3) clean room
It took me a lot more time than i thought but i have a better understand how to play a more polarized game. I saw you can apply the btn against bb principles in other spots. I was working non stop on the boards but i finished them. My plan is breaking down every situation in 4 sub situations A high, Dry, Semi Connected, Heavy Connected for 2 tone and rainbow. I will do 3-5 boards in each situation. First all flops then proceed to turns
Each situation is focussed in these subcategories
1) tight vs tight (gto)
2) tight vs swide
3) wide vs wide (gto)
4) wide vs swide
Example studying SRP ip as PFR, we take the following positions
1) 18% vs 15%
2) 18% vs 60%
3) 50% vs 30%
4) 50% vs 60%
Understanding how to ranges is of a bigger importance than learning fixed positions generated from a solver. The swide represent fish while the gto (even far from true ranges) will be good enough to play against. In reality if i take 5 boards, i have to study
5 boards * 2 colors * 4 subcategories * 4 range interactions = 160 situations
On top of that i have to study preflop which i find a lot more difficult than flop interactions. I might reduce to 3 boards or even 2 and add more the more advance i become. On top of that, we have paired and monotones. Lets try to break down the game
1) SRP ip PFR
2) SRP oop PFR
3) SRP ip DEFENDER
4) SRP oop DEFENDER
5) 3bet ip PFR
6) 3bet oop PFR
7) 3bet ip DEFENDER
8) 3bet oop DEFENDER
9) 4bet ip PFR
10) 4bet oop PFR
11) 4bet ip DEFENDER
12) 4bet oop DEFENDER
13) MW oop PFR
14) MW ip PFR
15) MW oop DEFENDER
16) MW ip DEFENDER
17) BvB SB srp
18) BvB BB srp
19) BVB SB 3bet
20) BVB BB 3bet
These should be studied for 50,100,150,200 eff stacks for 2tone,rainbow,paired,mono for Ax, dry, connected, semi connected
stack sizes 4
range interactions 4
postflop situations 20
boards texture 4
connectivity categories 4
depending how many boards i am going to study we have
boards 2 --> total situations 10240
boards 3--> total situations 15360
boards 4--> total situations 20480
boards 5--> total situations 25600
In times like these when i actually get the numbers down, it seems an impossible task and wondering if leaving nl is the right choice. I am a social human and i have a life outside poker but this is my choice and i have to live with it. I think the sweet spot is propably 2-3 boards. Most likely 3 on A high, 2 on Dry, 2 on Connected, 2 on Heavy Connected. On top of that i have to study preflop which i find difficult to say at least and put in the grinding hours
What i am hoping for?
1) competition to be weak especially at plo100-200 and be a winner for at least 2-3bb in order to survive. I have saved some living expenses but i cant accept the ''i will be losing mentality''
2) become fairly strong after study 4 main categories (srp pfr, srp defender, 3bet pfr, 3bet defender)
3) i really hope some categories are easier to study, example 3bet pots have a lot of range betting and not as draining mentally as srps where we are a lot more polarized
I will use plo trainer, plo range explorer and monkersolver to run my own sims when we have wide vs wide range interaction. I will use the same sizes as plo trainer for simplicity. When i become more advanced i will test the sizes since i believe the will be more potting when we have a super tight range against a super wide than the default 75% but
a) I dont have time to do everything now
b) flop sizing is not that important unless you pick something ******ed like 20% when you should bet big
c) I am not trying to reach perfection in a new game but understand the basics and move up where they respect my raises ( ha ha)
I will grind mainly in apps for the next few months in order to give myself a bigger opportunity to survive. I might mix main sites here and there but you know...apps
