Thanks for the thorough feedback, John. I appreciate it and will apply to my game. A few thoughts/questions:
I contemplated leading out on the KJss, sometimes I do vs don’t. Appears I need to be more consistent there. I figured by checking, I would see strength vs weakness of opponent and call as I’m not going anywhere initially with that flop. If I had led into him with a draw and I don’t improve on the turn or river, what betting action would you find fitting for those streets?
For 55, agreed I should have bet or jammed. I was somewhat trying to go under the radar as the solid player to my left was playing TAG, and I wanted to trap a bit – but obviously went south.
Also had AA once with a raise and a 3-bet to $22 in front of me. I make it $40 and both fold fairly quickly. $30-$50 pre was decently common in this session. Snagged $35 which wasn’t my intent as I was hoping for action there at a slightly bigger pot while weeding out marginal hands that could crack AA.
