That's a pretty sick downswing mate pretty awesome too though that u were crushing so hard before. Tbh i think the most demoralizing thing for me at the moment is not knowing if i am a winner in these games or not playing 6 tables. My EV for the month is -0.80bb/100 so about -$4k, now if this was positive and i was down like $15k i could handle that, but if i find out that i don't actually win anymore after being roughly 7bb/100 for the second half of last year then i'll more than likely stop this chase. But obviously i only wanted to have a 0.75bb/100 or more winrate this year to consider it a success so it would only take a mild heater to get me back there so i'll grind at least another month and see how things go i think.

Haha i sure hope so, still trying to make the 100k before Feb, i guess u get a lot more vpp/hand than me as u laggier.

Erm i'd be more likely to try and remove the green line at this rate mate haha, the EV line is the only thing keeping me semi-sane.

Another 4k vpp today then a long day tomorrow maybe getting 5k or close to, we'll see, please, please, please run good one tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Can you post the hand where you won $200 with non-showdown?

Solid session too!

Not sure about the turn, i don't really think it matters what i do tbh, whether i check turn or bet small or shove i don't think he calls any of his range, bit of a weird spot for this reg to raise flop tbh.

Just got this as well

Also, i feel like i'm running reasonably well at the table's again apart from the fact that today i have had a minimum of 5/6 times where i get dealt KK/AKs and get it in vs AA and 0 times the other way around so still lot's of improvement to go imo. Though won both sessions today so far (touchwood) so hopefully continues.

Gogogo!

Yeah once you cold call the flop raise it gives your hand strength away. Could shove to look like an AJ spaz maybe... Guess he had nothing anyway!

Lol at this though:

Yea I think you should shove flop unless everyone else in the pot is extreeemely bad

Your really face up on the flop so I'd think that's where the problem lays.

EDIT: Oops, didnt see z0mg's answer.

Good challenge OP! Hope u reach it! Subbed!

Is it just me or shouldnt the showdown line be better than the non-showdown?

Doesn't matter really, all about maximizing the green line! But for the average poker player, the showdown line goes up more than the non-showdown line.

Yea i think jamming flop could be good but i flat because the guy that squeezed is a fishy fishy, so i was hoping he would ome along with his QJs or something but probably would fold to jam. If all regs or something i think jamming is better. Though i still think almost nobody would call AA there.

Your attitude is so tilting, all you do is complain about how bad you run, you dont talk about how you can improve etc, that is why i slowed rolled you (which wasnt really intentional, i had another hand going on at the same time, i waited maybe 20seconds to call, which is whatever). You made a horrendous bluff catch vs me, and then you come in here and complain about how bad you run, sooooo annoying to me.

I dont want to derail this thread, all i am saying is i have no idea why anyone would subscribe to a thread where the op is just complaining about ev. And that "positive post" you made is just once again pointing out how "bad" you run, its a terrible attitude to have, and yes i know it was said in jest but my point still stands. GL at the tables.

Your wish is my command

Had a really good day at the tables today, ran like an absolute boss for most of the day, played pretty well too with a few mistakes here and there as always haha. Graph for the day:



So really happy with how things went over all today, and also i'm super happy that my luck finally turned around and i was able to put in an impressive day at the tables for a change

I managed to make my 4k vpp and now i'm sitting at 91.7k overall, i can taste that Supernova it's so close I don't think i'll let that goal fail now i'm so close. Got my evbb/100 back to only -0.29 as well so really pleased, maybe can turn it into an EV winning month if i run good last 2 days

Played an interesting hand at 100nl deep, really think i got owned here and not sure what the best line is, reg is good but imo also pretty spew at times:

What would all say is best turn line here? i didn't feel like my hand was strong enough to c/r ott so i lead turn, then i get raised and i'm like errrrrrrrrrrr have no clue what to do

its his thread beyond, he keeps tracks here on what happens to him at the tables, if he runs bad almost every day he can post it here every day, kinda dickish move on ur part

also i kinda disagree with some on the 55 hand, think calling flop is fine in most cases and given positions a shove could even turn ur hand more face upwards than calling..
but the problem is the only way to not make ur hand obvious is to fold, but i wont advice that,

great job today mate
