Yep so this is the tale of how this salmon is going to swim up the stream and get paid small $$

Left myself $100 in ps going to play some mass tabling 6max reg tables starting at 2nl going to 5nl at 200 10nl at 300 (if i get that high).

Goal is obviously money but not like stupidly big like doug polk cause i'm not getting to $10000 whilst playing some poker everyday after work. So think $1000 is reasonable and from there the skies the limit (or as high as I can jump).

Going to post once a day with 2-5 hands reflecting the session so probably like how a russian fish muthaflukin rivered me every single time oMG!, nah but serious going to post and hopefully out of the 3 people that might read this can help us out.

(oh yeah past history, lol im a **** BE player so this has like a 50-50 chance to fail)

NUMERO UNO!!!

Ended up playing like 12 tables or 3 hours after work today, thought it was interesting playing 2nl these players are predominantly alot ****ter than what I am thinking and thus I feel that I need to slightly change my thoughts as to how I approach many spots. Overall session started pretty **** down to like -$11.51 at one point just losing a lot of coolers and all ins ahead. But head down ass up and we get it back to a minor BE session of +57c on hm2 (i have issues with HM2 and my comp) but my balance is now
$101.69

Few hands I'd like to share. (lets exclude stats for now given this is 2nl and these people are wild)
Hand 1

BB: $3.21
UTG: $2.24
Hero (MP): $2.00
CO: $2.09
BTN: $2.12
SB: $1.91

Pre Flop: ($0.03) Hero is MP with A T
1 fold, Hero raises to $0.05, 2 folds, SB calls $0.04, BB calls $0.03

Flop: ($0.15) T 9 A (3 players)
SB bets $0.14, BB folds, Hero raises to $0.44, SB calls $0.30

Turn: ($1.03) Q (2 players)
SB bets $1.42 all in, Hero folds calls shoves house

Has AQ/J8 that might donk liek this and shove turn but its hard vs someone who can be seen playing so wide and poorly in other situations. Is this an easy fold, casue i struggled.

Hand 2

Poker Stars $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em - 6 players - View hand 2946483

BB: $2.47
Hero (UTG): $2.00
MP: $4.33
CO: $4.76
BTN: $2.44
SB: $2.00

Pre Flop: ($0.03) Hero is UTG with 6 7
Hero raises to $0.05, 3 folds, SB calls $0.04, 1 fold
For me this is the very bottom of my UTG open range and only on csome tables.

Flop: ($0.12) A 3 T (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.06, SB calls $0.06
Flop comes meh, but given my UTG range I cbet wih continued betting on diamonds or a 8 or 9

Turn: ($0.24) 9 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.12, SB raises to $0.24, Hero calls $0.12
Turn I hit pretty nicely sizing could be bigger here maybe on turn and flop as well?

River: ($0.72) 8 (2 players)
SB bets $0.34, Hero raises to $1.02, SB calls $0.68
River is good and he leads we think only QJc that float flop could be the worry but think he has some two pairs and maybe even a set here that we can get value from with a raise, so think a near 3x raise for value is a good move, but would like to hear thoughts


Yeah hopefully one kind soul followed by 50 will come have a chat if not all good im socially awkward anyways

Numero DUO??

Same stakes same grind, ran much better today winning most my 50-50 (of which ill post below to see if those are lines we can take that are +ev over long run vs villian ranges I perceive).
Again hm2 screwed a little because of my computer but it says up 14.80 on the session and running about 7.70 above all in ev. Checked my stats im at about 20/16 with 4.6 3bet think i am being a little tight with my mass tabling but think its been good overall. Today though I know there were several several hands that were not good by me win or lose, and just makes me realise how important it is for me to come back t 2nl and re learn lines and situations to try better approach my game. Balance for now is 118.81

Couple hands Id like to share
Hand 1:

SB: $1.34 (67 bb)
BB: $1.72 (86 bb)
UTG: $2.09 (104.5 bb)
Hero (MP): $4.52 (226 bb)
CO: $2.08 (104 bb) - seemed like ok player but no real sample on him or anything seen to indicate anything really
BTN: $2.22 (111 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP with A K
UTG folds, Hero raises to $0.05, CO raises to $0.30, 3 folds, Hero calls $0.25

Flop: ($0.63) 6 3 Q (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $0.45, [color="red"]Hero flats/raises/folds

against a 3bet I choose to flat, but think a 4bet cause we are oop is also an option, was considering his sizing of his 3bet as a slight tell as to his higher premium range. Vs the exact 6 combos AA and KK on this flop we are about 38-48% vs the set obviously a bit lower. Is this a spot where you call flop to see turn, or given he could have KK here you shove with the A as an out along with your flush?
