How many hands have you got at 25nl or 50nl?

Have had a lot of days like you describe, usually around the time I'm trying to commit to real growth/change. Your mind might be trying to protect you from something.

In my case I think I was trying to protect myself from a lack of clarity/professionalism in my thought process. Still get a lot of resistance but so far have been pushing through it with meditation and introspection.

Feel free to send me a PM if you wanna talk mental game. In a very similar spot to you poker/life wise

Played 50nl before I started tracking with pt4 and didn't bother with using the app, so not sure on that.

At 25 I currently have 30k hands in zone. Was peak winning 10bb per 100 up until 22kish hands, then in the last 7 to 10k hands I've wiped out so much of that profit.

Played a session today using my default strategy with some adjustments that I made after population tendency analysis and it seemed to work better, although it was another down 2 Buy in session, but this time purely through badbeat and very low hand volume.

Had a good day. After starting on the pppoker club last week, I went on a several hundred dollar downswing playing 60nl and 100nl. Today I only played the 100nl, coming to the end of my session now, swung up several buyins and am now into the profit by a few hundred total on pppoker.

Mental game was much better the whole day.

Next week will try to integrate pppoker and ignition together while streaming. Go go mental game hold together pls!

Edit: literally right after I typed this I lost a 200bb 5bet pot with ak vs 72 who riveted trips :'D

On the plus side, I'm playing in games where people 4bet and apparently at some frequency call a 5bet and get it in with 72

Greatest moment of my life was when I 6bet Allin with 72o, got snapped by AA??? And binked the two pair for the scoop. Almost got in a fist fight with the 60+ year old woman after the hand :')

All I'm saying is that gii 72o is very standard

confirmed, std.

Gotta polarize your 5b calling ranges.

So what you're saying is that you took an old ladies pension money and then tried to fist fight her? Seems gto, maybe she had more cash in her purse

Well I mean, I could never put him on it, so isn't he basically crushing my whole game if I can never put him on a hand?

I mean now he can gii pre with A5o because you'll be 5b shipping 98o, its GTO

He's exploiting me in advance, this man is playing 3018 poker in 2018.

I feel like this kind of **** is exactly how the hilarious hands began between llinus and co. came to happen.

Probably the second best moment of my APL career!

Current sample is: 29k hands at 25z and 10k hands at 25nl.

I'm haemorrhaging money from the BB currently playing 21.7/8.24/7.32 (vpip/pfr/3b). Losing 42.5bb/100

Currently breakeven at 25z (0.01bb/100) and winning 10bb/100 at 25nl.

I think I'm just going to cut overall bb vpip to around 19, increase 3bet, but I'm not sure how much by.

Likely the main issue is post flop, playing too passively.

My graph for the first 25k hands of 25z was pretty steady up and then the last 4k hands have just been a vertical drop, particularly in red line.

Whatever I was doing to beat 200z was working, whatever I'm doing now seems to not be. I'm sure there's a confounding factor of me running good at 200z and me running bad so far at 25z but there has to be more.

From this point in the thread I'm going to be a lot less results focused and more critical and developmentally oriented, looking at my game mechanics and mental game issues.

Not going to look towards immediate money and moving up stakes progression, but I'm going to really focus on my gameplay and self reflection.

I think I already told you to drop to 5z

What initial sample did you play at 200z?

I think I need to go back to Zynga poker and start fresh

Somewhere between 40k and 60k hands

The pool as a whole has definitely improved. What I was doing at the beginning of the year wouldn't cut it now. I have improved signficiantly in the last 4months and my strategy is really starting to flourish in the current environment. I think if you take some time out to improve your game you may be pleasantly surprised with your results. Make sure you build on your fundamentals and continue to study population trends. Hard work does pay off, believe me.

Played a couple hours of 50 PLO and then like 30 minutes of 25nlz.

Ended even at 50 plo and up 75 at 25z. Had this hilarious hand at 25z, thoughts on my line?

Hero is Sb with As Ah and covers all

V1 is UTG with 25, V2 is bu with 25, V3 is bb with 7.

UTG Limps, Bu limps, Hero raises to 1.5, BB Calls, UTG calls, BU.....Goes all in for 25

Hero?

Lol, I call, BB also calls, UTG ALSO CALLS

UTG Has 66, Bu has 88, Bb has...97o (pot odds amirite?)

Poker is ded

I've been single tabling 100nl on the pppoker app while at my normal work with great success so far. The game basically plays like a bad live game, so a great quality online game.

Playing a reasonable amount of heads up on the app as well, basically just crushing live players who will sit me at 100nl heads up. It's great

So far I'm up several bi on the app and starting to swing back up (slowly) on 25z ignition. Doing a fair amount of population stat analysis through pokertracker which is very helpful.

in and gl!

Took a shot at 200nl (staked) today, single tabling on pppoker app while I worked my normal night job. Was up finished session up 750. Pretty happy with my play and that I could run well. I lost a bit of ev with bluff and value sized that could be different but I don't have much time to make very specific sizings while working, so general sizes still ok.

One interesting hand, thoughts?
1 2 blinds, Hero is Sb, Villain is mp with 850. Hero covers. Hero has AsAh.

Utg limps, Villain opens to 8, hero 3b to 25 (Should have been 30+ given stack depth), Villain calls.

Flop (54) Jd 9d 7h, hero checks, V bets 45, hero calls

Turn( 144) Ts, hero checks, V bets 125, hero calls

River (394) 6d, hero checks, V bets 275, hero?


Relevant information: villain is a solid reg, played with him for the last 4 hours. Is playing a super blue line strat (which is very correct given the other players) and haven't seen him show any bluffs yet, although I may have just not seen the hand. I think he could run bluffs vs me and other solid players, but have no information to back that up.
