Usually I am a man of a lot of words, but this time I wil keep it brief. No long intro, no biography. The past has passed.

Its time to take my game to another level (plenty of homework ahead) and start playing 100NL before the end of the year (plenty of grinding ahead).
Ill be playing 50NL 6m Zoom.

Expected WR incl RB should be around 7bb/100. Id have to play s bit less than 5k hands/day corresponding with 150k hands/month.
The challenge starts at this very moment and ends in 30 days from now. Ill be updating every day.

Stay tuned.

Cheers!

good luck brah

Gl son, should be good.

Tx for the wishes, looks like I needed em. Cant remember last time I had such a sweet suckout, even thogh.. this was the ultimate chance to get away from KK but its so hard when they both are fish.
Also BTN snap rejammed after CO went through his entire timebank- I expected him to holywood a bit at least w AA.

Few hours in the challenge, off to bit swingy but nice start.

Aand its bedtime.

GL bro

gl subbed

how do you add rackback in the HM2?
I add something like 33% but the yellow line never showed up

Ty ty.
Well there is this: https://gyazo.com/3707e649ac2022e23bfe4cad6e38f21a
Then there is this: https://gyazo.com/a26b71e372745227242201c1997e2e27
And It should work. At least thats all I did.


As for the estimation of ur RB u can look at how much vpp/hand u make. Go for best value (1600$ vor 100k FPP), dont forget to incorporate stellars.

Mine is not even that accurate coz I took the FR VPP/hand number while at 6m its even higher. Ill adjust that some time soon.

Showtime.

I did make the rakeback thing work, selected the wrong player lol

^think the hand kinda play itself given position, although I would prefer c/b turn and jam river if he checks and sigh call if he jams since he never jam KQ

Just did not see too many Jx in his range. If he 3bet me a bunch then yea he ought to defend AJs but that was not the case. What does he intend do do?
Flop an ace? Fdraw? How does he play when he misses to my 1/3 pot cBets?
Obv trips top kicker does do the trick
His jam is suspicous, agreed on that. Maybe its possible to herofold but yea.

I'm in for this.

his play is fine

Please elaborate why this play is fine (if u have the time).

Im wondering how such general statements can be made without knowing the ranges?
Is this true when steal 2% only?
Is it true when I steal 80% and 4b 60%?
What is the general postflop play? Are we fit or folding or playing back at BU (from SBs perspective)

Id be happy to learn something.

Welcome

In, gl !

Hello. Welcome on board.




Love it when they setmine when they shouldnt, donkbet when they shouldnt, and lose when... they probably should. Jam or fold here? Next time Ill know. Prolly felt too entitled there (winners tilt?). Either way BB is bleeding money here big time.

With this run I might just go for a 10k month.






Ach I was about to finish the post but let's work it out anyway.
Assume he has a rather tight range - (did not give him any sets, it did not seem logical).
So give him 99-QQ
My particular holding has already 37% against that range, and AK is pretty much the bottom of my range. If I jam All my AK+JJ+, A5s, 65s (debatable if I should jam the latter two), then we already have nearly 70% against his entire Donk-calling range.




Now lets see what happens if we make his range even wider and give him all PP down to 22 (if he is fish enough to donk/call off 99 then he likely does so with 55+ too (extra outs even).






And last but not least lets go into extremes and the worst case scenario.
He donk calls sets only, incl JJ-QQ.

Even against that range we are nearly flipping and with money in the pot its a nobrainer. And this is when the money goes in. The other 6,5/7,5 times our friend just checkfolds his 4$.





Now I like my jam

gl sir!

You played full ring before, correct? How would you compare Arp before it died to Baade?

gl, I'll be following

Gl man. Hopefully after I figure out wtf I'm doing wrong we can be rivals at the tables again.

Wrt to calling the 4b oop with ajss, when you 4b on the smaller side ajss flops at least kinda decent he certainly doesnt have to fold. The biggest question is if ajss was a good 3b against you to begin with. The turn crai when the flush comes in is probably not the greatest but given you're not folding ak or aa it can't be that bad and he's scared of a 4 floosh.

The call3b oop donk set line is pretty hilarious. He's obviously scared of a 4 straight and wants value from overpairs and while "we know" it's bad since hes handcuffing your ability to barrel, you did rip it allin with 4 outs... so you rewarded him. I tell myself to be happy he's calling 3bs oop with 44. There is no chance he's making that work profitablely long run.

Their bad play doesn't excuse your (not op specifically, but anyone) bad play. I have to tell this to myself constantly while making tougher folds.

And yea I'm never ever folding aa in that first spot. AK idk guess I don't hate your line either assuming you're doing this with qq aa type stuff too and think he's heroing TT

Gl with this challenge

Ty!

We were more fighting over the forum then out there - for real, there was like one AI clash that couldnt have been more standard. I 3b AK u defnded TT on KTx if I recall correctly. Dont know about encouners in my earlier- fish days on stars. So yea, come back, u owe me some monies and ill happily take it :P

Thanks for the wishes and the input. Its apparent that postflop SB played his hand as good as he could.
I wasnt good enough to find a crushing fold (AK no spade might maybe pull this off too).
My question if long term playin AJs oop in 4b pot can ever show higher EV than a fold.
We can find a bunch of reasons to call if we want to. As for the second hand Im not sure If u approve my play or not.
U say their bad play does not excuse my bad play but then u dont hate it. If its bad its bad, i mean.
And yes I will be shoving QQ there too - maybe flatting just some of my range - simply to avoid action killers, turns like 5, K, A.
In particular case he has top of his range vs my bottom. If I know thats the case my play is obvious.



1st day slowly but surely approaching an end. Played OK I think, and ran very well. Lets see what tomorrow brings.
By now very tired thinking of some changes I have to make if i want to make it physically.

Spend at least one hour outside, preferably walking.
Drink less coffee since my stomach has become oversenitive to it. Maybe replace with tea?

Almost forgot replying. Yes thats correct. I played FR temporarily for it was a game of less variance with comparable hourly. (I had some BR restrictions)
6m however has always been my main game. It is simply more aggressive - forcing u to play/showdown wider ranges. Regs arent that much tougher just have a bit bigger egos. Its also much faster and u get to play less hands/hour (fastfolding less in general) but finding ursef in way more spots..
Half of the time u are battling for the blinds.
Also 4x Baade wil drain way more of ur energy than 4x Arp. Guess that's about it.

OP beastin', best of luck bud.
