Ha, ran completely card dead at that table, was 15/8 at some point, lol. But then won a large pot when table broke so did well from that table, though only from regs not from the fish.

Anyway, ended day up $11.3k which is really nice after yesterday. Actually had 5 figure days every day this month, though unfortunately one the wrong way

I have been slowly grinding it back after the -$21k day. Probably not playing my A+ game but been playing well enough. Still scared money at 10k but slowly getting there. Here is the graph so far, will look for a few cool hands too.

Is it standard for u to defend vs SB/BB 3b w/45s (BTN/CO), or did u have a good read on him?

TJhh hand; Do u know why villain didnt cbet on that board with his str8 draw and BDFD ?
Or is he checking OTF because it hit ur 3bet calling range so good?

GL!

It all depends on how wide you open and how wide villain's range is. If you have a postflop edge, then you can defend even wider.

I can only assume that he was planning to c/r flop or c/c flop & CRAI turn/lead river if turn checked through.

89o hand is it not a bit hard to balance when your value range is going to be pretty narrow or does the sheer volume of air in villains range make this a non-issue?

I have a decent value range of sets, 2 pair (T6s) and TPGK. Plus the reason why I overbet turn is because I know I rep somewhat thin so it is a cool levelling spot (well obv not when he has a set).

Seating scripts are really annoying and I wish it was possible to get a seat without either starting a table (difficult to do if you already playing a lot of tables) or using a script (possibly up to 50% of high stakes regs use one at the moment). I have always supported the idea that Stars should ban them and will continue to do so because they are bad for the games for obvious reasons.

Had some really good 10k action earlier on today when a fish sat on 3 tables. Also the line-up was semi-soft (meaning soft for 10k, tough for 1k). Will post all pots where I lost or won more than 25bb in ascending order.

Obviously that KK is a fistpump anyway but it's gotta be extra sweet to see that you have all the money locked up when you get it in at 10k.

Just realised that I had my best day every today @ $19.5k, though funny enough my winrate is the worst of all the top days I had. Also a tiny bit annoyed as was up to $25k but after a couple of hours of play and then just proceeded to lose some of it. Anyway, maybe a good point to update my progress for the year.

Seating scripts are really annoying and I wish it was possible to get a seat without either starting a table (difficult to do if you already playing a lot of tables) or using a script (possibly up to 50% of high stakes regs use one at the moment). I have always supported the idea that Stars should ban them and will continue to do so because they are bad for the games for obvious reasons.

Okay, so how much will you sell it to me for?

You know you guys screwed me right?

I am not a script vendor and in fact did not sell any script to anyone (simply because I cannot as I have no licence to sell, nor did I ever have any). Did not know whether you want/wanted to buy a script and certainly have not interfered with your desires if you had any. So have no clue who the "guys" who screwed you are or what you are trying to achieve with your last 2 posts and tbh I don't care. I know you feel very strongly about seating scripts (and I have even signed your petition against them) but my thread is the wrong place to push your agenda so please refrain from posting about that anymore in here.

If you were truly against it, you could send the software and license key to stars, and ask for them to take steps to make it not work.

er. Sorry for piling on with the derail, I wont post more.
