SO I have started again after a three year hiatus. A little older, a little wiser a lot more patient. My goal is to take one level at a time, but more than that, concentrate on making correct decisions and not be results focussed. I have finished reading BlackRain79s CTM. I will read it again a few more times, but for now ill just try putting into practice the basics I have been able to remember.

Anyway, 700 hands in and i'm 35/100 BB. I am fully aware that this is a drop in the proverbial ocean and will be posting hands along the way that a) cause me to think and b) spewed my chips harder than that time I drank a bottle of southern comfort at Wendy Petersons 14th birthday and woke up in her Mums bed (true story, more on that later.)

Anyway, can I get some feedback on a few hands please?

GL

reg or zoom ? how much you play / day ? what style ?

btw,hand 1 i fold ai with tp low kicker and also with tptk too...

@hand 2,why you like to go ai with tp ?oO he got a set/overpairs right ?

Love the title.
Basically they are showing aggression here so it's time to fold lol. That's fold flop both hands.

If u have stats\reads that show otherwise then fine but as a default I'm just folding to aggression.
Good luck!

Good luck

Goog luck sir!

So if I get this correct, after all that i'm reading, at these levels I should be folding to pretty much all aggression?

you better learn to fold quick. Raises are in general really strong, esp on later streets. But also flop raises are still really strong and 1 pair is often no good. Just as a general advise .

So what exactly happened between you and Mrs Peterson?

**** being realistic. Aim for 5knl+.

Well not exactly. It depends on the opponent, the board, which street and the general situation. Since most players are loose and passive, they are going to be calling with weak made hands and draws and raising with 2 pair+. Aggressive players we should give less credit to for obvious reasons. Vs a confirmed aggro fish I would cbet hand 1 and expect to get called. Then I would simply check call turn and river and take it down pretty often. So in that case I'm not blindly folding to aggression. Vs passive type I'm 3 barreling and folding to a raise.

If u are thinking that in hand 1 they are trying to exploit u by raising your cbet because its a dry flop and we don't rep much and its a good board to cbet because it hits our range (ace high with no broadways or obvious draws) and not his, therefore he can raise us off pretty often with air... No need to think like that, u will just level yourself into bad calls. Yes there will be players doing this a bit even as low as nl4 or nl5, but they are rare and u will soon spot the 'TAGs' and be able to find holes in their own play - often they have high flop cbet and low turn cbet, float them etc etc...

Hand 2 looks like an overpair but its such a bizzare play its hard to tell. Just no need to lose a stack in spots like this, wait for a better one.

It is an epic tale of forbidden love, lust and and a firm but generous lover and handsome woman.

Finally a bit of an update, yes I do know it has been a while but life gets busy you know, so get off my back !

Anyway, nearly 5000 hands I was just under breakeven but had a bit of tilt at the end of last night and am now just under 3 buy ins down. Can I get some feed back on my graphs? Before the haters start, I do realise that 5000 hands is a minute sample size but I'm just looking for any advice. TBH I am not all that disappointed, for me, being a just under breakeven player after 5000 hands is a good start for me. Better than loosing everything right?

No love then??

Your non showdown winnings are a big leak. I think if you post your stats the reason for that leak will become clear.

Edit: Oh you posted stats too. Your WTSD is pretty ridiculously low.

I think you're being way too tight for 6max, and thats why your redline tanks.
I didn't really mass play 1/2 but here is my stats from when i did 2/5, and you can tell im a lot looser, and my redline is higher.
Im opening any broadway/pp/56s+ from LP, and i think where my range really widens up, is i'm 3betting a LOT with any Ax Kx (blocker) vs anyone with a high fold3bet / high PFR

If you wanna talk, let me know.
