Here’s a change of pace. Instead of telling you my reasoning and take on the hand (yet), I want to hear yours. What do you think of my play? What do you think of Villain’s? Obviously some streets will be more controversial than others, but I’m interested in anything and everything that you think either of us did particularly well or poorly.

One important dynamic I should add: I had been 3-betting Villain a lot this session, mostly but not always when I had position. He has a very high 4-bet% (18, to be precise).
