for encouragement.
