1000th post

So i've been told that the 1000th post is quite a big deal. The amount of great poker advice and enjoyment i have had from the two plus two forum has been fantastic over these 1k posts! Due to this, I would like to give something back to the poker community. I could write some kind of long winded post about something that has been discussed a million times before, but I'd rather not waste everyone's time.

I of course don't want this to come over in anyway self indulgent so best to cut to the chase. I'd like to offer a couple hours of free coaching, preferably a micro stakes FR grinder as i feel this could be really beneficial to someone. Could potentially do a session with a couple or few of you at the same time if there is multiple interest. Please feel free to post in the thread or pm me if you'd be interested.

Gl at the tables and here's to another 1k posts!

Makes perfect sense when your playing on the toughest site on the net where the regs are not making nearly as many mistakes as the regs you are playing against.

If I was playing vs regs all day who can't fold TP, the above line would make no sense either. Unfortunately the quality of play on Stars is really just that much better

Had my best day of the year, and bar hu blow ups, my best day ever at the tables! The weird thing is, the games weren't even particularly good. Just got the best spots over and over again.



Stake breakdown:



There are soooo many all ins it's ridiculous. But here are some of the most entertaining.

Sickest call down i've made this year for sure. vs a reg i have a ton of history with:



Tasty spot pvs reg:



Our good mate giving us some money:



Gin turn and a gift of a bet call from reg:



this was vs a tag ABC reg. I am so so disappointed in myself for bet calling the river because i know he never ever shoves 22 and never ever turns AQ into a bluff. This only leaves QQ and AA which i reckon he has close to, if not 100% of the time. Oh well, the call proves i was right, right?



vs a fish 40/20 fish with high agg on all streets. Definitely an easy fold on the river, but just didn't make it for some reason. Probably thought the god mode would make me win...



Will definitely be taking the rest of the evening off now glgl

sick day grats

been lurking this thread since its conception, as a fellow nl50 FR player the coaching would be awesome.

Hi Bena, saw yr post in the uFR Stars regs thread. I would definitely be interested in your coaching offer. I currently play lol5nl and 10nl, beating them for a small WR playing nitty ABC. You might be planning on coaching higher stakes, but if you are happy to coach some nanostakes, I'd greatly appreciated some advice from someone like yourself to help push my game on. Sick graph for yesterday btw.

Congrats on the 5k day!

Id be interested to hear your thoughts on not c betting the JJ hand on KJx flop in a 4 way pot.

Also in4coaching.

Glgl!

Had another good day today. Actually starting to feel a bit guilty. I keep trying to tell myself that this time last year i was stuck 10k and 120bi below ev, so i deserve the run good!



Tbh the way that regs/fish have been playing vs me, it would be impossible not to crush.

Examples of this:

vs big fish:



lol this hand is just absolutely un****ing real. Wait till you see the showdown:



vs std fish:



vs our mate. kind enough to play hu today:



and him again:



As you can see, definite run good, but also being handed money also helps a ton.

Looking forward to the supernova freeroll tonight and gl if anyone else is playing it.

This made me LOL, but then made me feel bad.

OP - great thread. Subbed and GL.

Coach me!

Sick results, wp

Thanks mate!

You don't need coaching at all pita. Just take the variance on the chin and always try play A game and profit will happen

Cheers tom. Hope things are going good with you!

Great results, inspiring

would you coach me bena

Thank you Andre, appreciate that a lot

Haha if you coach me first then ill consider it. I think I'd be getting a much better deal though!

That would have been a session ender if you actually had 68

youre too kind sir but if you keep on crushing like this who knows

Which hand you talking about mate? The QT call down guy?

Been great to take a full day off today. Ventured out into London on Boris Bikes. For those of you who don't know what they are, they're bikes that are docked all over London and you can rent them by the hour (like £1 per hour). It's amazing how involved i can get in grinding and forget there is great stuff to do all around me whenever i want. I guess the good weather really helps with this Biked around loads of London, then went to Hyde Park and rented a pedalo. Was loads of fun, although kinda stressful with getting constantly gang banged by busses etc.

Couple photos from today:

Crazy parrot lady casually walking around



My gf charlotte rocking the pedalo:



and me feeling a little uneasy as i hate being on open water lol

The only sense it makes is a lower winrate for all regs

Your favorite lines are value+value+chkfold value yet you love to bluffcall twice and shove air. Meaning you are both just trading value folds.

Just as forhayley said in google's runitonce video. Your "GTO" thinking is good for a weak winrate but you're costing yourself tons of money by thinking everyone is so damn though and not trying to actually exploit the person with basic logic.


anyways i dont want to argue more about this in yet an other thread. I was just here to celebrate the 5k day. That's sick. Congrats.

Really swingy day today but happy to not have lost loads. 1st session was +1k and 2nd -2k roughly:



Gross spot vs tight reg. Should just fold to turn shove i think:



vs reg with super high fold to 3bet. I like the check call line:



vs pretty crappy reg. Lost both runs too

So I went from a standard reg to tightish reg to pretty crappy reg in a few weeks. Must have made some pretty bad plays vs you. But that's fine I have you marked as a reg fish thing so it's all good

big thanks to Ben for doing these coaching sessions, got some valuable info

Don't take that the wrong way. If i can call you std reg, tightish reg and crappy reg then it suggests that i don't have you figured out yet. Apologies if i offended you but i made that comment after a losing session which is the only reason i called you crappy.

Besides, who cares if a reg fish called you crappy

I hope there's no hard feelings. gl
