Few hands I'm going to post about coming up!

Villain was a 43/0 passive fish. At the time this hand came up, I had been drowned with 3bets and bull**** spots and decided enough was enough! There are definitely some combos I beat here, although betting this spot might be a bit courageous for a lot of people. Decided to pay him off but don't really like it in the end obviously. I figure sets he's probably raising pre (but I don't know that because he's 43/0 so it's meh).



Pretty sure river's a bet/fold? Or is it check/fold? I feel like check folding is gross. Pretty sure it should be x/c and b/f both of which suck ass. I probably would have saved money doing either of those compared to b/c which I did. -_- Dumb spew badness.



Also, I'm assuming this is a b/f otf however villain was kinda aggro as ****. Definitely folding ott though?



Another close spot. Villain is pretty much unknown. I figure he's got sets, two pairs, or ****ing massive draws here at worst. Is b/f here too nitty?



Not sure why I folded otr. Can someone please explain to me why I did this? I think it's because I'm in the spot where I feel like I'm paying off every day of the week. But I could be wrong. Thoughts?



Here every draw in the world got there but I feel like it's definitely a b/f spot because his worse kings will pay again probably and obvs his nut draws are going to raise river and I can fold. Agree? Y/N?

Okay session this morning. The two big showdown pots I lost were coolers (KK v AA and AA v 99).



Good to be back in the green even if it's only like 3bb/100.

KQs hand: why do you pfr/c with that hand from UTG vs MP 3B? His range should be very strong (lets say: TT+, AQs+, AKo). With KQ so many times you'll get no action when you hit or you are forced to x/f otf. And if you hit, there is a huge possibility that he has you beat.

The problem is that you create a situation where you give him a lot of power. 1) he is IP, so he can controll the pot and gets more info about you than you have about him (see example*). 2) his range is stronger than your hand.

*Lets say he has JJ here. You call his 3B and 'hit' a K-high flop. You check (he had the initiative pre) and he bets 1/2pot. If you 1) call, he'll check back turn and re-evaluate river (probably folds because the K is in your range a lot). If you 2) x/r flop, that K is in ur range mostly, so he'll bet-fold a lot with his 2nd pair.

Think about all hands in his range, and think of how it plays vs his 3betting range. I.E. AA would bet-call vs a x/r otf (and has you beat) the same goes for AK. AQs would maybe bet-fold flop and maybe even check back flop and fold turn..

KQs is not a call OOP from UTG vs a 3B imo. Best play would be PRF-fold. His check back ott looks weak so I may x/c river. But mehhh I'd hate it..

GL

Yeah, I called for one of two reasons (don't remember):
A) player was 3betting a stupidly large amount
B) was fed up with the amount of 3bets my UTG opens were getting

Either way, you're completely right. It should be a fold and this is an example of me spewing. Thanks for pointing it out to remind me!

Half decent 2nd and final session for today.



Didn't get much happening towards the end but won some nice pots towards the start. Pretty happy with play in general. Pool was less aggro which was nice. Only 250 people as opposed to 600 this morning.

Spew hand of the day!

Raising so much OTR was probably a mistake, raising at all might have been. But when he shoves he literally always has the nuts unless he's a cheeky lil **** but he like ALWAYS has QJ here. But once I put $2.50 in, and it's only $7 to call to chop and occasionally win, I don't know whether calling or folding is right.



Also not sure about this one vs shorty. Had no idea what to do on the turn. I think checking is best since AA is still in his range. Had to payoff when he jammed for $2.50 more I think. If I check turn and he bets am I calling down or folding? x/c turn seems horrible.

good luck mate

Thanks mate!



When I was up $30 with about 300 hands left, I was thinking about how someone had said they always start their sessions good and end up losing towards the end. Annnnnd it happened to me today. BUT I think I played good ball for the entire session. Have a ****load of hands to look at though!

This hand blows. OTT I'm usually always behind but with 2nd nut flush draw I felt like not betting would be bad. And folding to his raise is also out of the question? Hands I'm beating are AsJx and that's all pretty much. IDK, do you guys x/f turn or b/f turn??? Clueless atm.



Not sure about this one either. Do I need to be raising OTF or is calling down and folding river standard here?



Not sure whether this flop is a 3bet GII or if how I played it was fine.



Thin spot for extra value on the river?

Showing signs of improvement! Previously I'd have equal numbers of winning/losing sessions and often times more losing sessions than winning sessions. Not the case anymore!

Not too much wrong with those hands in that last hands review post. GL

JTs: mayybe fold turn? Donno the math, but if he has an A that he's never gonna fold he might be too far ahead to get payed by implied odds. That being said: will he give you value with a flush card?

^Have to call that turn IP i think.

Yeah, was kinda tricky. I felt as though I was paying for a flush draw that would never come but it's possible being IP I could squeeze a little outta him once it comes.

What about that AJs hand? Raise OTF or call down/fold?

I was thinking last night, I'm due for a heater any time soon. And lo and behold, today it came!



This bad boy brings my win rate over the last 15k hands up to 8.85bb/100. Stoked!

I do have a hand to look at from today's session, however.

Not 100% sure what I should be doing here. I mean, I know I'm behind (unless randomly played flush draws) but in terms of getting the right odds to call, not 100% sure. Pretty sure it's still a fold.



Happy with how things are going. Only going to have time for one session today (slept in like a donkey) and I'm working til midnight. Tomorrow and Sunday I'll only have time for one session as well unfortunately. But hopefully they'll be 2-3 hours in length. We've already hit our minimum of 20 hours for this week and I still have all of the weekend (probably two more sessions).

Played just shy of 2 hours today. Was a long day at work and have the same tomorrow! That means I'm going to have to do the weekly review session on Monday probably or maybe I'll stay up a little later tomorrow night and rush through it. Depends when work finishes tomorrow I guess.

Had a barely green session today. Was real unsure about this hand.



I feel like when he raises me on the flop, he can only have 555 and maaaaybe QQ (but I feel like if you're going to flat pre with QQ, you're just going to call down?). I think his raising range here is waaaaaay more heavily loaded with bluffs and flush draws. However, when he jams on the turn, I put him on complete air or hands like 77-TT maybe. Possible he plays a turned flush slightly slower? How bad is my play in this hand?

Also, is this a good fold OTR? If he doesn't have a 7, I have the nuts essentially (sets fast play). I feel like I'm paying off a 7 every day on this river. Maybe he has some flushes also.



My favourite hand of the day below! Goin' balls deep with the value OTR.

BIGGEST POINTS OF THE WEEK

- PLAYED 27 HOURS THIS WEEK
- BARELY ANY SPEWY POTS WOO
- REVIEWED ALL OUR SESSIONS IMMEDIATELY AFTER AND POSTED HANDS WOO GJ

**** FOR NEXT WEEK

- Uni starts back -EV
- Trying to hit 20+ hours once again
- Looking to keep balling like a baller

****ty start to the week unfortunately losing about 4 buy-ins.



Did not play great at all either. Probably spewiest session of the thread so far. Let us look deeper!

Happy to stack off with SB here but can never put UTG on KK. I feel like I can't fold QQ here either way. Not too upset about this hand.



This hand was blatantly played poorly. Super confused as to turn bet sizing. I really want to bet fold but I feel like if I bet small, his draws get a decent price and if I bet big, I'm priced in to call a shove. Pretty certain it's a bet/fold but the question is, how much?



Felt like the dude had AA every day of the week here. Seen KK played identically on the same board texture a couple of days ago. Only realised this on the turn. I don't think I can fold on the flop but turn is DEFINITELY a fold. And of this I'm sure. Big spew there. Woof.



The only thing I can do now is to be better next time. I'm ready for a down swing if it's going to come. Just need to play better that's all. I want to finish this week UP big time so there is work to be done! Will play 2nd session in a few hours.

Nice call by UTG in hand one. so tilting.

Yeah, IKR. Any thoughts on turn bet sizing in hand 2?

No idea, i always struggle on boards like that. Post it in the main forum maybe.

Yeah, probs should hey. Better afternoon session today.



Could not ****ing believe this hand happened. It's **** like this that makes people think PS is rigged or that people are cheating. 406 hands on villain. He has a 3bet of 3.6. THREE POINT ****ING SIX. What I wanna know is HOW THE **** does he 3bet 64s and FLOP A ****ING FLUSH??? WHAT THE ACTUAL ****. Don't ask why I called... not sure why I called instead of raising. But seriously how sick is that flop. **** this guy, I'm glad I sucked out ott.

Didn't feel like playing today. Stopped my session 100 hands in up $5. A dude with 1400 big blinds decided to shove over my AA with 55 and he donated a double up to me tyvm. I need to stop sleeping in especially when I'm working.

Going to be struggling big time to get this weeks volume with uni starting back if I don't start applying myself. I can either stay up late after work tonight and grind for a couple hours or get up early tomorrow as I should do anyway and play my two sessions before work. I think the latter will be the best option.

Pretty ****ty today, finishing up late (it's almost midnight). Depending on tomorrow's activities, I should be able to play 2-3 sessions. I will force myself to get up early.

20c In the green. Yeew!



I had an interesting hand, but I forgot where I put it.

Nice start to your thread.

Thanks man, yeah it's going well.
