Only 30k more hands and I'm done with the 100k hand challenge.... I think the regs are pretty much getting use to me now. A lot less spew from them and most are playing relatively straight forward but some are still an enigma.

Today was lol.... AA vs JJ split pot, AA vs KK split pot, KK vs AA split spot KK vs AA (I won because villian was greedy and decided to run it once and I spiked a K lol) apart from that just pretty much meh, I think my style of play is boring.... It just beats rake and has very low variance but apart from that I don't do anything particularly amazing just focus on playing solid and not call when I'm behind.

Money won this month:
$2,683 (Hands)
$1,844 (BBJ)
$1,821 (rakeback+bonuses)

Total: $6,348

Hands I wasn't sure about

Wasn't too happy with the overcall from the btn and his range I knew could probably have 87,89 something like that but apart from that I could bomb the flop, check or range bet what are your thoughts?

I played a little NL200 about 2k hands.... I don't think the play is much different to NL100 in fact I say the pool is actually worse the one I played versus the NL100 regs...

Anyway here is a graph and some fun hands...

I will go back to NL100 for the challenge and maybe I do some hands at NL200 when games are good...




For some reason I had the idiot label on the guy who cold 4betted... so what can you do apart from set a trap LOL!!!

I totally under-repped my hand and AK/KQ would 4bet me a decent amount from the btn.... so in my mind I had the nutted 1 pair hand.... I decided to just check and see if he blasts off and evaluate on turn and river when they blank out I had the perfect bluff catching and never folding here since he also has alot of bluffs which wiffed like FD, 65 (gutshot) 54 (rarely) and if he had sets he probably be better larger on the turn this was my thought anyway, he came from a country where I label them as not very good poker players so yeah wasn't ever folding to this guy...

Yes I can bluff also....

So here he bombs the flop he either has it or he doesn't on the turn he checks back so his range is weak leading to the river, 4 flush board I have no showdown value and the only thing I am losing to if he was 4betting for value would be KK(heart) however.... I can have AKh, KKh KQh KJhh, KTh here always... so given this I have range and nut advantage going into the river... Then basically what size could I bet to get him to fold..... (most likely I was putting him on some trash hand like 76s,78s since ppl like to 4bet these type of hands when playing deep and in position... Anyway river bet and it did the trick...

I swear after you hit the BBJ you get doomswitched on GG and just cant flop anything....

This is a session where literally I kept getting 3betted, when I call 3bets I flop nothing, 4bets get jammed on, no bluffs worked and I just bled 4 buyins in the most eff'd setups...

After that session is why I went to NL200 for awhile to reset my BS run good and came back after 2k hands or so, I was still running really badly at NL200 but finally the luck caught up towards the end of the 2k hands....

Anyway I think my luck is back to normal but Fridays are really a nightmare really...

Is this average variance for spots like these? I ask because I run QQ into KK+ (or KK into AA) at least once a night (sometimes 2-3 times) and only play about 700 hands on average. You're saying this only happens to you once every 5900 hands?

I lower my variance alot by reducing the number of all-ins preflop in rush and cash this is why I don't run into these situations more than others. I compared the bigger sample of 600k hands and my new style and my new style will get less coolers....

This reg - was labelled a hero caller.... Okay his line I really didn't believe he had sh*t.... If he had a set on flop he be building the pot, On the turn I lead and overpairs will usually call here because also they afraid of sets.... So when he raises me either he had a FD or just some nonsense.... I called, flush didnt complete and I have decent overpair and top of my bluff catching range.... Again river call was because I just didn't believe his line represented any story or decent holding which I was losing too...

12th March

Very swingy day... At one point I was down $500 (5 buyins) basically from losing every flip and even 80/20s....

AA - Won 4 buyins with this (Dealt 25 times)
KK - Won 1 buyin with this (Dealt 23 times) Ran into AA one time.

Finished the day up 4.5 buyins after being down 5 buyins at one point.... Weekends are wacky...

I decided to finish (fail) this challenge. 8k hands short.

Summary

92k hands
1.94 ev bb (failed should be 3+ evbb)
3.34 bb

Won: $3093
Rakeback and bonuses: $3445
BBJ: $1,844
Total $won: $8,382

The game and aggression is much higher at NL100 than NL50, I noticed a few leaks I had and I also made quite a few mistakes in my game. I'm going to do some more database analysis and plug these leaks at NL50 before I attempt this challenge again. Great learning experience and definitely my play improved.
