Hi. My name is Ryan and I am known for putting in insane amounts of volume.

Prior to Black Friday you would almost always find me at the RUSH tables playing anywhere from 6-12 tables of 50NL-200NL 6m RUSH. There's nothing like being able to put in 2k hands/hour. RUSH was my crack, and Howard made me his bitch. #FUHoward


#bot

Now, thanks to the #partyintheDOJ, ~85% of my networth is stuck on FTP. I was a huge bankroll nit and kept way too much money online. #FML

I'm not quite 21 yet so playing in the live isn't really an option. Instead I've deposited small amounts on a few different sites and have grinded it up.



You can probably find where I cashed out. After an ~18k BE stretch I decided to stick 1k back on and move up to where they respect my bets. And that is where this story will continue.

Let me know if there's anything that you would like to know about me and good luck at the tables. #gogogo

Today ended okay, rostucko'd and a little more. Very happy with my grind ethic this month so far.



And here's the total in bbs (because it looks smoother) since the redeposit.



oh and happy 4th of July weekend! Time to break out the lawnchairs and grills.



#rareorGTFO

Pretty brutal day but I somehow managed to salvage it. Ran bad in AIPF spots, range over range. My redline tanked (not that I care). Most likely a combination of #runningbad #lolweekendfish and #aggrotardregs.

To be completely honest, the games today weren't that good. Everyone's out BBQing. There were only a few tables running and none of the regs would start tables with me. Come on guys, don't sit at a table if you don't want to play. The graph looks much smoother in BBs but I think the thread has too many jpegs. I'll think I'll update in BBs once a week and keep the daily $ graphs.

Anywho, #giraffe #swongs


Graph is missing a few hands because my internet disconnected a few times. theres ~250$ pot hand missing.

Only fun hand from today:

Thank you merge for the all in button. 90% sure he misclicked because he snapshoved so fast there no way he could have seen his cards.

I don't understand to two graphs in the OP.

1st: Says "last month" and has ~200k hands and ~$10k profit
2nd: Says "all" and has ~85k hands and ~$7k profit

What is going on here???

First graph was from a month (February) on FTP

Second graph is all hands post blackfriday

My laptop would die before I would be able to load up all 1.8M hands from FTP into a graph on HEM lol

I put in more volume last night and ended up running like dog ****. Oh well, what can you do.

There was a thread in NVG earlier with some "insider" telling us confirmed FTP was sold to some Euro investors. He answered a few questions that confirmed he was "legit". He's about 75% sure we're getting paid. All-in-all nothing really new but it is good news with the euro confirmation. #hope #onetime

I do have a decent chunk of money on FTP and was planning on (probably still planning to) going to HK to set up residence/Banks (I have dual citizenship) and then chill in Thailand for a few months.

Anywho, back on topic. First 1k day of the month!

must be nice you sicko! gogogogo

Always nice to have a 2k day right after a 1k day. I don't know what else to say, I ran really well.

This is probably my personal best day (in terms of $) in my poker career. Pretty psyched. I'm going to take my family out for dinner.

Total since redeposit in BBs


I'm in such a good mood that I might make some sort of strategy post. Please let me know if there's anything you would want me to talk about!

congrats on the big day.

strategy-wise, teach us how to run gooot

Nice thread so far. I too have most of my roll online and I don't really have spare funds to redeposit elsewhere. Looking better and better for us though, in terms of getting our $ back #onetime.

Good luck with everything!

How do I learn more than four moves?

whats with the number sign? Did i miss some new slang?

Lol, first time I've seen is in this thread. Thought it was pretty cool though, so incorporated it into my post...

#sheep? :P

biggest leak in players

best tips to learn how to abuse players and start to adjust ur game to suit the other player not just ur own 2cards! is this wat holds players back? or is it tilt

how you deal with aggro regs that 3bet a ton in the blinds (obviously you thighten up pre a bit and call more 3bets IP but how to play the flop)

for example like a reg has been 3betting little bit too much from the blinds over 200 hands (a 24/21 with standard Cbetsstats and together about 10 percent 3bet from SB and BB) youre OTB with JT+ and flat

flop comes 239rainbow he Cbets 1/2 pot (this is the first time you call his 3bet)

floating? dubbelfloating on scare cards he always barrels with air? rais any turns?

are there boards you like to raisbluf on in this situation?

Thanks! Start by sacrificing a goat and then chanting a few FUHowards.

Yeah there was good news but I'm really hoping FTP gets back up before the end of this week. Their reputation/brand name will be forever tarnished if they don't get back up within the next few days (not to say that their rep isn't already jack ****). Thanks for the wellwishes and GL with your situation!

#. They're called hashmarks and they're used on twitter as 'key word tags'. So if you're on there and want to look at all the comments with #FUDOJ or #FUFTP you could. #waytointotwitter

#doingitright

Sorry Mark, I'm going to sound like a broken record. At 50NL minus, there's virtually no need to "adjust". A lot of what holds people back is not being able to play ABC/Standard and tilt control. At the micros, you have significantly less fold equity, so you should be making much less "moves" and valuebetting thinner. There are a lot of spots where you can valuebet second pair but microstakes players take the "pot control" line vs fish. Why would you ever pot control vs a fish?

#rant
Might go off on a rant here. A lot of the micro players also don't understand how to use HUD stats correctly. And they also make silly assumptions/notes from what they see go down in one hand. For instance, if you see someone get in 99 BB vs BTN and what you take from that is "Felts 99 preflop, total maniac", it's incorrect. You can't just make the assumption that from now on in any POSITION villain will just get in 99 pre. You also cannot assume that he's a maniac just because of that one hand.

3bet %. It matters by position. I can't think of everything I want to say about HUD stats right now but I'll probably write something later. The HUD/HEM/PT3 is a great tool that most players are still not using to their full potential (or anywhere near it).

I would highly suggest just putting your mind on the grind and getting out of the micros before wanting to learn to adjust to players.

Let's see,

Biggest leaks at the micros:
call down too light
can't handread
can't valuebet
tilt

SSNL
still calling down too light
some players can't valuebet
some players can't handread
tilt

To be completely honest, there isn't a huge difference between 100NL and 50NL. Everyone thinks it's a huge thing when they move up to 100. It's really not. You still have the same 50NL guys who are trying to move up with you too and then you have the BE 100NL guys who have been there forever.

#endrant

You need to figure out what he's 3betting. This is very important. Is he 3betting pocketpairs to 5betjam? Is he 3betting AQ/KQ/AJ/broadways for thin value/initiative? Vs people who 5betjam pocketpairs, you obviously don't want to 4betbluff. Vs people who 3bet KQ/AJ, you do wan't to 4betbluff and punish them for 3betting a semivalue hand (since they can't/won't jam).
Vs people who 3bet pp, flat and lol when they have 0 postflop playability
Vs people who 3bet broadways, 4bet and lol when they fold.

Do it at a freq that they don't notice, obviously. You don't want them to readjust.

People will also have different 3bet % from the SB vs BB. My general theory is that people should be 3betting more from the SB because they don't want to get squeezed by the BB, whereas if you're in the BB you close action so you can defend. Some people 3bet bluff alot from the SB but only do it for value in the BB.

Look at villains singleraised pot barrel tendencies and you can extrapolate from that to their barrel tendencies in 3bp.

Stack depth is also very important and something that people don't understand. When you reach a certain point, you should be 3betting much less from the blinds because it is assumed that the BTN/CO openers are competent and can put you in spots either postflop or preflop. ~150bb deep is what I have in mind. IE if you 3bet AJ/AQ/JJ/TT and get 4bet, you're not really happy.

Defending by flatting
You can never go wrong defending too tight. AJ+/KQ (some of these are even folds to some villains).

Before floating any board, you should understand how villain thinks. You should ask yourself these questions before you defend:

If I float this Axx board, will he stop barreling with air because I look exactly like Axx?
Will he barrel Ax turns upwards of 90%?
How likely is he to shove if I raise flops?

Look for boards that aren't going to be barreled.

I don't believe in having a turn shoving range in general in 3bet pots, but there may be some specific instances where it's okay. Naked double floating in general without SDV/hands that he's barreling would be a bad idea unless you understand how villain plays postflop.
