7th Jan --> 14th Jan
Poker Study
Exceeded goal this week which is sweet. Lots of focus on on blind vs blind play. Playing 500z pool often plays 3 handed and this spot comes up a TONNE. Feeling way more confident here and next weeks aim is to focus more on bb response bvb.
Meditation
Only meditated twice this week which is pathetically 1 more than last week.. so.. progress? Really enjoyed meditating this week however. It seems that I keep letting the days slip away by sleeping in and it leaves me at 11pm @ night with my dick in my hand not wanting to go to bed to late to **** up the next morning etc etc. Basically bad time management so next week need to work on this.
Mobility
Did a few mobility sessions this week but was heaps sick thurs-sun so died off towards the end of the week. Still can't even body weight squat without my back rounding and falling over smh. Will get there eventually.
Weight
96.2kg --> 95kg. Lost weight this week like I said because I was sick. Could barely reach 2500calories these days and didnt gym at all. Feeling better now so gym volume and diet should be on point.
Poker Earnings
Played roughly 16k hands with net loss of
$-1978.88. Leaving us @
$2,256 heading into week 3 of 2019. Got mauled at 500nl reg tables this week. Had really poor distribution all week so not much to be said here. CRUSHED 200z this week though. After studying so much 200z population stuff my game is feeling insanely comfortable here. Running @
6.18bb/100 last 100k hands.
Week Recap
Sickness caused me to miss volume on some of my lifestyle goals however managed to study well, play adequate poker volume and felt like i played very well despite the run bad.
Some Hands
H1)
Assume this is almost a pure call on turn at equilibrium. My assumption of 500nl pool is that this turn is overbluffed by oop and overfolded vs jam so I think that that this improves this hands EV as a jam over a call. Although both options are completely fine and both wont differ massively in EV. Fwiw unknown reg max time bank called this off lol.
H2)
Really interesting spot. Call pre is marginal in these positions usually favouring heavy 4bet or fold strat with few calls. Flop is pretty standard on first glance. Given villains 1/2 pot size on flop he isn't likely to ever have Jx in range so I think we have a very clear lead for a small size. River changes nothing and i think we have another clear value bet for a small size. As for bluffs looking at some A10s & AKo. So after this hand I tried to pio this spot and the tree was extremely hard to gain anything from as IP should be checking range here with the ranges I inputted. So i tried node locking IP to bet all sets and some other bluff combos and the response was for oop to just over fold like ****ing crazy given how strong IP range is now. So my combo wouldnt even be a float that often which was odd. So was difficult to see turn and river strat to see what im leading and for what sizings. As played i think intuitvely this line makes alot of sense from my end. When I get shoved on river obviously in a disgusting spot as I dont think he jams AA or KK thin for value. That being said im losing to so few combos + thought it would be unlikely top set is getting bet on the flop here. Tough to fold but also tough to see him coming up with enough bluffs given a line his probably not use to facing to often. *Shrugs*
H3)
Nothing special here. Just wanted to show me punishing Brokenstars for being a drunk spaz on stream. Bout time I win a pot against him, guy runs so ****ing pure XD
H4)
Obviously very standard line untill we get 3bet jammed on river. After it checks through flop I think its super unlikely villain has 33, 23, 88 and 44. Usually the former are 100% bets on flop for value and protection. Given these assumptions I think I have to stack off on river. The paradox here is that I dont think he has any bluffs but also doesnt have any value. So maybe he has pocket jokers and I just call the river? sound logic?
H5)
So being roughly 150bb effective threw me off a little bit here postflop. Generally I would be check shoving this combo almost 100% freq on flop at 100bb effective vs a 1/3. However, villain choose a 1/4 sizing (which is fine), leaving my shove to appear massive over his bet. So I end up flatting and jamming turn to deny equity from his range (villain folded AK with Kc). I pio'd the spot afterwards and basically it jams 100% at 100bb effective but still raises this hand on the flop just for a smaller size then jams most turns.
H6)
Preflop and flop are both v stnd. Turn is really interesting. Obviously quite a dynamic turn for both players. I ran multiple sims of this spot with different ranges for me as the OOP player. Basically, our ability to double barrel here depends on how condensed our range is pre. I was also under the assumption that when we bet its generally for a small size looking to 3 street game in these positions in a 4BP. This exact texture was just looking to jam turn to avoid EXACTLY THIS ****ING RIVER
oh well win some lose some
