Sleep pattern is ****ed as usual, some things never change . Woke up stupidly late yesterday, so I've planned to not sleep tonight (currently 6:35am) in an attempt to reset it all. . This also means I need to play 3k hands to make up for yesterday and now today. Currently 1.5k/3k.
Pretty horrendous session so far. Made a bad call OTR for 40bb that was made too fast, so my goal of "not making any mistakes down to playing too fast" has already been ****ed . I've thought of an idea to set a 30 min timer going as I play, and when it times down to 0 I'll sit out and re-read the notes I have to help tame my play and not let it get too sloppy. Let's hope it helps, cus I tilt myself so hard when making the same mistake more than once.
Hands:
1. Just knew he was FOS... obv pre and turn are questionable, but against that guy I think it's fine to exploit call
Welcome guys! Seen you at the tables as well Bonsaiooo, hope you're crushing!

Decided to stream a bit today to see how it was again and to keep me awake so I could reset my sleep schedule. I think it went pretty well, had a consistent trend of 30 viewers at a pretty dead time when people are away grinding/working regular jobs. Might do some more in the future, although when I fire it up I'm pretty much giving away 2-3bb's of EV as there's no way I play as good on stream.
I managed to finish the 3k hands. I'll be honest and say that I'm not happy with my play at all. In terms of the quantity of mistakes; they weren't many, but the mistakes I did end up making were relatively big and stupid/unnecessary. (****)
This may sound random and a bit weird but it was highlighted to me by a friend couple of people: I have a trait of doing things too quickly, which quite often ends up with it being rushed, and Poker has proven they are right. It's fairly consistent with most things I do when I actually come to think about it. Maybe it comes down to my impatience, I'm not entirely sure, but it needs to be nipped in the bud asap as it's causing me to make far too many mistakes at the tables .
Anyway. Some hands! Feedback is greatly appreciated ):
1. Vs 2 fish. If UTG were a reg then I'm not sure what I'd be doing on turn? But AP both were 1 tablers and are going to make a lot of mistakes when calling.
Turn: ($30.50) 8 (3 players)
BB bets $1, UTG raises to $20, Hero raises to $114.52 and is all-in, BB calls $35.50 and is all-in, UTG calls $70 and is all-in
River: ($247) A (3 players, 3 are all-in)
Spoiler:
Results: $247 pot ($2.50 rake)
Final Board: 9 J 5 8 A
Hero showed 9 9 and won $0.00 (-$100 net)
BB showed A 2 and lost (-$46.50 net)
UTG showed Q T and won $244.50 ($144.50 net)
I'd 3bet flop hand one errry time against weaker players.
Hand two - not seeing that many flop raises even though I bet a lot so I kind of haven't bothered with a 3betting range here yet. As played, I don't think you're ever dead which makes the case for folding with so close to direct odds pretty meh. Crappy spot but I think you have to peel one off.
Hand three makes my head spin. Don't see a strong case for or against either of the three options given how hard it is to estimate how villains play here.
The timer to remind yourself of key things mid session sounds like a good idea, I may well steal it Didn't know you streamed. Make sure to post when you're streaming next and I'll be sure to drop by.
H1: vs fsh, just raise for value, they will always call if they like their hands, a lot of them(even semi-fish) call 10x flop overbets with flush draws, just raise to 20 OTF and get it in on most turns
H2: call OTT, you have implied odds to draw into your FH, also he can't have QQ
H3: it depends on how you're viewed in the tables, if you're a nitty(and you probably are, from the hands I saw here), then check-folding to a jam is fine.
But since the backdoor heart draw didn't get there, you could advocate for a check-call, since villain is bluffing almost all his FDs OTR.
I think jamming is fine if villains think you can throw some triple barrels here with a backdoor heart draw, turn 9T into a bluff.

1 - yea 3b flop is good as well
2 - I just realised that I misread the spot ott, at the time I had myself drawing to the house through the A/2 (4 outs), but completely forgot about the Q/8. Now realising that I have 10 outs it's a clear call. Whoops.

I don't stream often at all, but if I ever do plan to stream then I'll throw a message in here. It's http://www.twitch.tv/NhsRS just in case anyone is interested

1 - I'd raise HU but 3w makes it a lot different esp when we're 3bing (yes the fish's 1bb is effectively a check, but my 3b won't be deemed like a 2b would). Both will be fine IMO
2 - we don't have much implied odds tbh, but yea I did miscalculate the amounts of outs I was drawing to at the time.

Hand 3 - the way I look at this spot now is that I would xf to a jam and xc vs a smaller bet, not just for the sheer pot odds, but because I think villain will make some small bets w/ T8/Trip Ax as they can't jam for value can try to bet small for it. Also the only FD's that I can see villain jamming as a bluff otr are KT/78, the rest should be combo draws w/ a pair as well that will mostly xb - people aren't turning many thin sdv hands into bluffs here imo.
Low volume today due to me being pretty annoyed with myself regarding my play. I am still playing too quickly and carelessly. A lot of the stuff I do right now is instinctively actioned before I even care to think about it being the most optimal play, and it's tilting me to hell and back. To try to counteract this, I am going to one table and make sure that I take (at least) 10 seconds in all spots, bar basic preflop decisions, and in that 10 seconds, vigorously remind myself of what I should be thinking until it is cemented into my natural thought process. Hopefully that makes sense. It prob sounds a bit O.T.T, and it is, but I'm kinda OCD with these things and I'll drive me round the wall if not addressed.

In the first hand, vs 2 fish with top set on that wet board, bet way more, at least 75%
the std vs whales is just pot/overbet, vs semi-fish though it's better to go with 75%-90%, these guys are pretty inelastic when facing bets, if they like their hand, they will call. Specially iin wet boards, although in dry boards with top set you can bet smaller because they can't have much of a hand or a draw to go after
If you are playing too fast, try drinking some camomile tea before playing. It slows you down pretty much, tastes good and is good for health.
Is that some sort of green tea? Urrghhh! lol

Having a pot odds thing in ur hud is an insult to everyone who isn't computer in there head! pot ods is someting, in you're heart or in you're soul, something that can't be studied in numerically, something that trancends standard method of thought and is the One True Path unto inlightenment.
so damn amoral AND imorral (sucks bad that we dont live in a society inwhich one implys the other!)

Gotta disagree. That logic would say that using any sort of HUD whatsoever is wrong.
Deal with the deck you're given, and do whatever it takes to get as far you can with it.

I assumed the post you replied to was a level surely?
**** it was sarcasm, now I feel dumb. In my defense, I haven't slept for over a day

Finally grinded out my Supernova goal, super happy to knock it outta the way . I've only ever had Gold Star before this month so going from that to Supernova is nice accomplishment for me . I've managed to earn almost 20% of my lifetime VPP's in this last month lol
I'm gonna be taking the rest of today, tomorrow and Monday off to study and relax. I haven't had a day off this year, and even tho I haven't grinded nearly as many hands as some, I'm feeling pretty worn out and a bit overwhelmed with how the year has gone thus far. Even with all the progress, I am fully aware that I'm still making a ton of mistakes, so hopefully I can spot and act on them for March!
