@Menace - you've convinced me! I'm totally making the jump to Bodog/Bov

@Pita - LOLOL

And check this highlight clip from my Poker Tips twitch stream ... featuring my new PSYCHADELIC DRAGON HAIR!

How do you play this? Check or bet flop?
Once we bet, do you continue as a bluff on turn?
Villain is a good, aggressive reg.

Bovada such a horrible idea with zero rb

GL Mike, I'll be following.

Thanks Rogbey!

Here's one from yesterday. Villain is a maniac. He's running at 83/52 over 27 hands.
Postflop aggression is 94% with a sample size of 16.

Also his postlop actions were quick fwiw.

I really tanked on this one. What do you think on turn? And is it a snap decision for you or close?

id say dont reraise with the A10....as played, once u reraise and he calls, then fires on that flop, youre likely no good

Good luck Mike!

Snap-call for me vs. this guy. When 3-betting, I'm just looking to hit a middle or top pair with that hand and then go with it, esp for 80 BB's.

I would not fold that hand versus that guy. There is a fd on the flop and he could just be spazzing out. I would semi happy get it in.

@ Nocturnal_Joker - I'm sure I'm ahead of his calling range vs my 3bet. I like isolating.

@Verneer - Thanks! Honoured to have you listening.

@Verneer & @ursusmm - I suppose you're right. Still not a snap call for me, it so clearly felt like 2 pair given the Ace on board is part of the flush draw. But I do think it's a call in hindsight given everything he can have.

subbed, interested in how this turns out. I always support new cashgame streamers on twitch that do micro to lowstakes challenges, it is good for the game!

Thanks! And yep - remember you from the chat room today.
I appreciate the support. It does seem like there's a bit more tourney content, so happy to hold up more of the Cash side.

Here's a hand that a couple viewers questioned in the twitch stream. They seemed nervous about betting the turn because they didn't know what they'd do if raised.

I still like my bet and would just call if raised. Villain was pretty tight and doesn't have many tens. Also, I expect to stack KQ often enough when he calls, and I jam the river.

T is clearly a better card for his range so I think you should be checking a lot of ur range OTT. I think u still want to be valuebetting and bluffing some hands so AK seems like a fine bet to me however I would mostly check it unless I have certain reads. I have been taking a look at some GTORB models and they seem to support this.

We have a very powerful blocker with the A that in my opinion should be considered on this type of texture in order to maximize our value. Our hand is clearly strong enough for two streets of value, even with the T turn that for sure is not the best card, but blankish enough in order to not change things a ton range vs range. If we were ahead on the flop there is only a tiny amount of T combos that will now crush us, while we still have value and protection requirements vs the rest of the flop calling range. I am also a clear advocate of betting the turn and checking most rivers with the intention to call most cards, in terms of calling a raise on the turn I am on the fence due to most villains on micros not able to turn draw equity into a semi-bluff often enough for us to be comfortable on the river facing another bet after calling the raise putting us in lala-land and maybe underfolding against most straightforward players.
Betting the T turn makes things very clear cut and easy for us on the river. So imo nh.

Why did you Check the river?

Any more updates in the last few days?

I checked because there's more value in him bluffing then calling with worse.

Going to stream in 10 - 15 minutes!

I've made the move to Bodog/Bovada!

Had a great stream last night too. One interesting hand came up where a shorty fish called. SPR = 2 and I discussed the merits of: 1) jam, 2) bet/call and 3) check/jam. I'm still working on getting indicator and a converter working.

Anyone know if I didn't have a converter running, does that mean I can't access those hands I played?

Also - aiming for a 3 hour stream this afternoon starting at 1pm PT / 4pm ET / 9pm CET.

SOOOOOPER fun today in the stream and playing on Bodog/Bovada. I'm enjoying it more and more. Was splashing around in the 50NL zone games today and was able to bring the delay down to 20 seconds since it's anonymous.


Even ran it for over 4 hours!

It doesn't matter if you have the HH converter running or not. After 24 hours, you log into Bovada and request the HH downloads. You then run the converter and import them into HM2.

what is your Bankroll at now for the challenge? just curious, because im trying to do the same, go from micros to 10k+.

$384.29

nice, this is a very interesting thread. I came on here and was looking for this exact type of post to get me motivated to build a huge bankroll from almost nothing. Keep it up, I'll be following.

Thanks Marcus! Have you been watching on twitch? If so, tell me your screen name there.

Sheesh - I was running the sun today with just the occasional face-plant. At this rate it shouldn't take long at all... Next session'll be a marathon one on Saturday.
