bumhunting open shovers? hell yea

I was referencing his commentary at the end of that hand.

some ones been hard at it in the lab

I would strongly recommend dropping at least one of those entries. You seem to be doing fine but there's no way you're learning anywhere near as fast as you could if you had some time to breathe and look for more pieces of information.

Your hourly won't change much, you drop the volume some but will yield a higher winrate by simply removing a tiny thoughtless mistake here and there. Long term you would be making a very smart investment since your thought process would evolve quite a bit by simply putting more thought into every decision.

Just imho ofc, and yes I'm one of those guys who can't play my A game for more than 450h/hour or so.

thanks for comments

i usually play 3. When i feel good i go to 4, which isnt often tbh. 99% of time volume is 3 tables.

So its just one of those months where i cant win hands.....

im just moaning

Honestly mate I really feel where you are coming from. Feel free to moan, we are only human. All I can say is that I hope things improve and don't let this knock your confidence. Best of luck.

The river jam with AA is pretty thin imo

cheers dude. I noticed you are also on a DS....Sucks hey. Oh well poker has big swings and its a good time to review hands and find leaks.


mmmm yeah its this but really are we checking back river??? I doubt very much.

Hey guys, can anybody link me to some awesome pgc threads that are great inspiration? Ive read ones like ishter, magorko, otb but are there others even older ones?

Appreciated

SID's old PGC was fun to read.
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/17...e-pt2-1509400/
Appreciated

apparently this was one the best PGC thread on 2+2. legend etc
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/17...e-done-912193/

can't be more standard, can even jam KT+ vs some people. if you are not vb AA in that spot, u definitely missing tons of value

It was my gut reaction as well, and I think it's true in most scenarios. That said I was surprised how powerful a strat it is for villain to just tank it out with an unexploitable calling range that folds a bunch of Kx, against which AA is a check.

This spot looks like a complete disaster in terms of how people actually play it.

Are you using StarsHelper to show BB instead of $ ?

Do you recommend it for other reasons?

No worries man, and yea you are right, this is the best time to do reviews to find where you suck the most. I'm sure you will figure it out, as will I! GL!

thanks guys for suggestions

starshelper is just good for bet sizes, open sizes and convert to bb

man im getting crushed. Losing all pots. Heaps of pf coolers and top 2 vs sets etc.

today was short and sweet

Down 21.5bi for month now. Stars roll $4.65k plus i have 600 in rb. So nearly need to drop down. **** this. So annoying considering how much work i put in

that's some tough sessions man, keep your head up!

AJ, I think just xc down is fine with turned top two after a fish minraising flop, he has less combos of A3/A9 and from my experience minraises means made hands and not draws.

99, Don’t like xjam otf, you are just folding out his bluffs and valuecutting yourself heavily. If I have a big sample on the guy, not folding pre can be fine but we need a pretty big sample for BTN 4b stats to converge. Not sure about it, but if he 4bets much could be better to 5b jam than to play this hand OOP, it's a pretty tricky situation.

JJ+QTs, ul

QJs, ul but have a question; would you vbet river if blank and villain checks?

99 Looks almost as bad as clanty's TT hand.

fu Meale

Don't think 99 is badly played at all. X/rip looks good v an active villain.
X/c is probably more std though.

unlucky

Is flatting 99 here better than a 5b jam or fold strat?

hey guys,

So last night and this more i really had a realization of how badly ive been playing since i moved up to 100z. Ive played around 85k hands so far and losing at .7evbb. Yeah there is some variance but i really truly feel its simply because ive been clicking buttons. Im putting myself in marginal spots, stacking off too light, making many small mistakes that add up significantly and not playing solid poker.

I look back to the month i had when i crushed 50z and made 3-4k, it was because my mental game was on point nearly every session, i was playing very well and not spewing.

So now after a review, i feel good again mentally and realise how i need to be playing.

I played another session yesterday afternoon and won back two BI and played another just now.

Here is todays graph:

have a good weekend peepl

You're welcome

not sure if this is the first time I'm making a comment here but ... hey man cool thread, been following for some time now... gl

when you say "This is an example of a mistake thats costing me money" in KQ hand... on what exactly do you mean ?

turn is a fold multiway. his range is super strong. worst case he has like SS hand.

hi ho hi ho its back to 50z i go......this pisses me off. i kinda feel like a failure. the reason i play is the challenge, not the money, so back to 50 to grind some more and get more confidence. Im not running well but play can also def improve.

My stars roll is 5k usd to ample for 100 but i feell like maybe some hands at 50z with some positive variance could be good for me.

So this is the results of my 100z shot. Im 11.5bi under ev. Really 90k hands is small sample but still i have leaks i can plug at 50z which is cheaper for me

100z shot graph

\

Today results

all stakes combined



-$1021 at 100z (ev - $465)
+$201 at 50z (ev $184)



ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh poker can suck balls sometimes

Maaan if you have a 5k roll why not just stay at 100nl? Even if you are breakeven there currently (assuming you're not marginally winning), you'll get more rakeback and be able to gather hands on opponents while learning the 100 meta.
