Good luck tonight, sure you'll smash it.

nice results Bena!!

u never post a graph showing ur redline. would you satisfy my curiosity and show it ?

best of luck to u mate!

How many trophies in 2017 so far Bena?

Hope that cabinet is getting stacked

stream!

yeaaah, crushed them 6-2 (flex)

haha, I'm afraid i won't be posting my redline. Redline can give away a lot about ones game and i don't intend on doing that!

1 so far. 4 by the end of the year is the goal



yeaaah i need to get back on this. As i said, things super hectic right now off the tables. I'm pretty stressed out right now tbh

---

Thought i was evens and had a nasty surprise. Shouldn't have played really with having enough on my plate right now. Oh well, live and learn. Won 6 all ins and lost 2. Lost 5bi, impressive



Drim vs reg



He deserved to get there after the of the flop call



Still up a bit for the month. Got about 1k words more to write on my essay. Cannot WAIT for it to be handed in.

Will be working on it tomorrow and sunday but will likely put a short session in here and there if i feel up to it. After today i probably shouldn't actually. We'll see

Obviously that's what a red line fish would say. Although in seriousness do you believe that anything can be gleamed from a red line on a graph that can't already be inferred from stats? Personally i don't think it does.

Of course it can be inferred, but there's a big difference between inferred knowledge and absolute knowledge. I think OP is wise to not display it when you really think about it.

I completely disagree. Inferred was the wrong word to use for stats, since they are not inferred, they are cold hard maths. Redline is kind of whatever, there's so little you can learn from it compared to what you can learn from statistics. But anyway I was more curious on Ben's reasoning rather than turning it in to a huge discussion here.

I don't think it's a big deal to reveal it at all. But whatever, less information you give out is better.

^ Sums up the poker world

Ha, yeah but that argument makes way more sense when you don't have a goals thread and don't post hh's.

Maybe one can infer something out of this regarding non-showdown winnings?

Rekt

did someone say something about #redline?

Except you can curate the HH's and not a red line. I could give you a very different idea of what my game is like by picking my HH's from what reality is.

But who was red line?

Basically what A_Shupick said is on point.

Anyway, i give free info in this thread all the time and obv stream and make vids. I'd like to keep some things to myself!

hahaha vwp

giraffe pls

Finished, printed and handed in my essay. The freedom feels awesome. Won't have to write another essay until next year! Have got 4 weeks off from uni too so I'm hoping to get away at some point next month, probably Kings day in Amsterdam and then maybe to Vienna for a few days. You better be around Blakk.

Felt pretty rusty as i hadn't played for a few days but put in a solid 3500 session and played well. Made some truly outrageous folds. Gunna post some #strat hands today for no reason



Very cool pot vs rec (opener) and reg 3b/4bettor. I really like my river jam to fold out chops as I don't imagine he ever checks/chooses this sizing with AQ ott. Am right at the bottom of my value range too with the nut blocker so why the hell not.



Biggest fold i've made in a long time. I asked the guy if it was correct in another pot and got totally blanked. 1-0 benabadbeat.

Basically when the initial raiser takes this line he has QQ or 22 100% of the time. Moreover with my river sizing he aint ever got a bluffboy



This was vs a reg who always chats **** to me. Couldn't help but give the needle



Set the tarp



Seeing clients tomorrow and will probably grind some too! Month is pretty swingy so will stick to 200z for the remainder of the month at least.

Reading you strat posts always depresses me about how little I know about the game

I don't know how you fold the 66 hand, do you have particular reads on V or is it this line in particular with when played by the population? How do you discount 55? Could he check back AQ OTF if you have an aggressive image and raise river because he thinks you're FOS?

55 is bet way more often than QQ. Raising AQ because he thinks bena is bluffing doesn't make sense.

Thanks!

haha when you play millions of hands you kinda just get a feel for the spots that people only have nutted hands.

yep this! 55 just cbets the flop imo

Saw clients and decided to put an hours grind in. Didn't go well Reviewed and happy with about $850 of the losses.



vs rec



vs two weak regs. Not an ideal spot but not much choice when i x/r



vs reg



vs reg



I'm going to start thinking about this mental game coaching stuff. I'll likely put a questionnaire together to gather some research on expectations from potential clients. Hopefully some of you would be so kind as to answer when i do!

Definitely grinding tomorrow.

Will for sure answer when you put something together.

666 hand. Thoughts on explo xf river? Seems like we have a fair few flushes by the river and not that many bluffs that want to jam this river. Also tough for villain to call with worse unless AQ (44 maybe?) or AK with blockers (unlikely to call tbh).

I definitely disagree with this, having looked at the ranges in some detail. We don't arrive with that many flushes by the river at all, only those with straight draws on the flop too (otherwise we have way too many bluffs in our flop x/r range given all the no SDV flush draws we will want to x/r too), so you're talking best case 9c8c, 9c7c, 8c7c, 7c4c and 4c3c as well as presumably KdJd for the nut straight. Aside from those, sets give us 6 combos and Aces up give us another 4 that we could conceivably shove for value (65s is way too thin imo, Aces up seems suspect - would be interested in people's opinions on this).

Villain only needs 30% vs our range to break even on a call on the river, so even if we have all 6 combos of straights or better, we can only bluff ~3 combos if this is the worst we are shoving for value - so basically only bricked 43s. This doubles if we add sets. We have a bunch of other missed straight draws to bluff with too.

Also, Villain arrives with very few flushes on the river, only 8c7c and 6c5c seem substantially likely, given the Ac on the flop. He can also have KdJd and AA that beat us (though I would expect a reg to trap AA by checking back flop with some frequency) and maybe V calls the flop x/r with QQ (seems unnecessary when he will have so much Ax and draws). So we're very unlikely to be value cutting ourselves jamming a set. I think 55 is fistpump jam on this runout personally but A6 seems too thin because villain has all the AQ in their range here as well as flopped sets and better.

Would definitely be interested in anyone's thoughts on my reasoning, so long as Ben doesn't feel like it's a derail.
