Took the first 4 days of the month off to review some videos/hands, and got some life stuff done. Finalized the apartment which was a big relief. Still need to book a flight/car for vegas, which I keep putting off. Grinding the last 2 days and I seem to be back on track. Running well and playing well (5/5 winning sessions this month!). Already 5k hands in 2 days, so well on my pace for ~40k hands again. I'm finding that ~1k hands is a good session length for me 2-tabling HU. Overall pretty happy with my game. Going to make some videos and grind a lot this weekend.

Note: Someone asked about what type of spots to study (from last blog) in the frequency exercise. It really doesn't matter as long as you find the study valuable/improves your thinking. Big pots bring a lot of EV, but also don't forget that most pots are small/medium, and you want to win all of those. Some suggestions

- 3-bet pots when you check as the aggressor (in and OOP)
- 4-bet pots when they flat (more applicable to hu)
- 3-bet pots IP as the non-aggressor. Look at c-bet/2barrel frequencies. And value 3 barrel ranges
- 3-barrel spots raised pots. Lower stakes players miss a lot of profitable 3-barrel opportunities. Remember when you rep strong hands the same line will also work as a bluff. Think in terms of what range villains get to rivers with, and punish them if they have too many weak hands
- Playing OOP raised pots when flop is checked (when to donk, c/r etc)
- River when the first 2 streets are checked (lots of bluff opportunities against predictable opponents who never check decent hands 3 times)
- Turn when you get c/r on the flop
- c/r the river when the turn gets checked (and flop is bet)

I could list 20 more cool spots but that should get you started.
