Yea, it's euro only

Roll is 13.5k atm btw

This is a great thread and am subscribing. Hope you get it all together and such.

My biggest fault is same thing run bad a session try to win it back keep running bad, rinse repeat. Instead of just closing out the poker client doing something else and coming back to it later. Its amazing how fast a -3 bi session can turn into -7

Done for the day. +800$, and another +800$ from RB. So roll is 16.1k. When I reach 20k I will take my third attempt at 600nl, the most rigged limit on the internet.

dont like it, why did u call on river? the only draw that was there on flop it came on river, there is not much that u can beat there.
What range do u give him? What part of that range can u beat. %?

Thing is, he polarizes his range so much. I expect your averge reg to shove AQ roughly 0% of the time. The only thing they shove for value are flushes.

And my range looks face up like a medium PP or Qx, so it's definitly a possibility that he's just trying to rep the draw.

And also, I'm getting almost 3-1, which means he only needs to be bluffing like 25%, which I definitly think he is.

I prolly should have folded on the flop/turn tho.

Decided to play one more session today. +980$. Roll is over 17k now.

Back to even for June!

great thread. keep it updated. I'm a poker noob, but I'd like to learn more about the game. This seems def. a good thread for this purpose

I hope you gonna reach your goal very soon.
I have to add two quick questions...1. Why iPoker? (Haven't heard much about that platform yet (did I already mentioned I'm a noob? ) 2. Which book/resource would you recommend for starters? (Build a bank-roll, via SnGs preferably...)

Can't play on American sites due to tax reasons, and Ipoker is a deacently large EU-site with good RB.

2. Prolly like HoC or Theory of Poker, maybe watch some vids. But really just concentrate and use the forums.

i agree that that was way to weird play for AQ but imo he will shove there on river his whole range (vs ur stack size left behind) -> set, over pairs, Qx, JJ-TT (rep flush and trying to move u of ur Q) and some random blufs too. he is getting 2,5:1 on his money if he shoves (with any hand) and u folds and if u call and he has best of it he will get 3:1 so is def +ev move for him to do, after he pot size bet flop and turn
i think if u were planing to call river (and that is some of the worse river cards that it might came and u made a call) u should be better shoving turn ur self imo b/c u have some FEQ vs JJ,TT,66,77,99
but as u say i think folding turn, or maybe even flop was best play

I think you highly underestimate variance. 30 buyin rolsl do not cut it in 2010.

Kid knows what he's doing, let him be.

Meh, If I lose I just move down.

I'm from Europe too (Germany), what's the problem with taxes, when you play in American sites? Not that it does effect me in any way right now (since I haven't won much online) but I would be good to know for the future.

And what does HoC stands for? And who's the author of "Theory of Poker". Yeah, I'll be hanging around here and try to learn from the experienced players...

this is so high variance, but so much more fun than FR

good luck!

afaik the tax situation in germany (and austria where i live) is that noone got ever taxed for poker and most likely there is no tax on poker (although some say its just not adressed in the law and they could just interpret the law in a way that it is taxable - but again, as far as i know nobody ever got taxed yet).

HoC = Harrington on Cash games, a 2p2 book
Theory of Poker is a classic by David Sklansky

I think if you play 6max cash youd be better off reading the forum and ebooks (like fees guide, its free, if you google it you will find it). maybe the new harrington on 6max is good.

Well the problem is I have to pay tax on American sites, and not on European sites.

Since you are from Sweden, you will be able to do it

I disagree that his range is as polarized as you think it is by the river. It looks like you have a medium Q, and it looks very hard for you to have anything better than AQ, so I think a value shove with AQ is fairly standard. Literally the only thing he loses to are slowplayed sets and the rivered flush (which is unlikely because you coudl have either raised flop, raised turn ,or folded turn). It's also very likely that he coudl even be turning a hand that beats you into a bluff on that river. Just fold the turn IMO, but DEFINATELY don't fold the flop, because your hand is good some % of the time, and you have so many cool turns you can represent (any spade, Ace, or 6).

My god that graph is sick.

This was exactly what was going thry my head when i initally called the flop bet.

Lost 1500$ in under 100 hands today. Lost one buy in with AQ > AK and then I got tilted and gave away two more buy ins. Then I quit down the lobby (thank god for that at least). Here are my tilt hands:
