There were only 2 hands in my last post that I mentioned having solid regs in them, first was vs the reg that bluffed w/ AJcc. I'm not gonna get into how I play my ranges vs them, but I thought it was pretty bad seeing how they block some combos of draws I have that play that way. I don't think they have enough fold equity when I check twice + call a turn bet, to make a river bluff profitable. They also have some sd value vs any straight draws/flush draws I may have there.

2nd one isn't really worth noting too much. It was a multiway pot and main villain to get to fold was the spewmonster. Imo I think the bluff there is far more profitable compared to if the reg was a rec. Having a solid reg in there suggests they are able to read ranges/hands fairly well. They pretty much cap themselves when they x twice especially with whale/spew monster in the pot. That coupled with the fact that I am rarely bluffing in that exact spot forces them to overfold. If that reg were a rec in that hand I'm not even sure I'd ever bluff there since a rec is gonna call me with a high pp some of the times.

I'm always results oriented as you can see in my last post where I said my 65s hand was played well cuz I won. I don't really post discussion worthy hands cuz A: My thread isn't popular so I don't get a lot of feedback, and B: I don't really want to post too much strat since the PSNJ player pool is small and I dunno how many/if any of the solid regs check this thread.

BTW my definition of a solid reg is someone that is slightly worse to slightly better than me that I don't expect to profit from.

Am I in the solid reg category?

jk,I'd rate myself as a ****ty reg given how badly I am getting wrecked recently. I liked his decision to bluff with dynamic, but it'd has to be with a much bigger sizing. Jamming is likely the best play given your capped range.

On WSOP I had you marked as solid. I don't really see you on P*.

I'm not sure what range you guys put me on that I'm playing this way, but I'm not really capped here. Is going to be somewhat difficult to precisely analyze this hand for me since I used mixed frequencies and since I do them in my head and not with a rng, the frequencies aren't exact either.

My read on villain is going to have an effect on my preflop ranges, and post flop frequencies. Not going into detail about villain's stats, but they are a lag so their CO range is wider than some. They defend vs 3bs as much as I do, so they aren't overfolding to them. Post flop they cbet and barrel more than I do, in this particular hand it doesn't really have relevance other than the fact I'm to expect another bet on river more often than not when I call turns.

To start, my 3betting range in that particular spot. I have a lot of hands with this villain, but we don't butt heads together that often. I really don't want to butt heads vs the other good regs if I can help it, especially since there are so few at 100nl, I just don't think it's necessary. So that being said, I'm not going to 3b them with some hands like I do with others, like A8s/Q9s for example. My range is going to be pretty linear vs them regardless of positions, but being oop postflop here, I'm going to be tighter than normal. Besides that, my other adjustment is I'm going to be x/c'ing and x/r'ing at higher frequencies since they are aggressive post.

AK/AQ/AA/KK/QQ/JJ I'm mostly going to 3b here. Will be flatting more often than normal with these though, approx around 33% of the time. So this is just an example, will break it down further into combos that are 3betting. Just gonna list the combos that I would play this way, not gonna input anything for folds, x/r, or x/c - bet etc. Also lowering combos when board blockers appear and have already used AJcc blockers. Could be more elaborate, but not gonna get into %'s, will just put 1 combo as minimum:

Preflop 3b range:
AA: 2 combos. KK-QQ: 4 combos each. JJ: 2 combos. TT: 3 combos.
99-77: 4 combos each. 66-22: 1 combo each.
AQ+: 9 combos each. AJ: 6 combos, ATs: 2 combos. KQs: 3 combos
KQo: 9 combos. KTs/QTs: 2 combos each. KJs/QJs/JTs 1 combo each.
T9s/98s/87s/A5-2s 1 combo each.

Flop x: AA: 2 combos, KK: 2 combos, QQ: 1 combos, TT: 2 combos, 88: 2 combos, 44-22 1 combo each, AK/AQ: 6 combos each, AJ: 4 combos, ATs: 1 combo, KQo: 4 combos, QTs: 1 combo, JTs: 1 combo, T9s/98s/87s/A5s/A2s: 1 combo each.

Turn x/c: AA: 2 combos, KK: 1 combos, QQ: 1 combos, TT: 1 combos, 88: 1 combos, 22: 1 combo, AK: 1 combos, AQ: 4 combos, AJ: 2 combos, ATs: 1 combo, KQo: 3 combos, QTs: 1 combo, JTs: 1 combo, T9s/98s/A2s: 1 combo each.

River x/c or x/r (just not folding): AA: 2 combo, KK: 1 combo, QQ: 1 combo, TT: 1 combo, 88: 1 combo, 22: 1 combo, AQ: 3 combos, AJ: 1 combo, ATs: 1 combo, KQo: 3 combos, QTs: 1 combo, JTs: 1 combo.
Total: 17 combos
River x/f: AK: 1 combo, AJ: 1 combo, T9s/98s/A2s: 1 combo each.
Total: 5 combos

I agree that a river jam by villain will get me to fold more of my range. Given that I expect villain to bet river a majority of the time when they bet turn, and the fact that their opening/defend vs 3b ranges are similar to mine, 17 combos to x/c or x/r rivers for value/bluff and 5 combos that I fold is what I roughly come up with. So as played it's not a profitable bluff for villain, not sure if it would be had they shipped river.

Ah makes sense. I had you checking a much weaker range when checked twice, with maybe 2 combo of 2p and 3 combo of TT and a bunch of Tx Qx.

Regarding the AQ hand I actually think C/R turn is a bit more +EV but fine as you played it. Don't hate villains decision to bluff, though they do block some of your folding range, they're sizing is just bad as fast stated

I'd x/r turns vs you since we have that dynamic, but vs this villain I'm not too sure how wide they'd be willing to call. Turn does bring in a few draws so I wouldn't mind x/r'ing in that spot. Do note that some of my x flop combos turn into either bet turn or x/r turn when I constructed my range there.

Withdrew $1k, YTD $9k.
Got a bigger monitor, was trying to mess with dual screens while playing a session which resulted with me just clicking buttons as I was trying to figure out how to get all the tables tiled on the bigger monitor. Finally figured it out, started another sess, spewed a bit during that session too, tho running into the nutz every hand didn't help either. YTD profits around $13k, with 2 months remaining, reaching $20k doesn't look good unless I get more volume in. Already got 50k hands in this month, might just coast till November.

What a $hitty month. $1400 below EV and kept running into the fackin nutz.


Not gonna post lotta hands, this one sums up my month:

First session of the month, graph speaks for itself.


With the way I've been running lately, I'm surprised that villain didn't have a straight flush draw that binks river.

Mid-month update.


Haven't gotten in as much volume as I'd like this month (only 17k hands so far).
Overall feel like I haven't been playing my best this month. I'm not thinking through spots enough, though I haven't been spewing. Haven't been doing well in aipf lately, not sure if that's due to variance or if players are tightening up their 4b+ ranges.

Would have ragequit poker for this month had I not dug myself out of a hole during my last session. At one point I was down $500 playing 50nl-100nl.

Feel like an upswing coming, skype me soon and we'll go over hands

I don't remember what running above ev feels like.

Nov graph:


Didn't get any volume after last post, just been busy lately. Not sure how much volume I'll be getting in Dec if any.

Withdrew $400, YTD $9.4k. Will be depositing $30 each week in Dec. for a promo.

Not a lot of volume in Dec as expected, less than 10k hands so far.
Withdrew $220, YTD 9.5k

Despite having god mode turned on, was only up $175 last session.

Withdrew $500, YTD $10k.
Won't be hitting the $20k year profit goal.

Need muh hands to hold!

Running good is an essential skill for a poker player. Im willing to coach you in on how to run above EV for $350/hr.

*Disclaimer: Results not guaranteed

I was about to buy 5 hrs worth until I saw your disclaimer.

Withdrew $1k, YTD $11k.

Haven't posted bluffs in awhile so here's some from this month:

























Bluff fail!

Stop playing 50 NL you fish.

Bluff with QJs is v nice on blank run outs since you block a big portion of his calling range

Can't stop playing 50nl when I run this gud:

11 hour session 9 tabling, that is impressive

I've been 12 tabling ever since I bought a bigger monitor. Half that session was 4-6 tabling since it was in the wee hours of the morning.
Was playing 12 tables for most of today's session, getting about 1k hands/hr. I'm still considering buying a few hours from you to teach me how to run above ev.


Has to be the weirdest bluff catching call I've seen in awhile... maybe it makes sense to someone else.

you might want to reduce bluffing frequency because from HHs it seems you are massively overbluffing, best of luck for 2017

THIS

lol thanks for advice and the luck, I will concede that I might bluff a little too much at times, but I don't think I'm going overboard.

Almost 300bb deep in this hand. Have about 20k hands with villain, they are a laggy reg.
From the button they are 50% RFI, Fv3b 50%, 4b 12%. Since we are almost 300bb deep, I expect them to be flatting my 3b more than normal.

They can have worse flushes that play this way, like QTss, T8ss, 68ss, 54ss, 43ss that we beat, they might shove river with TT/77 that we beat too. A lot of the smaller Asxs like As4s I think they flat turns most of the time, but I can see them raise those once in awhile. ATss is the only ace w/fd I think that would raise turns 100% of the time. Having the K and J of spades in hand reduces the combos of bluffs they could have on turn, like KsQh. With that said, are we too high up in our range to ever fold river for almost 200bb?
