Recovered from my -7 buyin downswing.... Admittingly I'm not playing amazingly well maybe 6-7/10.... but last couple of sessions I been playing better.

April

End of Week 1

60,774 hands NL50
1.79 ev/bb
4.22 BB
Profits: $1,283
Rakeback/Bonuses: $719
Total: $2,002

My play was so and so because I was experimenting with a bit too many things but I adjusted back to my previous style with some small changes and it improvement my win rate. Had a -12 buyin downswing and -7 buyin downswing during this week. Mainly due to a combination of stupid plays, bad calls and being card dead. When I had a -12 buyin downswing I ran KK into AA 5 times!!!! And when I had AA it got cracked by KK lol.... Cards are stoooopid sometimes...

Well at least you are still running massively over ev. Better lucky than good right?

Post your stats brother I might learn something :P

sick run so far

They are pretty much similar to the top winners at NL50 on pokerstars if you find their stats and review them... I basically modelled my whole style from the top 3-5 winners at pokerstars which had winrates of 7-10 bb/100 at NL50...

Year to date

350k hands NL50

1.9 EV BB/100

This marks the end of my old style. Since 10th April I have adopted some changes and doing a new style which is based on improvements on this style.

My goal with my new style and next 200-350k hands is to beat 1.9 EV BB/100 my target is 2.5-3 EV BB/100 or better...

Hi mate, great results! Is that pre-rakeback ?

[QUOTE=paf85;58097564] Yes before rakeback if I include profits + rakeback it be around $10-11k...

Amazing, gl bro and thank you for the updates

May i ask you, what VPIP you suggest on those levels, due to the high rake on GG, for example 22 19 50 9 is it good, or we should play more passive preflop , thank you ?

VPIP 22-20/20-18 is ideal. The rake isn't really high to be honest.

I compared the rake on GG versus ACR and they roughly the same rake. How much you pay in rake is really a function of your play style and how many big pots you involve yourself in...

My April so far...

I played pretty much horrible this month. Not really happy with a lot of my sessions.

** Spewed in many places
** Cold cards for a bulk of hands. 20k or so
** led to two -10+ buyin downswings
** New play style for 40k hands was pretty much meh in results...

Wasn't too happy with it so went back to my old style and results started improving again so hopefully rest of month will be better.

Do you think it‘s +EV to only call 3bets with QQ-AA?

It depends on villian. If you have a read and know Villian is a double barrel monkey then its +EV if its an unknown better to 4bet.

Nice hand, and impressive results overall, much respect, thank you for the updates, that`s motivate me a lot , gl bro

Thankyou bro.....

Games are getting a bit tougher and there is a lot of spew and it seems wannabe pros at all stakes right now....

Meta in the game keeps changing, lets hope I can keep it up...

Upwards and onwards to 1MILLION hands

March so far...

158k hands NL50

-0.01 EV BB/100
1.5 BB/100 (Real)
$Won: 1,189
Rake: 2.099
Total Profits: $3,288

Analyzing why my EV BB/100 is down this month comes down to these factors:

1) Playing overall my C game... Was making medium and large mistakes on river and overcalling a bit too much.
2) Bad run outs on broadway type hands... Overall the amount I was making with these hands was much lower than my expected value.
3) General aggression in the game has increased this month, not sure if it lasts or not but probably also reduced the edge.

I will try and improve and up to my A game for rest of the month to get a decent monthly profit. Overall again can't complain too much I am still running above EV.

April so far, not March ?
Also, 2k$ rakeback on 50s for this sample is good, yes ? How much % is that ?
Gl

I have no idea of what you're doing in this hand either.
Unless it's cause you are mirroring what opponent made the hand before?

I didn't explain much about the hand but the villian I know how he plays very well (reg) - and have played with him for over a year now.

Basically on the flop his range is capped when he calls my min raise versus me its never an overpair he will jam all his overpairs versus my min raise on flop so when we get to the river he is either nuts or nothing but I doubt he will play his JJ this way either so its a clear call for me.

Actually I don't want to go into his tells but he has some clear ones which I know of, when we start mashing buttons in 3bet pots...

Yes April ... I feel like I'm in a time loop since April has been completely crappy for me...

its around 55% so far but I think the increase in leaderboard payouts has played a factor in this, usually I estimate or take 40% as what I would normally get....

Also this year I didn't also include my bad beat jackpot payouts also...

didn't really want them to be a factor in winnings since no one can really predict when you get them and it skews what you get back as bonuses by alot...
