Do u think it's feasible to play online on a device while playing live cash? kill two fish with one rock lol

Hahah you the legend that sits down with 500 then raises the pot twice in a row? XD. When you said seat 6 I didn't twigg thought you meant on the main game holdem for some reason!

How do you play nlhe live after playing PLO I find it kinda hard once I've had a few hours of PLO. Learning the game as I go prolly isn't the smartest move but it is a lot of fun lol

Gl on the nlhe sir I am currently deep in the hole after losing what I calced to be either 40% when three way or a flip if heads up, meh that's PLO I guess or maybe I'm too aggro with my big draws xD

Maybe an mtt but cash I use my HUD too much I think don't wana give up that edge haha

Hud is pretty irrelavent if 1tabling online imo. Basically another live game.

oh yeah sos whenever i think of 1 tabling i think 1 table of zoom xD


yeah prolly fine to 1 table reg speed tables w/o a HUD, I still maintain that playing zoom HUDless is just asking to get stacked...especially at the lower stakes of 100nl and below where the player pools are 300+ people almost always


had a decent time @ bway tonight. Played two £800 pots lost both one way 3 way where i had second nfd and nut wrap vs top set and whale who may have had nfd but i don't really give him credit. Second I had nfd + wrap vs top two and I brick : (

meh PLO is pretty stressful and relies heavily on actually hitting hands and getting paid, which at first I found fun because the pots where kinda big, but today when card dead i had the moment of realisation that even in a lower stakes 1-2 NLHE game with less money on the table, the hourly will prolly be higher due to being able to pick up all the dead money, which in 6 card PLO when you see a flop 5 ways is just not really feasible.

from speaking to certain regs who have posted itt it's obvious that there are some great players in the nl game, I shall use the excuse of me never having played with any of the people i'd met until today : ) [or at least for any significant sample].

Driving to london tomorrow to play empire/hippo/vic depending on which has best action. Damn playing live always makes playing online seem like a waste of energy ffs. So many people trying to give you their stack as opposed to online where I seem to have to fight tooth and nail for every BB!


hope you enjoyed my wall of text

tl;dr
-played PLO, but gona stick to nlhe as i think hourly may be higher
-met some 2p2ers who are obv crushers
-playing london tomorrow hopefully good action!

played hippo, nice shiny brand new chips and amazing experience overall when comparing it to bway which is a dump still gotta love bway tho!

stack £1k~ buyin 400 ended +700, gona stick to NLHE, idk call me results orientated but PLO live is just too swingy for me!

Yeh hippo is nice and soft. Need to start trekking down there regularly again.

Love the hippo chips!

Pretty poker filled last few days in terms of hours spent playing, something I hate and love about live poker. You have to invest a lot of time into it.

On Friday as posted above played Hippo and Empire ending +£700
On Saturday played Manchester 235 and was card dead for hours in q really juicy 1-2 game so ended +£200.

Sunday there was a deep 1-2 game running where i bought in for £500 then added another £1k on when i got a bit short stacked, just because I had position on the biggest stacks at the table who may be a threat to me ( I knew everybody at the table pretty well having played at least 20+ sessions with each of them ). Ended up getting into a £1.5k pot all in pre with KK vs AKs. Bang A otf rip £700 : ( From there night went from bad to worse and I couldn't win a single pot, including one against a fish on absolute monkey tilt who was calling £200 shoves otf with ace high etc, so vs his range got it in for a £800 pot super good but lost anyway. SIGH!!! So ended -£1382

Coaching session tomorrow which I'm really looking forward to as not played online in a while, so hopefully the break has helped! I'm also currently reading the Janda book and a lot of what he's said so far has mimicked what I've been discussing with Chillskill in terms of breaking down my ranges as PFR.

Unfortunately it's that time of the year where I have multiple test, essays and assignments due in the next 2-3 weeks which means going to have to do some uni work for a change but I'll defo try to play at least 2-3 hours of online a day, although I think the work will cut into the live pokers quite a bit

so ya that's my weekend have fun grinding every1 glgl

just had a great session with chillskill discussed a lot of things i wanted answers to including cold calling 3bets, merits to raising IP, and BB defending.

my BB play is the detriment to the rest of my game, so improving it is the most important thing right now, everything else in my game can pretty much wait.

here is my results graph when the BB is excluded



this does two things for me, firstly show that yeah, I have been running pretty bad in terms of showdown line being horizontal, but it also shows that if my BB play was even slightly better, that my downswings would be turned into pretty much break-even stretches, or at least reduce the severity of my downswing

a good winrate to have in the bb is -30bb/100 which if you add into my winrate atm would be -5bb/100 overall so beating 100nl @ 4bb/100? idk if i did the maths correctly but seems about correct...xD

did the maths wrong, currently @ -70bb/100 in the BB so an improvement to -30bb/100 would be an improvement of 40bb/100 which is +6.6bb/100 to overall winrate atm so i'd be beating 100nl @ 2.5bb/100 which makes a lot more sense due to downswing :P

currently on page 70 of janda's book and going through preflop stuff, which is interesting but I think my preflop game ( with exception of BB play ) is pretty solid. begin playing online again tomorrow. gl every1 happy pokering!

nice stuff man...i guess you are analyzing your game quite a bit..Is chillskill coaching you??

Also about live poker...Same here love and hate relationship

Live is great but the swings are much more difficult to deal with i.e losing almost £1.4k in one day is hard.

Little late, but subbed. Just went trough the tread, really cool stuff! Keep it up!

good progress, what are your thoughts on chill skill as a coach? and how much are his rates? glgl

hes pro

First day back at 100nlz after coaching session w/ chill + week break playing live

ran pretty bad at beginning and at end of my sessions, but a little bit of run good in the middle



new BB strategy is going well, been some funny showdowns against some regs haha. from 2.5k hands onwards I was raising IP, then betting the turn with air and getting jammed on, imo that's a lil bit of runbad just running into the tops of people's ranges i take solace in the fact that i'm not spewing as only barreling on certain board run outs that balance my bluffs with value ; )

lots of uni work still to do(start) so volume may not be so good from now on, which sucks as i'm really in an online mood atm. i think quite a few people who play live and online get this, somedays all they wana do is grind online, and sometimes the live grind is too good to resist!

anyway gl every1

not really done so much in the way of thread savers, however I feel something more important to people who play poker is good music, so i'll post a song each time i update instead i think! my m8 has introduced me to deep house and i'm all over it atm hope you enjoy

Half way through march and here's my girafe



it's only from like 3 days of play due to all the uni work/live play i've been doing, but generally happy with my play and BB strategy, gone from defending 30% to defending 45% which is better i think, although playing a wider range oop did prove difficult in the past so having to make sure i don't spew xD

not running too hot but meh can't control that i guess hah!

anyway here is my song of the day, gl every1

Today's hands, had an essay to do so that took majority of the day to complete



redline slowly getting better, felt my game slipping and becoming passive towards the end so i stopped a session early

gl every1 with the grind

Nice thread.

Wish the live scene was half as decent around Cardiff

Subbed! Good luck. See ya at the tables!

you too : )

Played 3k hands today. It seems when i focus on one aspect of poker, another area of my game goes astray. As soon as I plug up one leak, another one springs free kinda frustrating but oh well lol


last 10k hands




went through my db again and found that BB is now at -45bb/100 which is getting better, but my sb has gone crazy bad. only 2k hands in each position but my sb was an area of pride for me since it was my best relative winrate out of all my stats xD hoping it just variance as atm it's at -60bb/100

frustrating to always end up even, but i guess it could be worse lol. i'm studying quite a bit of poker with a friend who's redline has been horizontal along the x axis for his last 500k hands. I think we play very similarly in a lot of ways so with a few adjustments should improve my game significantly!

i'm 95% sure that to be able to crush the game my non showdown line has to be the same or better, yet I don't think this means I need to become a LAGy spewtard. Just need to focus more when playing and put in some better positional bets.

hi bro,
I think I know your stars sn, i recognize the $2.20 opening bet and the avatar.

See you at the tables !

Ran into you quite a few times today, you seem to be defending blinds quite a bit against me :P

saw you at the tables
gl

dont care about redline imo

also, why would you ever 3b in this hand:
