thanks


Played ~15 hours, 3500 hands and down ~4 buyins still.

Been playing a lot better I think and all my losses are from running into the top of people's ranges so far.

Obv mutiple mistakes and the odd meh hand but still plugging away.

Cant really be assed updating fully tonight with HH but there are some interesting hands I will post tomorrow.

Ive been getting a bit tilted because of having to fold so much. Just one of those times when people who aren't light that often keep 3betting or 4betting or something and you just have to pause and evaluate, then fold, rather than get steamed and do something silly.

Ive come to realise that a lot of spots that I misplay are very expensive and extremely -EV against the majority of players.

Like 4betting light. We don't even need to 4b a lot to play back lol I used to think I need to start really 4betting this guy because he is attacking me, when in reality he is just run hot and if he is light I just play tight and pick up his 3bets and play IP etc. He is making the mistake of putting money in the pot with bad hands and its impossible for him to get away from that wide range, so he should make mistakes OOP and I can win money.

The COTW are really good imo. I have this FPS crazy thought process a lot where I just brainfart and spazz because i hate folding or the idea someone is bluffing( I used to be the opposite funnily enough, folding like a machine and I used to win ) But those threads keep me in a nice solid mindset for playing. I need to read all of them

Thats why now I am really thinking through every decision and not worrying about someone who I have 30 hands on 3betting me light or stealing my blinds.

I always feel if I play less than like 19/18 I am giving away too many BB. Giving up cbets or 3bets also. Thats a good thing I think though because that kind of stuff effects my redline.

Here is a spot I am wondering about infact :




Villain is a 24/24 with 83% (6) btn steal





Cbet or XF flop iyo?

id prob c/f flop or have intentions to barrel my ass off
how many hands did you have on villain and whats his ft3b (prob not an accurate number since you didn't give it)

which are some of ur favorite COTW?

ye that makes sense


I havent read many of the threads yet and not sure which ones i like best. ive read barreling, squeezing and some on iso'ing, 3betting and stuff.

I need to read more tomorrow and I'll post some for discussion.

Down around 1 BI so far @ 20nl but couldnt be assed uploading full graph lol

Another update :

played ~ 5k hands so far. I havent been able to get much volume in due to personal reasons.

Right now im trying to get back into my flow of putting in reasonable volume for 4 tabling but its really hard.

Still no decent winning to report, still down ~3 buyins. I was only playing USD games but now I can play some sterling/euro games so maybe get some better action.

I've just been running into the top of people ranges and running into lots of awkward spots ive never been in before but I am improving. Its hard though because I feel like I really need to sit down with a pen and paper and sort out a lot of things but still cant find that push I need!!



Here are a few hands I would appreciate feedback on :


Villain is random 35/14






Villain is 41/5 and havent seen much of him.

AQ 3b/c flop
AK check back flop if you think your cbet is gonna be attacked a bunch, otherwise its a fistpump cbet
KQdd flat
TT bet turn for value now sigh call

can you explain why we should be double barreling the TT hand for value?

The turn in the TT hand is very interesting. The Kc is probably the best card in the deck for a double barrel with hands with little value, however you have value and a redraw here. It's way to thin to bet for value I think, as it's such a scare card you won't really be called by much worse other than possibly the Ace of clubs or a king. Both of which are unlikely from this type of villain after he calls your flop bet.

Possible hands to get value from I suppose are.

Ac9x-6x-5x, [I can't really think of more], maybe random Ac float.

I keep typing thoughts but I can't come up with a reason to bet here as a bluff or for value on the turn.

Hand 1 B/f turn B/f river
Hand 2 raise
Hand 3 Would probably cbet because theres quite a lot of cards you can barrel ott.
Hand 4 Fold, we are oop so I dont like calling we have zero implied odds and I dont think we really have any fold equity either... kinda sucks but yeh. Our equity against his get it in range isnt terrible but we are a definate dog with usually just our flush outs.

Stove a 35% pfr calling range, see how many combes a loose passive gets to this turn with that we beat and won't fold

thanks for the replies

I will do this stoving excersise today gooner
