Hi All,
I have been playing poker for years, after crushing at a home game a couple years in a row I decided to try to play online. After losing a lot online for years and then transitioning live and, though I was likely a winning player strategy wise, I let tilt and C-Game and poor bankroll management ruin me over and over.
Well, something clicked recently, I've shed a handful of hands of my preflop open and call ranges and I've become a lot more ABC at the microstakes and it's definitely paying off.
April '20 Graph:
Additionally, I've been streaming as well which I find fun, really just as another hobby tinkering with streaming software. I do this with less tables, only 4, but off stream ill play 8 at a time.
Adding more tables keeps me from overthinking spots, which I like, especially at the microstakes where goofy two pair combos regularly stack my overpairs. It's a lot easier for me to fold to aggression when I have 7 other tables flashing in front of me. One thing I'd definitely like to go through at one point is an A-Game course around mental poker. Like many I can get frustrated and fixate on some rec who is stacking me with any two. Being patient and waiting for a spot is always the best course
Sample of this below:
but alas, there are still spots i find myself confused in..
Whether its bluffing a spot against a villain who will never fold top pair no matter how bad the board:
or just being unable to fold a strong hand on dry boards (having an overpair when villain makes a weird two pair on turn and check jams over me)
Near-Term Goals:
> Move up to 10nl this month
> Gain more traction on the stream
Long-Term Goals
> Poker as an income stream
> Obtain a better computer

Last night I took a shot at 10nl and definitely wasn't playing my A-Game after losing some annoying pots. Managed to win a 3-way all in with the overcard suited connector GSSFD vs top pair and bottom set which wasn't the greatest spot, since the TP hand was short, but im never folding. Also ran KK into AA which is whatever.
Here are the major losses from last night, would appreciate some feedback on these spots
. I've included their stats next to their stack sizes for reference.
This is the same villain as above. This hand was actually played before the above one:
