meh. another one of those days where i play super well and run bad when it matters. got these two today:



400€ psko 6max

and



in yet another final table of the 109$ 50k on party. also ran super trashy in the thrill AK<KK after being cl 2 hours in

owell not much i can do there. gym now day off tomorrow then big weekend

Why did you not Jam AJ on that final? Think it was first hand

Two reasons. A) my hud hadn't popped yet and b) I think it's actually close between jam and call to begin with being in the big blind getting those odds. Was villain you?

Si senor. Weird that my hud also didn't work on the final for first 10+ hands. Maybe a glitch.

Ul anyway ;(

Your HUD irritates me. Leaves far too much screen space.

Guess yours is way too basic then

Looks like goat hud in terms of size imo

he's certainly lagged it up big time since leaving stars

Decrease the font ffs, that looks terrible.


You have 18 stats, that's really cute.

meh. made 5 final tables, 2 final tabel bubbles and best cash was 1.9k. pretty lame considering the shots i had.

playing uper well tho so whatever, made strides this month wrt gameplay. gonna go sleep and start early today looking to crush

gla

well, that went very sour today. played super well all day had stacks in everything and i think i only manged 2 or 3 mincashes on the biggest sunday of the year so far. ran absolutely terribly in every big pot i played.

AK<AA for top10 stack 100 lft in swu, straight<boat bvb in party 500 for 150bb stack vs spazz, AK<AT for top3 stack 40 left b82 etcetcetc. played composed and well so thats really all i can ask of myself, and thanks to swaps somehow made money this month albeit peanuts compared to what i think my ev is.

lets review this week and month:



did that on monday, reviewed the 30k score of my roomie and a 11r bink of my horse
went tues and thurs and almost went today but to tilt
slacked a little here. think most the food we had was home made but had at least 2 days where i couldnt be bothered so ate remains. w/e
played 4 of my strongest sessions to date . this week's ratings i gave myself went through the roof and i genuinely think i managed my A-game throughout despite running absolutely abysmally. i think my game didnt suffer much but my mood definitely went south which i sadly couldnt keep inside too much. got a tad too vocal wrt whining for my liking. thing that i think got too me most and i def need to look into is me running so aidsy while my roomie binked mtts all over the place after already having a month that rivals my last year $wise i m super happy for him and thnakful that i get to learn from him on a daily basis but yea not getting any results def didnt make me happy haha
played i think at the start and end of my tuesday session and another that i forgot. maily focussed on mtts this week.

overall pretty solid week input wise.

jan numbers:

total hours played MTTs : 167
mtt hands: 92k
total hours reviewed: probably about 10
total hours of cash: would guess about 10
total cash hands: 12k
profit: apparently 3.3k

avg rating: 8.9 (still fairly new to this so i guess on some days i rated my play a tad to high, lowest all month being 7, highest being 10 3 times)


started working out and almost past the pain phase where it actually gets enjoyable. def gonna be looking to keep that up. play wise i m super happy wrt where my game currently is. i think i will pass on EPT dublin and grind super hard thru february. rly wanna keep my rythm up and make this year count.

cash results to wrap this up:


98% 200nl zoom

my timbey winrate is around 7bb for this month including massive runbad which i ll take. def room to improve but thats for february

goals for feb week1:

[ ] work out 3 times
[ ] 4 high quality timbey sessions
[ ] review 2 runs
[ ] cook most of the meals i eat
[ ] fkn sort out our contract

thakns for reading doodz

speaking of sunrunning roomies. just cashed one timbey for 86k and another for 7

good thing i had a piece. month back to at least respectable numbers gg deeepz u fkn monster

solid update and all but was hoping for some more plant pictures tbh

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/16...ajors-1587003/

pack for this week. will be doing those weekly selling to most/all timbeys above 200$ buyin

its probably hugely +EV to just not play poker, and swap % every sunday with him

haha agreed, the guy is indestructible.

i, on the other hand am today sucked hard. feel like i played really well apart from one very debateable/likely bad bluff i puleld in the super tuesday:

http://www.boomplayer.com/en/poker-h...211_DB370CAA42

pre is w/e
flop is std check with my range and call with this particular hand. i will have an xr range probably but this is a bad hand to put into that and def enough equity to call.

turn i check std, he checks so we can remove KJ and 99 from his range. AQ/KQ/QJ bet a lot of the time so can remove a lot of those. AJ may if it bet flop decide it doesnt have enough FE and check, AT checks, JT checks QT could trap, TT likely bets, J9s likely checks, 98s check etc. so basically a number of boars are gone from his range and a number of river boats are likely gone as well. he mainly has 1pair hands that are a bit too weak to bet, weak pairs and giveups and some traps

river is again check with my range as should be good card for villains range, he should and will vbet every jack and better, bluff with some 98s/AT/66 type hands and obv

wrt my range i will play TT QTs Q9s KQ KK TT like this 90% of the time so def have a good number of value hands that are all fistpumpcheckjamming, as for bluffs i will have T9s,K9s,KT of which KT and K9s seem like the best ones as they block his rivered boats hard so i think in terms of hand choice i def picked the right one, issue is that villain will have a pair with his jack a lot so potentially talk himself into a blocker call here a bit too often although i still think its fine.

got thoroughly crushed in timbeys, made two runs that fizzled out into nothingness in fairly boring fashions. sth like 40th in b22, 12th in crocodile and mincashed the 250€ psko 6max, while losing a lot of big equity pots in big buyins to suckouts. w/e gonna rate my play today 8.5, went to play some zoom after and played really well but the fish got me this time.

not sure what i ll do tomorrow. had planned to go to the gym now but its 4:30 am so meh, might still push myself but might just go tomorrow during the day

blabla good night ppl

First of all just throwing out there that this is one of my fav blogs! Love ur consistency of updates and keep crushing mate!

As for the hand, very interesting and worth a discussion.

Pretty sure this is a mistake and every straight except for AJ is a check. You've basically given the answer yourself:

You don't have a x/c range otr except for a straight yourself which splits (which is why he should vbet AJ). His JT blocks more of your bluffing range than your value range so he can't even b/c those. Also if he's decent I don't think he's betting 98 or 66 otf (at least he shouldn't) so I think you're overestimating the number of hands he's turning into a bluff here.

Well in case all of your assumptions are right though and he's a) vbetting every J and b) almost never checking Qx or better ott (u block the rare QT trap which should again never ever check turn though) then I like this bluff and it's obv the best hand to do it with given ur and his line.

Anyway, keep crushing mate

Followed you since you crushed the micro's! And it's been awesome ever since! Keep it up dude :-)

nice setup and obv subbed glgl

my sleep rythm is thoroughly fukd. just finished a 10 hour 200nl zoom session lol. not even sure whats gto wrt sleep now. prob gonna wake up at 5 and feel like trash and then basically have to grind through till evening on friday, but thats ok. been a while since i had a trash rythm so just good that i get to work on that before sth like scoop comes around

session was swingy as hell:



#rakebackgrindin

been doing some thinking and its possible i ll scale down my mtt volume fore a while outside of sundays and grind this zoom thing hard for a while. if i m able to beat 200nl i might try 500nl. living with a hsnl supercrusher makes me hungry. been kinda boring playing little bowls with less ftw than i buy in for the day. so i think i ll likely do my future self a decent favor by making what i expect to be roughly the same playing hourly while actually working on my strategic game hardcore and cherrypicking the big value mtts. i feel like if i get good enough to beat 500nl i ll finally feel comfortable playing things like the 320 6max and the daily rebuy which u need to be a regcrusher to sensibly play and currently i doubt i beat the rake in them but the best regs crush those for a decent roi and i wanna become one of them.

anywho long ramble, my weekly structure for this month will look like this:

monday review day, shop and cook
tuesday grind cash early, fire timbey session around super tues, gym
wednesday cash grind and review, cook
thursday grind cash early, fire timbeys around thrill, gym
friday cash grind, shop, cook
saturday cash grind on few tables, fire the big juicy mtts, gym
sunday full timbey grind

i wanna get a decent sample at 200nl as quickly as i can as when i m comfortable that i m beating it i ll move up asap. roll is there jsut ned to get some volume. gonna go through a ton of hands the next few weeks to get a routine going too.

its funy, i ve actually been enjoying the cash grind more than the timbey grind but meh thats probably biased twofold: a) i ve been winnign in cash b) i ve been losing in timbey c) roomie prints money playing cash

so ya ramble over , gonna watch suits and pass out. holla

Go cash, **** timbeys!

Like seriously while you're living with the swedish kid, it'd be stupid not to pick his brain 24/7 about cashgames, kid's pretty smart.

def think you should give cash game a shot, have played some with you and come across as a competent player (which is obv more than i can say about like 99% of the mtt regs ) .. Also living with a crusher kinda makes it a bit easier. I don't play too much tournaments so i dont rly know which one the 320 6max is and what day it runs, cant be sundays right? Either way i feel that maybe you overestimate the quality of peoples 6max game in mtts. I feel like if you can do well in 200z you already come a long way vs most people that play 6max mtts.. Once again, haven't played the typical one you are referring to so might be wrong, i only play sundays and all the series through the year.

My schedule from last week haha.

Anything below zoom500 is a waste of time w/o sne rakeback (or lets say at least 50%+) - but u'll learn tis teh hard way i guess. Feel free to prove me wrong though

playing 9k hands a day while forcing yourself "to get a sample to prove that u can beat it" like a brainless zombie.
kinda similar to "oh im on a dowswing ill just grind it out by playing 50hours/day until i win again"

that will never lead to success

but u'll learn tis teh hard way i guess. Feel free to prove me wrong though

Even joeingram1 cant grind 50hours a day...
