I'll play nosebleeds by the end of this year - Page 22 - Poker Blogs and Goals -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Knew he's got me beat on the river, but I also knew he's cbetting JT 100% of the time, so he can't have a straight. I also think I can rep JT pritty good, and there's about a 0% I can be bluffing in that spot (would I call a turn raise with air...?), so I should have JT close to 100% of the time

So imo, the river call is bad, but what can you do...

you expect nl200 regs lay down 2pairs/sets, sorry but thats spew

Yeah, I know. I just thought on a theoretical level, he should fold.

Should have just folded turn. It's not like he's even remotly capable of raising that turn with air... and his valuerange obviously kills me

Hey Imf, your thread is very interesting and your results impressive. You've clearly improved in skill very quickly.

What would you say has been most influential in your development, is it just reading through posts on the forum and books and going through the theory of the game or is it mainly through practice?

Is there any one key concept or skill that you've learnt that has been most influential. Or is it just down to talent? What would be your advice for a player beating small stakes who wants to improve like you have?

Thanks and gl.

Meh, easy won, easy lost. It was just chips to me anyway

It's these breakeven stretches where nothing is happening that really kills me

Well maybe that's why he refuses to admit who he actually is, to avoid taxes.

So how could he evade being taxed, while you can't? I mean he must have a bank account attached to his FTP, where his name is shown. You haven't admitted to FTP who you are either, if you know what I mean, so how can they tax you?

I'm not really sure, but I'm sure that they get a bit suspicious if some random unemployed 18 year old starts cashing out like 20k+, and eventually they'll find out I guess.

On another matter, just got RB today. Roll is 20.5k now

Once I reach 22k I'll start playing 600nl again. And this time, I won't fail.

Haha great

Unfortunally Ipoker is lagging insanely much today, so it's almost unplayable

Why raise flop in 2nd hand? You have showdown value on the flop and can try to reach the showdown. And with the raise you turn your hand to the bluff. But not the best flop to bluff on, I think. Where I'm wrong?

We can get value out of draws.
We can easily rep a lot of stuff to make him fold if he has Qx and calls.

But yah, should prolly just have called. Oh well.
