i actually don't hate checking the flop with AK vs fish, who will have so many x/f's and possibly wayyyy too many turn and river 0 eq bluffs.

but yeh, pretty unconventional.

Can understand x although we hate life when we have to x-fold club turn to 1/4 pot or something. Leading club turn seems bad if x flop but x turn sort of give him green light to stab w/or w/out flush.

sorry, i meant h3.

That makes sense yes figure it’s good to let him catch up maybe catch back door draw ott here or take lead with his Kx or even possibly like 9s. Don’t think we get more than 2 streets value if that vs non K anyways.

Going 29bbs on your cold 4 is just not necessary. You shouldn't be thinking in terms of a sizing 'making a difference', but what that means for how you construct and play your range.

Played well but down 1.5bi for day. Margins can be thin on here on weekdays and ran KK into AA twice and QQ into AA once. Off tomorrow upgrading pc finally and getting all my software swapped over. Going to play my best over weekend, calling +10 buyin weekend. Will post some very interesting hands tomorrow form today’s session.

some odd hands from last session have to post fast bc omw out the door

Unfortunately not currently on pace to add 5th table next 10k hands but still 5k to go and weekend could provide a nice turnaround. Unrelated to challenge but I’ve been outpacing losses in nl25 w/wins in hu and shorthanded plo and plo8 despite only playing it 4-5 hrs/week which takes the sting off things a bit.

Are you getting rakeback?

yeah they had me on the 'elite benefits' thing but I asked to switch to the 27% bc I don't rake enough at these micro stakes for that to be worth it. I also usually get the $50 level of the rake race weekly, would be the $125 even at these stakes but I take 2 days a week off from playing online.

Weeeeell fk. I put my ACR and DriveHUD data on flash drive and moved it to new computer set up and it's still not finding previous data despite all the files otherwise functioning correctly. Idk if the Hand Histories file got corrupted or what. I will mess with it a little more but chances or I'll just rebuild data on this setup. It's not a big loss either way I can pop on laptop if I need to to review the older data and I also more or less know the stats and styles on the main regs at these stakes.

I guess what I'll do is just update on here when I hit the first 10k hands on new system and then also do a manual aggregate with the previous data in the thread so w/r & $ are accurate for duration of challenge. Will be interesting to see if my stats are more reasonable over this 10k.

The driveHud site says something about creating a backup file but I don’t see how that could be any more effective then just moving the whole collection of files like I did.

Been grinding out the weekend on the new setup, results been decent but still making some large mistakes often it’s been calls in spots that just aren’t being bluffed. Will post some hands from weekend on Monday and then update stats when first 10k hands knocked out on new set up. It will be cool to compare it directly to the first 10k of challenge.

gl, keep it up sir!

Thx thx!


Crazy swings this weekend but keeping it in the green despite running under EV in some big spots. Had a unicorn V today on several tables dead set on bluffing me in just huge spots where he shouldn’t (and never did) have anything.

Hoping to keep winning another 5k hands so I can add table at next update.

Will try to post 3 hands tomorrow where I felt little lost on over weekend.

bleh cringe session just gonna hold off on update from weekend till after this 10k hands. so many good spots/fish on today and they all wrecked me just doing the most bizarre unconventional sht and smashing every river. not gonna post a bunch of stupid beat hhs where I'm massively ahead EV all in on turns etc. much needed day off tomorrow then back at it wednesday, feeling little crappy about session and just need to clear head and come back strong. I will probably post a few spots I tagged tomorrow if I get some time.

*lost 4 pots today to 2 outers for $50ish each. ended up down only about -6.5 bi so could be worse. Gonna be a close one on this 10k hands w/only 1.5k to go it’s pretty break even. I have decided to bump up to 6 tables starting next session as I’m to the point where I feel like I need more hands/session and I don’t want to play fast tables (zoom/rush/zone). if I feel like it’s negatively impacting me will cut back.

some hands from weekend and monday

H1)not usually going to open this from this position or this smaller amount but table is 4 handed w/one blind posted. post flop I think I play it fine could probably just x flop or bet smaller but figured were only getting paid by Kx anyways. ott bet slightly overpot bc again its sort of Kx or what? otr how is it not just a jam and try to get sticky KT KJ KQ to snap?

*the two 77 hands are not part of the 'beats' I talk about, those are more or less spots I'm already all in as huge EV favorite whereas the former are spots I'm just curious on line but am obvs getting it in with no equity as V has already got there.

Did hop on for short session today, did ok but had had issues with these 2 QQ spots. Im sure they both could have been played better so looking for any feedback.

H1) I mean I guess I just x-fold river. Is anyone just open jamming river? Should I have not pushed as hard otf+turn?

H2) Felt like he had way more XXhh broadway combos ott especially with me unblock Qh. I sort of spazzed on turn obvs, detestably he can call off w/TT JJ and possibly his heart over combos...if he folds his heart combos that seems fine. I really don't think this V will ever be open-calling 44 from ep here.

*QQ hand 1 meant to say SHOULD I have pushed harder otf/turn. As played I have as many/more heart overs I would think is why maybe I can jam river?

*hand 2 description should say debatably...why the fk would it correct to detestably

Can you explain why you decided to check? Would you check KK and AA as well?

Me personally im just range betting these boards with my whole range including AK, AQ, T9 all the air etc. Just makes things easier to have a simplified game plan in these spots because it seems after XC flop both hands you were unsure of what to do and AP im XR both flops.

AP river fold is good in H1 and I guess H2 turn jam is probably fine

Yes I think I x-call all my non heart overpairs this spot and probably lead w/heart in overpairs.

Reasons being I feel like x-call overpairs on these type boards let V keep entire range intact and potentially make more and larger mistakes +have more bluffs on later streets whereas I feel leading let’s him play his hands better. Also I’m obviously never bet folding a board like this so I’m more comfortable bet-calling w/backdoor fd as opposed to w/out. I could be off in my thinking on one or both of these points.

Post 1:

H1) You're saying 44 is not in your usual CO open range?
With the hand itself your sizing doesn't make any sense on this texture, what's your thought process behind it?

h2) I highly doubt someone playing 26/22 is a rec fish, leading is okay on this texture at a small freq, but again your sizing is poor.

h3) Please never think of not jamming river, but your sizing is again a disaster here leaving yourself 1/3 pot otr.

Post 2:

h1) What do you mean by your question 'should I have not pushed as hard otf+turn?' Flop is just a range bet.

h2) Please just bet bet bet.

I meant while I’m effectively cu bc were playing 4 handed and 44 open is standard I guess I meant I’m also utg for 6max so thought I would mention I wouldn’t normally open that utg. Bc of the one blind and subsequent smaller open sizing I got lost on sizing on flop bc just felt betting something like 1/3 pot just kept pot so minuscule when I need to be building it for larger sizings ott and river. In retrospect I guess standard works better bc when he does have a K he will often pop it for us but I also keep in some weaker range.

H2 can’t speak to his stats other than I’m on a new computer and my database is very limited but he has been an absolute maniac on several tables this session.

H3 I have been watching a lot of nl100-200 6max player videos and they frequently advocate going slightly over pot size ott in similar spots. Do you mean it is so bad (sizing) bc relation to my remaining stack otr?


Pt2

H1) Sorry I posted correction I meant to say should I have pushed action (xr flop lead turn or similar) otf and turn.

H2) this may very well be just a b-b-b spot however with such a static flop and paired 2s I should be way ahead (or behind) and I was under impression should be checking some overpairs here?
