You're welcome

Hey IFS,

I <3 this thread.
Can you explain your thought process in the KTs hand from preflop-flop.
I'm just interested in how you think (your reads on villain, etc)

that qk hand is pretty crazy is plat at nl400 always this crazy, and do you play like the villain at all?

haha. it may be the cannabis, but I lol'd

It's a pretty standard hand.

I 3bet KTs because he's opening wide, and KTs plays deceant aginst his range.

I call the shove because he prolly 4bets JJ+, and doesn't have many 6x hands in his flatting range. It should be a flush draw 90% of the time, which it also turned out to be.

Been a while since i checked u out, whats ure roll at ?

neteller 6k, ftp 7k, Ipoker 10k.

Up 500$ today btw.

ftp roll is 7.5k now

You play really high variance.

what was your Full tilt starting roll yo?

what stakes do u consider "nosebleeds"

and are you on pace for it?

50/100 imo

yeah u cant quit just cos u won 1k, ull never get to nosebleeds this year this way, grind on the mind, focus, get better or there is no point to keep following this thread

Think people need to realize that he is taking his studies at university seriously. He may not hit his goal of nosebleeds by the end of the year but it seems his priorities are in the right place imo.

university? what you studying ifs?

Nah, last year of "high school." I'm going the hardest line tho

And yeah I know I need to play more, but I just can't find the time. I do prioritate school and friends (with too much poker and too little else I find that I go on life-tilt and flip over small things :/)

Anyways, put in yet another small session before table tennis practise.

Ended up +150$.

The hand where you have A5cc, can you explain your reasoning for checking turn?

I guess its because we hardly get 2 streets of value anyway? (is this correct with your image? i d think you may could). And you are going to overbet many rivers when checking turn right?
any guess how often you roughly bet and check turn %-wise?
