Seeing this hand here today made me reflect over it. I will bluff this river a lot of times (I would not actually but I have a wide bluffing range in this spot, wider than usual but as played...) and betting J, T & 9 for value and VILLAIN is aware of it so worst hands that can call me are Alow, Klow, Qlow and Jlow and VILLAIN is in good position for a checkraise with two possible better hands and check call nines because of potcontroll is important here VILLAIN will not lead out with a nine here especially since we are at the bubble. The pot is big as it is and I should have checked behind here now that I got my bet by raising after the second draw imo.

"Professionals are predictable, amateurs are dangerous"
Indeed true especially if the pro's can predict what other pro's will try n do to take the amateurs cash

Happened yesterday when a guy patted J-low on first draw and bluff+won river so the hand after he raises UTG and I look down at 345xx and decide to go mangas on him/her and small blinds reaction was to cap a 3card draw. I tossed the 5 and drew to 34 and don't remember the rest of the hand that I won.

Lazy Sunday

Trying to improve HU game and todays experiment was a failure (rake-lost). The idea was to fold 764KQ type of hands from the bb but if all 5 cards was J or lower for example 674JJ I called and it was pretty much 50/50 if it hit or did not hit and then there is villains hits or none hits. The thought was that having all 5 cards J or lower is rare in villains hand if I already hold 5 of them and pretty much going single draw in the pre-draw except that we draw to a 8 or 9 in worst case instead of drawing to jacks (and with jacks iand tens n the muck it decreases villains chances of hitting a bluffcatcher). Second draw if 764JJ draws 2 and hits something like 764TA it is pretty much c/c and toss the T but if it hits 764TJ I keept the T. Bcuz of rake I dont know if I won or not (playing multitables and third player joined occasionally) but I am just gonna go back to the way I played before (like a hooker).

So tilted atm I am thankful that o*gee aint sitting 2/4 right now

My guess is that I hit some sort of downswing in the 2,2$ tournaments. I mostly lose when blinds get high and I sit at bb and players limp forcing me to play the hand, so I draw 3 and hit nr6 and ofc one of the villains hits nr1 and by 4betting after first draw im pretty much pot commited but praise Allah that has given me a good run in cash games these latest days. Here are two hands back to back 15$ profit in 20 cent poker.

If Zlatan lived during the wild western in North America he would win duels without having to turn around when he shoots. https://youtu.be/a-vXHMHDT3Y

After a long streak of losses I managed to finally bink a 2-7 tournament that should cover the losses of the other ones. Here is video of final table (3 left made a deal 13$ each and 11$ for the winner)
https://youtu.be/872Emo-KH8U

I think I have to adjust my range a bit when it comes to tournaments. I am used to play high variance style (going into pots with hands like 348xx vs 1 player with a better draw and the third player that is in with a str8draw and hands like that). I guess I have to leave the steals until final table and maybe not going bulldozer with draws to rough eights from CO and maybe push those type of hands to opening from dealer or later (if pot is unopened) and try n respect limpers. If I only could bink the 100$ guarantee once more..

I heard somewhere that in Vegas high stakes PLO ring Sammy Farha raises the pot pre-flop, flop, turn... and on river he asks if VILLAIN wants to chop. Is that really true? After reading Farhas book on omaha I can't say that I am surprised by that fact if its true. He has some good insight in fixed limit omaha and O8 tough.

Finally I shipped the tournament that has given me most bad luck in the donkaments namely the 75$ guarantee,
here is the video ----> https://youtu.be/MooZsJvKVEo

In zee finaltable when we are three and have even stacks I ask for a chop but got declined by one player and I am now thankful for that (I ask since my 3handed play sux even more than my HU play). 52 entrants btw and video starts just before late reg with around 20ish players left.

I would be very happy if I could get some pointers in 3-handed and HU poker.

Well this was pretty successful...

Cash game HU video with me on the other end https://youtu.be/dofjVa6vyZE

VILLAIN plays with 1Buyin stop loss when it comes to HU but reloads in ring games. If I could I would record longer sessions (at least 25 minutes would be good, problem is that after 8-10 minutes people start joining in and if two do it at the same time it is harder to say "HU pls" and expect something) I would put out more HU+3handed videos and get pointers on where/what/how problems are.

Also the soundtrack continues on after the video stops but that iz cuz the song is awesome and performed by the great Jascha Heifetz.

HU limit games so fun but rake so high.

No pointers from me sorry I'm terribad at td

Sometimes a cleansed mind works better than a filled one.

edit: HU in micros work well against players like me that likes to get in their money quick.

Scored again in the 75$ guarantee tournament but this time we decided when reaching HU for a 50/50 split to a total of 17 buy ins each. There seems to be a problem with youtube on uploading ATM but this video also contains (besides a cash ring) two HU duels in cash game, 1vs a new guy and the later one vs a old rival of mine.

New video https://youtu.be/VDxxpzMH_M4

HU cash game at 39:47 and HU cash game at 55:38 so y'all bumhunters get in line.

First place in the 50$ guarantee when three was left I was in chip lead and we agreed to a deal according to how many chips a player had. I got 7$ below first price money and I regretted two seconds after all agreed to have at least 9$ for the first place finisher... well youtube video coming up. I think i'll only continue recording cash game sessions in the future and maybe final tables in donkaments but we'll see.

900$ more till my br-goal and considering taking the oooogeee express
