41. SESSION SUMMARY
 6.5 hours. Roughly $500 profit. ( I won significant money in a
hand I forgot to write down. Oops. )
 Key Strategy Points
 Win on the turn. Attack weak turn donk betting lines. Barrel good
turn cards even with nothing.
 Don’t fold easily to one flop bet ver y often. Make them fire twice.
 Use bet sizing. Throw betting to opponents to allow them to act.
 Don’t do anything stupid preflop. There’s no reason, and it’s as likely
to get you in trouble as make you money.
