Good luck. I am also in rebuilding mode after ****ing it up. Any advice for confidence?

Same to you. I guess get someone good to sweat you/review your play and reassure you you're playing well. I've seen your graphs and w/o knowing anything about your game I pretty much assume you fold a bit too much. A negative redline is fine at NL10 but yours is just a straight downward line.

there are other factors that can get your redline down

yep. but not over a 100k sample size and not the way his redline looks. hes either not vbetting enough or folding way too much as a generalization

highly suggest both of you read these:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/78...bluffs-747500/
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/78...h-baah-637589/

i was talking about stuff like not barrelling/checkraising enough, trying to get to showdown too much etc

links don't work. but yeah 100%. basically his redline to me suggests that he only relies on cooler action and shows down way too many hands. no disagreement there afaik

hopefully fixed my post.
yes, iirc your redline is b/e?

stopped caring it plummeted for a while but generally b/e or slightly positive probably. people focus on the redline too much imho. i just pointed it out because on his graph the redline goes down sharper than the blue line goes up

What's ur current win rate at all the stakes you had played?
I am getting only about 5BB/100 over 50k hands @ 5nl
At 2NL I ran about 13BB/100

BB = big binds so theres no need to x2

Trying ways to improve my winrate to 10BB/100... it seems like I am folding too much as displayed by my downward redline... while yours is trending a little up or at breakeven

NL2: 19bb/100
NL5: 14bb/100
NL10: 6bb/100

Good luck sir. Nice graphs, keep at it.

10bb/100 is close to the nut possible sustainable w/r at NL10 imho so if you can get there hats off. I doubt there are many people who have >10bb w/r's over a reasonable sample. I strongly suggest you stop caring too much about the redline and focus on just making the right plays. NL10 ain't no gonad-swinging contest. The threads czechvengeance posted are pretty good imo so take a look at those.

Thanks a lot man! Honor to have you in my thread hehe. Gl to you too.



Took advantage of the happy hours this morning and was up about 2 BI but ended up breaking even after some KK<AA etc. Gonna play some more later. Balancing my rungood at NL10 with some runbad at FPP hypers.

in and gl sir

Congrats on the run good/play good...when are you starting 25NL?

thx ledge.

ty good sir. rungood halted today so I need about 6 more BIs for 25NL.

swongz:



from even to -3bi to almost even at the end in <200 hands. Stars didn't like me today at all. KK<AA 3 times including this bad boy:

In for some run good Czech GL to ya sir

Thanks my man. Gl to you as well.

Had a solid day today, almost 7 BIs if I hadn't gotten 2 outered otr vs a shorty at the end. 50% zoom and 50% reg tables:



And this now gives me 30 BIs for NL25. Leggo. Shottaking time probably tomorrow. Wouldn't be a CzechFold post w/o some whining though: can't win a hand in the 235 FPP hypers to save my life no matter how much equity I gii with. Whatevs, guess I don't need RB as long as I'm #winning (hashtag for sharkbaitOHH).

Tanked down to the last second on this one. Something about his timing didn't make sense, otherwise I think this is probably a fold

gorgeous graphs man, keep crushing and gl at 25NL

tyvm. Wanted to post them before they get demolished by NL25.

First day at NL25. Totally sick:



Not. Mix of reg tables and zoom, up exactly 2 cheeseburgers at each. When I was up a BI I said to a friend on skype that this would be the first time I'd win a bit when taking a shot. Obv proceeded to get shat on over the next 15 min. Not a losing session though, so vamooo.

All my bigger pots lost were basically whiffed 3/4bet pots or c/r and turn barrels getting jammed on etc. Got cold 4bet a ton today when I was light as well.

Did not like this turn at all. Prob not the best play in a vacuum but something felt fishy here. Almost folded river too:

I think all 3 options are valid pre. Otr I'm super confused because I think most people aren't checking back fd's or sets ott much. I think otr he could even be value raising AK some % of the time (doubt he ever has KK esp since I'm blocking that). Maybe I'm still too used to NL2-5 where a turn/river raise = nuts every time. Is this a trivial call?

^^ without any reads I'm happy folding at 25nl tbh.

Questions: You 3betting KQo sometimes in the BB v SB? Also, whats your calling range look like in the blinds versus mid position opens?

I obv ended up folding but I think it may be a mistake actually. I beat some value hands he can be doing this with and I assume a vast majority of 25 regs barrel their fd's ott. And if I'm in his spot I'd bluff raise this card very happily as hero is gonna be vbetting his Q's almost always.

I generally don't 3bet KQo bvb. I think people tend to 4bet a lot of their Ax and Kx when they get 3bet bvb. It's def ahead of almost anyone's sb opening range but I wanna play it being IP and all and I can't really justify calling a 4bet vs pretty much any reasonable reg at this limit with this hand. Doesn't really make much sense to me to 3bet it. I also have a fairly polarized 3betting range in the blinds at uNL and I've been told by multiple regs who play way higher that it's the way to go.

I don't have a static flatting range in the blinds (unless I'm playing HUDless). It depends on villain's opening size and who's in the BB. If I'm BB I can flat a fairly wide range vs a 2-3x open (broadways, PP's, some JTs, J9s etc, AJ or maybe AQ depending on who's raising). When there's a squeeze happy player in the BB I tend to not flat too much from the SB. Also I don't like to flat speculative hands (SC's and one-gappers) in the SB because BB will be getting a ridic price and will have to call with a super wide range, making me OOP to 2 players. Don't mind it when I'm set mining though.

KQ is a easy valuebet on the turn.



fold KQo pre, cant imagine it plays all that well against a 19/15 MP range at all

^^ Thanks for the detailed reply, I was just curious
