Start: 3635.77
End: 3751.03
Profit: 115.26 including 27 dollar profit from 2nd place in 1 sng I played.

Played a quick 1 hr cash session. Lost a BI quick not by doing a really bad bluff, but was able to get it together and won a huge pot 3 handed with AJ on a J 8 5 4 vs 9T and J2. Then couldn't really find tables so I decided to use some of my points to play some sngs. The regular FR sngs don't fill very fast so I only can get in one and got 2nd for 27 dollars.

Sigh, ran into coolers KK into AA and 99 into KK after villain was 3 betting frequently. I need to stop 4 betting light, sometimes money saved is money earned. I was down big early but was able to battle back and get a small profit after 2.5 hrs.

After session I add up my mistakes. Say I lost $50 in a hand but $30 if it was bad play, well I made $30 in 'mistakes', or spots I could have saved $$. Add this number up after a week and u will want to puke. But until u visually see how much mistakes are costing its hard to change. But when u realize u could have another 3BI in your account u will stop making these plays. Especially if u go through a downswing or breakeven. As u said, money saved is money earned

Profit: 6.27 (not all of it holdem)

So today started out pretty **itty, whiffing flops, donks hitting with ATC, set up flops hands. Played some PLO and won like 30 bucks. After dinner, started off poorly again, but battled back against donks who overplay top pair. I was up 2+ buyins for the session until the set up hands happened.

Hand #1
blind vs blind I'm SB with TQ off, effective 100bbs
pre flop
I Raise to 3, call by bb

flop is t K 2 rainbow, I cbet, bb calls. Turn is t again. I cbet again, bb calls. River is a blank, i fire again and bb jams. I should've folded here, but of course I don't and bb shows up with 22.

Hand#2
I'm on the button with AA, full stack nit to my right. Folds to nit and nit raises to 3, I 3 bet to 10, nit 4 bets to 25, of course I'm doing back flips and I'm putting nit on QQ+ and decide to slow play and flat. Flop is J high rainbow, nit checks, I bet out. Turn is blank I jam, nit calls and shows up with....JJ. Sigh. Really? Set up hand obv. So of course I lose another buy in.

Sigh.......FML Also tweaked my back on Saturday playing golf and have a hard time walking or bending over or doing anything. Such a nice weekend I had.

Lol yeap I won 16 cents in my session today. Started off decent but of course the whales hit trips with stuff like 49 suited and q5 suited and I of course had to have top pair. Of course these whales LOVE playing any 2 suited so of course their calling ranges in these type of flops consist of flush draws as well I bet into the them with 2 streets of value and calling off a 3rd because they could be bluffing on a whiffed draw. I don't even know when the last time I flopped trips. Another brilliant play is limping with a strong hand and me raising into them and then flopping top pair and of course these calling station love calling off top pair and of course they have me out kicked ie. AJ vs AQ. Very frustrating this past week.

I have had a long stretch of the same. Bad runouts and villains calling w bottom pair, turn a FD, and river a miracle. Over and over. The variance is worse bc it's anonymous. It can feel crazy sometimes, especially when K5s keeps beating your AK or whatever. **** sucks, but all we can do is fight the good fight

Sigh, tough tables, couldn't find many tables to stay on, so I decided to cut session short as I have to wake up early tomorrow. I would've won 100 dollars more had my hand held. Effective 100bbs. I had AQ off on the button, folds to me I raise 3x, SB calls, BB folds. Flop is KJT with two clubs. I cbet, SB jams and I obviously call with the nuts. SB shows Q9 off. Turn is an ace of clubs giving SB chop and giving him potential flush draw, but river blanked. Of course that crap happens to me.

About a 2 hr session, finally got some value with premiums but it started off pretty poorly with an idiot basically playing any 2 suited/2 straight possibility. I have AQdd from the BB, CO/villain is a lagtard idiot basically playing any 2 suited/straight possibility with a 63/50 vpip/pfr after 8 hands. Effective 100 bbs. CO limps, folds to me and I raise 5x. CO min reraises to 10. I 4 bet to 33. Flop comes 678 ccc. I jam with a SPR of 1 and villain is basically playing anything. Villain shows up with 79 dd and holds then leaves. Sigh oh well. I seem to be having trouble finding decent tables now.

Either don't 4! Or u played it well.
12-11-2014 , 12:59 PM
Some of your issue is a lack of a plan. When u 4! U should have an idea of his continuation range and how u will approach flops.
In the hand u posted u have no FE when u 4!, so u basically should be 4! With plans of calling any 5! or shoving 99% of flops.

x-back flop. Worst board for you w/ that hand vs. him imo

H can't x-back. He is OOP. So his question is really do I x/f, x/c, or jam it myself and PRAY he shows up with worse Ax, bc villain never folds here

FWIW. There is no way I 4! This hand OOP. Especially vs a limp/rr. Bc AQ sucks OOP vs most 100bb fish limp/ rr range

Also it's our 8th hand. We have no idea about this villain, even more reason not to 4! OOP bc u don't know how he plays post flop. What's your plan on T72? K67? AQ is pretty, but u need reasons to go around 4! Limp/re raises vs a villain that sat down for 1 órbit

Check the flop is what I meant. I also agree it's a nice hand to call with and not 4bet. Limp/raise on Bovada seems to be decently strong a lot of the time too. So, take that fwiw.
12-11-2014 , 02:37 PM
I am 4 betting this hand because I dominate villain's range in this spot. I did have a plan and it was to basically jam most flops as I represented a very strong hand and if villain has me crushed, well it's going to be a cooler. Obviously, 678 ccc is one of the worst flops for my hand. Our stack-to-pot ratio is 1, if I checked I knew villain would jam. I was not expecting something like 79 dd, but then again if I do jam, there's not much I beat. If you aren't going to 4 bet AQdd there what will you 4 bet against a villain type like this? AQdd smashes villain's range. I just got the worst possible flop for my hand.
12-11-2014 , 03:37 PM
I think you're reading into what type of player the villain is after 8 hands too much. I definitely can have 63/50 stats over 8 hands. Also, we know he's a fish once he limps in from CO but when he limp/raises I think it's pretty strong from my experience. I think just calling and playing post flop is higher EV. I also think it is bad to just jam this flop.... Not enough hands are folding. He definitely doesn't fold 55+ which is in his range. He has plenty of over cards with clubs in it that might not fold as well..... I rather just x/f.
12-11-2014 , 04:34 PM
63/50 is a strong indicator but obv 8 hands isn't a strong enough sample size, but I also saw villain show down 2 hands that were basically any 2 suited, so it adds to my theory that villain is terrible. Preflop stats are great, but without context it doesn't mean very much. Seeing hands go to showdown is more valuable with a limited sample size. The limp/reraise is usually a strong indication of a strong hand but I also have blockers and if villain had a very strong hand it's a cooler, but I feel VERY comfortable with getting it in pre flop with AQdd against these villain types. Going back to the hand it's probably +EV to x/f in this spot, but I guess that's what the discussion is for.

Include the previous hand info in your post. I also agree with most things here.

I did, I said villain's range was heavily ranged towards any 2 suited/any 2 with straight possibility in the original description.

whats his range PreFlop? actual cards? list it out and see if u are ahead. also u can't make assumptions after 8 hands. and it dont matter if you are ahead, can u play it profiatbly OOP? And lastly u got lucky, BC a limp/RR range is super strong. u will go broke 4! limp /RR with AQ. u are only like 60/40 preflop, also OOP which means its a lot closer to 50/50. also u caught the nut low of a limp/RR range

Yes you can, especially if you've seen the player go to showdown a few times already. Usually limp/rr is from UTG is a very strong range, but even if that's a case, I'm very comfortable 4betting against this type of player. A whale is a whale.
