Really enjoying the thread mate, loads of good discussion. I thought the posting of every big losing pot was such a good idea that I'm gonna start doing it in my own thread as of tomorrow. Then I saw that you decided to stop doing it not long after. Would you mind sharing why that was, just so I know what to expect?

Maybe I should keep doing that actually. It's actually tougher to post them than you think. I also think some regs might start to figure how I play and adjust against me. I might just do it again actually and see how it goes and stop doing it when I establish myself at 50NL and shotting 100NLz. GL with your own thread and thanks for the kind words!

Had a few days off to get a clear mind. Played 600+ hands today 2 tabling, working on my game. Trying to fold a bit more as I tend to be a calling station postflop. No pots where I lost over 100bb+ today! Also trying to learn piosolver now and getting RIO elite tmrw.
Preflop: Hero is BTN with A 5
UTG folds, MP raises to $0.75, CO raises to $2.30, Hero raises to $5.50, 2 folds, MP calls $4.75, CO calls $3.20
Flop: ($16.85) A 3 5 (3 players)
MP bets $8.05, CO folds, Hero raises to $19.85 and is all-in, MP calls $8.48 and is all-in
Turn: ($49.91) 3 (2 players, 2 are all-in) River: ($49.91) 7 (2 players, 2 are all-in)
Spoiler:
Results: $49.91 pot ($2.00 rake)
Final Board: A 3 5 3 7
Hero showed A 5 and won $47.91 ($25.88 net)
MP showed J A and lost (-$22.03 net)
CO mucked and lost (-$5.50 net)
Fine? I play straights the same way. Maybe actually just call the flop with this hand and raise T8ss. Having no raising range could be fine too, depending on wether I flat A7, A6.
Preflop: Hero is MP with Q Q
UTG folds, Hero raises to $0.62, CO raises to $2.25, BTN folds, SB calls $2.15, BB folds, Hero calls $1.63

Hero mucked Q Q and lost (-$4.25 net)
CO mucked and won $12.42 ($8.17 net)
Just had a sick hand vs a guy from my study group. He knows how I plays so thought calling river isn't that bad. He honestly thought I was bluffing too so I guess its wp?
So I'm halfway reading Joey Ingram's book and this is what really got my attention, here come's a quote out of his book "Chasing the Poker Dream" (section written by Cole South). I really like the idea of turning failures into assets. So from now on I will post every pot where I lost 100bb's or more. No more excuses. This will keep me accountable because I will know that I have to post the failures in my blog.
Okay whatever, going to keep posting the pots where I lost 100bb's net or more until I ever establish myself at 50 or 100NLz. I will just always include them at the bottom of each post in a spoiler. I was quite done playing today pretty fast to be honest. Gotta say, I played my C game today :')

Good to see you've started including the 100bb+ losing pots again, it certainly ain't easy! I'm doing the same now thanks to you(/Joey) - should be fun! :P
Results from February. Not too much going on, volume is sick low. I switched to playing 2 tables at a time and moved down and up between 16nl and 25nl, just to test some concepts at 16nl after watching vids. I definitly applied some wrong, but after reviewing hands with my coach I was able to identify where I applied it wrong. It was all about small bet sizing.
Results aren't too shabby at all! Volume kinda low tho yea
GL
Thanks! He plays 200NL in USA, it's MDoranD from cardrunners. My next coach however will be for sure a zoom reg from small to midstakes because I'm only interested in playing in zoom on stars for now.

Results since start (mid Jan)
Results overal since Mid Jan. Showing red lines just for lulz, but i definitly know I am pushing aggression too much and value betting too thin etc, or just simply picking wrong spots.
Also got a ton of videos to watch from Cardrunners, going to try to atleast watch 2 or 3 a day and consume them as efficient as possible by taking notes. Also getting RIO elite and might get into Piosolver later, but i'm doing that for a later date I guess.
just withdrawn my entire bankroll of $900'ish, Im going to buy a new car since my old one broke. Will redeposit as close to my old BR when possible at next paycheck

Preflop: Hero is BB with A A
UTG raises to $0.30, MP folds, CO calls $0.30, BTN folds, SB calls $0.25, Hero raises to $1.60, UTG folds, CO calls $1.30, SB calls $1.30
Flop: ($5.10) K 4 K (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $2.53, CO folds, SB calls $2.53
7) Vs calling station, never lucky . In hindsight I think most +EV is to just bet 2/3 again, he's raising his sets/2x anyways, and might even call 2nd pair. In hindsight I don't like this play.
In hindsight @ KK hand, think we should just bet bet bet, and with overbetting turn I don't really see what bluffs I can have with this sizing lol . Good thing I posted it though so it would make me rethink my action.
