Yup, i hated that pot!

3b is pretty high so i can as you said discount AQ 100%. The problem lies in the fact he knows he reps nothing and i know that he knows that. It's just a horrendous spot which i ended up calling. He showed up with A9, which fwiw i think is an AWFUL river shove.

Was a good party for sure! Good to see you too and i'm looking forward to you boys getting your house sorted

Unbelievably tilting day today. I've been really proactive though which kinda makes up for it.



The hands that tilted me today.

First vs scout urgh:



vs a mate of mine. Just so fkn cold:



This was vs scout too:



500z reg going real thin. Kinda sick because i prob fold JJ and QQ vs an unknown...



Another horrible hand vs a reg:



Playing 600 again which is exciting and have made the decision that when i am up 20k for the year i'll start playing 400 6max Still quite a bit away from 20k but will hopefully be by the end of next month.

Been reading for a while, we played some hands at the tables though I'd prefer to keep my nick to myself

The A4 vs A9 hand is pretty standard by him. It's not, in any way, an awful river shove. You're playing 3h, A9 is the second best hand he has in that spot (after 44, 22 problably folds flop since it almost never improves and it's so hard to make it to the showdown) and he will shove some busted draws (I'd shove draws which are not blocking important clubs draws). So, he needs to shove A9 to add some combos to a very unbalanced range if 44 was his only value hand.

PS: GTO sucks my balls

Gonna dedicate my 100th post to you sir Happy to see thread is back on, will be following all the way as usual. Please take all of Snipers cash tyty.

66boat is call imo vs that sizing

[spoiler]kind rgds from teh TimStone[/spoiler]

There are a number of reasons why i disagree with most of this. Villain has far less nutted hands than hero, so why do you want to start value shoving thinner? makes no sense. Why are you trying to balance an overly wide bluffing range by adding more value hands... again, doesn't make sense. Villain prob shouldn;t have a shoving range on river here... or if he only shoves 44, then has to balance it with like, 1 combo of something. not value shove super wide so he can bluff all his missed draws, it's backwards logic.

I couldn't put it better than this: Tell me your screen name too!!

ty for checking back in mate!

I have to value shove vs this villain imo. I can definitely be perceived to be shoving a bluff there sometimes esp vs him. Surely if he has AJ or KJ with no diamond he'll be super inclined to bet calling as i never shove a nut flush otr and i have like no boat combos. I dunno, maybe overestimating

AJ and kj no diamond would be ******o double barrels there. Seems like maybe he does with a diamond but those seem like easy check calls. Seems like his only Bluffs are Adx and those fold. Basically you are praying u re coolering a flush that gets stubborn while always getting snapped by QJ JJ J6 and whatever pair boated on the turn. I mean, flush prob betcalls but I honestly don't know fullring dynamics if ppl routinely fold boats then this might well be too thin

Yeh you're right about AJ and KJ not betting twice. I just really stand by my hand being too strong not to shove. Itb, aggro villain, aggro dynamics = shove imo

Today was a pretty tilting day but really pleased to close out the month with a win!



Some hands too:

Funny hand vs a 90vpip whale:



Perhaps a little spewey by me vs a pretty bad reg:



lol a total blow up vs a passive fish. Not sure what went through my mind Posting for entertainment purposes only!



Horrible pot vs losing reg:

Monthly results

So the month is over and i'm definitely pleased with the results. Only downside is that this is pretty much all my profit for the year. Even though i won at a pretty high winrate i definitely think i ran super bad the last 12 days of the month. Then again i ran really good the first couple weeks so kinda swings and round abouts.

Graph



Stake breakdown



Really happy that most of the profit came from 6max for once. I may actually be really settling in there. Also playing 600nl FR every day now too which is cool. Hit 35.5k vpps this month too.

May as well post my yearly graph so far. Spoilering it as it's not great



In other news we won the final yesterday 2-0. It was a complete domination on our part but their keeper is just so fkn sick that we only scored 2. Will have a winners photo next week with our trophy!

Started listening to a really great band and this is my favourite song so far. Check it out



New month tomorrow so let's have more of the same please (less of the below ev and more of the 8bb/100!)

best of luck guys

Do you think 16bb/100 ev at 200 6max is sustainable for a 4bet oop calling endboss like you?

[spoiler]kind rgds from teh TimStone[/spoiler]

Obviously!

Did someone get his aces stacked?

hahaha

Started off the month with a ridiculous day!



Had a siiiiiiick whale at 400nl:

To show how bad he was, this hand was played... Sb was the reg, BB whale





passive fish:



Probable spew vs good reg:



One of the biggest folds i've ever made today too. Vs one of the nittiest regs at my limits. Everyone who doesn't play my games (and most that do) are going to think i'm the worst player ever showing this pot...



My monthly aim was to make 7k so i'm well on my way already. I'm sure there will be some variance along the way though

gl

88 is probably ok, set miners gonna set mine. Especially if he's not the player type to cold call QTs in that spot pre. Obviously any river reads help, like does he check back AQ and stuff like that.

JThh for the valuebluff imo

nice start man!haha first hand a missed set :P,could u explain the T8 hand bluff??b/c it seems from his part like a boat always...the 88 hand u might be right although he might shoved missed low draws but yea if he goes for value there ur pretty much dead.

Hi been reading your whole thread tonight, great thread and really respect your play from the hands you have posted, Wanted to you ask you a question regarding the hand with 55 i have found myself in the exact same spot more than once since the line you took mirrors how i would play, Just wondering if after the utg player shoves and the orignal raiser calls if calling there is also an option just as you did Im shoving in theat spot but often wonder if I lost any value since at that point our hand is basic ally face up once we back raise over the call of the orignal raiser Ive often wondered if im losing value there by not just calling in that spot, it reconfirms that im probaly not when i see other players who i respect making that play, just wondered your thoughts on that hand if the hand ever merits over calling instead of shoving over the top. Just wanted some of your thoughts on that hand if you ahve a minute. Looking at the board it is not dry as a bone but not that wet either, by reshipping are the likly draws evber going to fold such as 7 6 or others once they are laid that price. basiclly jsut wondering if flatting on the flop is ever a better idea, becasue as i said im almost always shoving jsut like you and sometimes ifee llike my hand is face up at that point and what hands am i acutally afraid of when the orignial raiser is likely on ak or aa thanks

Givern last month's results and the start you've made to this month things are definitely looking up. Good stuff.

Yah, he's just too tight/bum hunterish to make this a profitable call. I think that the only real bluff he can have is JTdd which is still a real long shot.

He did not play poker very well

Yeh the T8 wasn't great tbh. I just assumed that he'd bet his sets/2pairs ott, but this was a little silly on my part. Making this kind of assumption is just too risky for stacks. Obviously having a T limits his value combos drastically, and i thought he may raise fold a jack. Just a moment of stupidity really.

Hi mate! Thanks for the post and i'm glad you've enjoyed the whole thread You make some good points for calling the 55 however imo we look insaaaanely strong no matter what we do. If we call we just have a set and if we shove we equally have a set too. I think that overall it's pretty negligible whatever we do. Another thing is that we do actually give free cards to hands even like AA. I know this sounds really dumb, but if we overcall the flop we are not squeezing another buck out of AA as it's soooo obvious we have a set. Giving that hand 2 outs is just something we don't need to do.

Cheers Husk, it certainly feels pretty different atm

Today was another pretty sick day. I thought i was doing badly too...



Delightful runners:



vs really good reg:



Bluff vs standard reg:



vs passive fish. I should have folded turn urgh:



gl

Games were pretty great today - was busy most the day so only put a small session in



Bluff vs good reg:



vs standard reg:

In hand 1, do you call much preflop in this spot?

In who's shoes? Call the 3b as me or call the 4b as him with AK?

Call the 3B in MP v a LP open. I'm assuming with the games being a lot more aggro at your stakes you've gotta have a calling range here?

Yeh in general I have a calling range. Hands like 88-JJ or even QQ could be a call. AQs, AJs maybe some KQs if they're really aggro etc. A2s definitely a 4b or fold though
