Welcome to my pg&c. I started playing holdem in January 2017, beat nl10 FR in the spring for 3bb over 70kish hands and have been playing mostly nl20-nl50 since August. I started playing more and more 6 max around October and now I am pretty comfortable there as well. I am a full time student so I hope to get around 40k+ hands/month, probably more when I start multi-siting/in the summer.

Here is some bb/100 since August:



Current goals:
Improve focus. Mainly figure out how to not think about previous hands during game. If I get curious about a hand I want to use it as an opportunity to learn and I could forget my thoughts afterwards. Then I end up making meh decisions and lose some potential bb's.

Deal with soft tilt better. I probably will just have to recognize it and do something else to refresh my mind.



Here are some weird hands:

H1: I don't like my 5bet, partly hand selection and partly players are too nitty for this kind of play, even the more aggro ones. BB is like 37vpip fish. V is somewhat aggro, battled him a bit HU, I suspect he is too loose pre.

Couple hands, wanted to quit poker after H1. BR down to 460$, some runbad and some incorrect play.

H1: I was thinking I block KQ pretty hard which is the main value hand I gave him, somehow I did not think about the flush at all. I don't think he will ever bluff like this, seems to be one of the better regs.

H2: VS very bad reg, turn I think is fine and my bigger sizing could get more folds, river I'm 100% sure he has tt-qq and I get a good price on shove, in game I thought K was somewhat of scare card and either way he may reconsider. He is very stationy (55 FTRCB) but like I said I liked the price on my shove and I think even a donk could fold.

BR at $610, lots of crazy fish and rungood

Today I folded twice by accident, it was the end of the day and I wasn't doing many h/hour so I let myself lean back in my chair.

H1: vs tight fish who folds a lot to 3b on the button, not sure about flop cbet

H2 vs aggro fish, high betting frequency on all streets, he bet turn very quick and donked one time with top pair before (3 donks total), not sure if I should call turn. OTF I was pretty much hoping to hit my card ott or re-evaluate, I think for that price its fine.

40 minute session today, 200 hands, played A++ game imo, largely attributable to the gym. Getting on some next level of thinking about poker. Nothing too notable except this hand, where I am not sure if I should call turn, thought it was ok in game being in position and probably bluffing a lot of rivers. V seemed somewhat aggro from small sample.

BR 700, withdrew 120 had a 300 upswing. I found a leak and im going to pay extra attention to it. Basically when I have hard time putting v on a clear range on an earlier street, esp preflop, later streets I get confused and make a poor decision either from lack of info or from a kind of spewy 'idk what to do' behaviour. I think i should make sure I have a good idea of how their range looks even when some hands are hard to
judge. In doing so I expect to see that their range isnt all that confusing and I will be confident on many runouts. I realise that in order to get to the next level I cannot allow myself to not have strong range analysis throughout the hand. I can imagine many spots where making sure you deal with ranges to the best of your ability rather than half assing it will make you money.

BR $166 + $50 redeemable points. Withdrew like $80 and the rest is downswing. Not much time to play because of school but now I am starting up again with the smaller workload due to strike. Playing ok, learning very fast where I can improve and how to think better. Running at around -20bb/100 over 9k hands at 20nl-50nl 6-9max and played 3k at 10nl fast fold for 6bb/100. Some hands:

H1: Pretty clear mistake here, iirc I was thinking he had AK and was a bit aggressive, I just didn't realise he did not have enough combos of bluffs given his range is like 50% sets ott. If he had maybe like 20 combos of potential bluffs I think a call would be ok.

h2: A questionable bluff here otr, turn i think is probably fine. I know I have fold equity but just how much I am not sure. I assumed during the hand he would call turn light since he had 33 wtsd, 36 ft3b, and his ftcb on river was high/normal so I went for it.

BR at $350, I have played a ton of 10nl fast and some 20nl. 20nl did not go well for the most part, except one hand where I won like 170bb stacking off with QQ preflop vs fish and another player. My understanding of the game has improved a ton and right now I am looking forward to study a lot.

Results April:


H1: Not sure how much credit I get for this sizing, v was more stationy/aggro reg so I tried to make him fold overpairs ott. Flop I don't like, I think I should stick to hands with more equity/playability/blockers bluff raising on this texture.
