What's your reasoning behind the donk, c/c, donk line in the TT hand?

Re: ABC poker they say :) 10nl -100nl

Not a very good spot to bluff, shoving 44 is retarded. Maybe you he could do this with AA. At the time i thought he had a 7 but there was no way i was folding 2nd nuts.


29k hands down, 11k more to go. Woot woot.

Donk line is to value bet vs fish in the BB, looking back at it now i should have bet the turn as well. Turn i was thinking about check raising the fish (no idea why) but he check. So when the button bets i call to try and get the fish to come along rather than check raise.

Bet/ check raise line i use to much. I should just be bet bet bet unless i have a solid reason to do something different.

Re: ABC poker they say :) 10nl -100nl

36k hands down 4k more to go. Shall grind them in the morning. Need 240 more fpp to clear my $200 bonus. Need to keep chugging along.

Had a bit of mental tilt today. I was fearing having a big loosing session and wiping all my winnings. This kind of led to spew and a bit of tilt for a couple of sessions.

During the evening i reasoned to myself that i had played 30K plus hands and was up 20+ Bi. I drew confidence from this as it meant i have made a lot of good decisions to date, far more good ones than bad ones.

Here are some hands i butchered. When making a decision i need to be calm and relaxed. Don't click buttons, Think about what i want my bets going to accomplish. Don't just click buttons. Don't!



    BTN: $10.15 (101.5 bb)
    SB: $16.71 (167.1 bb)
    Hero (BB): $12.85 (128.5 bb)

        Interesting points
        1. 29 winning sessions, 11 loosing sessions
        2. $44 biggest winning session, $41 biggest loosing session
        3. 1687 vpp @ .041 per hand
        4. Biggest upswing 16.7 BI, downswing 8.8 BI
        5. Most money won in a hand 20.3, Most money lost in a hand 14.63

        Going to reward myself with lots of gaming and then start 25nl on Sunday. Will probably play 2 25nl tables and 1 table on 10nl to start off. Feels good to put in some volume without tilting to much.

        Hero ??? Thoughts at the time, Q8s, q9, 98s, k9s etc are the only hands i think that can call that i beat. But are all those hands going to call? I would weight that towards no. So shoving was to thin and a check call to get value from bluffs? Do i need a read for that.? Didn't cross my mind to check fold.


        Post session my thoughts are.
        River is to thin to shove. Check calling might be bad as 1. We don't have a read that he will bet missed draws, do we need a read for that. St8 draws that missed have some showdown value (pair plus draws) which i think will check behind. I don't think he will shove worse for value.

        So i think Check folding is best, we have some showdown value and think he might check behind some one pair hands.


        Still a bit lost but i think thats what i would do.
        i would put a small block bet b/f line to make those hands call. its better than c/c and letting him bluff his air and he makes a big bet on the river. its gonna put you on a tough spot.

        Fantastic results there Gracias. Well played and congrats on not tilting.

        Small sample but if you can get the blinds results a bit better then you can crush even more!

        Ya blinds was pretty terrible in that sample.

        Right goals for this week is 30k hands @ 25nl. Focus on making +ev decisions and being in the moment.

        I will allow myself a 30 BI shot @ 25nl. I'm a bit anxious but off i go
