I'm actually looking at a couple different pretty different but decent players:



This reg has an extremely low calling range vs EP. 3% on the button and 3% 3bet as well on the button vs EP opens. I would consider those stats plus look at vs hero stats as well he cold calls even less vs me. Then I should consider post flop stats:



He has an extremely high flop fold to cbet especially considering he has a tight calling range to start with so what I maybe should do is exploitatively bet all my air and check my strongest hands I'm not sure. His bet vs missed cbet both IP and OOP are extremely low as well so I won't have to worry about him exploiting my OOP checks or anything.

The other reg postflop is a bit tougher:



He bets vs missed cbet about 44% both IP and OOP so I have to take that into account. I think if you're looking at postflop stats someone who is super honest has around 33% for missed cbet stats or whatever stats since people generally hit a decent piece of most flops 1/3rd of the time. Things to also consider are turn ranges as well when someone has a really tight flatting range preflop then a really high flop fold to cbet % they virtually have the nuts on the turn. I tighten up my value bets like crazy on the turn and I completely underbluff and checkfold/give up most hands and maybe my weaker value bets. We exploit their other leaks and don't need to keep barreling or fighting for the pot at that point.

VS recreational players we can kinda just do whatever but I think vs this guy for example who's just playing an insane amount of hands there's also the spew factor. Recreational players just don't have the disciple to check back 3x with the junk hands. They just think they have to try win the pot. If you check super fast too to pretend like you're giving up they might bluff more often but here's an example of where I make 0 cbetting and even delayed cbetting but made a bit from his air that I otherwise would'nt have made. He's not the type to check back a piece of the board if he has a queen he'll probably bet so I don't know if we get much value from anything by betting anyway:



Yeah the more I think about it the more I like it. We just get more info checking OOP and for hands that need protection, most people will bet the same range they would call a bet with but also with more air so I don't think we lose out on much protection since they'll bet for us.

That's really cool - thanks for the stuff you posted there. Definitely making me think about how I can work more and look for post-flop stuff in my own play.

Surely your best would be to Cbet everything against this villain? He doesn't even bet vs a missed C-bet that often so you're not going to extract any value by checking back your strong hands I think.

True yeah I should just cbet tons vs that type of player.

I slept terribly last night fell asleep maybe around 5am and there's construction/renovation going on at my house. One of the guys brought his dogs so my dogs were barking like crazy. I'm gonna try to study and review and have jiu-jitsu in a few hours and after I might go for a 5km run with my cousin and I should finish the book today.

Cool stuff guys ... thanks a ton fir such insights

It was a bit of a sluggish day I had wait a few hours at the doctor so I started late and just felt sluggish the whole day. I should've drank some coffee I guess.

Rest day tomorrow I gotta review some final table ICM spots. I might be flatting too wide/calling too often vs cbets etc just ICM punting. Maybe I'll do that quick video on cbetting dry boards too.

Here's a little video of me trying to use piosolver with a few mistakes and stuff but whatever trying to be productive on the days off. I'm gonna review a few final table spots looks like extra equity needed in most spots flatting in BB or facing cbets is just like 2-5% not super huge difference but I think I am calling too loose in spots.

have jiu-jitsu and a run again tonight. The damn sweat burns my eyes with the psoriasis and eczema it's pretty bad. I can't wait to get that walking treadmill and burn the low sweat calories on it. The jiu-jitsu gym is like a sauna when it gets going wearing the Gii.

I actually ended up playing. The quebec side of playnow was down so there were overlays in the tourneys. I played a bunch and did well in all the bottom of my buyin range today. Two 2nds, one third and 1st for a total profit today of exactly $200 cad.

Hey man love the thread. I would suggest looking into a paleo diet for the psoriasis.Cutting wheat, grains, gluten, refined sugars, pretty much all preservatives are known to have a direct link to have skin problems.

"The Blue Print" By: Mark Sisson is worth a read.

Gonna read a bit and maybe try meditating again then head to sleep.

I had this hand on the biggest FT I made today, I fked up squeezing too small. I made it 85k vs 30k at 28bbs with AA. I should still go like 100k at least but not sure if that changes anything. On flop I can't really check fold I don't think.

wtf is playnow. Thought this was a fictional firm out of Seinfeld.

Discipline is a finite resource I've heard.

Folded set of 88 here I guess kinda easier fold since it's a protected pot vs a passive player lead shoving river out of turn.



Then damn I did well to not go allin on river very top of range but I have no info on him first hand played with him ever and he check raised flop, turn checked through and he bets so small I really wanted to fold putting him on just AA or AK, he had AA:

Went hard AF today at jiu-jitsu on the brink of passing out half the time then ran just over 5km after. I gotta try to do that every Mon, Weds, Sat. Hopefully this treadmill comes in tomorrow.

Here was a pretty funny hero call by a guy hoping to chop:



I 3b 3x his raise cbet 1/3 barrel 40% on turn he leads out on river then calls my raise putting him all in. He's just over it I guess these fun players are trying to get in me in trouble for chip dumping or something.

Losing day still pretty brutal luck on a couple other FTs and streak of 33 missed cashes to end the day :O

I gotta catch up on some sleep. I'm insanely sore from jiu-jitsu and running yesterday.

So sore from Jiu-jitsu but I'm pumped I went yesterday while still super sore because I gotta **** toughen up. If I skip out everytime I don't feel 100%, I won't get in shape. I've lost a few pounds and I feel the jiu-jitsu training creeping into my daily habits as I slide out of bed pretty quick with style these days. I go pretty **** hard I think I surpise some people there how athletic I am for my weight. I'm hovering just over 250lbs.

Reminiscing back to the biggest game of my soccer career:

http://www.canadasoccer.com/capilano...-title-p146559

I wanna google their players see if they ever played in the MLS. I'll dust off the DVD video and watch it for the first time in 8 years or so.



Old picture damn I had hops. I remember this was national cup final game a teammate shot it and I just up from nowhere and connected with it outside the 18 and almost redirected it in. It was going wide and would've caught the goalie off gaurd. I remember being in this game vs Algonquin and watching them the game before hearing how they had a couple guys who were gonna be in the MLS and just watching them thinking **** we don't stand a chance.

The OGs on our team stepped up in the first half Milad was a **** beast unstoppable. He scored a sick free kick IIRC but some of the team wasn't playing great in the first half. We were down 3-1 at the half. I was assigned to mark one of their best players since I was a defensive centre mid but this guy was doing fk all and kinda taking me out of the game playing so boring. He would just drop back and get the ball and not move up or around or do anything threatening and he wouldn't mark me. At half-time our coach, former Whitecap captain Paul Dailly ripped into us all it was the sickest half-time speech ever. He was just yelling at me full blast a foot from my face. I can't remember what I said but I sorta talked back thinking fk this guy you want me marking is doing fk all what do you want me to do. Second half I was open quite a bit since this guy didn't marked me so I just pushed for up and left him almost always. He was gassed or just completely beat from the tournament and a nonthreat. We tied it up 3-3 off a free kick and scramble in the box I remember it dropped to me in the mayhem and I passed it across to Nonni who slammed it in. We went apesht nuts.

Then like 15 minutes later we got another freekick just over the centre line and Ilya whipped it in towards the net. I sprinted early unmarked tracked the ball towards the goalie. The ball was wavering and I stopped short of the net hoping the goalie couldn't handle it. Sure enough he doesn't catch it but tries to redirect it and I'm right there to tap it in. We complete the comeback up 4-3 and here are some pictures of the celebration: (damn cheap ass should've bought them to get rid of the watermark)



















Mandatory shoutout to the parents and my dads yelling the cliche "That's my boy!".





Sick photo with the boss Milad aka MILOOOSSSSSSSSSS

At this point we're thinking we can do this, we got this we just gotta hold them off for 25 minutes or so. So much adrenaline I'm blacking out at times.

Not a few minutes, we make a mistake and get an own goal and it's back to being tied 4-4. We're a bit gutted emotional roller coaster. I remember seeing a play develop and the ball getting to Alan with my marker nowhere in site I just started sprinting from the 40 towards the 18 and screammmed ALLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNN as I was getting near the box and he was near the end of the centre circle and he looked up once then sent me a sick through ball between the defenders it seemed like it was going to be far for me. I got past the defenders no problem as I was going full speed. It was just me and the goalie who was charging out and near the 12 yard line. I was so full of adrenaline my vision was in super slow motion and in and out like a strobe light. Me and the goalie met the ball at the exact same moment and I just tried to scoop it hard. It wedged up between our bodies and in the slowest seconds of my life I watched it fly up, up looking like it's going over the bar but it just dips under as a defender makes a last ditch flying effort but only knocked it into the inside siding of the net. Blacked-out celebration we just went crazy 5-4.

About ten minutes later the game winning goal was off a free kick going over the net and wide. I jumped up right beside the post insanely high with the adrenaline I have no idea how I got to the ball I don't think any expected me to get it and most people would just leave it and leave it go wide. I wish it was on video I just got up there headed it just before it crossed the line and at a steep downward angle right to our 5 year veterans foot two feet off the line for the tap in goal. It was such a sick moment to Birza up with the winner in his last year what a special moment. I'm pulling up the old video tonight but it didn't have all the footage and wasn't recorded by a pro. We held them off but to make it dramatic in the last couple minutes they had a penalty shot and scored making it 6-5 for us but nothing dramatic for the longest last minute ever.



Me, Milad and some of the chicks from the womans team collecting I think provincial all-star awards:



Damn the good days. I remember years after going out I'm out at a bar downtown and see a chick from the girls team and I saw some guys there I went to high school with also and was just saying hi when she screams RICKKKKKYYYY and I say her name and she turns red all excited "You remember my name?!?!" and jumps on me and starts making out lol. I looked like the biggest boss. The glory days. Then my old douche best friend tries taking her and messed things up. Biggest douche this guy he had a gf at time he's now married too and I have no idea how he gets away with it and how none of us kicked his ass he'd always try to steal chicks from my me, my brother, cousin or anyone we'd be out with. He'd sell his soul, say anything to anyone to try to get laid like his life depended on it. He had more gfs and banged more chicks while having this now wife then most people have in their lifetimes. One time he used my phone and added every single one of his exgfs to MY facebook and instagram and messaged my sister so my sister see's this ******ed message thinking it's me and it was awkward because I didn't know what was sent for a bit. He was a good guy at times coming out to save us in Kelowna when my brother got a speeding ticket and my car impounded but he would hold it against us and was just insanely hammered on the night we were supposed to leave so we had to stay an extra night and all of us missed a day of work. While there I remember he was hitting on some chicks at our hotel and he accidently sent a message to his gfs mom thinking it was them and I told him he can say it was me and the douche already said don't worry Rick haha I already put the blame on you. Rambling but damn I wish I stopped being friends with this guy earlier.

I think part of the reason we stopped being friends is he changed after we had a threesome with a chick. I never wanted to do that but I guess I traumatized him or humbled him or something he was never the same afterwards. I told him we shouldn't but he's always so desperate and a chick was actually down for once so whatever. Early on when I was done with soccer we started partying and going out I said we should break up with the GFs he agreed but never went through with it and did the selfish single lifestyle while staying with his gf and I was actually single. I wonder if we stopped hanging out earlier if I maybe would've kept playing soccer or gotten into something else. I wonder what life would've been like I probably wouldn't have liver problems now and be further ahead in poker but whatever there were some good times. I've changed so much since then I don't even want to hook up with chicks. My buddy tried setting me up last month I hung out and went to sleep in bed with this chick. I know she's all excited and getting ready in the bathroom and she came to bed but I don't really want to do it for fun like that anymore I just tried sleeping a bit then walked home. I just gotta find one chick long-term in the near future when I'm feeling good about my health and life.
