haha wp. they're at PCA at the moment too!

Todays results:

Felt i played a ton better after having comments from thefunbegins in this thread. Took some time to talk over spots with people and adjust my play. My stats have noticeably changed with regard to vpip/pfr/3bet. Hopefully i'll keep it up.

Graph:



really really sticky pot. desperately wanted to fold the turn too and fortunately got there. I think there is definitely a good argument to calling turn too

    Really unsure of what the best play is in this spot vs a short stacker with a 14% flop raise. Any thoughts would be really helpful.

              Good luck Ben. I can't give you much technical advice as you're a better player than I am, but I would say just keep working on your game every day, stop giving any significance to short term results, and if a reg playing a hand badly and hitting a FD seriously tilts you then spend time working on your mental game too.

              Thanks for this mate, definitely not a better player though. The FD hand was tilting, but didn't actually end up tilting me if you see what i mean!

                    Lost our football match 6-2 today, mainly due to missing our best player (smb!) We're in the 'premiership' now which is the top 5 teams of the 10 team league so we'll play each team once and there will be a semi final and final. Can't really afford to lose anymore games! Will keep updated on that!

                    I can confirm that he doesn't do things that he isn't the best at. Notably swimming and being alone in the dark - both of which you will not catch smb doing

                    Results

                    My month has finally taken a good turn and am winning a decent amount over the past few days. It seems that our new guest TonnaMunz who's staying for a couple weeks has brought some run good back from the PCA!



                    I'm sure we'll still be grinding a decent amount, but I'll be showing him around London and doing a ton of stuff. Will make sure i keep this updated though!

                              Been busy doing things the past couple of days but have managed to get in 3 or 4 1k hand sessions in. Running pretty good and feel that i'm playing way more solid too.

                              Had some really interesting hands too which are below:

                                vs a 53/13 fish with 100% agg freq on all streets (30 hands). Maybe folding river would be optimal?

                                    vs a good winning reg. Really not sure how often i'm winning when i call the river and whether or not there is a good argument to checking back the river anyway:

                                      This was a really weird hand and tbh i think I've spewed off horribly. At the time i thought his range was pretty weighted towards AK and felt he would fold this nearly always, but upon review he certainly has QQQ and KKK in his range. The fish that i 3b was blowing up hard so i still think i can rep 2pairs pretty well.
