H1 fold, he has a range of AA and AKss
H2 call

Thanks. That's exactly how I played them. I'm assuming he had something like AK in the 2nd hand as I took it down on a board with no broadways.

I remember someone telling me their SN was Epic_Turtle but I can't remember who. If they're around give me a shout.

GL, late subbed!

Thanks. Welcome aboard

Gotta say since I spent a few hours going through my preflop game it's increased my confidence. I'd never really sat down and worked things out since I made the switch to 6max so it previosly felt as though I was kinda winging it.

Holla!

I know we played yesterday and i'm sorry if a did something bad to you because I was tilting balls struggling to get back into the grind after a pretty large break for me

Ah, I remember now.

No, I was just wondering why you were at 25nl. The last thing I need is regs dropping down to my level.

Villain: what else for our incest failwhalelag
Villain: worst bstard alive np doesn't matter plain worst ***** moron stats np

hahaha great chat. nh!

There was actually a lot more than that but you can't cut and paste the chat on Party.

I only have a 48 hand sample on him at that point so I can imagine things will only get worse. Which should be fun...

Lol I love reading the chat in your posts.so weird how you always get flamed

I've never really understood it as I never use chat. I do enjoy it though

Also, it may just be coincidence but the majority seem to be German, like my new friend above.

failwhalelag is pretty good ... top marks for creativity.

Subbed.

Especially as it wasn't his native tongue.

Welcome

I also got involved in a battle with another very aggro player who was 3betting me around 40%. I was however at a distinct disadvantage as he was on my immediate left on the 3 tables we were together. Came out on top though (House player FTW!)

Dude as soon as you've got a bankroll for the 50nl games start taking shots them imo. Honestly think they might be softer than the 25nl games

For example

Nice

Assuming I'm back to winning again then I plan on taking a shot next month. I actually sat at a 50nl table by mistake last week and I already had 2 of the players tagged as fish. Was tempted to stay...

what was your winrate over 350k hands? at 25nl

The majority of the volume was at full ring where I won at 5.24bb. I also had roughly 70k hands at 6 max where it was 3.43bb

Ok cool that's solid. How's 50nl going results wise and how are you finding the differences in games? And villains?

Haven't moved up yet. I plan to do it at some point next month. Still trying to get accustomised to 6 max but I'm getting there.

Ok fair enough
I personally find it more aggressive and less total fish. Table selection is much more important.

Yeah 6 max is much more aggro

I don't want to turn this thread into me posting a lot of beats but I think I've gotta post some hands that will put my results into context when I post them tomorrow. These are hands from todays session

1) Against an unknown One of the raises on the river was meant to be a shove, not sure what happened.
