200/400/800nl shorthanded line check

SB is a massive, splashy whale. In for several k, stopped topping off. Tilting hard, over bluffing everywhere atm. Don’t have a great feel for what sizings v taking w different hand classes though on riv

Everyone else reg.

$605E

OTTH

Pre-flop: Hero straddles $8 utg and has K 3. V open $30 SB. Hero calls.

Main V (EP) is the same whale from last HH.

$820E~

OTTH

Pre-flop: Hero straddles $8 utg, and has A A. V opens $24 next to act. Hero 3b $85. V calls.

Flop ($176): 10 8 3. Hero c-bets $88. V calls.

Turn ($352): 10 8 3 2. Hero?

$645E heading to the turn.

K3 hand would just XB, even vs more passive guys not much reason to bet K3 high

AA hand would go bigger pf, bigger flop, he is not folding much preflop, then on flop his continue range is probably same vs 1/2 or 2/3.
as played would go 1/2 turn and jam river.

nice progress, remember when you started the thread tried to follow but too many updates so hard to keep up

ty for the feedback!

these two hands were actually from different sessions so V not spewing like crazy at the time of this HH but still think hammering the bet button and going large everywhere performs best for sure

Hero checks. V checks back.

River($352): 9. Hero $176. V c and lose w 8 7.

would hv been an interesting spot if this particular V jammed.



im a big big fan of quantity over quality if I am also constantly analyzing my play (which I am).

this lifestyle also suits me v well as I don’t currently aspire to be happy, cultivate a plethora of meaningful relationships, exercise religiously etc like many grinders.

every time I try to implement balance into my life i find I start developing more appreciation, gratitude, enjoyment for off the felt experiences—- which is a big no for me in part as it makes grinding & studying all the time seem less appealing.

a bubble is far more conducive to my overall improvement which is what’s most important to me.

gl to you as well!

I like blocking turn again w/ K3

Main V (SB) is unknown. No relevant notes, timing tells etc.

$310E~

OTTH

Pre-flop: V RFI $6. Hero 3b $20 BB with A K. V calls.

Flop ($43): A 2 2. V donk $25. Hero calls.

Turn ($93): A 2 2 5. V continues $62. Hero calls.

RIver ($217): A 2 2 5 7. V jams $195.

What are you clicking AP?

Think flop is a clear raise to a healthy size in hindsight as it’s likely random V has Ax or a FD w this 60% donk in this configuration imo

lost three 2-4k pots today so that was mehhhhh (including one super bbv suck out) but not sweating it gotta keep pushing

calling it for today though.

just happy to be mixing it up honestly

Hero has nitty image

$1450E~

OTTH

Pre-flop: V limp SB. Hero r $16 w J J. V calls.

Flop ($32): A K 9. V checks. Hero bets $10. V calls.

Turn ($52): A K 9 5. V checks. Hero bets $40. V calls.

River ($132): A K 9 5 6. V checks. Hero $105.

Thoughts?

Turn is really questionable; river is pretty clear punt imo. Just really poor combo (especially w the Jc)to choose from; blocking ton of folds. And I think just way too strong to turn into a bluff bvb as it is.

ty for dropping in

ty for the feedback

yeah- probably a punt don’t mind an over reliance on my (currently poor) intuition in game though

logic was that V clicking fold w mostly all his draws that don’t contain a pear like the Q10, QJ, Jxcc type of stuff OOP and v my sizing & image OTT

was thinking all Kx and a healthy bit of Ax clicking fold otr at the time as well

wheels up in less than ten days!

have three reservations so far, plan to add/modify etc

ideally we’re not on another 10k+ ds then from a psychological POV ofc however going to keep blastin, playing super deep, short handed, big etc anyways in the right spots till then.

from minimal experience I think thinking about the noise too much (this stuff) causes more harm than good.

but lots can happen and would certainly be a burden to step away from the online grind buried v healthy on the month and going into the next one in a completely different grind

It helps to remind myself that I was buying into live games for $300 less than a year ago though so just grateful for the progress that’s made in this past year. Nice benchmark

Hopefully 3-5 years into the career, a few WSOPs later etc we’re crushing high stakes

^ hype!

got in K K v Q 10 on 7 5 4 for pilesssssss today and did not win so that has me on edge but what can u do

we want whales making moves like that

V is splashy whale, stuck a few k at the table. Likes to click buttons aggressively v me w lots of trash as i give him plenty of action on earlier streets.

$820E~

OTTH

Pre-flop: Hero r $16 w 6 6 MP. V 3b BB $50. Hero calls.

Flop ($102): 10 8 6. V checks. Hero b $51. V x/r $102 quickly.

What are you clicking? $665E behind after v click back.

V has all kind of J7s etc that probably clicking fold v flop 3b. Tough to know what range v quickly min click w though.

I think this board is too dynamic to start getting cute on. He has so many hands to continue with. I'm 3b flop and looking to stack off.

ty for sharing your thoughts sir

————
this is not a brag in the slightest but I’m very grateful for the amount of money I have won in my first year~ playing cards seriously and try not too lose sight of that and the fact that I’ll probably be able to do this forever and thrive if I wanted to and health permits etc

with that being said, we are down-swinging real bad and I def think the sky is falling

it’s going to be so awesome to be crushing the biggest public live games in USA#1 a few years from now though so that keeps me pushing through all these 3-5k pots that keep getting shipped the other way

i m going to take a nap after getting some delivery

need some sugar

Hero 3b $275, V calls.

Turn ($652): 10 8 6 10.

V checks. Hero? $495E behind

sizing q

$160

I'd bet half and maybe even jam. This is a vulnerable boat and still many disaster rivers lurking like a T, 8, and 9-A. I'd feel more comfortable "trapping" with the T in our hand. If he already has a bigger boat well it is what it is.

I like $225 OTT. Doesn't scare him away and prices him in ever so nicely.

ty for sharing your thoughts, gentlemen. results are not entertaining (as they often shouldn’t be )

I agree~, although it’s important to note that as usual I do think it’s important to have some flop 3b—> block turn bluffs though. otherwise this line isn’t good imo

Recs will click fold vs this sizing occasionally too w overpairs, 86, 99, 77, 87, 67 etc (inelasticity to sizing works both ways and many recs will make bad folds here not assigning enough importance to the price they’re being given) but if we only 3b flop w sets+ or use a different sizing etc w all our hand classes bc V is a splashy whale we have no bluffs to choose from in the first place.

Hero $140, v folds

Hero has been fairly active, mostly just a function of short-handed.

Hero calls and loses to 7 6. V speeeeding pre, something to be aware of combinatorically


Hero bets $175 and V just calls w aces up, but not sure if my plan v jam was correct. i was planning to click f

i don't like glossing over that stuff in hh review

would be $760~. Thoughts?
