BR-1086

Well that was quick. Bottom set vs flopped straight vs a fight and AKs vs AA against a reg. GG 50nl shot round 2.

Finding leaks like Sherlock Holmes. This is for call flop cbet and stakes >20nl. Will see what i can learn from this and start crushing again! It seems like i have turned myself into a floating whale this month, in order to not play so passive and compete for alpha reg vs regs. Good old saying proven true once again. Once you move up in stakes, you might start overplaying your hands.

You're possible calling the wrong hands. I doubt floating super-wide IP is going to be bad at 20NL because barrelling is everyone's biggest leak. Possibly bluffraise some turns and rivers.

Before i have bluffing strats, it's best to play more passive right?
Also going to check what it looks like when i'm IP. Being OOP (blinds) seems to be leaking this month.

BlaneH - how have you got 80% rakeback on 888?

Would be interested to know because as I'm sure you realise rake is ridiculous on that site even though the games are good.

He's playing on the USA site iirc.

No RB to be had on euro site, you can get decent deposit bonus tho by negotiating with their online support that always pops up when u go to deposit

Ah damn.

One day I swear to god I'll be sat at the 100nl tables where rake won't be such an issue!

Yea I play on 888 NJ and its a temporary promo.

Recovered my BR during a late night 50NL session. Games were great and my AA held up AIPF vs 4 guys...

BR-1220

Still 140 down from my highest point but good volume today and I'll aim to play more late night games and stick to 4tabling.

vs unknown opponent, do you like this check otr? unsure of his range that donks into my utg range. think QT doesnt xc turn. so FD made sense

Raise flop surely?

yeah, think i should.
Thought about raising turn but raising flop has all the benefits. If he does have the JJ/QT we still have equity then. Getting it in OTT with bad SPR is really bad for our winrate.

Raise pre should be higher, raise flop, which would let you bet more on turn. As played, bet fold that river all day.

Completed mission week on Stars. Pretty solid poker in 10nl. Just shame that it's in $, not € Roll is close to 20 BI's in 16nl (i call it hexadecimal stake). Good stake as a stepping stone for 25nl. But after completing a digital logic course, those hexa-numbers might annoy a bit

Cry-call?

I would make a crying fold

In future bet/fold river yourself.

Probably just fold now.

I agree. The bet fold make it easier to play but I was wondering about the sizing. How big would you make your river bet knowing that you are bet folding?

Tree fiddy

What bits of his range do you think we're trying to get value from? Do you think it's very likely that villain has 44 or 22? Do you think villain only calls the flop AND turn with Tx? Do you think villain has AA in his range here very often?

Not a single fish was found on that table!
I fold that river. 1.5% 3-bet is quite weak. Usually more aggressive players (who might bluff here) have higher 3-bet.

Lol yeah this too. Move tables ffs, literally everyone there is solid.

Had a pretty good session, will take a shot @NL5 tomorrow probably. I have a few questions.

1. I play on stars, and assigned a hotkey to 'fast fold'. The thing is I play on 3 or 4 tables at the same time, and I happened a few times that just as I'm going to press the hotkey another table requieres my action and pop up, so I end up folding in a wrong table. Today I folded QQ, AA and AK (and another trivial hands). It's pretty tilting (and -EV). Anyone else ever had the same problem? How did you work around it? I tried deactivating the 'pop up table when action is required', but I do like that feature the rest of the time. I'd like something more like 'when a table pop-up deactivate hotkeys for 1 second' or something like that.

2. I'm using HEM 2, is there a way to mark hands for review directly in the table? I saw TDA on one of his videos do it on PT (it has a 'mark current hands for review' option, or something like that, in the table HUD), but I can't find anything similar on HEM.

Are you playing normal tables? Works fine if you get the 'Window under mouse' to be active and use hotkeys while 4 tabling Zoom.

I'm playing Zoom.
Didn't had 'Window under mouse' option.
Thanks, will see how it works on next session.

Set out a new record today. Played poker for almost 15 hours. Coffee is awesome stuff.
(Small brag) I played on iPoker:

But i also played on Microgaming

Overall pretty good day. Day started with a heater but came to realize that they don't last long. No spectacular winnings, but still nice increase for overall roll. Microgaming roll is almost busted. Not sure if i want to keep playing there. Only getting 30% rb. Rake is the same as in iPoker, so there would have to be really fishy tables. Victor's wheel promotion is not as profitable as it used to be.
Came to realize again that you don't have to make big bluffs in order to win. Graphs started going down when i started heatening up at one point. Also played too many tables, could have reduced them to 6, but the games were good. Red line is much more stable now since i keep folding to 3-bets and don't float so much.

Pocket pairs are just no fun at all.
