New Plan

I had a shitty session at 200nl this morning where I spewed about 2-3 buyins with poor play. Nothing horrible, but a 3bet here and there and wasn't necesary. Stacking off with TPTK vs a regulars flop checkraise when his range is air, flushdraws and sets, something that can be okay, but on this texture and vs this specific guy it was definitly -EV. And one or two flop bluff raises that wern't quite necessary - I find with spots like this if you pick them really well they are great but they can quickly become spew if you are not careful. What I mean by this is there are usually 2-3 major factors to evaluate when considering making a play like this ie: villan stats, my actual cards, current image and all three basically have to be perfect to run the play. For example villan has a 60% fold cbet to raise stat and I only need a fold 45% of the time for the bluff to show a profit, my hand contains a blocker to part of his continuing range, and maybe some backdoor potiental, and I have a clean solid image. If all this is in place run the bluff - but if even one of the factors isn't quite there, ie he only folds cbet to raise 40% , or my hand has no backdoor equity or blockers, or i just got stacked 3 hands ago so he could think im steaming, then its a pass and wait till the spot is perfect. Same idea for 4bet bluffing..

When I play bad I often run these plays despite a sketcy factor, its a small but costly error.

So for the next while when I determine I make this mistake in a 200nl session, my next playing session will automatically be at 100nl. If I make the mistake again at 100nl I stay there for the next session, if I don't I go back to 200nl and so on..
