Up 5 BI after playing for just over 3 hours and a half on 4 tables of normal tables. Played fairly well but I've won every flip and I'm up 20$ on my EV line.

Not much he can have when the turn comes a K apart from KQ KJ and 77, I think there is a lot more bluffs in his range as he posted and this is a Euro table. Was still pooing myself on the river though.

Up 2 BIs from zoom so finish up 4.5 BI for the day after 1600 hands. Played 12,000 hands so far this month and want to have played 30,000 by the end of it. Also, would like to win at 3BB/100, currently running at 2BB so I think this is definitely achievable especially if I play less zoom.

Just had a 4 BI session which means I had a +6 BI day which is f*cking awesome and definitely my highest winning day online since I started playing poker a couple of years ago. Bankroll on Stars is also the highest it's ever been at 326.61. It's not that much comparatively but considering I started all over again 6 months ago at NL2 with a deposit of 50 it feels f***ing good.

Session pretty much hinged on a 240 BB pot between a lagtard cutoff and me.

Had a serious sweat on with heart on the turn but just kept on saying to myself that I wasn't going to tilt either way.

Went on a massive heater afterwards though and started playing well and hitting sets.

loose open but 5 handed so not horrific. Cbet my oesd, when I get two calls I'm shutting down unless I hit and even if I do and it's a heart and the reggy guy to my left starts playing back I won't be that happy about it. When the reg bets that small and the fish folds it doesn't look like a very strong hand to me, any big pair would have 3bet, especially as he had 3bet% of over 10, any set on the flop probably would have raised. His range looks mostly like heart draws and 99,1010. Even if he calls I think I've got 8 outs.

Up 2 and a bit BI for the day and nearly got enough FPPs to get the 25 dollar bonus so total BR will be about 410.

Was playing my C game and was around break even for the today until I landed the God seat against a 200BB stacked 90 VPip whale. Closed all my other tables and just took notes on him until I stacked him, he reloaded then I stacked him again.

Before this just couldn't find a decent table and just ended up in a lot of preflop wars v regs which I mainly lost.

Been reading through Verneer's Building A Bankroll and I've found it really useful for getting the fundamentals of the game right, such as things like bet sizing. I seriously recommend it to anyone 25NL and below.

no history, pretty thin from him

Balance is now at 399 and my PT is definitely wrong when it comes to Euros if someone can tell me how to set it up correctly it would be much appreciated, cheers.

Played another session to get passed the 400 threshold and won 1.5 BI. Also winning at 5BB/100 so far this month which is much higher than my initial goal of 3, still running a fair bit over EV though so it's probably closer to 3 than 5.

16 BIs so far this week though, nothing to be sniffed at.

If you chech call down on this board with ur hand u are just going to put yourself in a lot of bad spots that you will be playing guessing games. Your showdown value is way too weak to add it to a bluff catch range, especially if your opponent is bad enough to sometimes turn a better hand into a bluff (like 22,33)

Yer I definitely should have folded or cbet the flop, although I think x/f probably the best option. Think this play with AQ versus this opponent still probably would be profitable though, look at the 77 hand for example. I agree though, KQ is too weak.

77 is completely different because of positions
Just because someone spews 3streets oop wont mean he will do it IP
You give him a chance to play perfect and basically hoping he has nothing with no basis behind it

Down 2 BI and just over breakeven for today according to my pokertracker which is definitely wrong. Not sure if I'll play again today as feeling pretty tired and definitely won't be playing zoom again unless I'm trying to clear a bonus or something.

bigacsiga just understood what you meant. The first line, on the 77 hand, makes no sense as he wouldn't take it with any strong hand. The second, even though he called the 3bet, is a standard line someone would take for value and so my line is the one that makes no sense.

Ended up playing another session, fairly swingy and ended up just over breakeven on PT but up a BI or more in the cashier. Kept playing as I was trying to stack a really aggressive bad player who had a $50 stack who kept on minraising turn shoving river and often bet 3 streets with nothing. He also called raises insanely wide. Ended up all in for a 300 BB stack. He opened from UTG I 3bet QJs from CO, everyone folded, he called. Flop 625ss he donks, I raise, he 3bets, I shove. He had a6o, turn ax, brick. As I shoved I still think my play was fairly decent but slightly unnecessary as I could have stacked him with a much better hand fairly easily.

Have about 420 in my cashier and I'll take a 4BI shot at NL25 when I reach 500.

What I meant is: a lot of players get this wrong:
Just because someone is really loose preflop won't mean he is on the flop.
Just because someone checkraises light wont mean he calls all-in light.
Just because someone barrells light OOP wont always mean he does it IP also.

Even the biggest of fish have ranges/tendencies and we shouldn't make the mistake to generalize
Good luck

Do you not think players will be more likely to do some things if they do others for example a limper calling down light.

Only played a small amount of volume today but managed to get a BI, will try and play alot more tomorrow.

Passive fish raising turn, definite fold?

Being reviewing my database to try and plug some leaks. Found that I was cbetting a lot of flops but not a lot of turns and have a tendency to check call them instead leading to a lot of money lost. Posted this hand in the micros forum, any help would be good cheers.
