Hey 2p2.

First of all, my english is not very good, so plz keep that in mind when reading this thread .

Im a 30 years old guy with a full time job, so, not that much time to play, but i do what i can. Money is not a problem so i guess i do tilt for other reasons

Well, im playing poker for about one year from now, always as a losing player, but having tons of fun (and TILT lol).

I will use this thread to keep track of my progress and to get some motivation to continue to play.

Here is my graph so far on Hypers $1.5



As u can see, im not running too hot. Hope that changes now
(sometimes i really think this EV line from PT4 is screwed)

Goals till 31-09:
[ ] 500 more games (will not be easy for me)
[ ] get a subscription on husng.com
[ ] run goooooooooooooooooddd lol

I will try to do quick updates after each session and some bigger ones on the weekend.

Good luck guys.

GL with your challenge.

tyty

Well. Session is over today.



Session: +$9
BR: $160.25

Happy with my EV line.
No run hot though.

See u next session.

glgl

Well, here is a quick update



Started the session running really bad. EV was fine.
Im glad i finished i little bit up. Volume was ok for me. I dont think i can play more than 35 games a day.

BR: $163

Well, here is a funny hand for RUN GOOD next session. And for me to know how to post hands here.
Will mark some interesting hands next session, hopefully.

Hero wins 700.00

Once again, sorry about my bad english.

See u next session.

GL on the tables.

I think you can easily play the $3.5 with à $163 roll. Just move down when nessecary.

Well. Thanks for the advice. But im a BRM nit.

I will take a shot when i got

(100 BI for $1.5) + (5 BI for the $3.5) = $167,5

Is it a good nit BRM?

Going to play the session now.

Ok. End of session.

Good news is that i run goooood at $1.5:



So, i was able to take a shot at $3.5:



Break even on this, cause of rake. Slight bellow EV.

BR: $172

Here is a hand that i need some help with:

When he shoves ATF what does he have here?
This guy limped a lot. I think this was his first open raise.
I know there is a flush and straightdraw out there so, what do u guys think?
Is it a bad call?

Thanks.

Gl at the tables.

Fold preflop. It's too weak to call there imo.

Yeah. I think you are right. Thank you!

Going to play now.

Well, todays session results are really really bad.

Played $3.5:



I guess it was a mix of card distribution, playing bad and tilt.

I will have to go back to $1.5 again.

See ya!

Ok. Another session today.
Quick update before going to bed.



BR: $140

No tilt today. So, happy with it.
I will try to post some hands tomorrow.

See ya!

Really nice session today. Running really good.



Here is a hand for u guys:

$3.4+$0.1|10/20 NL (2 max) - Holdem - 2 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (SB): 420.00
BB: 580.00

Hero posts SB 10.00, BB posts BB 20.00

Pre Flop: (pot: 30.00) Hero has 5 8

Hero raises to 40.00, BB calls 20.00

Flop: (80.00, 2 players) 6 7 K
BB checks, Hero checks

What do you guys think about it.
Std call?!
This guys doesnt seen to spew but was c/r a lot. Maybe cbet/call is the best option OTF?!
Can i find a fold on the river? I used all my time bank and hit the call button.
Maybe a set or two pair can play like this?!

Well, anyway:
BR: $185.7

Gl on the tables.

I would cbet this flop, I always bet my draws and It doesnt get much better for the hand that your given.

as it is I would raise more on the turn as he may have turned a flush draw and ur giving him great odds to call, if hes not likely to spew I would put him on a flush draw on the river and puke fold to his shove over the top. dont think hes going to shove 2 pair or a set on a very drawy board he would most likely just call.

Definitely cbetting flop, its so dry plus you have the oesd.

Yeah. That is what i thought after the game. Thank you.

Tyty. Reviewing this hand now, i think i played it so bad.

Well, will try to play some games today.

Ty.

Good challenge OP. GETTTTEM!

Really sad. Tilt got the worst of me on the weekend.



Well. Will try to focus and play better tomorrow. First part of the graph was already on the thread.

BR: $175. Got $5 bonus.

Well.. im like break even for the last 400 games in EV.

hope this changes soon. Will study some videos tomorrow before the session.

See ya.

Gl on the tables.

gl kiddo. and cbet 85.

Quick update:



BR: $178

Break even in $3.5.

EV line doesnt seen to be going up either.

Lets hope its just card distribution.

Hands:

Really unsure about this one. First hand. No reads. Thought about shoving this hand, but ended up folding. Many players at this level are not confortable playing big hands like AK, AQ, AJ post flot and just bet large pre. Is it a close shove?!:

Last 3 days of the month. Go Go Go!

Gl guys.

Try to move up in stakes whenever you have 50BI's in the next level, and moving down when you are down to 35BI's of that level.
Goold luck in the tables

+1 these levels are lol soft so you are probably costing yourself money by not moving up sooner with a more aggro brm

Ty guys. Will take a look at this BRM strategy.
I dont know if it fits my ability to move down when necessary (im a tilt monkey), but i guess its the right thing to do, and i need to work on my mental game.

Going to my session. Wish me luck

Ok. Here is how i was feeling during todays session:
"Hey, im playing like a pro. So many good reads. Im the best". Lol

So, i ended my session and thought:
"Ill take a look at todays graph, im so proud of myself".

And then:



wtf?!?!?!? My ev line is like, almost break even! LOL. Yeah, i know, volume sux...but....
well, i guess i need to be happy cause im running good.

BR: $222.77

Finally above $200 mark.

Hands:

Well, in this hand, here is my thought proccess.
OTF, i guess its a std cbet. When called, villain may have a 7, flush draw, or some kind of 3.
OTT, i think its a bad card to double barrel, and i just check behind.
OTR, villain bets half pot, and my reason to call is that, why is he value beting here?! If he had a Q he would have c/r the flop. Would a 7 bet for value here?
With so few hands in my range that hit this flop after the action, i dont think he can value bet OTR and get called by worse. (well, i called, so maybe the answer is YES. LOL)

What about this one?
OTF, as he limped pre, i think that no Ace is on his range (in general).
If thats true, is it ok to call all streets?! Maybe raise the flop and gii?
