Just had another very odd day. I played really well and ran super hot hitting loads of cards. I didn't get paid really at all but didn't lose any hands so nice steady run up. Then I made the worst mistake I've made in a long time and lost all of my profit really.

Pre is fine, flop is fine, turn I should have raised but probably OK as hoping he has 3x or overpair or AJ.

River the J comes and I think gin I'll bet and hope he thinks BS on double paired board. Even said to myself hopefully he has Jx and shoves. Just didn't register that I would lose. I'd decided on the flop I was getting stacks in and just carried on. Runner runner jacks to over boat me blows though.

FFS.

Ouch, yea would have been nice if a 3rd 3 hit the river instead. It happens, shrug it off and move on to the next hand

Another bad day at the office sadly. Nut flush beaten by river boat for full stacks and a couple of missed barrelled draws meant a lost buyin overall.

Nothing to write home about. Mental game was OK if a little tired. Technical game was OK as well (weak as usual).

BR $750

Poor day continued but booked a big win by luck. I had awesome tables with crazy spewtards throwing stacks around but I was totally card dead so could only watch as they ran up and got stacked.

I then won a BI with AA. Guy called 3bet OOP with KQ. I flop a set. He called my flop with a GS and BDFD and hit on the turn. I river a boat to win. Sucks to be him.

Entry from Microforum thats gamechanging in terms of how I use PT4 I think.

TLDR BR $770

Session of two halves yesterday with a a big run up where I stacked three guys with overpairs or TPTK with sets then a nasty spell where I hit nothing and lost almost all of it

Played too passively once I was ahead and called too much. I was hitting good draws but then missing them all. I could have played the draws faster.

Stuff like this.

Downswing continues. I'm playing fewer tables and reviewing my hands I don't think I'm playing too bad actually. No gigantic mistakes, I'm raising good hands pre and getting nothing and having to fold. I turned a flush in limped pot and didnt get paid. A lot of fishes I was calling down with OK hands drew out on me and all my value raises got folds.

One of those days. No interesting hands to post I don't think.

Bloody hell this is getting nasty now.

AQ<AA vs guy playing 56/38 27% 3bet.

AK<JTo vs guy calling 3bet OOP with JTo

QQ<A7

Saver helped a little bit with me clearing one guy out with AJ vs AK on J45AJ run out. Can't believe he stacked off with TPTK on runout like that. But I am a nit so what do I know.

Session for the weekend was going pretty well with a nice steady run up without really having any cards. Mental game was good. Then AKs< A9o vs aggro reg. That hurt.

Soon after this happened. He is Cbetting 75% on flop turn and river so with top 2 I couldn't see any way of folding.

Saver for some kind of rungood some time. Let the nit hit the cards against me so I get away. Let me catch a draw once in a while. Mainly though let some idiot spaz his stack to me like in NL10.

Saver worked temporarily. I hit some of my draws but couldn't get stacks in. No mind its nice to win some. Then I got set over set. Booo. Nothing I could do much about. I shoved both the flushes though I could maybe have bet smaller but given the aggression I'd shown would have looked fishy probably. Dunno. Should have made some money on the rivers I think.

Time for bed. Night night sweet saver.

Turned it around in the second session with KK all in vs AK and it held up! I also cleared a bonus from VPP's for $10.

Then I did this. Poor play but the hand reading was OK and was a snap in the end.

Pre was loose but OK I think as the caller was crazy. Calling cbet is OK with TP and BDFD. Raise with UTG firing felt like could be dominated. When he checks I was planning on raising to take it down. Overbet from the CO felt like weak A, FD or 9 trying to run us out. From the check I had no fear from the UTG player facing two all ins.

Bank holiday weekend saver.



I'm down a little bit so far after getting caught into spewing off half a stack to guy who limp/reraised KK from the SB.

Saver worked and I won a couple of flips with QQ vs AK both times. Nothing else to write about from that session. Interestingly for me tilt is not often something obvious like it used to be. I'm pretty chill win or lose which is nice and +EV. Still wandering though and faffing on here while I'm playing which I need to cut out.

Had another session where I didn't play well. NL25 is owning me at the moment. Its also going backwards in NL16. I'm about breakeven at NL16 at EV (+5bb/100 actual but being lucky on the all ins) and losing at a solid clip of 6bb/100 at NL25 (only about 4 BI but w/e).

Worse though is that any wins I get is luck/coolers dished out to the other guys. My ranging is not great and I'm as a result I'm making poor choices. I'm not able to find enough obviously exploitable players to my idiotic eyes like at NL10 to make up my win rate.

I've also been expanding the tables I'm playing. I need to refocus now. BR stands at $750 which is nicely rolled for NL25. I'm going to move to totally NL25 for 6BI. If I drop to $600 I'll move back to NL10. I don't like NL16 really. The sizing sucks and the game plays oddly. I'm going to go to 2 tables again. 1 extra table allowed to ensure I always have 2 good tables to concentrate on. Just stacked out of the way and played simply until I work out if it should go into focus or not. I need to rework my ranges again and stick to them. I was able to expand away from that in NL10 but I think I need to go back to basics.

Hoping for some rungood (and more discipline from me) as I try to settle here at NL25.
