Week 4 Recap


Greetings,
Fourth week of the blog was filled with high-high and break-even lows. Started the week with biggest winning day ever +499$. Followed it up with few meh days and had work on Friday (much needed because I was getting to lazy and unproductive). Weekend was great. Also big step up for me was trying out 100nl, esp during weekend. Mostly same regs with few exceptions. Also during this week adopted kitten. For next week will have 3 work days and planning to have much lower poker volume and mostly play during weekend. Also during workday morning games have been kinda dead (probably good weather).


Cash: +913,7$
Mtt: -62$ (~15mtt )
RB: +100$
Total: +951,7$

Rakeback:









Biggest Win:







HH1: Vs Fish, OTF was not getting direct odds, but I was pretty confident I would get paid if I hit OTT, still need to do some work on implied odds and reverse implied odds. He tanked for 10 sec and called.




Biggest Loss:







HH2: Vs Unknown, need to work on my HU game, did not need to bluff this hand and could have played this as a value hand. Was playing that day like s*** and left quickly after this hand (getting snapped didn't help).




Biggest Bluff:






HH3: Vs Reg, Turn call seems dubious, but once I get there and imo having almost no SDV happy to blast.




Biggest Bluff-catch:





HH4: Vs Aggro-Reg, his story didn't make sense to me and knowing his tendencies decided to call.




Slow-Play:





HH5: Vs Reg, BB was a fish. Don't like 5B 160bb deep and I think calling is much better (as long as the flop isn't QJT) , vs this flop sizing and not having Ac will just put it in.




Calling Station:





HH6: Vs Fish, Have issue in not being able to fold vs obvious value on flush competing boards when they Donk rivers.




Unluckiest:







HH7: Vs Reg, OTF decided to try and play two street strategy. Unsure as this is not my baseline strategy.




Luckiest:






HH8: Vs 2 Fish, happy to be in this amazing pot. Over-call by trips was extra.




Value-Bluff:





HH9: Vs Unknown-Reg, Somehow had 87% OTT. really unsure about my line as this isn't the most commend spot.





Punt:






HH9: Vs Reg, MP was going all-in every hand with under 20bb stack as he was tilting and everybody knew it. Imo Pure punt.




Weirdest spot ever:





HH10: Vs Whale, I was not expecting him to bluff very often,but I was expecting him to over-value Top pair. BTN being reg did not help. Deep time bank call, turn sizing is what I based my decision on as I felt in game as his betting his hand strength.




Biggest Donation:






HH11: Vs unknown, gave him a little to much respect before this hand as he did have nice stack, still weird spot. In few orbits took his nice stack.



MTT spot:









HH12: 18bb efc, busted 9/17. Late reg ended. 1st place was 1,5k€ package to live event and 2nd Place was 1,1k€ cash. 1mil was starting stack. Was gutted.

Thanks for reading.

Hello, nice blog and have fun with the kitty

I am interested in the Gym Fail. What do you mean by "not feeling well enough"?

I was sick(common cold) from 15.05.-23.05. and didn't go to work. Goal was to go to the gym one time during last week, but as I was feeling not fully recovered, I failed that goal.

Nice results! Keep pushing!

Hope the cat is a lucky charm

I hope too, for now he's messing my already bad sleep.
