50% ish with straddle…

Akqs = flash draw
Akqss = monotone board
Turn: ts = card same suite as on flop came

I don’t understand how to post hand more proper way

For live hands your format is more than acceptable

I don’t understand how to post hand more proper way

AK2 = 3 suits
AK2m= mono
AK2s = flush draw
AK29s = flush draw on turn card (bdfd)
AK2s9f/AK29s8f = flush draw on flop, comes on turn/flush draw on turn comes on river card or AK29s8f

j94sst8 vs J94mT8

If I note a hand, I usually try to do something like this

Flop/T/R Positions PF action Post Flop action

A98sTJf BUvsBB 3x open x/b33/c, x/x, x/b75/f
K54mA4 BvB 3x/11x/c x/b75/c, x/b75/f (shows KTo)
K54Am4
K54A4m



f= flush comes in (in flop/t/r description)
m= monotone
s= flush draw


f= fold (pf/post flop action)
x= check
b= bet
xR= check raise
r= raise
L= limp

Color coded for ease of reading examples. And I'm tailoring mine in this way because it's just faster to write out for me while playing. Like I said, I enjoy your thread please don't change anything if you don't want to. Not saying anything is wrong with how you do it so please don't take it like I'm telling you how to write out a HH lol, you can do it however you want. I like bbs or percentages though instead of fractions so I can keep it next to the action (b50, b75). Hand rankings I use caps for and actions/descriptions are lower case so it's easily distinguishable.

Edit: messed up some stuff in here and think I fixed it but let me know if something doesn't make sense

You are not rude, thank you for feed back

Such a nice color things you showed, thank you)

I am just not sure I want to decorate so many hands

Usually I just text them in notes of phone and then share with friends and blog, so use to it, so probably even if I will change something, not anytime soon

And also I am posting from
Phone, so not sure it’s possible from
It to color everything

Oh, guys I am so tired, just want to sleep

Little more online, much more spending time at laptop, more attention to health

Hope I will surprise my invisible readers with some creative posts soon without posting hands

I have things to share with you, but lifestyle is so ****ed up, so all parts of this missing dialogue are loosing

As I told in past couple messages I wish I post more thoughts then hands
Not about strategy
About what bother me, about American beauty which surrounds me every day
I really like that country, I don’t even want to go farther then 30 min away from city
But I don’t, unfortunately
They are so far from poker, so intimate…
I like this quite here)

October was good months, 0 money spent on gambling, I stopped smoking, my purpose as a human became more clear for me

Do you guys like my style in writing? For me it’s important, because i want to write more then play, just so not sure that it’s proper place to do it

Ahah just wrote sentences above and realized how small sense in it including that is probably the first frank message about everything and nothing

I just can’t left that page empty, not anymore, they are touchy, sensitive, craving to be filed and I crave for new invisible friends)

Ok ok, enough demagogy

Happy Halloween!

Omg just lost 2 deposits out of 3 in online poker rooms
Complete madness in hu session
Was so close to go wild and gamble but my sponsor was in time online
I was sure I am grab some adequacy for the past couple months
And I did…
Just one small thing can make me go crazy and loose a bunch of money, I can’t restrict myself from playing everything emotional, gambling, then plo now hu?
Maybe should just Sunday tournaments and some live cash games
Or just Sunday tournaments even, because i am trying to take break from live poker, unsuccessfully so far
That’s everything sad, but not disaster, seems like in my 30+ I finally begun learn on my mistakes, hope it will be last leaked deposit on a flat place in 1h without even a hint on something bad
NAPT here by the way, then F1 and WPT after
December should be hot months at vegas

It’s really time to gather my psychological condition and turn all my experiences and skills to something worth able

All dump decisions should be turned to lessons all weaknesses and whatever luck to art background

Time to download inspiration from everything time for one big metamorphosis
