Lmao mirage, the same can be said about you, the difference being you probably play 1/10th of xenoblade’s stakes.

I'm not sure I act like I'm some crusher, I just approach hand histories from a theoretical standpoint most of all. I don't think I'm god's gift to poker fwiw but I'm doing okay for myself

From xenoblades posts, its quite easy to see he is a very good player that plays this game at a very high level, I dont understand why youre asking for graphs when its clear the guy is a winning player.

didn't xeno final table 1k SCOOP recently for like 200k or something? It's one tournament, but says something that he can play for that kind of money as a reg.

lawl your joking right? There are posters on this forum that can write essays about gto but can't even beat 5z. Graphs are the only thing that counts, and notice he didn't even answer my questions. Looks like we got a pretender here. Maybe you should sign up for some some of his coaching if you really think hes so 'high level'

Don't worry mirage he played hsnl when you were still in diapers.

Yep, im sure he’s doing fine. The only one embarassing himself is once again you mirage.

So he's an old school grinder than can no longer beat the games and moved onto being a pretender. Sounds about right.

quasselinho doesnt beat 200z tbh

Im pretty sure you think that because youre a reasonable person that never tilts and wont do crazy **** vs him, from the HH I saw, theres some regs in the pool that play like whales vs him lol.

quasselinho randomizes based on how tilted he is at the time.

btw, it's great to see so many people showing concern for rapidesh and trying to give him pointers on how to improve. haven't seen this sort of community spirit on here since the good old days

you're funny mirage, you've never even played the games that I play right now in your entire life, can you please calm down with your ego trip, I don't pretend to be as good as LLinus or the other nosebleed regs but I think I'm a good regular in the games that I regularly play in which is mid and high stakes online but not nosebleed

It's so easy to beat that you don't even bother to play it, haha. Is the easy money not worth your time?

mirage has become such an infamous guy in these forums, I rly am beginning to warm to him

well because my hourly is higher playing higher stakes...

how much do you charge for coaching?

So ended up playing a session today, was crazy to get in the 200z streets and do some button clicking lol

Here is how the session went



So ended the month with 48k hands, which is amazing for a part-timer like me, really happy with that volume! Will take a break from playing poker to play some magic with friends and horror games with my brother that is coming to town. Will come back to playing on monday.


Some hands

H1: folded because of time bank, but I was folding anyways, guy was such a nitty player and his $97 sizing OTR looked soooo nutted, pretty sure he just clicked pot and thought "oh, 103 is too big, let's make some marketing action in there" lol. 4th nuts no good in that spot, specially since he will have all his BDFD in there

H3: very weird spot, what should I do here? Villain was a regfish, Q is very good for his range, since it hits KQ, also I block the nut flush draw. I really don't know what I should do here. Betting is bad, check-calling gives him free equity, check-raising at least denies equity from 2-6 outters.

H4: vs nitty reg, do you fold turn or always get stacked in there? Meh, these min-raises are always sets vs me, getting stacked like crazy and I keep just jamming over the min-raises

H5: most GTO hand of the day, imo very wp by villain, his only mistake was the river sizing, which is better as a jam, right? OTT I had to raise his 33% a lot of the time to get value from my overpairs, so JQ was a very good hand to do it as a bluff. Do you guys like it? What about villain's play?

You need to get away from this thinking. Its a reallly big leak in your game, you keep felting turns in spots that are clear call or fold spots, several of those hands above being prime examples.

Just let cards rot off man. Pio does it. Tom Dwan does it. Im sure xeno even calls from time to time. Stop shoving in call down spots to "deny equity" or whatever.

Ok lets see.

H1. Fold pre. Just because you technically have odds to call in equilab doesn't automatically make something a call. The fact you you made your hand and had to fold is a good example. You want to make those calls for the opposite reason.

H2. Good call down imo.


H3. cbet half pot and jam turn. Simple. Betting turn is not bad just because KQ gets there for crying out loud, there is still enough value there with that SPR. Checking turn is terrible unless you enjoy giving free equity, and xc to his sizing is terrible unless you enjoy giving villains perfect odds for their draws. You just got ul vs a sad nit that doesn't even 3bet QQ pre.


H4. Your sizing on such a wet board 3 way is horrific. Giving them both the perfect odds on all their draws, just terrible. Should be only playing 2 streets there. Turn vs a nitty reg is clear fold though. His play is also terrible, and face up, so hes lucky you were in the pot to pay him off.


H5. Pretty sure villains line and sizing is bad vs ur range and with his show down value.

"those turn min raises are always sets"

proceeds to jam over min raise with 1 pair, lol.

Vs people that wont bluff the river, giving them free cards is criminal.
If villain can bluff, sure, but this guy was so nitty that he tanked for 10s before calling the second nuts lol.

Cmon, man, its not like Im a monk with huge discipline, I fold a lot, but in 3-bet pots overpairs shouldnt be folded in theory in that board, specially since villain should be raising some AK there too.

but in practice vs minraises I think its gg, will try to play better in those spots vs fish, I lost probably 4 BI in that spot this month that I cold have done some explo folding.

Ye whatever, you sound like a euro site bum hunter to me. I would be surprised if you could beat 50z with your standard reg strategy to be honest. The tables are full of commoners like you, yet barely any are beating the games.

lolz

I love how mirage acts like he’s **** LlinusLove while he is likely struggling to beat 50z himself

Pretty sure hes mentioned he plays 25z/50z on ignition lol
