If V x on flop, then might be AX with high connector. I slow played trip aces on flop one time, turn came 6, to make v set of sixes. This site does not award slow play.

You can try 1/3 pot size on turn, to try to induce raise, call, fold. Then, 1/2 pot on river., if V just calls turn. Otherwise, if they don't have a Q or 2 in hand, then you scare them off.

Super late January update



Lame month, had a ton of **** going on. I've got promotional testing for work coming up in early March so volume for February probably won't be much better.

Are there any good micro coaches out there? I'm basically just looking for someone to review a session or two and see if they can spot any massive leaks.

Run good everyone

Your volume is pretty low so might be hard to tell, but anything glaring from your stats?

Like are you losing money from any position other than the blinds?

I'd probably take a look at those hands. Also maybe your PF stats is where I'd start. Most obvious leaks are usually there and then look to the flop.

Awesome man, I'll try to record a 15-20 minute video or something and post it on YouTube

Sure happy to take a look.

I don't know about ignition but 2z-25z pools are quite clueless. What makes or breaks otherwise slightly to medium winning regs is not adjusting to the underbluffing pool and not playing aggressively enough yourself when the weak reg pool checks a weaker than optimal range. This is not the thing that breaks you, it's just the thing that lead to less +EV plays and you lose more stacks than you should and this sets off the tilting. The tilting breaks you.

My checklist for the micros (when playing vs weak regs and fish):
- Turn/river raises are usually nutted
- Missed OOP c-bet ranges usually too weak, even more weak when missed IP.
- There is no unnatural bluffing going on
- Pot bets are nutted almost always, even more so overbets
- You should always BOMB for value vs inelastic ranges, even AQ on A27 if villain cant fold any Ax
- Betsizings are really straight forward, don't be afraid to attack small bets from weaker regs or even fish sometimes

That's a good baseline for making decisions at the micros IMO.

Good luck

Not saying I'm a really good player myself but at least I would like to share some good resources that has helped me to be more comfortable in many spots. This is my reply in Greippi28's thread a few days ago.

You could also consider getting GTO+ or Postflop+ (mobile app) to train different spots.

Thanks brother, I appreciate the info and I will check out that software.

I have literally played under 100 hands this month due to real life stuff, but this was one of them. No explanation for the 3bet size, idk what I was thinking

that rake, so brutal

4bet pre. I'm not even joking. Think about how strong your range looks when you raise UTG then 4bet. Also, you have an Ax blocker which is very useful because it takes away so many of villain's AA/AK combos. And your hand has decent playability even if you do get called.

As played, you should definitely raise flop. You have far more sets and 2pr in your range when you flat the 3bet pre, so you can credibly represent a lot of nutted hands on this flop. It's a great spot to semibluff.

3bet to $7.50 pre. As played, turn is an interesting spot. Flatting is the standard play here, to give villain rope to hang himself with on the river, but I can see some merit in raising turn because it looks pretty FoS.

I don't disagree with any of that. Clicking it back on the turn would have been pretty funny.

Down about 10bi in less than 2k hands to start the month. Feel like I'm playing alright, idk. Only like 30 50nl bi left. Probably donk off another 10 and use the rest of the roll on drugs.

I have no idea what the coaching scene is like in the year of our Lord 2020. If anyone is interested in doing some reasonably priced coaching I could stand to take one last shot at trying to actually learn how to play this game. Hmu

Glad to see another thread from a fellow Ignition grinder.

You playing Zone only or regular tables?

Hey buddy. Mix of 25 and 50 regular and zone


totally normal and cool red line! gd damn I ****ing suck

Dusted off several more buyins today. I've just never gotten gobsmacked like this in so few hands while not "running bad" - ev is fine, wsd fine. I just feel like I have literally no chance to win any time I sit. Roll below 1300. Not really sure what to do tbh.

5 bi in 200 hands today. I am speechless

things that we love to see. looks like its back to 25 for reals
