Had been playing 4 for age's and added 1 at first and things went OK and thought Id try another but it was obv too soon. Played about 1000 hands at 6 and didn't feel too bad about my play till i looked at my DB and the big ds. Still live and learn.

Yeah is dangerous, especially if you run good for a bit and think you have it down. But definitely 1 at a time and for a long time would be my advice.

Results unimportant but have a monthly graph with like 200 hands from 31st Sep, all at 2-5nl reg & zoom & about 300 hands of 10nl reg at the end.



Rolled to shot take at 10nl.

1 - ez
2 - 20+bb @ reg & zoom over 2.6k hands each.
3 - 26bb/100 over 5k hands of zoom, -5bb/100 over 6k of reg
4 - Going to do this tomorrow
5 - Played zoom, would be silly to take it out of my game completely because there are times when I only can grind for 30mins and I don't have time for reg tables, definitely split my volume more though which is good.

This the best line?

Against someone with his passive calling station type stats I think it is fine, I'm assuming he has called down with any piece of the board before?

He has TPTK beat a lot here.

This is the first hand where we got to the river but hes def one of those who will chase a draw at any cost.

Your river bet is too small.

made it half pot on the river because that card weakens our range but I haven't done the calcs if I can still make it 3/4 or pot on this river. He probably has most kings in his range.

As deep as we are in that hand, its not stupendously deep but still deep for TPTK, I don't think we should be make a very big river bet if we are folding to any raise.

As it is, we weren't far off putting in almost 100bb.

EDIT: Pot, Pot then half pot does kind of suggest we don't like the river card though.

Thanks guys, am thinking I should prob move up as this month I just ran bad

Thinking of posting my stats....

@frozen - You're playing like 5nl reg tables right? In which case it's really unimportant. You should probably also have plenty of strong FDs in your range here too anyway

@Frozen_Starlight , as played , check river.
buts thats how i would of played it personally, with possible boat/flush draws getting there.

That table was nl10 deep reg table on Swedish site.

I would probably check behind before aswell but I think im losing too much value from all the other crap K's he will call down with. He probably will only raise the nuts if he plays like normal stations.

What materials did you study?

Please don't close this thread till there is an answer to that question btw.

Basically everything but MSS?

Played very little poker. (And lost when I did)
Couldn't get interested in NFL. (And got crushed at fantasy)
Didn't smile much.

I am the fail whale.

Why do you think it's bad?

I suppose my question was more what is MSS but I found out. Had never heard that abbreviation before, didn't realise BR had a new book.

What is MMS!?

Not the greatest last few days but I'll take it.
