Looking solid man. How long have you been skating btw?

That's already sick volume

Tyty! For like 20+ years, but I had a period of like 10 years where I didn't skate much at all, this year I went like 20 times already. Also helps some friends started skating this year

Ty I try to get through the variance which doesn't work when I play a couple hundred hands a day

Another good day, was 2 times dollars away from $200 profit but couldn't make it. Did play almost 5k hands so I'm happy about that, also feel very confident about my game at the moment

1) All-in will make him fold A9, K9
2) I call and regret ever playing poker. Or you could be smart and fold.
3) I 3bet to 17 or 18bb following the logic that wizard squeezes to 14 or 15bb when the open is 2.5x. But who knows what's actually correct or if it matters. 99 shouldn't do too much squeezing. Wizard wants utg to fold TT, but I don't think anybody does that. Fold turn and double regret ever playing poker
4) Fold I guess
5) Check turn more often than not. Fold river.

You said NL 16 is soft, so I took a little shot at NL 16 and IMO it's harder than NL 10.

Ty man! Yeah usually I make it like 17bb in hand 3 and I agree 99 should be a call probably. Hand 1 was 130bb deep don't know if I want to turn my sixes into a bluff for 130bb. Rest I all folded yeah

Hahaha yeah definately! Just recently saw a video of Tony Hawk still shredding at age 53 which is insane

Hmmm maybe you picked the wrong time but usually it's really full of spewy players and fish. Another reason is I ran suuuper terrible at 10nl ofcourse, since I've been playing 16nl I get coolered 3 times less as at 10nl and also been put into way less spots eith a good hand vs the nuts. Guess we can't say much about the stakes unless we get a 100k+ sample in both

mass-grinding micro zoom is a great idea btw, maybe in another 10 years you'll be at 25nl

curious who's alt account this may be

lol I have also been skating for about 20 yrs

Played only a little bit yesterday and lost a couple bi, played some mtt's with friends, they gave me 20% for free in 3 $109s but bricked all. Helped one friend win a sattelite to a $1050 on pp though and he gave me 5% for free too! Gonna rail him tonight. Will post a cash graph of today + yesterday later today

I hope so bruh!

Haha same altough idgaf

Cool man! Name your best tricks even if you only land them rarely, also name some you're working on

Me: 360 flip, fakie frontside flip (board flips hardflip way), varial heelfip, late bs shove it, bs 180 late backfoot flip.

Working on fs bigspin, fakie bigspin heelflip, fakie/nollie 360 shove it, crooked grind (rarely land m but always have trouble popping out), smith grind and hardflip

Haha nice man, I don't really know what my best tricks are hey. Several years ago I did switch heel and switch flip down 8 stairs, still pretty hyped on that. On flat ground I guess like the most technical **** I can land is a nollie backside 360 heelflip? Not something I'd usually try though. Have always wished I was good at front tails, seems like one of the most fun tricks but I've always sucked at them. More into surfing (which I suck at) these days cos I'm like 30, but they're building a dope skatepark near my house so I'll be down there working on front tails at some stage I guess.

Nice job on the super high frequency thread updates, keep grinding bro (yeah it's a pun )

Damn insane man! I can't do switch/nollie stuff at all, definately need to work on that stuff. Nollie bs 360 heel w t f
I'll try some fs tails the next time too! Never do m and I remember the few times I tried I fell backwards so never did m again haha. I'd like to surf too but don't let age discourage you, check out Chris Pulman he's still shredding streets/parks at atge 46, I'm also 32 btw.

I was thinking about making less updates to this thread but if people like it I'll keep updating ofcourse!

How did you jump to 109s suddenly? More hope for older skaters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfR4vlxoFBo

My friends buy me in and give me 20% for free! And yeah skating can still be done in your 40s and 50s

Yesterday + today:



Had one hand where I kinda knew he very likely had AA (3b 4 times in 505 hands when I checked) so I coldcalled the 3bet which I never do, was with a friend and just wanted to see if my read was right, did try to pick up the pot otr but could've also checked and maybe see him check behind, whatever just funny. Maybe if I was playing alone I would've folded the flop and keep it to myself

Hey, gl man!

keep it up

Nice to see you already moved up to 16NL. How is it going?

I'm not really sure about the KK hand.

500 hands in not really enough to draw a conclusion. I played sessions of 600-700 hands, in which my stats were 16/13 3bet 4-5, because I was card dead and when I had something no one opened before me.

Even the biggest nit can sometimes 3bet AK and JJ/QQ and besides, the initial raiser could call the 3bet as well, given the odds.

I would've 4bet (used a smaller size) and maybe fold to his shove.

Ty man you too!

Hey el boss! Can't complain as I'm running like 9-10bb/100 both in $ and in ev so far at 16nl. Will probably move up to 25nl in about 25-30k hands but maybe later as regs are starting to get annoyed by me the last couple days. Had a nitreg 4b shove 66 utg vs sb, bad reg 3b/5b shove AJo bvb and 3b/5b shove 88 cu vs mp

I mistyped the stats, he 3b 4/505 opportunities instead of hands, also saw him flat AKo before

At the rate OP is going since the start of the thread he'll be at high stakes by the end of the year. Good luck Thommehh!

Breakevenish day so far but ran KK into AA 3 times already so it's alright, managed to save about 65bb in one hand though because I called the 4b pre. Will be playing the $55 Warmup SE and some turbo's and sattelites.

Couple hands from today so far:

Ty man! I'll sign for midstakes for now

1) I would shove river. That's what I would do with a bluff too. What other hands are you betting half pot? I would fold to his raise.
2) Call. What else can we do?
3) Should we ever raise the flop? I call his reraise and hope he doesn't barrel.
4) Fold. Threeway 88 is just no good. Utg probably has 99-JJ, AA.
