So I've been trying to get away from my standard weak/tight standard ABC game. I had a session today where I was experimenting with being more aggressive (my aggression is usually too low on the turn and river, and high on the flop). Here is the graph:

So it starts off well and I take down a few large pots with ungreat hands just by firing multiple barrels. Then at the first steep drop, that was just me gambling like an idiot so don't mind that. That hand was actually quite interesting though because the guy had an overpair, 3bet me from the blinds, and check/shoved the undercard flop. I guess he picked up on my aggression the past few orbits.

This graph is nowhere near what it usually is. Usually my showdown winnings in blue are a steady climb with the odd small drop off, whereas my non-showdown winnings are usually break even or slightly negative. As I said I was experimenting with this, so it's obvious that keeping up aggression can be very profitable, however only at the right times. And knowing when the right time is is something I'm trying to learn. Because I obviously went to showdown too much with the worse hand when I pick wrong spots to do this.

I ended up tightening up towards the end of the session and playing my more standard game in order to get my losses back.

As you can see my flop and turn aggressions are pretty big, whereas my river aggression was still too passive. I think 2-2-2 is a good value for all streets? Usually it's like 4-1.8-1.4 something like that.

I also need to play quite a bit before the end of the month so I can get Platinum Star. I've been slacking off lately.
