Really like this idea. Thanks for sharing!

How bad must OP be when even meale is crushing the Chinese apps.

GTD you the stats you see ingame are wrong. All of my accounts say I have >50vpip ATM. All of the regs boost stats and it's basically mandatory for the 30% games. Looking at ingame stats will almost never help you.

thank you, man!

Yeah check it out. The first few days I installed it, I noticed a significant marked decrease in my random internet browsing, and when I did browse for leisure, it was a much more conscious decision.

Yeah I was aware they were not too likely to reflect actual stats. I thought regs intentionally nitted up their stats though, then played aggressively and got too much credit.

Haven't been too good about updating (obv).

Since OP, I've managed to run up my Global roll to 19.2k from 8.5k, feeling pretty good about that. I had been thinking about just remaining at 200nl for the rest of the year to re-tool and limit stress but with the roll I have now it def makes sense to play soft 400.

Really trying to work on improving my thought process. Over the last few weeks I've started to realize more consciously just how un-thorough and incomplete our decision making process is at the tables. It's amazing how often when multi-tabling/autopiloting we act on our "top of the mind" thoughts regarding a spot. E.g., "I'm close to the bottom of my range here"...>> proceeds to bluff without much further thought given.
Tbf, the short timebanks on GP definitely have a big impact on this, but still, we simply have to be assessing multiple options/at least two-three relevant variables before acting, and if we're not able to, we need to quit the session, or play less tables.

Hey man just saw this, GL turning it around. Glad to see you are rebounding well which will no doubt help with the confidence. Don't worry too much about the red line for now, it might not be PIO recommended but a strong blue line and weak red line can still be a very winning style against the player pool you are mostly up against.

Yeah, it is very easy to slip into a state where you aren't even hand reading anymore because you become too focused on your own range than what your opponent is doing. I just multitabled at 100NL and 50NL last night 4 tables and got slaughtered for over $500. Now back down to $1,400 which is very depressing. It ruined my entire day and I felt so hopeless. It wasn't all bad luck either. I made some very bad plays which hurts all the more. It only takes one bad day to really ruin a bankroll.


Previously played 30,000ish hands 4 tabling 10NL zoom poker and was up 50 buy-ins which is pretty lucky. People were bleeding me money in some spots so that was very nice. Was really excited because I was rolled for 100NL again. After what happened last night, my confidence is crushed.

sick!

Thanks man. what are you up to these days?

That's rough, sorry to hear. What games are you playing, 50zone or regular tables? If I were you I'd be playing a ton of 50z, so great for when you have a limited roll, super soft, and best hands/hr for americans.
Problem with zone for me is tilt, playing anon zone is already a strat mind****, so when you get frustrated, can really go off the rails.

Still playing the mid-high stakes games on the US facing sites, we'll probably play each other on Global at some point. Also rediscovered indoor bouldering which has been amazing and my favorite hobby for a while now.

I was playing regular 100NL and 50NL. Where can I play 50z? The site I play at only has 10z.

nice!
I've been bouldering regularly for the past 4 months, up to v5s now

hai


oh assumed you were american. ignition has 50 zone right?

some photos of a hike I did to a fire tower last weekend in the eastern sierras

Beautiful photos OP! Thanks for sharing

thanks man! glad you enjoyed them!

common turn spot against a rec on paired board, really not sure what's best there. If it's vs BTN I x turn bc I figure they can have a fair amt of random 7x in their range, but against CO, decided to barrel for value + equity denial and of course got the MIN RAISE IN THE FACE YO

result feels like I bled chips but it feels ****ty to give free cards to fds and possibly miss value from 44-TT on turn.
Then I have to call min raise and cry call river against 45%.

thoughts?

Ultimately it will be player dependent, but over all I like checking on the turn. Versus a reg I think you'll be up against pairs like TT-88 a bit more. Versus a recreational you are going to be up against a fair amount of 7x.

If you check turn, I think you can call a bet on the turn and river given that they aren't too large. If they check back turn, then you can bet/fold river.

Giving free cards isn't always as bad as people make it out to be. Sometimes you'll be in the same spot where you want those free cards. Also, people have the ability to bluff at you when they miss which happens more often.

I like betting the turn only if you know you can comfortably get 3 streets of value.

A reg will be more willing to call a bet/check/bet line with pocket pairs then a bet/bet line, because they have to worry about a river bet. Some regs may adjust by check/raising on the river as a bluff if they notice your bet/check/bet line getting too middling value, but most don't do this and you can adjust accordingly if it happens.

As played, I think you should consider exploitatively folding the turn. Most of the shorter stack players are looking to hit big hands and fold a lot of everything else. I can see some players taking this line with 9 8 or 5 4. A hand like A J would be quite ambitious for most, but not impossible. Still there are a lot of 7x hands so yuck.

Do you have any reads on the specific player?

I am curious as to why hero would take a different line vs a flat from CO than vs a flat from BTN. Seems overly complicated and irrelevant, imo.

hadn't really developed reads yet.
I think your post is on point.

idea would be that BTN can flat stuff like 75s, A7o, K7s, just more random 7x in their range compared to CO, but yeah, it might be irrelevant, and many fish won't really distinguish their range that much by position

check turn

hokay
so consensus is BXB or do ppl also like XBB?

x flop is good too

Dropped like $2.5k between last night and this morning, bit of a setback. This morning was std preflop coolers at 400nl for the most part. Still, I feel confidence in thought process slipping a bit without having studied too much in recent days. Need to put in some hours analyzing hands and regroup.

Global shut down randomly last night and hasn't credited balances back, such a joke.
Not sure about the future of the site, seems to be gradually getting worse and worse everyday, although there are still spates of good action.

funny one by bad reg

I actually don't mind his line given that he doesn't do it too often and the table dynamics are right. Some players cap their range too much by always raising the turn with their strong hands and as a result people will overfold this river to an overbet. I think Ax and 86s are pretty good bluff candidates in opponent's shoes.

Versus players that cap their range on the turn, not having the ace of diamonds may actually be favorable since they will usually be chasing the nut flush while also holding a pair.

If you held AT or A7 it wouldn't be unreasonable to call flop and turn bets, but fold to the river bet. The overbet also discourages players from check/raising all-in as a bluff with those hands.

OOP would only ever checkraise the turn with maybe a baby flush, debatable. Unblocking the Ad (vil has observed 6/52 of the deck on the turn and not seen the Ad) is such a tiny percentage of the deck that this ‘information’ is spurious at best, and totally non-actionable.

On Global Poker, sometimes the most money is just calling and letting regs shovel you their stack. OOP can do no otherwise. Calling a single pair of Qx on the river would be more difficult, but should happen often enough, especially vs badregs.
