This is a few hours from the end of the final flight of the shrpo $560 1 million guarantee. We're at 500/1000/100 and have a very easy table. Our only annoying spot is a competent player to my immediate left. She does a lot of pot size betting with strong hands and bluffs, especially when stacks were a bit deeper. I spent a lot of time actively trying to figure out what her normal game was, because I don't know any tournament players that use this bet size as the forefront of their strategy. When I picked up chips, she started to leave me alone, and would routinely let me steal her button or cutoff.

She isn't even the relevant villain, but I wanted to give as much info on my table as possible. Most of my table are just loose passive, check/foldy type opponents. This has become especially apparent as stacks have dropped to ~40bb's effective.

Revelant villain is a young Brazillian player covered in 888 poker patches. He and I have not played any pots together, but have routinely acknowledged through eye contact that we knew what the other was doing. I find this happens a lot in live poker, particularly when funny lollivepoker situations comes up. He made a good, albeit simple fold with QQ/KK on an ATx flop that went multiways earlier, and had noticed a flop 3bet I made against a player in the blinds earlier. The table agreed I had AK (I did not), and he and I both laughed about it.

He started opening in early position at 400/800/100 into the blinds (I would be in the cut off, the other good player would be on the button). After a hand went to the river involving him and the big blind, I told the big blind he would probably stop raising his blind if he played more hands. I don't know how to measure this, but I thought this was a good attempt at getting the pro to either slow down on that particular player's blind, allowing me to once again steal from this position without the player adjusting to my own opens. My strategy for my table composition was to ultimately avoid playing pots with the good pro, and 4bet at my first opportunity vs the good player to my left, until she slowed down. My open spots were the hijack, cutoff, and button.

BP opens to 2300, folds to myself in the cutoff with JdJs. My strategy for this table doesn't include me doing a lot of flatting in this spot, though I was prepared to start doing it if BP didn't slow down in the next few orbits. I 3bet to 5100, folds back to BP who thinks for maybe 2 seconds and calls. Because we're still deep, I think he's continuing to all 3bets of this size, be it 4bets or calls. (He's getting 3.46:1, spr to a call is 3.8) I think his range here is amazingly wide. I thought something at the time like (22+, broadway, 76s-86s, 97s-87s, T8s-98s, J9s-T9s, and suited Ax) I think he'd 4bet as a default with at least KK/AA.

I can't figure out how to hide my comments so I'm going to just leave my decision and thoughts out of the post in case a discussion gets going.  What the hell do I do when I have QQ+ here??
