Sorry that was me who deleted my post. I was a little tired and realized after posting that it obviously wasn't for value . So I tried to ninja delete but you were too fast for me.

making trips is hard tho
05-26-2013 , 10:53 AM
OP, in that KT hand why do you prefer shoving over calling river?
05-26-2013 , 12:22 PM
How is your experience with CREV? Did it help you to improve your game?

+1 the micro stakes grinders are confused
05-27-2013 , 10:44 AM
I prefer calling with KT obv, sometimes people just make bad plays

CREV, it's slow and tedious work, but atleast you can get some new and real information out of it. I like to think it improved my game.

Hey man. See you've been dabbling is some 50/100 PLO deep antes in Galfond's latest couple of runitonce videos. How's that gone? You thinking of making a serious transition to PLO at some point.

Great stuff as usual

      05-30-2013 , 08:29 AM
      :-/


      what's the plan now?
      05-30-2013 , 12:29 PM
      50/100 PLO when it's running to rostucko
      06-01-2013 , 12:10 AM
      Nah it's not the same

      Last 3-4 days were kinda brutal again.

      May graphs:





      Ran like **** at 5kNL+

      Obv winrate for 5k regwars should be quite a bit lower then winrate in the 500NL donkfest but not 30bb/100 lower

      Tourney winnings and rb soften the blow a tiny bit, but still down quite an amount

      Going on holiday on in a few days but actually just wanna grind grind grind till I'm out of the downswing.

      Nice posts itt!

      Lorenzo, could you tell something about how your day looks like? or week?

      Do you workout? If yes, what kind of workouts, how often.. and how do you think sports/working is important to a poker player?
      06-02-2013 , 11:23 AM
      Your month is pretty much like mine, kill the lowest stake I play, get killed at the highest stake I play . Anyway good luck getting out of it.
      06-03-2013 , 06:09 AM
      Are you going to Vegas/play in the wsop this year?

      Yeah, I know winning players don't EVER check back this flop w/AA, but I did it... whatever..

      Interested in Lorenzo's opinion on river jam as played (yours too, z0mgtiltz, since I'm subbed to your blog either )

      Most of the 500 pool is made up of breakeven/losing/barely winning regs. They just have more money and some are probably going for SNE. Some really good players too like Lorenzo but they seem to be in the minority.
