Hey guys,

Im from Melbourne Australia where we're still lucky enough to have online (for now)
I've had a few failed ones at these before so gonna attempt to keep this one going now I have a lot more to play for and motivation.
Quick background, been playing online on and off few years. Never really moved past NL50. Always played cash.
My last attempts stats on stars:



I'm now currently in a staking stable and grinding again up through the micros and hopefully hit SSNL as that is the goal.
I just moved to stars from euro sites, pulled back a pretty sh*tty start and feel good on the direction I'm going.

I'm also playing live at my casino running up a roll. Playing 1/3 which is structured as $50-$200bi (gross 67bb max) but games are pretty soft.
Im tracking that also on my app and here are my results on that so far:






My goals are simple enough that I want to focus on mostly improving my game and keeping up with what seems a quickly changing game nowadays strat wise. I feel pretty behind being out of the loop for the last year.
And some profit is always nice

Will post numerous hands and updates

Leave a sub and comment if you would like will respond to everyone I can, would love to hear about similar challenges and chat with people.

Good luck!

Threadsavers obv

Only played about 3k hands since the week i been back at stars,
Slowly getting back into it. But trying to open up game a bit and not be such a fkn nit

But here are this past weeks results.


Running pure is nice lol my hem EV is a skewed a bit though, not sure how to fix but i have spots
where I'm getting it in good, and my EV adjusted says I should be losing so I'm not sure what to do with it but its not really a big concern.

Gonna hit bed, Will post some hands tomorrow and then update every day or two with results to keep myself motivated also!

Thanks for reading!

Had a good live session today at Crown casino.
+$750 on 1/3 so almost 4bi which is nice, brings my total profit there to $7031.

Two notable hands were:
One limp, open AT to 16.
Newish asian SB flats, BB shortstack goes all in for 39. Both flat. Limper folds
SB has about 220 in front and I cover.

T77 ($120)
SB donks for 50, i flat.

2 ($220)
SB donks for 50 again, i flat

9 ($320)
SB donks again for 60. again just flat.

Sb shows 98o and i take it down. Donk lead could be any Tx, SD's don't think there's too many 7x hands in range, especially that would donk into a locked pot, so is there any merit to raise any street? Only hand i had worries about was JJ.

Second hand:
1 limp, open KK to 17 in CO, loose BB flats, limper folds.
BB has about 380~ and I cover.

KQT ($38)
BB donks for 25, I raise to 65, BB flats.

2 ($168)
BB donks for 25, I raise to 75, BB flats.
At this stage, I think villains range is mostly pair+SD and probably only KJ/maybe QJ to call turn. TT - think he's 3b QQ pre, KQ/KT/possibly QT, I think by turn with a straight he would of got it in by now unless he has AJ and just slowplaymastering it.

3 ($318)
BB checks, I lead for 120, BB calls.
I show KK and he mucks.

I think I could of bet river maybe more, tried to get a call out of all his range including KJ so I didnt go any bigger. Thoughts?
