Was so close to clicking the call button but couldn't, know that fish definately can play the supernuts this way so like 22 or 77, really really doubt a fish check jams a bluff otr here

Yeah I don't mind a fold at all. I often change my mind about these things.

Makes sense to fold, but can i ask why the 25bb bet? for me that's an invite to problems and not really many good outcomes could come from it.

2 breakevenish days, today had almost only terrible board runouts so my redline looks like total dogshit. Hit 50k+ hands at 16nl so I'll start at 25nl tomorrow. Last 30k hands at 16nl were almost breakeven so my winrate is meh, I'll gladly take that 50-100 bi heater at 25nl though

Last 2 days:



16nl total:



16nl total with rakeback in $:




Was targeting a 7x or maybe 88 and thought those hands would find a call against that sizing

Ahh ok, if you had those hands in mind i understand your trouble and trigger finger must have been shaking hahahaha lets just say he had a2 for ease of mind

Well done man! GL at 25NL!

I don't miss a second of sleep because of it but guess he had 22, 77 or like A2 yeah

Ty man!

He probably had a deuce and not a boat is my guess. If he had a busted flush draw he's probably not going to check-raise the river, he'd just bet it. There aren't really any value hands you have beat here and he doesn't have many bluffs here either. He's checking to induce a bluff from you from missed hearts or maybe a value bet with an overpair. Ace deuce it is, good fold.

5.5 bb/100 is still a really good result. Only a handful of people achieve that. After losing some money by calling too much I also now think JJ is a pure fold on the river.

Had my first day at 25nl which ended up breakevenish a bit above ev, got KK vs AA once, KK vs KK twice, ran pretty bad at the end where every 4b bluff got shoved on and every 3b bluff got 4b and missing every flop. Will probably get like $27 from the daily leaderboards tho so that's nice. Will be playing 300 hands of 5nl, 10nl and 16nl every day for the leaderboards, at the end of the leaderboards I'll post the graphs for those stakes aswell and a total of the leaderboards profits

Day at 25nl:




Guess so, would suck tho if it's a fish overvaluing 2 pair like 79

It's hard to know your real winrate without playing like 500k+ hands at a single stake imo, at 5nl and 10nl I lost a bunch but also the last 30k hands at 16nl were almost breakeven. But anyways the most important thing is improving and I definately keep improving every single day

Pretty tilted atm, can win some decent pots at showdown but get raised/checkjammed/5bjammed so often it's insane. Guess I'll give up trying to improve the redline because I can't do **** about this bs

Day started off where I quit yesterday and went 4.5 bi straight down but at the end I started running very well again. Nana went through like 55k hands of me and gave me some tips to play oop in srp/3b pots. We also discussed some 4bet pot strategies for both preflop and postflop. Feeling my game is getting really good now, still need to study preflop ranges more though, have been slacking quite a bit in that.



Total money received from the daily leaderboards: $31

Yeah you can't have positive redline every session. If you force it, you will definitely lose money.

Nah i'm not forcing anything just trying to improve

Day started good but that unfortunately ended at the end



Some hands:

Against a nit and a fish (nit minraises), really wanted to fold but guess we just can't? Since he could sometimes do this with A5 but not sure if he would call that pre... Also should've called instead of a jam

For H1, both MP and CO seems to be fish. This line is super strong, I can find folds and put them on 55 and 99 exactly. In position raise is super strong, especially vs two fish.

Yeah, the nit fish was playing like 13/9 so I tagged him as a nit but it's just a nitty fish hehe. Do you put the fish on a set if he only flats my cbet? Next time I might fold or at least not shove thought on the other hands? Cheers!

h1. There's only one combo of A5s left. If you thought they might have that, then just fold. 1 combo of 99 and 3 combos of 55 are left, so 4:1. It's also multiway.
h2) I fold scared of a flush
h3) I would bet river. He might call with a J. Maybe fold more than call his bet.

H1 yeah thinking about it this way it really looks like a fold
H2 for sure, maybe turn is a fold already but don't know if I can make that fold
H3 I was thinking all the draws missed so I'd bluffcatch this hand but in general people and I guess fish especially underbluff especially for this sizing but I"m stupid and called, he had 97o hehe, guess betting small and folding to a raise is the play but still don't hate bluffcatching

Really low volume last 2 days, went for drinks yesterday and didn't play much today, also playing 900+ hands a day at 5/10/16nl for the leaderboards. Ran into aces twice preflop and also once postflop but I made a probably pretty bad river bluff against KidCudi Will post the hand below, think it's bad because I don't block any spades and KQ, block some AJ/KJ which he could 4bet bluff, also a bit earlier I 5b shoved against him but not sure how that affects him 4bet bluffing this time more or less, probably less likely. So all in all I should probably just have check/folded otr

Tomorrow I'm going for a skateboard session and after will be mostly playing MTT's. Next week I'm going to up the volume again at 25nl

Nice thread, you're moving up the stakes pretty fast. See you at the tables whilst you're still at 25nl.

Lost about $50 in mtt's yesterday, and 2 bi's at 25nl but not worthy enough to post a graph over less than 1k hands, will post a graph of yesterday + today at the end of today. Will continue to play 3k+ hands a day for a while now because I've been slacking a bit, also decided so skip 5nl for the leaderboards from now on

Ty man! Whats ur sn? GL!

Skateboarding was my primary activity 20-15 years ago, where it was starting booming. I used to skate 8 hours every day, trying to improve everything. I cannot show you footage because smartphones and alike weren't available or powerful enough. It is a shame though because I would gladly rewatch me, I even had 2 local sponsors .
Sometimes I took the board and go at the local park but I've stopped since right now, at 35, rails and ledges are very difficult for me. What remained are all the flip tricks I had, obv I don't pop them as before but my muscles recall how to do them.
Do you have any social media where I can see you skating? I would love to see you

Damn sick man! I was never that good but I've always onky skated for fun. I'm 32 now and until this year I didn't skate much for 10 years, this year I went 20+ times already. Can do all my old tricks again + some new ones too, don't let age be a thing, imo it's more a mental thing, I can pop most tricks way better than I used to be able to back in the day. I don't post skateboarding stuff on my social media (rarely post on social media in general) but I might in the future

It's not quite as obvious to figure out as yours, but it's pretty similar to my 2+2 username. How do you get those leaderboard promotions? glgl
