I can triple for value and get paid easily, and I can even widen my value range if I'm getting called light. As for tripling as a bluff I'm not even sure where I stand with it. I'll have to check my database one day and see if I'm even BE with my triple barrel bluffs.

Just played this hand about 30 mins ago, like I should fold out villain's hand either on the turn or river.

Think flop cbet is a bit small on this texture tbh. Result highlights why I refuse to bluff ever!

I think a small cbet is fine with K in hand.

Got greedy preflop.


River overbet fail.


Bluff gets through!


Gross spot vs weak reg


Vs same villain, I didn't think this line through, don't really like it.


Bet turn for value.


w/e


I put villain on a strong Q/set.


Soooo annoying.


Reg got me gud.


Sigh


I'mma fish.

Withdrew $1341.35.
$4k withdraws + Current BR ($6.4k)
+$10.4k profits YTD, halfway to $20k goal for the year.

July: +$4.2k at cash, made +$500ish in tourneys, and $1.9k in rakeback due to happy hour promo.

June/July stats

After finishing last month on a mini heater, this has to happen...

Only 6.5 BI's below ev in 350 hands, no big deal.


I'm not the superstitious type, but was really starting to feel like my seat was cursed/rigged.





Wasn't even mad, but after this hand I just couldn't bear to play anymore even tho the table was so gud.

nice month,

gl

Frustrating start for August. Rakeback pro incoming.

Graph of Aug 1-3.

what rb deal you got?

Was only joking about being rb pro. I have SN on stars, so roughly 33% rb.

Had another fabulous session.

obv joking lol. thought SN was a max of 27% now???

Yea, I wrote "roughly" cuz I wasn't 100% sure.



Putting in a lot of volume this week, just trying to grind out of this slump.
Attributing factors just seem to be getting bad runouts, running below ev, getting called light, and spewing here and there as a result.
Having all the 200nl regs come back from where ever they went last month doesn't help much either, though only a few of them are solid. Still, having to battle regfish gets annoying.

Oh sweet. Is this on the ps site? Been looking everywjere for accurate rb %s that are actually in % form. 30% is dope but I think you only get the 30% if you're pushing (old) SNE level.

Gl. Also trying to rostucko this month.

It's from the PSNJ site, so not sure if it's the same for you.

FML the first week of August was tilting. Got amazing volume in this week, mainly due to being stoked from last month's results and the happy hour promo stars had.

Finally in the black after so many swings, made $850 in RB from the volume/promo this week.

Some hands from the past week.

Let's gambol!!!


Trappy trappy vs aggrorec.


Screw slowplayin!


Villain got me gud


Optimistic hero.


Optimistic villain.


Bluffing a station =/= good idea.


Dat thin value...


Ezpz


WDF, srsly.


Huehue huehue


Fake it till ya make it.


Workin that image.




Fish on a heater!


Vs regfish that calls me down light.


Vs good aggro reg.

Withdrew $1k, YTD $5k.

Only played 3.6k hands since last post. Planning on putting in a lot of volume this month since happy hour promo is extended until the 28th. Downloaded Party to check out the 200nl+ games there, but their software is so tilting I don't think I'mma play on that site. Another option is wsop + 888, their software is better but no wheres near PS's. For the time being I'mma stick with PS since their software/rakeback is #1 in NJ.

Hands:

el oh el


Vs whale, not sure if I can go much bigger otr for value.


It's hands like these that make my other hands look like spew.


5b bluff fail.


I don't really care for my turn sizing here since I don't use that sizing with bluffs, so I'm pretty unbalanced here. Probably a spot I may come across once in every 200k hands so I guess it's fine.


dat runout...


I like my line, dunno about river sizing, maybe I could have went a little bigger since I'm polarized here, would have been gross had villain 3b jammed tho.

Do you use a custom skin for Pokerstars? I recently started to put larger volume on stars 12 tabling to complete my deposit bonus but have found the standard table mods distracting. Often, I hear the timer but have trouble finding which table the action is on. Not sure if you have this same issue.


The rakeback is awesome though, I'm getting close to 100% with the Deposit + Happy Hour + Gold Tier. With card match it is definitely > 100%

I just use the mod that PS has available, doesn't distract me at all.


I suck at multi-tasking, but I never timed out while multi-tabling. I played 12-15 tables during April when I was participating in a 100k hand prop bet. I average 9 tables during happy hour.
I don't type in bet sizes, I have 33%, 51%, 75%, 100% pot buttons for the hotkeys and mainly use them, using middle mouse wheel if I want to slightly adjust from there.
Sometimes I hear the timer go off, but after you made an action on your current table the next table that you have to make an action on pops up in front, so shouldn't be much of a problem.

If you have enough of a roll on PS, you should mass multi-table 100-200nl, huge difference in accumulating vpps at those stakes vs 50nl. You could get SN level in one month if you put in decent volume. It's 50k vpps I think? I'm at 18k vpps for 30k hands this month, so definitely achievable w/ the happy hour promo running.

Yea I might keep going Stars for higher stakes after my bonus. The WSOP 200NL lineup isn't the best.

Not sure how much better PS's 200nl is. Ratio of reg/regfish vs rec getting worse compared to last month.

Tango'd with a new reggish looking person yesterday at 200nl, was that you?

Naa, I only have $1.5k or so on PS which is barely enough for half-n-half 50-100nl. I've found that the lineup for 50 and 100nl are mostly the same people.

Don't think we've played a ton, my volume on PS is crap. I'm the guy with the Benedict XVI avatar.

Didn't put in that much volume for 2nd week of August compared to the first week. No spews this week, though there was one hand where I called river which was clearly a mistake, was kinda pissed at myself for calling.

Weekly graph.

I've overshipped turn 100bbish effective 5 times total in the past 150k hands, 3 of those times came from this week alone. Not sure how often I want to be taking this line, but vs the right villains it seems fine. Did 4 of them for value, though 1 of them I was behind in the hand, 1 was a bluff, all 5 times I've taken this line, I've gotten called, I thought it was interesting.

H1: Not the greatest spot to do it, since I don't block any value combos.


H2: Again, not a good spot to do this, A turn is probably 2nd worst turn card behind a Q, followed closely by a K. Villain in this hand is a stationy whale though.


H3: Good spot vs whale.


H4/5: I think the sizings made villains level themselves into a call?




Weird hand vs aggrofish.


Need to be more disciplined and fold river in these spots.


Same with this one, vs triple + river sizing I should just muck my hand.


Is my image really that bad?


...Yes, yes it is.


I hate hit-n-runners which was what villain did immediately after this hand.
