Break was good. Finally have Monkersolver, going to do a ton of database analysis of my hands. Some of the questions I'll be asking myself while going over the sims.

- Was there a true EV mistake?
- How many mistakes?
- Did opponent make mistakes?
- If the roles reversed would I have done anything different?

Feel free to offer advice on questions I should ask myself when Im going over a hand on Monker. Also made a deposit on GGPoker as a second site now that they have Zoom. i don't really like PP+Rio as much since there are barely any players playing when i play.
Im excited to play but I will be starting on the 5th of June. As my business has been taking quite a bit from me atm.

Some goals I've decided on for this month:

- Play 50k hands assuming Im good at the games I play.(I've said already if I don't see an improvement on my game within 40k hands I wil be dropping or quitting)
- Review hands/Study 2 hours daily(Monkersolver)
- Tuesdays are days off(No poker whatsoever)

Playing 2k hands a day minimum while Im finishing up my business out of town. When I get back home I'll be playing more of course. I decided to play on PP or GG & P* and Im figuring out how many tables I should do.

I think Ill be doing 2 GG, 1 PP and 1 P*. Im unsure of it yet and Im also unsure if I should be playing on 3 sites. So far I played 1k hands on GG & 1k hands on PP. Both great sites imo, pp has its flaws though which I will not get into. personally just dislike its software. If I were to choose i believe im leaning towards GG & P*. We'll see.

edit: I also want to mention the last 2 posts are irrelevant since I was so busy with my business I couldnt play as much as I want(also h2n is ****)

First and foremost May was a sham. came back from my business trip last thursday. Started playing yesterday.



Theres not much to say other than I bought monkersolver and have been running sims. I also took the non zoom approach as I have been getting feedback from other players that what I consider to be professional. I'm exclusively playing on stars + acr on the reg tables now.

Ive also been only doing my homework over monkersolver and nothing else. Running sims is pretty ****ing awesome. I'll be getting another 2 coaching sessions as well especially on these reg tables and see how my coach approaches the reg tables and where some of my leaks are. I've also noticed my VPIP/PFR is completely different vs Zoom. Zoom i've been a lot tighter apparently. But again only 3.6k hands. Not many.

Goals for the rest of the month 6 days left i want to hit 18k hands by the end of the month and I want to see a positive winrate. 2k/day. Also study a ton. I believe a lot of players are underestimating MS.

I'll post as much as I can but I'll guarantee a summary every week on Sunday.

Results for this week
Since I came back and restarting every monday.



Heater? lmfaoo Anyways. going over Monkersolver turns out I've been using it wrong which is fine and definetly will be fixing. Also bought 64gb Ram for my PC instead of getting a server until I get to plo200 minimum.

Going over a ton of stuff and enjoying my hand reviews. So far it's been a solid week.

Recap of the Month..



Obvioulsy we're on a sick heater. Lets keep it going for next month.

Goals are gonna be pretty straight forward - 2k hands/6 days a week. Take one day off no poker whatsoever and also be studying for 1-2 hours every single day. I have a coaching session coming up this week. Excited for that. I installed my 64gb ram so I can run some sick sims. Running one rn.

Overall I feel great and towards the direction Im headed. Next month will be a big challenge for me to finally hit atleast 60k hands in a month. The way I've been playing has been good IMO. Lets keep it going.

One more note - I will be updating the blog every 7th day with a weekly graph as well as 1 month recap.

thanks man, wish i could show good results for the week..

I'm very disappointed with my performance this week and it shows a lot. I said I would do a weekly graph but since I'm losing confidence Im going to post the hands that are the largest losses so far this month. I hope to get some criticism/feedback.


The week has been a strange one tbh, I got kicked out from a plo channel because of a comment I wrote in the discord. before i could apologize and explain how disrespectful I was being without taking anyone into consideration with my sentence I was immediately banned. It's unfortunate and the coach that I got to do reviews was the one that convinced one of the mods to ban me insta. My dumbass needs to learn when to not make jokes and just shut up lol.

That whole thing made me pretty sad because i didn't want to disrespect someone in anyway through a dark humor joke. But sometimes people are more sensitive than others which I often forget. The whole situation shined light on my insensitive comments, made me think about what i've said and how it could affect people. Truly am sorry, it's a learning experience and people make mistakes.

Aside from the little drama, my unsure whether it's me, variance or a little bit of both. In my mind I believe it's definitely me for the reason why I'm showing shut a **** week so far into the month. My confidence is starting to dwindle and my though process keeps going from ranges to instantly thinking "he has it" or "he doesn't have it"(when im down a few Bis in the session).

I'm looking for a new coach or anyone that can help me go through my database and figure out some of my leaks.

For some reason it keeps giving me an internal server error to post hands so I have to use imgur to drop them. These are the 10 hands this month the biggest pots I lost.

#1: I looked at this later. it's a preflop mistake. Big one. I always thought multiway we get hands like this in but we don't.


#2:


#3: Definetly x flop and call turn. See on river. Not sure how to see this hand since this is the first time in 10k hands a player has limp/3bet me.


#4: x flop and turn.


#5: preflop fold(i under estimate when its short handed)


#6: one of those bomb pots.

End of week graph. As you can see im ****ing crushing it.


Sike. I'm going thru variance rn. Tough week mentally. It's ok tho, it's a learning process and I have to trust it. I made a spreadsheet to review my sessions afterwards with points that allow me to self evaluate myself. I believe it's definetly necessary. I posted hands for some feedback but I havent gotten a post from anyone, seems like pg&c is dead haha.

Took a break today and met a buddy up for coffee was pretty insightful to hear his thoughts on the online scene, just wish I had more time today, oh well. Gonna start playing tomorrow. The volume is great hopefully we get some run good. haha

Until next week.

Hi, looking at the hands 7-10 its doesnt seem like its bad variance you are going through, looks to me like you are tilting?

7. Waaaay too light to GII in a single raised pot multiway, you are lucky to be up against only top set.

8. Fold to the 3bet, I don't get what you are doing later unless you have some kind of read on villain.

9. Again, you get it too light in a SRP, you will very often face a set here and it will often have a FD aswell.

10. Same, very often you will GII against a set.

GL

Thank you!!!!!! I was hoping someone would reply and criticize my hands. I agree on all points. #8 hand I knew to fold 3bet I was tilted just like you mentioned.

Please if there are people viewing my thread, I would loooooove the criticism.

Week from 7th to 14th.
+$435 RB



First and foremost, I started streaming. Tune in if you haven't watch that. Starting Wednesday I'll be shot taking. Going over the hands I play tons of variance happening this month. Playing well and tried to play less tbh. Last thursday and friday were the most brutal days this month. New week begins Wednedsay and I'll be taking a shot at 100z.

Until next time!

1) I'm not a fan of getting these in MW. Odds are one of your flushes are dead so you're basically hoping to catch a low straight draw because all the big cards are gone.

2) unlucky. I'm never calling river and always pumping it up.

3) What is your intention on the flop with a pot bet? If he doesn't have a flush he's likely folding. We want to keep straights in the hand. When he raises you on the turn you should know you're screwed. I really don't like your bet sizing on flop or turn and when he calls the flop you should be a bit more cautious on the turn. Unlikely he's check calling a pot bet with a set or air.

4) Your desire to call raises when the board has so many better hands than what you currently has is going to cost you a lot and probably explains why you are running a "heater". You basically get it in bad and suckout. Not a profitable long term strategy lol.

5) Why lead out? and then why reraise him? Do you give none of your opponents credit for having hands better than yours? If you want to lead out thats fine, but with bottom set and a straight already out there a flop call and evaluate turn seems better.

6) You can fold here. 3 players in front of you want action and you have no chance of improving while there are multiple better draws that can and will connect. If you were in MP and reraised only to get called behind by 2 other players that is a different story, but to get it in against what is likely going to be 3 opponents seems bad.

I didn't even look at the hand results and guessed pretty close to what they had, putting one villain on 789* instead of 784*. I have you getting 20-25% and basically your money back or losing it in the long run.

Having the "current nuts" is not always a reason to shove it in.

7) You need to stop over valuing the low end of a straight and bad flush draws. Since when is call and evaluate a turn not been an option? If the turn is a brick and you still feel you're ahead lead out into villain and make him or her call in a bad spot. By shipping your weak draws you make it very easy to play against you.

8) Why? If you want to float the flop IP with the K blocker thats fine. Your play on the turn is to shove into the flush when it hits thus utilizing the act of having a blocker. You called off Top Pair no hope of winning into someone who 3bet you Pre. That is foolish and just bad poker. This isn't holdem, top pair is garbage on later streets. If you think he's bluffing than sure, every now make a hero call but you do that stuff on the river when everything bricks, not on the turn when draws are still out there.

9) Meh, standard. Not folding here but don't like the SB getting it in. Ten blocker makes me feel a bit better but you're likley not folding here unless you have an insane read on villain. Too many people want to gamble here with JT9 or Jhh . I'm fine with this.

10) You don't run into AA in these spots enough to worry about this hand. Lots of people pushing A3 or wheel draws in unraised pots like this. Pretty much an oh well it happens spot.

Thank you so much for the reply. Im glad finally someone commented on my hands and I agree with all of the points you've made.

I thought I would update this and let everyone know I've been away since my last post - Im still looking for a coach and I will be continueing taking a shot @ PLO100. I'll be back at the end of august, my business is running pretty steady atm and it's been super busy unfortunetly so I had to do some travelling.

The down time I have I've been watching RIO videos mainly Gryko and I have yet to go over my database and run sims but I will be running about a minimum of 10 sims by the time I get back. I have been loving the videos from Gryko so far and even though I haven't played for the last 2 weeks I've been taking preflop quizzes daily @ 50bb and so far I've averaged 65%(which is definetly not good imo). So I'll be continueing with the tests and I hope to be 80%+ by the time I come back.

I'll be back at the end of august and I'll be doing sept full grind. I was debating on streaming the shot @ plo100 but I don't want to until I'm either in plo100 or back at plo50 grinding another shot.

Other than poker stuff life has been great, my mindset is a lot different from when I first started this blog & my eating habits have changed(I'm a vegetarian and slowly transitioning to Veganism). Other than that it's been great. I'll update the blog whenever I can. One more thing as well I'll be switching to Twitch.

Really unsure if its variance or ggpoker. Ever since I started playing on GGpoker. It's crazy how many flips I lose to some regs. I've never been on a site with more variance.

Could it be GGpoker? Nah im not one o fthose guys

So far graph for the month playing @ 30bb on PLO100 GG Rush&Cash


A lot of my poker friends are telling me to leave GGPoker and go back to stars. I definetly will be taking their advice for the rest of the month

Nice blog. I will follow you. Keep moving forward.
One word to reg tables. I am playing reg tables (PLO200) at Party atm and it is another dynamic there. There are 3 or 4 rables running, so not much but I like it more than zoom. Zoom is too quick and fast for me and I feel zoom you are always under pressure somewhere...
