I've been playing this game on and off for a while now since around 2010 took it a bit more seriously in late 2014 and whole of 2015 starting at 2 and 5nl, binked a tourney and moved up to 10nl where with the help of some books I had decent success (@ 3bb/100 over 100k hands). Volume and consistency was always a problem.

Currently playing 2 and 5nl zoom, I've been running a bit bad but man am I **** at this game. I'm planning on spending more time studying and less time playing. Probably just going to 2 table zoom for now. I had periods where I was 6 tabling (4 x 2nl and 2 x 5nl) and while the volume was decent (around 6k to 9k hands a day) I was making a lot of mistakes where I didn't know where I was in the hand, if I was the one who raised or what happened. This even happens at 4 table sometimes. So I will stick to two tables for now and think every time "why" I'm betting.



From 70k to 100k I was 6 tabling. I'm not sure if it was just a downswing but not knowing wtf was going on most of the time certainly wasn't helping.

I have some books that I plan on reading. Half way through balugawhales Easy Game I and despite being somewhat old I feel like it made a bit clearer some concepts I somewhat already understood intuitively. Gonna prolly post monthly graphs, some hands and other **** like that.

Poker Stars, $0.02/$0.05 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players

BTN: $6.10 (122 bb)
SB: $6.12 (122.4 bb)
BB: $5 (100 bb)
UTG: $6.30 (126 bb)
MP: $7.10 (142 bb)
Hero (CO): $5.74 (114.8 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A K
UTG folds, MP calls $0.05, Hero raises to $0.20, BTN folds, SB calls $0.18, BB calls $0.15, MP calls $0.15

Flop: ($0.80) J 5 K (4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, MP checks, Hero bets $0.50, SB folds, BB calls $0.50, MP folds

Turn: ($1.80) 4 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $1.11, BB raises to $2.22, Hero calls $1.11

River: ($6.24) 4 (2 players)
BB bets $2.08 and is all-in, Hero folds

What do you guys think about the turn? The problem is that with the K we might already be drawing dead, and even if we hit a flush we're not getting any more money from lower flushes. While his range is pretty nutted here but we still have SOME outs a percentage of the time and we need like less than 20% equity.

GL . I would check call turn

We're in position. You mean checking turn and calling any river? I was thinking of that too but opted for the bet thinking there's still value on the turn from some weaker kings, A Jx with and other gutshots/oesds with a fd. Also I'm not sure how often hes bluffing the river.

Yep sorry misread hand. Yeah I would check back and can call river bets then especially with Ks. Yeah I doubt he's bluffing river which is annoying because of the price.

BTN: $12.45 (249 bb)
SB: $5 (100 bb)
BB: $5.52 (110.4 bb)

River: ($2.43) 3 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.65, MP raises to $4 and is all-in, Hero ?

I bet the river very small in the idea of getting calls from hands like AKo, when he shoves I don't expect him to show up here with anything other than a slowplayed ten or air that he decided to shove vs my small sizing.

We need to call @ 3$ in a 7$ pot so we need @ 30% equity.

He has at best ATs, KTs, QTs, JTs, T9s with 2 combos each. That's 10 hands that crush me. For some reason I thought as a bluff only of AK ingame and if he does that half the time then its 8 combos and we have an easy call. Now that I think of it he's more likely to do it with other hands than AK so that widens his range giving us way more than the @ 5 combos that has to bluff with to make this a profitable call.

BTN: $2.57 (51.4 bb)

River: ($4.88) T (3 players)
Hero bets $1.59, MP folds, CO raises to $5.07 and is all-in,
Pretty sure I butchered this hand but I'm not sure what the optimal line would have been. Just shove river? Bet fold as played?


Planned to play at least 2k hands while 2 tabling but I'm going to stop as I'm not in the best mood right now.

QQ: fold vs his raise OTR, population is not bluffing there nearly enough. If you see someone value jam AA, then it makes it even snapfold not even close.

T8hh: I think your play is quite decent given you block TP combos which can call vs a jam, and with your small sizing you might induce some bluffs so I don't mind your river call with a good flush.

Yeah I just filtered my db on calls vs river raises. It's the nuts 90% of the time.
Call vs raises on rivers are losing more than fold vs raises.
Thanks for the gl wishes and for the input.

I think it would be a good idea to set some concrete daily goals.

For now the plan that I will follow 6 days a week is:
[ ] Play 2k hands
[ ] Read 20 pages of a poker book
[ ] Review/post 2 hands

Occasionally I'll do some d filtering in some spots that I feel are causing me trouble.

Anyone have any ideas what would be some other ways to spend my time learning?

Visiting my parents and I'm slacking at the moment. Went through a few hands the other day.



You guys think this was too wide?
I've been called in this spot before by AQ but I can't know the frequency. Considering he has 8 combos of AQ and 3 of TT (with some odd 77 or ATs) he'd have to call half his combos of AQ to make this breakeven and even then its not a bet considering rakeback.
