The guy is Dag Mikkelsen right?

is the one one the right Odd_Oddsen? dont't know what his real name is

Correct.

Just grinding out the 50's which is sort of soft.

Last couple of days after Barcelona.

Brutti you have PokerStars Alpha running?

Yes I do!

Just played a short-session:


A few hands:

This hand is one example of what coaching videos on DC tells you that the Micro and SSNL Coaches are usually wrong. They claim that regs usually raise sets on flops like this. I see so many regs flat flop and X/R or just 2-Bet turn so often with sets when the turn bricks off. Doing it here with 2 people and one fish I think is somewhat bad. I would say it would be quite common for atleast either Hero or the recreational player to have some equity in the pot.

The river is just lol I didn't want the reg in the hand to flat river in case he had something. He is a weak reg so I think he snaps off all T+ Flushes here anyday when I take the line I do. However him having the holdings he has money is going in regardless.

Well sort of a cooler, but regs tend to spazz out in spots like these, ended up coolering him though. I think sets and overpairs plays sort of the same in spots like this cause villain can get in somewhat light and does not put me on overpair ever, which means I rep a pretty narrow line in his eyes I'd guess.

River: ($100.50) A (2 players - 1 is all in)




I think this last JJ hand is super close between flatting / folding and 4-Bet Call.

I think it really depends if villain in this hand jams TT in this spot, which I do think he does because I do think he 3-Bet it in the first place. I don't really have any sample on him and he seems to be very solid and putting a lot of pressure in general in good spots without spewing..


equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 56.771% 55.40% 01.37% 233355456 5780460.00 { TT+, AKs, AKo}

Hand 1: 43.229% 41.86% 01.37% 176310408 5780460.00 { JJ }

With the money already in the pot its a slamdunk 4-bet call if he has TT in his range. If he has JJ+ and AK I am obviously getting into a spot which is quite - EV.



Sometimes over-pairs aren't good.

GL

Fellow Norwegian grinder here. Nice going, Brutti!

Let me know on pm if you want to exchange Skype and discuss some hands

Ok

Did play one more session. I was sure I was down 3-4 BI which I probably was.

Got coolered in two spots, and a reg sort of owned me in a pot where I bluff jammed a busted FD and a gutter.

I fought back winning some stacks with aces and other stuff vs TPs in 3-Bet pots..I ended the last session up a bit more than a buy-in. Which isn't too bad when I thought I was down 3-4.

I think this hand was pretty interesting which shows that NL 50 is all about valuebetting:

Nice graphs

Well,nice work sir!What your size bet means on the turn with JJ?

I do it with a polarized range for the most part. In spots like that I usually have hands I would get it in with, sometimes I don't. I just mix it up, I especially do it vs stationy opponents who doesn't like to fold.

Yes I run godlike. What can I do.



So today it was time to punish the "not so bright" regs.

For those who wants to see graph. I have no idea how my redline is up, I feel like a nit in certain spots.

New Sessh: New winnings. +$104

I dont really care about the redline as long as the green is having a boner. That being said, this increased both. I think villain has a lot of air and funky floats here despite the board being this dry so I though I let him bluff of some with underpairs or AK / AQ high.





I think this hand is quite interesting from both players perspective: I flat AKs and AQs here on occasions, but I also SQZ some percentage of the time. My hand plays very good post-flop making nutted flushes straights and whatnot. The part in this hand is that villain has a quite high SQZ %. I think my back-raise does tilt him a lot when I do it. He wrote in chat: Dumb fish I made it 7.50. Which I find funny and think he just spazzed / tilted off there getting it in super bad and might felt out-played I don't know..

Sickest TS ever.

Hey, just came by to say GL!

Hi Tharrrr!

Just moved back to the U.K (Southampton) after a few months in Oslo - Norway + some travelling and slacking in-between. I'm set in my new apartment and the internet was already up and running when I moved in. Just bought a VPN so I could get around ******ed block filter on 2P2 and a few other poker sites.


I will get some more thread savers. Just have to find some goodies, I can't be assed to post mediocre girls.

Before I post the numbers I'm pretty sure every reg that played me today will say that I ran good. Well I have to say I haven't played this good in a loong time and absolutely crushed the regs and fish. In combination of running decent.

5% of the volume is NL 100 /w $80 profit.


Since I moved:

I did think that he would check-back all lower pairs than TT, which is a very small portion of his range and bet all his nutted hands. When villain bet this small I was pretty sure he had some busted draw. He would probably bet bigger with Jx or raise it at some point before in the hand. Fish just does not trap and jam rivers or bets like this when they has it almost ever.

Had a bad session yesterday, a combination of playing bad and running bad incl. running into fish's top-ranges.

I had lol hangover today. Another blackout from yesterday as well.. FML.

However after 2 paracet, some coke and eventually the heart to try to eat something I figured I was in shape for some grindaments. BOOOM. The sessions on 29th and 30th are zoom 50 only, 3 tables, No HUD.
