Time for another downswing post. Only ~-7bi, but hurts my BR and kinda need to drop down to 100 atleast for a little bit. I'll use my badrun over there and will come back to 200, and keep pwning. Not sure if I was tilted during the session, well maybe a bit, but still atleast think that I was making the correctish decisions. Maybe a bit too loose in some spots, but not sure if that's a bad thing in the nitpool.

Horrible luck you have had!

used all my praying on gazzy, sorry

fkn gazz....

Played a decent volume today as my sleep schedule is totally ****ed up due to an all-nighter I pulled yesterday to get some unistuff done, and managed to get it done, sooo deecided to playyyy!

Been playing only 100 for past days due to getting shat on by pokergods, but been feeling good about my game so decided to mix in some 200 at the last session of the day and instantly pokergods decided that I was due to run bad (spot the point when I started adding 200 tables at graph lol : DD). But then I put my gameface on and destroyed some souls and made a comeback or something like that.


Been changing some stuff on how I play certain flops lately, which have more often than not, put me in turn/river spots where I have no idea what to do. Need to study some of those spots a bit more. : 33 But prob having low volume for next few weeks as got ****loads of exams coming up.







Some hands from the day:


I NO BELIEVE!





The flop with these positions/ranges just builds quite a lol spot and had no idea how to tackle it while in game.

Had a nice day for a while, might be my biggest winning day as also got like 200€+ in untracked results for the day. Few more days like this and I'm happy. Still down preRB for the month, but it's saturday tomorrow... LETS GOOOOOO!!!!


PS. Won AKo vs AKo pfai today, so guess pokergods are starting slowly to like me.

Some hands:








River spot was genuinely interesting, think my betsize sucks dick OTR, but a lot depends how this V plays one certain hand preflop, and wasn't confident he plays it one way, so went for the the suckersize instead of crushing souls like I usually do. :////




Got a really big problem on putting down volume, as always when I keep getting into spots where I'm not sure about something or want to figure out something, I get so keen on cracking the spot and often find myself stopping the session to study a spot or two. On weekends I'm a bit better at this as tables are often too good to leave.





Also got kinda interested in getting into sportsbetting after watching Joey's podcast with Liqqa, more into the line analysis stuff. If someone wants to help a noob out to figuring out some basics, hit me a pm.

Also, you tell him Joe!

Another fun day. Ran like god so can't really be complaining about running bad for a while. Also think I played very good during the whole day, made the explofolds, used correct betsizes etc and just pwnd.

Then also getting monies in with AA preflop for like 9000x helps a bit lol.



Puked OTR. Prob best reg that sometimes visits 200 pool, plays up to 600-1k I think. Think V is very capable of bluffjamming OTR with various holdings. For my hand it's prob close, would be valuebetting KJ so don't think I can fold flushes, dunno.




Kinda interesting spot, wasn't sure if my plan was good. Need to break it down tomorrow/next week.




Just casually gathering souls.



200bb deep = I'm literally clicking buttons. Like this hand is so ****ing annoying as I have no idea what he is overcalling here 200bb deep, so my turn play is either STD or very bad. On the river I'm just clicking the betslider randomly.

Fish like to bet pot when they don't know what to do *cough*. It feels like a bet to me where you isolate yourself against better hands (AK). It's weird when he cold calls. I would just 4-bet a lot vs the big 3b sizing. Cold calling KJs/KTs can't be great, calling suited connectors is just gambling vs your sizing. So we may have a xc OTT.

K4o I'd bet bigger OTT. Makes more sense with your R line + gets more folds. OverB OTT is interesting line too, should work well .

AK I start with 33-40% flop bet. just little bonus vs hands that call once + prob gets same amount of floats. Don't think there's much difference though between 30% and 40%, so maybe you wanna bluff smaller. but this applies mainly on AAQr, where even for the biggest calling station it's hard to call something like 76s w/ BFD.

Nice to see you run above EV, well justified!

Happy on how I managed to turn the month around, but also disappoint with results, but WCYD. Back at 200 for now and just casually gathering souls there. Improved a lot during the month in some aspects of my game. Mental game took a hit somwhere during the month, but mental game is for puzzies anyway (jk). Volume sucked though.

Goals semi filled!!! : --- D



Next few weeks going to be a low volume during uni stuff (I'll give myself 10% of managing to do this).


Plans for next month, planning on shotting 400 at some point, should do ok there as mostly the same regs as at 200, and I think I have decent edge over most regs at 200, but then again, probably every reg feels this way : --- D


Shot 400 and crushhhhhh. [ ]
+10bb/100 for the month across stakes, because why NOT (realistic? dunno lol) [ ]








PS. W8 is 200 already considered midstakes?

Lololol, ended up moving the exam to january, because got too many exams coming up. Soooo decided to play some poker and study tomorrow for the rest of the exams. FML...






Played kinda OK today, did a lot of intuitive exploit moves that I haven't really done often, so need to study those a bit more later. All around played a bit more aggressive than I use to which kinda shows in the redline, then again ppl 4b-folded like 10x against me today soooo. Also one guy at this finnish site totally owned me, he just never folds ;___; need mah HUD.


Also played my first hands in 400, got jesus so decided to pwn, emptied the rec and left. Soooo, I reached midstakes, got there! Thread is over! : DDD




Picking up a soul here and there.




People starting to not beileve me : ///




Not sure of flop xb, not the best combo but totally reasonable I think. Kinda brutal, for a second I was thinking of folding. Might not be that unreasonable if V XR flop often, but then again I hate folding. But then again no one bluffs here. But then again they might valueshove worse.




Lolol, couldn't decide any reasonable size so went for jam, can't be horrible.

Fail all the exams! It's great feeling when you no longer need the 500€/month student aid.
QJs is horrible spot for sure. flip a coin. I don't fold either.
66 looks good vs his overB value hands. can think of calling if balance is an issue.
also if you stack off a whale, always post hands from the shot!

THE SWINGSSS! : 333

Took some shots at NL400 as got a few good seats so decided to go with it. Won some stacks, lost some stacks ended up be at 400. A lot of same regs as at 200, but some are just a lot of better, which kinda makes games fun. Lost few big flips vs huge whale at 200£ tables coupled with one optimistic thinvaluejam at 400, and ended up losing like 1k at the end of the session. Not properly rolled for it yet so will be careful of shottaking and only take em' while feeling good and getting good tables. Maybe some more shots at weekend.

Optimistic, but should be ok vs most villains, depends a lot if V actually manages to hit the 3b button preflop enough, which a lot of ppl fail to do. Had no proper sample on V.





Yolo!!! Fug..




Just casual valuebets.

Teach me your ways very nice so far man you are pretty flawless keep grinding the midstakes my goal in the future but itll be a while till i get there lol.

Anyways very nice HH so far some of then i don't completely understand because i don't know what you are thinking but would be an early Christmas gift if you could explain all your hands especially the 96o hand.

Well OTF 6x is weak hand, but good for bluffs set/2pblocker.

Turn 6x is weak hand, weak for bluffs but still should be fine to bluff some 6x for set/2p blocker that is going for delayed turn raise And ppl are nits so I bet.

River, to make +EV bluff, I think ppl need to fold Qx which is not gonna happen and 6x has some SDV and bad blockers for bluffing so i XB.


/strat

200 mixed with 400. Games were super good. Had whale just basically stacking A2C preflop, lost few overpairs vs 2 unders like KK vs 54o D

Played OK, but hunting the whale on lobby was a bit of distraction. But yeah still happy on how I played, need to run better.


Some hands





FUG







Not sure of river, prob fine.




FUG, prob should just bluff 9x, but prob also need few worsetier bluffs. Dunno actually as it blocks Vs T9s, dunno dunno. I click buttons

Got a seat with the whale so need to keep playing, lost 2 stacks in first 2 hands as significant favourite.




THE SWINGSSS!!!!

gl gl!

I'll sweat while taking a break

The swingssss!! D

Nice whale.
Try to keep the games going even if he sits out, especially if he busts.
and definitely annoying when whale is table hopping, teach him how to rebuy
Would also keep HU tables open while he is around.

Went into rostucko mode for a while as I sacrificed a lamb to pokergods, but it didn't work lol.

Was fun day : DD kept just lobbyhunting this one whale for like 5 hours, the EV of guaranteed of getting a seat into his game was prob more +EV than playing the regular fishes on the side. Meh **** happens, luckily I didn't blow bigger % of my roll, still properly rolled for NL200, but 400 shots prob need to wait a bit.

Having this kind of action kinda ruins you for the day, well anyway need to study a lot for uni next week so prob not playing almost at all. Already like 3k under EV for the month, feel like I've seen this before. D


Graph from the start of the thread. EV graph is kinda sickkkkk, results not that much lol, but can't complain. Gotta run good at some point.
