Daily Update - Saturday 24/02
Decent day again today. Got into a 4.7kRMB pot with 55 on AJ5A vs AK and the mf spanked the river vs me but whatever.
Having a bunch of issues with H2N at the moment. It's not showing the correct results. Like the above SHOULD show about $600 net profit but is overreading for some reason... I've emailed support about it and I'm hoping they sort it out ASAP. Last session I actually only won like 1.7k and it read as 2.2k. I also seem to be "missing" a hand. Big hand I lost that doesn't appear in "last hands" or Biggest Losses on H2N, I'm guessing it's saved itself as an error hand. Either way, this skews results massively.
I don't want to keep posting inaccurate H2N graphs so I'm hoping they sort their **** ASAP. I definitely don't want to keep paying for this software that doesn't work.
Also last night was my day off. Caught up with my fam and sister's boyfriend who was in town from London - did dinner. The plan was to study some Pio afterwards but I got home at like 9pm and was absolutely exhausted (didn't sleep the previous night) and was falling asleep at the screen - so no study happened.
And then again tonight, didn't quite get the volume I wanted. Played like 5.7 hours instead of 8 hours. This was because a girlie asked if I wanted to go for the drinks at the bar below my apartment. For 95% of people who'd have asked me, I'd have said no. But I can't say no to this girlie. Anyway, did drinks for a bit and then came back and I tried grinding just now but reeeeeallly not feeling it. Prob not smartest move after 6 drinks anyway. So just going to go to bed early.
Sunday being tomorrow and the last day of the week, I want to finish strong. 8 Hours of grinding, gym, sun, and if I'm lucky, I'll try get some Pio stuff done. But if not I'm happy to try do that again next week.
1 Hand of Note,
5/10
UTG opens 3x, MP cold calls, hero overcalls BB with 89ss
Flop 12.7: 6
95
check, utg checks, MP bets 8.4, hero calls, utg folds.
Turn 29.5: 2o
check, MP bets 14.7, hero calls
River 58.9: 5o
check, MP bets 39.2, hero ???
==============================
Also another annoying thing that happened today, I was dragging the bar to cbet around 1/2 pot when Minion stole the focus and snap-went all in because it was trying to buy in to another table at that exact moment. Guy called me with middle set. I bet like 800 into a pot of 80. Super annoying but I guess I'm grateful we weren't insane deep?

You got any tips for someone playing live?
I've been playing 1/2 live and it's such a different game compared to 100z even 50z online
I saw a reg today GII otf vs an unknown /w AA on T97ss in a single raised pot they were both 300bb deep. Everyone was saying it was standard and I was just lost tbh..
How did you adjust to live when you first started playing there?

Weekly Recap - Mon 19/02 - Sun 25/02
So my first week grinding Pokermaster is more or less in the books. A week ago today I set the following goals for myself for this past week...
[X] - 11,250 hands minimum - Killed this goal. I can't quite post a weekly graph because my volume this week has been split across two databases and it's a huge PITA. I think I did more like 13-14k hands. My hands per hour is much higher than I expected. Also stupid how H2N is outputting incorrect results currently. Working with support to have this resolved.
[X] - ONLY playing 2/4/8 or 5/10 non-straddle games (to continue developing population adjustments as cheaply as possible for a little while longer) - Yup, no worries here. Got into Suncity on all my accounts now so I can play a few more good 5/10 games. Having no issues finding 5 games at once.
[ ] - Produce 1 study/review video (hopefully) with a friend who also grinds PM. Basically this will look like me (and him) running through marked hands in the replayer, discussing lines, and PM adjustments - discuss the video with a potential coach, probably won't post that video here but not sure. - Putting this one on hold until my microphone arrives in the mail. Hoping that'll happen some time this week.
[X] - Gym 5x - Smashed it, think I did 6x this week.
[X] - Piosolver 5 flops on my day off and post results here - About to do this now! Will probably spend the rest of the evening mucking around with Pio and getting myself set up with a good Pio routine. Any suggestions on Pio stuff, please send em my way! Kinda overwhelmed with this thing atm.
So it was a successful week all-in-all. I won some money too despite running a good chunk below EV. Here's the graph I have for the most recent few days (since I started a new DB). Will definitely look to post weekly graphs in future that include all the hands!
Again, those numbers aren't entirely accurate. Some hands seem to have slipped through the cracks and then results are just generally a little bit out of whack. I also have to subtract 5% from winning sessions from this as well for rake. But at least the above gives an idea of how I'm running overall WRT EV and whatnot.
In future, I'll post the ACTUAL RMB results and the proper USD conversion with the graphs until H2N sort their **** out and have it doing its job properly.
Since Tuesday I made about 10,000 RMB which is about $2k AUD which is a decent enough start. Below is what I'm going to aim for for the forthcoming week...
[ ] - Maximum 1 day off/socialising... This past week I went out on Friday night and a bit last night which I definitely didn't need to do. I need to learn to say no to people when they hit me up to go out. I'm not yet sure what day I'll have off for the forthcoming week but it will be a max of 1 day only!
[ ] - Minimum 45 hours grinding. Basically, this looks like 8 hours a day, 6 days a week. Obv that's 48 hours so if I get to Sunday evening and have already hit the 45 hour mark, I'll enjoy a half day as I am today. This should look like a little bit more than 13,500 hands.
[ ] - Gym minimum 5x
[ ] - 10 minutes sun minimum every day
[ ] - Minimum 4 hours Pio work - do this either on day off or on Sunday evening, or both.
[ ] - 2/4/8 and 5/10 ONLY for the next week again - I'll likely continue doing this until A) my agent sorts out the whereabouts of a few of my previous transactions and I'm well and truly in the green and B) until H2N sorts itself out. I imagine I'll probbbably start mixing in some 5/10/20 games next week but I'm in no rush. Building a bit more of a sample at 5/10 is always nice.
===============================================
Hopefully we're able to bag another successful week and then look at the transition to 400NL next week. GL to all this week! (PS I'll do a Pio wrapup here shortly).

That said...
Closing Le Thread
I've decided it's in my best interest to discontinue this particular PGC for reasons that may or may not be obvious. I'll still be kicking around on 2+2 a bunch but won't be updating this for the foreseeable future. Hopefully somewhere down the line I can resume this or start another one up you'll all be happy with.
As always, if anyone wants to chat poker, hmu on Skype (info@harveymeale.com), flick us an email, or send us a PM. Always happy to chat and keep in touch with you guys.
Until the next one!
peace
