What I'm up to lately - a quick status update

A few things I've been thinking about / doing lately:

• Had a Leakfinder session with Mpethy.  I think it was very successful; he helped find a bunch of leaks which will likely increase my winrate.  A few of the holes:
• Dump or limp 22-66 in UTG & EP positions instead of raising.  I have accordingly adjusted by limping small pocket pairs in those positions and folding to a raise.  Also, I am raising KQ and [sometimes] AJs.  Raising KQ makes sense: there are 5 hands that dominate KQ - 4 of which are usually 3 betting.  I actually really like and prefer limping the small pocket pairs from early position - a lot of the time, it acts as a delayed steal when it folds around to the SB / BB.  The flop can be any texture and betting $1.50 into a $2.85 pot usually is enough to take it down.  FWIW, I'm also limping suited connectors.
• I was calling steals with small pocket pairs and decent hands that out-range a steal.  I should either be 3betting or folding to a steal in that spot rather than flat and play the rest of the hand out of position. 
• I am leaking money from the CO by either calling too many 3 bets or cbetting too much.  I need to stop stealing as much from the CO; reduce my range to a smaller range than the BTN.  I also need to stop flatting 3bets in position.
• Had a coaching session with SplitSuit.  A few things learned there in particular to specific hand situations.  Nothing earth-shattering or game changing.
• One note that I had was raise-sizing.  I am playing around with changing my raise sizes; prior to now, I was raising 3.5x from EP & MP positions and 3x from CO & BTN.  I am now raising 3x from all positions.  He suggested raising even as low as 2x from EP such that I can profitably call a 3bet because the raise pot 3bet would raise to 8BBs or so, less than 10% stacks of a full 100BB stack.  There does not seem to be a discernible difference in calls / 3bets from 3.5x down to 3x.  It also makes the pot a bit easier to play OOP, post flop, because the pot size is a bit smaller.  FYI, I am still keeping to the formula of 4x + 1BB per limper for raised pots; therefore a raise after one limper would be to $5.
• I am note-taking on showdown hands and off-normal behavior.  Prior to my coaching session, I was taking a note on overall play (i.e. tagging a player as green for LAG, making them easily identifiable prior to sitting down).  Now I am detailing their 3bets, what they're showing down, and what they're calling to my 3bets.
• Try out 3betting an aggressive player (18/15, etc.) in position more, with lesser hands such as JTs and take a note on their reaction.  I haven't implemented this yet; I'm a bit scared to "random" 3bet a tight-ish player, but I leave it as room for growth.  FWIW, I tried 3betting in a random position last night and induced a fold.
• I've been playing 100NL solely this month.  I'm currently finding it easier than 50NL.
• There seems to be far more loose, aggressive players there - and when they try to make a "play," it usually does not make sense; i.e. they bluff in spots where they are so polarized to nuts / air with a heavy weighting towards air.
• The aggression at 100NL is a step up from 50NL.
• I'm getting squeezed FAR more often.  I emailed SplitSuit about this problem, and maybe the readers have an opinion.  There are two occasions where I'm squeezed:
• I open with 77-JJ from the UTG, EP positions and get 1 or more callers.  A 10/7 or 8/8 -type player with a 3.5% 3bet always seems to 3bet my $3 open (with $7.5-$10 in the pot already after the 1 - 2 additional callers) to $15-$18 from the SB / BB spots.
  
  What am I expected to do here?  Is there something obvious I'm missing?  I've been opting to fold, but this seems like a HUGE profitable spot for SB / BB squeeze with literally any two cards.  I think the choice is to either 4bet or fold; I think flatting is bad, even with position.  By the time SB/BB 3bets, the pot is now about $35.  If I 4bet him, I'm 4betting to $25-30, but this seems HUGELY bluffy - declaring I don't have AA, KK, making a 5bet (bluff or not) shove very easy and profitable.  I feel like a 4bet is committing a TON of money with a marginal hand that could be dominated already.  Am I going through a weird stretch where these players are luckboxing with cards, or is this standard?
• Similarly, I flat / set-mine with 22-TT from a later position to an EP's 3x open.  Whether or not there are additional callers, the SB / BB who is a 12/10 10/7, etc. with a 6%+ 3bet always seems to 3bet up to a similar $15-18.  I am asking the same questions as above, other than the fact that I am not the original aggressor.
  
  First, should I be opting to 3bet the original EP raise instead of over-calling?  Second, this is a much different spot, where I cannot reasonably expect to 4bet because I would have 4bet prior to it getting to the would-be squeezer.
•  Usually, in both cases, the original raiser will wind up folding and all others will drop like dominoes, resulting in a nice payday for the squeezer.  HELP!!!
• Once I got over the fact that I'm playing a lot more money on the table, which was contributing to my weak play, I realize that I have a solid game at the 100NL level - I am definitely competitive.
• I dropped from 9 tables (at 50NL) to 6 tables (at 100NL) - still more overall money on the table, but not double.  I don't know whether I will add tables in the future; the quality of my decisions seems to be a lot better than what I would be doing in a 9 table session.  I think the 6 table format reduces time pressures and allows me more time to make better decisions.
• I am table selecting better, as a result of my more frequent note-taking.  With Full Tilt's auto-waitlist feature, where I can automatically add myself to every table and accept / decline the tables as they become available, I can hunt out tables where I either don't have a note / tag on the player or are marked green, and decline tables with "red" tags.
• What else?  I'm building up a brick-n-mortar library.  I have a HUGE selection of ebooks, but very few tangible, paper books.  I've always thought the idea of having at least some of the classics is a cool idea, so I've been buying books on ebay as they come available.  A few of the books I've purchased so far on my "spree":
• Super System Limited Edition (hard cover) - Doyle Brunson ($17.00 + free shipping)
• Super System 2 Limited Edition (hard cover) - Doyle Brunson ($10.50 + free shipping)
• Professional No-Limit Hold 'em: Volume I - Ed Miller, Matt Flynn, Sunny Mehta ($7.53 + $3.38 s/h) - The best intermediate poker book on the market IMO.
• Elements of Poker - Tommy Angelo ($12.50 + $4.00 s/h) - A great read on the game outside of the table.
• Caro's Book of Poker Tells - Mike Caro ($12.51 + $4.00 s/h)
• Ace on the River - Barry Greenstein ($10.01 + $2.00 s/h)
• Check-Raising the Devil - Amy Calistri, Mike Matusow ($10.01 + $2.00 s/h)
• The Mathematics of Poker - Bill Chen ($5.50 + $4.00 s/h)
• Sit 'n Go Strategy - Colin Moshman ($10.01 + $2.95 s/h) - I'm currently reading this; I am told that this is the bible on SNG tournaments.  So far, so good.
• Harrington on Hold'em Volume 1 - Dan Harrington, Bill Robertie ($7.03 + $2.25 s/h)
• Harrington on Hold'em Volume 2 - Dan Harrington, Bill Robertie ($6.55 + $2.25 s/h)
  
  $140 in 9 books...  Why do I obsess about owning possessions like this?  Add to that a purchase of 1 year of Card Player magazine for $15, and I've spent more on indirect poker training this year than all other years combined.  WTF?
•  That's all for now.  I'm hoping to get a few constructive comments on the squeeze issue that I'm running into.  I don't think I have a particularly high fold to 3bet or what, but it just seems like such a profitable play!  Figure that you're looking at a pot of $7-$10 and you risk $16-18 to win $7-10.  You need to win 2 out of 3 times to be profitable there, right?  From what I've seen, these squeezers are winning far more than 2 out of 3 times!
• One final thing: is there a stat for displaying squeeze attempts?  I would like to add a squeeze % attempt to my HUD.  I think it would become useful for exploiting the times where there is a habitual squeezer to act and I flat AA, KK.

Sorry for the long post!
