Who's rippa and jvl? Gl this month buddy.

white shirts at a curry?!? amateur hour over here.

can't wait to spend all my ri3 winnings on championship tickets.

Nice dinner , food was great, esp when you dodge £700

Or take out a hit on Mike Ashley?

700pounds in London?! must have been a foodtruck for that many people or nandoos. don't think you get much else for that much.

He mentioned they went for a cheap indian place...

haha, he brings them out on special occasions. Never seen him in a tie though!

hahaha, mayo won't be happy with that comment

Yeah it's definitely too weak to call because i would never flat a good hand there so the regs behind can squeeze at a very high frequency. If this was at micro stakes then calling preflop is definitely fine.

By bad fish i mean he will make fundamental mistakes as a whole. Because his preflop range is so wide he'll be getting to the flop with a load of hands that can't continue on a lot of flops.

Even if hes a kinda cally fish, i think it's still fine to 3b them because our skill edge is so great.

obv

this is what happens when you mess with the best, he had ample warning

thanks man! yeah, i should have check folded the river vs you. gl!

I think this villain is far more likely to just open QT. I guess it's feasible but that he could limp call but i just think they'd still x/c the turn.

jAcKdArIpPa, an mtt pro and JVL_STARRR69 from stars, he plays mainly 600-2k

loool

chin up mate

Always fade 12 way, impossible to lose

lol, it's actually a really nice place. Drinks were £300 and food was £400

Had an evening of thrice, home game and more thrice last night. I feel like i'm pretty gambled out but while the fish are in town i guess i gotta put in the hours. We played £1/£2, 7 handed, £400 min sit down, 72s and 72o £20 bonus and if you win 3 hands in a row everyone pays you £50. It was a chaos game to say the least.

epic poker face, these live kids



Results of thrice and poker from yesterday:

bena +889
smb -339
deepz -105
blakkman -94
kreuz -22
dccnes -1399
mayo +538
ripa -910
jvl +1032

Germans making a comeback.

Had a session today and at one point i was down the most i've ever been down in a single session. It was hideous. Losing every big pot, made a couple bluffs and then had a 80 vpip whale at 1k 6m who took at least 2500 off me.



vs reg:



this was vs the whale:



funny spot vs reg:



The month is pretty disastrous so far. down over 7k. I expect to have 2 losing months a year based on my past few years, but there is still plenty of time to get out of it.

We bailed on dinner last night as people were too tired, so we're out for a final meal at sticks and sushi tonight instead.

Will grind again tomorrow, dunno if cash or timbey. Motivation is pretty low!

gl

Had a lot of fun at the sticks and sushi last night. Was a great ending to a really fun week!



Had a great first session today and a really poor second one.



Overall i played bad. Felt a lot of frustration from yesterday creeping into my game. Spewed too much, made awful call downs and bluffed in some horrendous spots. Will steady the ship tomorrow for sure.

all skill vs reg and fish:



Wanted to die otr here. Big whale CC the 3b and reg 4b:



Lucky me



There aren't so many people around to distract me this week so i intend on putting in some quality poker.

gl

One does not win limped pot all-in with bottom two pair!!!!

What do you put him in Hand 5 with the river shove? TT? QT? Is he really 4betting those pre?

The way i see it is we lose to everything he is going to bet there besides AK, but the combos of AK are outweighed by everything else we lose to.

haha, i have no idea how i held there

I'd say he has TT here. The guy who CC the bb was a 75 vpip whale so he definitely 4b's TT pre. QT wouldn't ever 4b though. It's a really awful spot for me. The more i look at it the more i want to call now though

Are you saying we should call then? I mean, he knows he reps sooo thin that it just has to be value imo. It's really really grim

Put in a high quality session yesterday. I've decided as part of my goals of maintaining off table work, i'm booking a couple coaching sessions with a friend and boss reg. Hoping to work on some spots where i'm leaking a lot of money.

I got a seat at 5k yesterday too... and actually played 3 rounds.



this was vs reg. My heart was beating out my chest when i shoved river



vs weak reg. Got snapped so so fast. Can take this line with 99/QQ and nut flushes. Barely have any bluffs too:



these two hands were back to back vs same reg:



and then going thin:



very pleased with how i played. Full therapy day today so will probably only play a short session if i do play.

glgl

damn 5knl. i'd sit that but then again i'd need 5k in my stars account.

curious about the AK hand , do you think there would be benefit in designing a donking turn/jamming river range as when people bet that turn which polarize their range, it's kinda tough to play AK unless we are c/j. and b/c/b on this board is mostly always Qx+ for value sometimes flush too. regarding your play being nutted in some way, I just thought maybe the population is not slow playing enough. Probably snap too in his shoes when your perceive range is something like TT/JJ/88 with a spade or 98/T9 type hand.

nh @ 5k, thanks for sharing

how did i miss out on this £200nl homegame

Was sweating the table and saw this hand go down live, I was wondering what you had. Nh obv and good to see you taking shots at juicy 5k games now

where are you playing mate?!

I don't think that the turn is better for our range so i wouldn't be introducing a donking range and also villain has way more Axss than we do. I think it was and still is a pretty big mistake bet calling KQ here vs me because i only bluff AsK (i can't have AsJ as i never call the 3b pre) and i have many more value combos (3x99, 3xQQ, AKss, AJss, ATss and a somewhat discounted KJss/TJss). I also call AsQ otr. Even though my perceived range consists of many of the hands you stated, turning any of them into a bluff would mean i would be over bluffing massively. All in all, he caught me bluffing so i lose

thanks man. what did you fold?

hahaha, you would have loved it! Deepz was going absolutely mental, dcc was shoving most hands and smb was coolering/bad beating everything that moved.

thanks mate. i obviously only have QQ+ in that spot at 5k The only worse thing than getting coolered in that spot would be to bluff it off! Are you back to grinding live games in london a lot? How're things going?

---

Didn't grind today as i had too much going on. I feel that all of this client work is really helping my development as a practitioner and i hit 150 client hours today!

On the grind tomorrow for sure.

glgl

lool cant blame you for that . Yup still grinding live games since last time we met. Things are going good and I'm mostly playing 2/5 and 5/10 now. Ive been home for the past 10 days though hence me missing out on the Hippos UKIPT.Seemed like you guys had a blast. Would have loved to meet up again and get to know all those other internet wizards, next time though

that's really good to hear that you've moved up! i guess the game quality must be pretty decent, dw i won't make you share your secrets publicly Yeah, ukipt was a lot of fun, shame we couldn't meet but next time for sure! Keep crushing man

Another winning day under my belt and today was a big boy



Ran really good and felt i didn't make any big mistakes. I think i made one in the hand at 2k below though. I should have flatted the flop but hey, whatever. The opener was a super whale fwiw



This was a sick one. I was going to call the regs river raise as it looked like he had exactly what he had. Unfortunately the whale got lucky. Turn check may be bad? I think it's still ok tbh:



vs good reg:



Graph for the month:



Footie tonight, will hopefully get some good footage to contribute towards a video of our best clips.

glgl

Why is raising flop on 55 hand a mistake?

Nice day man, keep the crush alive.

Strong overcall w teh k3o, guess against 2 fish its ok

He doesn't have any other value hands or even possibly draws in his range so the line doesn't make sense?

Nice work mate!

why cant he have draws, what about QTcc JTcc and QJcc?
