is jamming turn because we probably be broke vs his KK on most river anyway

epic day!

yeah and his bluffs have pretty high equity + won't follow through otr all that much. Makes sense to deny equity and jam turn

Got totally demolished today. Back to even for the year! Didn't feel like i played all that well either



Got this nice one through



Balancing my bluffs



And totally owned a reg here



Back to university tomorrow, really excited! Won footie 7:1 tonight too. Great start to the league

glgl

Solid few buy ins today. There's one hand that was oh so wreckage below



here it is vs very aggro reg



vs the most aggro reg in the pool. I fell out my chair



weak reg spicing it off



Going out tonight and busy all day tomorrow. Will put a sunday evening grind in.

Day of two halves. Run awful, run awesome!



The anti dream



Nut worst bluff combo from reg



I'm currently in negotiation with card runners to do some streaming on twitch. Whatever i contract to do with them, I'll likely go at it alone after something like 10 hours. Got a guy setting up the theme right now so i imagine i'll be able to put a stream in by next weekend. Hopefully there'll be some interest!

Sadly the vast majority of the uk crew are leaving for australia tomorrow, and most of them won't be coming back to london again. Perfect opportunity to get some serious stuff done wrt poker and therapy. Planning on writing up some more articles too.

gl!

You jamming 88 there if turn isn't double suited? I still think it's somewhat too thin for that sizing fwiw.

My turn sizing is indicative of texture. I can't really answer as my river sizing would be different if turn was another card. I think that this hand is beyond std btw. Don't think any other line would be as optimal as this one with sizing. Correct me if i'm wrong though please!

Got totally ruined today. I legitimately thought i was evens or up a little. Clearly not Down for the month now, but i've played over 30k hands which is great. My wwsf, wasd and general stats are looking really really good atm, not sure if i'm running poorly or playing a bit too aggro. Way too early in the month to draw any conclusions though so we stick at it!



vs reg



Can't go too far wrong here - have all KJo combos so meh



The most hilariously awful but correct check back. Saving me about a million dollars in the long run, thanks!

Lolled at fridays post, bullying us live regs at the Hippo doesnt count as "going out tonight"!

Had a good lol at the T9 vs KQ hand, nope thats enough value for me today thanks.

Subbed! Love the positivity you show from your losing days. Awesome stuff. Can't wait for the stream, watched the last one and loved it. GLGL!

I always really enjoy reading your thread. Seeing how well you deal with bad days helps me deal with mine a lot. Good luck with the second half of the month, mate.

Thought about that 88 hand loads actually since your reply, first did a pen and paper solve of it and then ran it through PIO. Then I wrote a really long response on population tendencies and why I thought having two bet sizes on the river is better in the current meta with small/linear c-bets IP being super common on most textures in 3b pots, how I thought that would alters villains range from the turn onwards given check and what parts of that range we're targeting facing a polarised river defence range of straights/mid pairs/QQ on the river.

Then I reconsidered, decided I preferred a single bet size and deleted my post! GG sir.

1/2 pot pbb better tho

otr or ott

river

jammm

huh?! I didn't play live on friday sir.

haha yeah, he obv doesn't like money very much!

yooo, thanks a lot man! Yeah check details below about the stream glgl

I'm glad i can be of some help to you mate. I'm still finding it really frustrating to not be winning as much as i feel i should/can but yeah can't really do much more than play well. Gl to you too!

hahaha, love this post thanks! gg

gtfo with your 2 sizes otr

yes!

Got dealt some classic missdeals today. It's oh so boring to keep running dreadful early in my sessions but can't do anything about it.



That w@sd tho



Lose both vs reg



Reg bluffing pretty wide. Obviously thought he had A3 when he flipped his hand over. Positive thinking



Should just fold river here vs aggro reg

So I wanted to update on the twitch idea. I've come to a deal with Card Runners to stream for 10 hours under their brand. I've got my layout done, all the buttons under my stream and a new twitter. Would be cool if anyone reading could give a follow to both to get the ball rolling! While i'm streaming under CR, there will be a promotion for a lowered subscription rate. There will be different promos when i go solo such as free coaching sessions.

Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/benabadbeat
Twitter - https://twitter.com/BenaBadBeat

Also if any of you have layout, new buttons, social media recommendations then that would be a great help. Will do my first stream on Friday. Really excited to get into the streaming game!

First AA vs 97dd is a pretty cool line, I like it

Followed you on Twitch glgl!

What do you do ott in hand 1 when a nut bad card rolls off? Like the K

What about a meh card, like 2?

Followed and looking forward to you streaming.

Will you be making them available to view on replay after the stream?

Hopefully you do cash games as I can't see myself watching tourneys for long! GL whatever you decide to do.

Pumped for the stream! Looking forward to tuning in.

followed on twitch

looking forward to it!

haha yeah i like the line too! awesome tyy!

Because ip player has more flush draws than us otf (cus we don't check raise all of them 100% of the time but he calls 100% of them once bet) we need to do a lot of checking on diamond turns. I imagine with the Ad blocker we can bet slightly more, however on the K turn i think we wanna do a whole load of checking (he has a bunch of KQ and JT combos)

Thanks for following! tbh, if i'm giving away free info, I'm not gunna then make that available for people too lazy to tune in live But yes, i'll be streaming cash games for the entire 10 hours with card runners and maybe do a cash + MTT grind sunday

cheers jake! Hope it doesn't let you down

nice one, thanks a lot.

Had a full on day at uni. This 10 week module is working with diversity within the therapeutic relationship, including, race, gender, sexuality, age, shame + guilt and several other topics. It's awesome so far, learning so much about my own internalised prejudices (things that we have no control over due to society, upbringing and media etc). Will have to start another essay soon... I also wanna write up an article around diversity within the poker economy but haven't decided exactly what form it'll take yet.

Just wanted to let everyone know that i'll be streaming early evening tomorrow. Likely 5-7 as i have house viewings and client supervision in the day. Will put exact time here tomorrow!

Hey man, I'm going to be out tonight for a mate's birthday, but pretty interested in watching the stream! Could you set your twitch up so that it archives the recordings for a few days?
