lolwat at the KT raise/call on the river

This hand is actually pretty interesting. We do need to have some bluffs here and it can be pretty hard to find hands to be bluffing with. Think it might be better to use hands with a broadway card in them because they will block Jx and help keep our bluff frequency at a reasonable frequency. Not sure I like the sizing though.

I just thought that I didnt want to block Jx because that is what I was mainly targeting because I dont think anything besides Jx or a fullhouse is valuebetting otr. And there arent that many fullhouses he can have when we expect him to 3B AQ, KQ and TT almost always vs a BTN rfi.
Ya my sizing otr could be too big. Just thought I want to go really big and put him in a tough spot. Especially because I think this is a completely underbluffed spot.

Haha the KT hand made my day

Have been lurking for a few days and thought I would come and say gl

Really interesting thread.

Thank you

What a rollercoaster session. Still running like crap
So many spots where I barreled or called with a million outs and everything bricks and having to fold. Also played some hands pretty badly. But pretty happy about the volume im putting in. Again over 4k hands in about 6,5 hours. This game is really frustrating sometimes. But I guess it could always be worse...like being down 8 buyins. So I try to see it positive. At least im up today...28 bucks and 86 cents YAY

what a hero this guy with 72 haha

hey gl, how are the zoom games going with covid? Much better I assume!

Hey thank you. Actually I dont know because im playing on stars since end of december. So I dont know how the games were before. But I guess they are not bad

The poker gods are definitely not on my side at the moment
Had 21 times KK today and lost almost 3 stacks with them. Ran into AA 3 times and once in a set. Almost folded once because the guy min5bet...I called, he had AA The other times I won peanuts. Had AA 12 times and won a little bit over 1 stack overall. Felt like I just got coolered left and right.

I mean it actually wasnt that bad. I also flopped sets and some flushes and stacked people. But overall not enough to compensate the losses. Maybe I was also to spewy in a few spots and could have saved some money.

Rollercoaster alert...

Not sure if my line makes too much sense since I would be cbetting turn with KQ almost always. Just decided ott after checking and villain betting that I want to turn my hand into a bluff if he bets again otr thinking that he has a better hand most of the time.

I kinda like my bluff clearly having the nut advantage and blocking the straight flush. Felt unlucky that villain had exactly Ax of hearts. I think every other Ax combo is folding. Villain is also pretty nitty otr having a went to showdown of 18 so I thought he overfolds overall.



Thoughts are welcome

Ok I guess because of complaining the last sessions I got the real doomswitch today A mix of running really bad and accumulated tilt resulting in me also playing bad.



Just ran into hands all the time and always had the second best hand.
Like I said before I think my biggest leak is that most of the time I cant keep my redline break even. I guess it also has to do with variance but there are definitely some leaks. I just dont know how to find them.

Maybe I will take tomorrow off. Depends on how I feel tomorrow. If I think im still a bit on tilt I wont play.

Didnt play yesterday and tried to reset. I think only taking this 1 day off was great for my mindset to get rid of this accumulated tilt I had. Plan was to not do anything poker related. But its pretty hard honestly when poker is such a big part of your life. Read a poker blog about a guy crushing 100 and 200 zoom playing an exploitative strategy. Also watched a video of nick howard playing 200 zoom and talking about exploitative strategies. Watching the video and reading the blog helped to strengthen my mindset a lot since my approach to poker is also to exploit as much as I can. In the last weeks I was kinda torn (hope thats the right word) between gto and an exploitative strategy. I was questioning my style thinking maybe I should switch and try to concentrate more on learning and playing a pure gto strategy. I mean its obviously important to know gto, at least some concepts and fundementals to also understand what other people are doing. But you dont have to play like a robot to crush the games.

Because of questioning my game I started calling too much in some spots and mada bad calls thinking im too high up in my range to fold and stupid things like that when I knew I was beat and that people just dont bluff there as much as they should. Today I started with a good mindset, then I kinda fell back into a bad mindset and made a few bad plays against playerd I knew didnt like folding thinking I had to bluff there because of my range and nut advantage. Or called an allin with a bluffcatcher in a spot I now know because of experience is totally underbluffed.
Tried to refocus and to break free from that mindset and just tried to play my game which worked out pretty good. Obviously ran good too.




Im thinking about how I want to proceed with the blog. I want to update as much as possible but also want to keep some distance to short term results. So I thought I will update and post hands but only post graphs once a week or every 2 weeks or something because I will try not to look at it every day. Lets see, still not exactly sure how I want to do it

Really bad bluffcatcher but he reps nothing. QJ could check back but we obviously block that and I dont see any other Q checking back. 4 combos of Q9s but dont think he sizes like that.

Stupid bluffcatch I think. Just talked myself into a call thinking I dont block flushdraws but I think people give up a lot otr with bluffs when the most obvious draw bricks.

Hand converter doesnt work anymore so thats the replayer link.
Not sure about this hand. Didnt realize UTG was also in the hand. Thought MP raised pre

Played yesterday the 50$ main event (2 bullets) and the 50$ pko turbo. Was fun to play some mtts again. Luckily ran ok and cashed in both for a total of 275$ or something. So at least a small profit. Played a few fullring cash game tables on the side. Omg what difference compared to zoom. They are like live tables with a lot of limpers wanting to see a flop

Today I played 2,3k hands and ran like shyte. February isnt going well, I think im running a few buyins under ev and I think im break even at the moment. Not sure how many hand but I think between 15-20k. Still at least 50k more hands this month so I dont worry too much. But wanted to achieve a good winrate in the first 40k hands of the month to start taking shots at 100z. I think it was 6bb/100. We will see, maybe Its still possible in the next 20k hands.

Will try to grind hard this week and will take a look at the results and graph at the end of the week. Honestly pretty hard not to look at it but I think its better just focusing on playing as good as possible.

Pretty happy with my volume today. Played 4,5k hands which took me almost 7 hours. Ran bad in the first session and wasnt too motivated to play another session but did it anyways and ran pretty good.

Im already pretty curious how the graph will look at the end of the week.

There were not too many really interesting hands today so thats the hand of the day:

Typical 4 bet AJo or read on player. Maybe im just to tight? Wonder what he called PF? Yes, maybe 88-TT, hmmm...but why no raise on flop. Heavy draw..no flush, but still, im goingo to protect my set here.

im i wrong?

The building anticipation when you know your graph is going to be banger. Pretty much the only reason I play.

My solver has it as a mixed spot preflop. 25% 4b/75% call

Tnx on info

Cant really remember but I think villain was an unknown. Im mixing AJo pre but it is mostly player dependent as I try to exploit as much as I can.
I was kinda surprised that he flatted the 4b oop since most people jam or fold. So not really sure what his range looks like but I think he has some traps which is only AA i guess and maybe sometimes KK even thou I doubt it oop. So I think JJ, TT that dont wanna get it in pre. Maybe 99 too. KTs-KQs, ATs-AQs and maybe T9s, JTs, QJs.
Otr I could check back because of having showdown value and beating some hands so I dont have to turn my hand into a bluff. But since I have AK here all day long and he doesnt I thought I will get better hands to fold a lot. So I thought the ev of jamming is way higher than checking back because he has to fold a lot. Just didnt wanna check back and lose to AQ

haha not sure if it will be a banger. I actually think im break even for the month. The last time I looked at the february graph it looked pretty ugly like a rollercoaster.

Not saying your play was bad, just try to understand the play and Villians range.

Ya I know, didnt think that. Just wanted to explain why I 4b and why I jammed

Didnt play a single hand yesterday. Didnt feel good and had headache the whole day so thought it doesnt make sense to play.
Today I played 3,6k hands in 2 sessions. The first session was good I think and enjoyed playing. In the second session I started over motivated and didnt play very good in the beginning. Later I ran pretty bad and felt like I couldnt win a hand. Got coolered a few times, made a few bad calls, lost AAvsKK, top set vs a combo draw allin ott and lost with a combo draw vs a set vs an aggressive reg. Had a few kinda tough spots where I folded and im not sure if I made the correct decision. Feels like I was down inf in the second session. So my guess is that it was a losing day but not sure. Hard to know when you cant look at the graph



Pretty bad call ott against a nitty fish reg

Also a questionable fold but I just dont see villain bluffing here. Maybe my sizing induced but doubt it.

I dont know, maybe I just played really bad in the second session

MDF in the AA is around 50% and if you fold everything apart from 2 pair+ then you are defending around 30%. It is probably a fine exploit to be folding all your AA

isn't the ak just a river jam? AA get it in on the flop or turn or call down river. Weak poker.

thanks

In my experience psb from rec players are mostly pretty nutted. They just have it every time
