Too bad there is no bad beat jackpot

Thanks man, good to see you doing well. See you at 50nl soon

i know right

Had to really work for it today, started off getting coolered a bunch. Heading out for a birthday hence less hands. A wins a win

Still adjusting to the regs at 50nl, I found quite a big difference in terms of aggression compared to 25nl.

2h study, 3.5h poker



vs aggro rec



vs nit, had a decent read he wasnt bet folding flop with that size



vs reg



glgl

Played A game today, 3h grind and 4h working on my game. Had RIT on and nearly all my 80/20s chopped with lower pairs today. There's a few things which I am trying to get my head around in relation to river spots hence more study.



heres my month too, something like 14 days since I started on PS.



vs reg, 88 in ep, really



vs fish, something felt a little off here hence river c/c. I know he can have plenty of worse two pair combos.



decided against bluffing the mega whale

Subbed! GLGL

How many tables do you play? Your hand/hour ratio seems really low, so i am guessing 4 reg tables? That winrate is sick though, keep crushing!

Thanks bros, I play 3-5 tables max and try to implement what im studying. Thats why my hands are quite low.

2nd hand I like b/f river way more. He prob wont bet KJ, KQ, AQ OTR but can call bet. And flop I would bet bigger because of board texture.
Thats just my opinion.

I think bet fold is also good!

Today is quite interesting so far

Got off to a nice start today then caught some pretty sick variance. Played A game though nothing I can do. 3.5h grind and 3h study.



This hand kicked off the run bad



whale again



trying to induce flop stack off vs whale again



again meh



ownage

Done for today, 3.5hours and 2hours of study. Played really well ran quite a bit below ev again. 13bb so far at 50nl, I know I just moved up but I will take a 5-10 buy in shot at 100nl when I reach $2.5k






few of these



dream spot

Put in four hours today and 30min warmup in the morning. Played B- game at best couldn't find the fold button in some questionable spots. Also lost every single pot vs the whales, they just kept getting there.



cold call pf hoping fish sticks some money in



vs 50 1 0 decided to take a more passive line vs those stats

Thought id make a slightly longer post today since its usually only a brief daily poker update.

First lets get the poker for the day out of the way. Decided to take a day off since I am quite over trained from the gym combined with not really taking a day off for a while I am a little fatigued mentally. Fail, saw some juicy games and jumped in for an hour. Also put in three hours of simplifying my strategy even more.



Sick cooler



My overall 50nl since moving up - 1,330 minutes so far. Honestly assessing my game I think I have definitely a 3-4bb more in there. There have been a couple of sub-optimally played sessions where I was fully self aware of my poor decision making process and taken a little too long to quit the session. I am working on this. I really hope I can start taking 100nl shots by 30k hands of 50nl.



Away from poker I have been on the Godfather 1,2 & 3 grind. Really enjoy the classic gangster films. Got Goodfellas and Casino lined up next. Have also been doing a fair bit of reading. Past few months iv finished the Alchemist, a Man's Search for Meaning (highly recommend it) and a property investment book by Oliver Newland.

I am also a class car enthusiast, and I do think they offer much better returns than property in a mid-long term perspective. Although its more of a niche investment/collector market I find it really interesting. It has been a family business for a long time and iv been helping out over the past 5 years and therefore learned the ins and outs of the industry.

Some car savers for a change

couldnt resist



gl this week all

you might have already answered that, but how do you study exactly? Do you use PIO, CREV or something to build your strategies? Also do you use/have used training site such as RIO or upswing? gl keep crushing

Meant to type classic* not class

I dont really use any of the above. In terms of simple strategy development I am looking at it from a macro perspective, as a multi street betting game where I need to have a clean thought process and plan of action for all streets. I am trying to approach the game from a more exploitative framework. I was stuck for quite a while using things like fzilla and analyzing hands with no real productivity.

Nice, but just to be clear, solvers are the best exploit tool available. Many people think it "teaches" GTO strategy, but if you node lock you actually get the biggest ev lines vs the tendencies of the players you are playing agaisnt

A decent amount of my off the tables work is around Nicks suggestions. I will probably look in depth at PIO stuff when I move up to SSNL and go from there. Are you using PIO for this?

I don't own PIO yet, but I plan on getting it in the future. I have been watching nick's videos too, and they are really helpfull, especially considering how much free content is available.

Haha yeah they are really helpful, good to see someone else using them too


Worst day since I started my challenge, got absolutely shat on today. Played B- game as well. I feel I should have quit much earlier, both blue and red line straight down.




vs someone whos not folding anything lol, sigh



another non folding player



vs another whale, might be pushing it too thin here



vs reg



Back at it tomorrow, glgl

Damn dude, feel bad for these horrible days just hang in thight and playing your best

H1: sick cooler.

H2: before seeing the results I was much more inclined to call the turn 3bet (even versus a fish I think call>4bet), but seeing what he is capable of can see why you decide to jam.

H3: I think you forced agression pretty hard in this spot, as nick likes to say. I mean, raising getting it in otf is def profitable, but I would go for the call, eventhough we are OOP. Although we have a pretty strong hand here, it is not a slam dunk getting it in on the flop, unless he jams AK or something. Think playing this hand slowlier is best, even vs a fish.

H4: No way this guy is a reg wtf. Vs a normal player I might find the fold here, though this an incredibly weird spot.

Better luck in your next sessions!

For H3 totally agree with the FA, just a weird turn spot after he calls flop raise. Think call is better too.

H4 is reg lol, i actually tanked there wondering wtf but i had a volatility note so whatever

Thanks for looking over the hands!

Really got my **** together today after reviewing yesterdays poorly played sessions. Going to take the rest of the day off and study.

2h grind



river <3



glgl

Great job recovering from that terrible session!
Only thing I have to say about this hand is: LOL

haha thanks man

Played my A game today and felt good at the tables.

just under 4h grind 2h study



vs huge whale, think i have a river call given texture



cooler



reg



glgl

Gl man, subbed. How do you find the reg tables vs zoom, if you have tried zoom? I'm a bit put off because every table seems to have like 5 eastern euro grinders in the waiting list lol.

I am probably one of those Euro grinders haha, iv barely played any zoom maybe some 2nlz few months ago but I dont enjoy it. I enjoy the dynamics of reg tables.
