My journey to $1 000 000 (challenge done) - Page 98 - Poker Blogs and Goals -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

thats an idiotic range though, since if we give him all QQ combos we should give him all KK combos too. seems really thin as a bluff since the few value hands villain actually has will shrug-call some percentage of the time (esp given gievs image), and a guy who isnt raising 9T for value on the river here is prob gonna have a SUPER tough time folding sets and 78cc. just my 2 cents.

i'm really impressed what you have done here. It surprised me that you play just 4h/day, 5days/week. this is just 20h per week and it is hard to imagine your efficiency copmaring you to others players 'living' from poker. Now i'm wondering what is your way to still improve skills except the 'after-match' analyses.

Every stake where ppl will understand if you are balanced or not.

I improve my skillz by playing.

Have to admit it's satisfying to see you lose sometimes

With the QQ blocker bluff hand, I assume if you had AA you'd be much more likely to fold than raise/call?

Curious Giev, do you think balancing your range @ as low as 25-50nl will/would help?

That's why I respect ya giev, cause you keep updating when you're losing while most others abandon their bolgs on their downswings..

Also you might wanna post some HHs this could help both u and us

I suppose someone has already asked you this question about a books but if u had to choose two of them that u consider the most valuable from perspective of time and experience which would u choose?

thx for the advice. i forgot that we started playing looser in the last few years because of regulars and not of the fish. Just remembered that HU bumhunters 3 years ago had 35-45vpip's even vs 10bb stacks on everest

Small stakes holdem by ed miller and let there be range helped me the most when I was moving up.
