What up buddy! Wanted to chime in again! Not happy about you coming to bovada but do wish you luck! I don't need another reg taking my money from the fish . But in all seriousness, wpn was super tough for me and that seems like the general consensus so don't let it put you down! Goodluck bro!

I'd def size the 6b w AA bigger, when he 3b/5bs I don't think we should be thinking that much about going as small as possible to induce/get him call any-two, there comes a time where he will have a hand strong enough for getting it in pre/calling off more, and I think when a guy 5bets that's usually the case. Our 4b size should also be bigger, like 10. Flop sizing is fine.

Same goes for 4bet size w the other AA, there are two factors that makes us want to size it bigger here: 1) we're OOP 2) we're deep. As for flop I think betting std size (50% +) >>> checking >>>>> betting 30% pot like u did. Yeah we have the flop crushed, but we want to start building a good sized pot, and if we are gonna bet in the first place it shouldn't matter that much to villain what size we bet since we're 200+ deep.

GL in the future! And yeah, don't be embarrased about results/hands, we're all here to learn etc.

Yeah I'm still on Revolution. Also playing on Bovada too.

Yup, those Russians give me a lot of trouble and when I don't have a hand they are very hard to play against.

Nah, I'm not a member of any training sites at the moment.

TY. Yeah it's just the way I am I guess. I need to learn how to accept it when things don't go my way(even if it's for a long period of time.)

TY. I'm pretty sure everyone's goal in poker is to make money. If you really want to work on your game, play on WPN. It's filled with regs, and they are basically teaching you where you are leaking.

TY Panda!

I really haven't play the last couple of days. Enjoyed the weekend and watched a bunch of world cup matches. USA/Portugal match delivered today. Also my S.Korean team got whooped by Algeria .




Here is the data base review stat I was shocked at. When I was winning back in March-April, my COLD CALLS were showing profit.





Here is May-present.




It's not like I changed my COLD CALL range, so why am I losing? Not really sure, going to have to dig deeper into the data base.




Hoping for a smooth last week in June, GL to you all.

Just like everything else, it's variance. The only thing you need to watch is which one is the less common form of variance in this situation, for you. It's also highly dependent on your level of run good and opponents in small sample sizes.

That last goal in the USA game, dafuqqqq.

DB analysis is dumb because its never a big enough sample

look at mine, im down with AK over 500k hands.. is AK a bad hand to play? (im down ten's of buyins in EV with it though)

Sup? I really haven't been playing much lately, doing more life stuff, and watching the World Cup. Week is going great, but I've only put in about 1,500 hands this week. I just don't feel like putting in marathon sessions lately, and just playing when I want to.




I got really lucky here. For some reason, I always assume I'm at 100bb.






Trying to develop a c/c range as the PFR. Am I doing it right?






This guy is a reg. He has a tight UTG open. Looks like I've been respecting his raises too much.






This is the way I'm winning. Fish doing dumb ****. Yeah it's awesome to win money, but am I really beating the games if I just win like this?






Wow, 1/2 the year already gone after this week. Time is flying. Mid-year report soon. GL ya'll.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh! I was reading through the hands, jolly as heck, and then I saw some **** that asked if you're beating fish, are you really beating the game?

WtfYES! That IS beating the game. Quit being such a Debbie downer. You think Doyle wants to sit with Phil Ivey, Hellmuth, Negreanu, Laak, and Antonius at every game he plays? That's made for TV stuff. Every single game you play should be an attempt to simply go fishing.

Also, QQ: I would gii in that situation too. 4-handed, running into aces is just something bizarre. After the 4-bet, I could make a case for cold-calling, and feel like that might be the route that I personally take. If the flop is K4J, you may be able to make a sensible fold to a flop shove because you can be fairly certain that the king hits a 4-bet range (even though he has better than that, gotta figure AK+ KK AA)

AQ: I think you may have found a nice spot to do what you wanted. I'm not sure; I would raise the flop and try to get some more value, but probably chase villain off.

QQ: Raise river?

Q7: Nice call. It got scary on the river.

I think you could start developing a leading range on this river. It generally favours the x/c range over the better, and you could balance it with some 78hh or TT for bluffs.

You should think about why we are x/calling. We want to be percieved as capped, which invites villains to barrel us off that capped range. When we raise the flop, it contradicts our range, which leads to a spot which is hard to balance and easy to play against.

I also think if you do want to develop a x/raising range on this flop, we should be doing it with a more polarized range, such as 8Tdd and 77 (77 doesn't block top pair combos etc).

I also need to defend some of my flop checks. I feel I am check/folding pretty often.

Haven't really put in any good volume the past week. I just don't feel like playing for some reason. Best not to play when your head isn't in the right place, right? I've been skateboarding lately and getting in some good exercise. Can't believe I use to ride this thing 6-8 hours/day back in the day. I can't even last 2 hours these days. I use to have a passion for skateboarding. Had some small sponsors coming in, and that's when I stopped/found poker. Who knows how far I could of gone with it.


GL to all in July.

I take it you're not playing today then?

Hey, at least you're making ~min. wage playing poker.

If you stopped skating to play poker, imagine how far you must be able to go with poker.

Mid Year Update


Graph




Stakes




So I'm down about 8 buy ins at NL100. I'm realizing it isn't that bad. Feels much worse though for some reason. I'm going to stop chasing RB/Bonuses the last half of the year, and focus on win rate. Been RB whoring ever since I started playing poker. Enough of that, I want to start winning at a decent rate and make some real money at small stakes.

GL to all the rest of the year.

Just interested, how much more you made from RB?

I have kept track of RB/Bonuses since the start of March on a spreadsheet. So far it has totaled $4,310 in RB, $2,742.50 in rake races, and $1010 in reload bonuses.

#RBPro

Had a group coaching session today and it went really well. These guys really know their ****. I'm learning a lot just listening to their thought processes in hands. I feel like my thought process in some spots are very fish-like compared to theirs lol.


Some hands from today:

Is 3b jamming flop ok here? Or should I just call? Villan is 44/22 with 2.3 AF, and c/r flop of 3/10. I have no fold equity vs this guy, but at the same time I have a pretty big combo draw.






He has a 80% fold to cbet over 497 hands. If he's folding that much, he's not even peeling with JT here? 99 makes sense? Ahead of 22, so I don't think I can fold.






Vs a 62/25 aggro fish. I can't fold right?






Value towning a reg. Would you check back the river here? It just looked like a mid pp.






lol?






lol?






Good news. Almost out of make up on Bovada. Bad news. Since I don't play on ACR anymore, the debt I had there got placed on Bovada. I'm going to try really hard the next couple of days to get out of make up. No NL100 until I am debt free.

Would prob play turns in H1 as we have position, but jamming can never be that bad w such a draw, as u say we prob dont have much fold eq so it depends how "light" he is stacking off.

H2 never folding a set, but lold pretty hard at results He prob has some JT combos (or at least he should), but he is repping pretty thin otr so we are not folding.

And rest is cool, wp etc.

thanks panda.

yeah was shocked at hand 2. he was 18/14 at the time. didn't expect to see that.

Just ended my session and some interesting spots came up. Any feedback welcome.




28/22 reg with a 12% 3b from SB. fold to 4b is 35%. seems like he's been tilting. he's down around 5-6 BI's before this hand.






25/21 reg, cbet 65%. AF 2.2. SB steal BvB 55%.






18/14, fold to 3b 50%, fold to cbet 3b pot 44%. 2.3 AF. previously flatted my 4B IP with 9Tdd and just jammed with a straight on the flop.






44/0 passive whale over 3k hands! i dont even think he's jamming a 8 here given how passive he is. played with him a bunch. is it still a call on river???






Been running very poorly lately. By poorly I don't mean losing 80/20's, or getting sucked out on. It's more of I have TPTK and board runs out 4 straight. Or I have bottom 2 and get counterfeited on river. Some very poor runouts lately. Stuff like that.

Put in another session and got my ass handed to me.





So troll..






So troll..





So troll..






Frustration river call..






So troll..






You know you're getting trolled when you flop a royal vs a 34bb fish and win $12.






Only real cool hand. Reg obviously not aware of his range.






Yay, another month of this bull**** fml

wow that AQ vs TJ was brutal. when someone that bad sucks out that hard that would probably tilt me

what can i do? gotta lose that money..

Almost out of the downer I had the other day.






Vs a bad reg. How did I fade this?






So troll...






Vs an aggro reg.






Thanks I guess.






Yup, 9 high always good there.







Won a bunch of pots where I gii good and held. Off day tomorrow, back at it Monday.
