Ran really good, but also ran real bad post flop. Had Aces cracked once or twice. Also was very successful defending on the blinds.

Well, I've been really busy with life and school stuff most of the week. On Wednesday, my nephew was born, so now I'm an uncle. I was sick for most of the week as well and I had to write two papers. By Friday night, I was completely exhausted and wiped out. So I missed playing poker and I come back to running bad by getting rivered and crap.

I played a lot today, was down early, but battled back and recovered most of my losses.

I dunno what it is about 200NL, but I run so ridiculously bad on it. Fishies calling on and showing the way upper part of their range and hitting sets. Just absolutely brutal. Luckily, I did very well at 100 zone and was able to not lose too much, but damn I'm so pissed at 200NL, I absolutely lost it. AK<<<KJ blind vs blind. Everyone running so good against me at 200NL.

I guess my MO in poker is to run really really bad post flop. A high flops with Kangs, 2 pair/set flopping on dry boards with me holding overpairs, naked flush draws getting there. MBFN.

When you're getting coolered on Bovada you are ****ed...in most cases it's nearly impossible to get away from 2nd and 3rd nut with the amount of bad play that exists on the site....just gotta make it thru those times man.

Was down early, people running good against me, then I battled back and won a small profit. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Well haven't had a 500 dollar day in a while. Ran pretty good, got great value with premiums. Would've been close to 600 but I ran QQ into KK blind vs blind. Rigged.

Obv rigged. Nice day.

Didn't play very much, was very busy over the weekend. Played like 50 hands before the DEN-NE game ended and then I decided to do some more homework.

Good way to end the month. Been playing 200 NL FR in addition to my 100 zone tables. It's been going fairly well, hopefully it continues.

80 k hands breakeven on any site if you are a winning player is not standard and pretty sick. Can def happen tho - And I would say more likely to happen on Bovada and not 20 tabling.

There is more variance in the NL cash games on bovada due to a a particular type of player that is plentiful there. When things go there way well...It is what it is.

Your downswing feels so familiar OP. The ol' can't win no matter what swtich. You have a good attitude about it but one too many of those swangz can be tricky for the mind. glgl

Of course downswings happen, you start questioning everything because it feels like it's lasting forever. I had my first losing month in a long time, and it's very humbling. I forgot to post the graph last night because I was doing homework, but will post it tonight.

Ran really good at 200NL FR, but ran really really bad at 100 zone get 95-5 and lost, lost a flip and ran into a cooler QQ into KK.

As promised here's Nov's graph.

Played FR 200 NL while doing some homework and ran really really good post flop. Hit a flush vs bottom set on a 3bet pot with AK suited on a T high flop with 2 diamonds. Hit trips vs bottom two pair All in on the turn. Hit quite a few sets, but didn't get too much value, even when someone floped TP TK vs me with position

Ran pretty bad post flop, but it's FR so that's expected.

Played some 200 NL FR in the afternoon, and won some money like 150 or so. Then ran really really really bad on the 2nd session. KK into AA for 210 bbs, then I got AA into KK and for 275 BBs AIPF and a K hits on the river, FML.

So apparently everyone runs good against me. AK <<< 68ss flop is 745 r turn is an Ace and river is a K vs a bluffing whale, and of course I stack him for 60 bbs. KK <<45 SOOOOOTED 2 limpers I raise on button flop is 443 rainbow. I value bet, short stack goes allin, another 40 bbs lost there. MBN.

So been thinking about this for a while and I think I need coaching. Keep running into tougher tables with tougher regs who are much more aggro than I am. Everytime I 3/4 bet light they 4/5 bet me :-\. Small sample size but it seems I'm losing often. FR regs are way more passive.
12-08-2015 , 12:51 PM
You may be over estimating how often you should be 3/4 betting light or picking the wrong spots. Especially 4 bet. It's easy to go over board with the light 4 bet in general. It's also easy to run into the tops of everyone's ranges for a while when defending light like this. This will make it feel like you are doing something wrong when you may not be.

To be fair, I did some HH review and about 80% of the time I got 3 bet they had the better hand, but still they were 3 betting me with stuff like KJ off, which is fine but makes them tougher to play against especially OOP. I dunno, I seem to get 3 bet often where the aggro regs don't get 3 bet often when stealing.
12-08-2015 , 02:24 PM
It's could be small sample or kinda in your head type thing. It's doubtful they are picking on you specifically. Know what I mean?

This is something that becomes much more prevalent as you move up. Regs will start picking better spots in general and be 3/4 betting more often. You should become used to it and develop a strong defending/ counter strategy to be able to hold your own.

Yea definitely, but it sure seems like it. 200NL+ is much more reggy than 100NL based on my sample so far.
12-08-2015 , 03:24 PM
I'm sure it is more reggy but from the small sample of 200nl I've played they're not that tough to play against. Just cuz a guy has reggy stats doesn't mean he's good. There's plenty of material out there that describes how to play 22/18 or 23/19 doesn't mean they know what they're doin post flop.
