I can’t get much time in to grind really. I work 8:30-4:30 processing loans and mortgages for the provincial government all day and I travel all over on weekends… I could grind 5 hours if I really wanted to but probably wouldn’t play well. Realistically I can get in 7,000 hands per week. For the forseeable future I’ll just be continuing with 6tabling 6max games. When I reach about $150 I may add 1 10nl table + the 5 4nl tables but I won’t be full 6tabling 10nl until I reach approx $300.

congratulations on your early success! running hot in the beginning always makes it easier to put in the time to keep grinding :)
question: do you always call a 3bet with JTs UTG? What if the flop comes out something like 7,10,K rainbow and the BB leads into you?
I mainly ask because I have a difficult time playing suited connectors out of position when I'm barely connecting with the board (obviously you crush this board; especially if the villian is a micro-maniac).
Good luck and congratz again!

Thank you yomatta! I don't have a short answer to your question. Notice he min 3bet giving me odds to call. If we are deep I'll usually (pretty much always) have the hand in my range. But in this case, when a fish min 3bets me from the blind (giving me position) I'll always continue with the hand. Against most opponents just flatting the flop would be a misplay. However these fish like to min 3bet with the nuts so I assume when I made trips I'm way again of like a JJ-AA, AQ+ range + maybe 99ish hands.

I think, I wouldn't slowplay that hand with calling flop.
