Well played by villain. Lucky river

Crypto trading
Well another day where I can learn something from this game. And the lesson is: just wait, history always repeats itself

Long time silent reader. Have been following your Progress for quite some time. Really impressed by the volume

If you want my advice. Focus 100% on Poker. If you do that you have a realistic shot at making 8-10k per month which should make you a rockstar in Moldova, right?

Crypto trading - you have zero edge in that Game. Pure gamble in my opinion

Why dont you find someone who will buy half your action at Zoom 100? Would be as if you continue to play zoom 50 on your own whilst freerolling the other half ( 50-50 split ). Would make it easier to get accustomed to the bigger monetary swings

thank you

well 10k/month in Moldova is a lot of money considering different prices compared to other countries

trading itself is more a game of skill than gambling so I still have hopes to make it
the edge is having a better understanding of market cycles


this could be a solution to my " mental leak" regarding moving up
50z always feels like a freeroll

Bad session yesterday



Session ended when Pokerstars froze at 2 am CET, cant remember the last time it froze for more than 1 hour.

What tool is best to upload hands?

im confused, h1 must be the most standard play by villain

yes most standart 4bet KQo IP for value

Nobody said that it is for value. If you look into solver ranges, you will see that these type of hands are used as 4bets in these positions at lower frequency. I personally would go a bit bigger with my 4bet sizing but his hand selection is pretty standard assuming he does it with the right frequencies.

KQo is 100% call IP
there is absolutely no reason to 4bet this hand as a bluff SB vs BU 100bb, terrible play that does not achieve anything really

No.

Yes.


@OP KQ is a 4b more often than a call lol. Tone down the arrogance and listen a bit more.

yes I'm arrogant because I understand better 50z player pool and my results are a proof of it

yikes.

A middlish single digit winrate at the micros is not a sign of you playing optimally vs your pool.

By actually listening you can get better. +1 on dropping the arrogance.

Lol betting 10% pot is “most standard play”?

You dont need to play optimal to win vs weak players( which is what 50z player pool is)
The idea of playing optimal is that you have a strategy in a vacuum vs balanced players and in 50z people are not balanced enough in way too many spots that you can DEVIATE and increase your EV
I would listen, but there is nothing to listen.

yes middlish single digit
last 11 months since moving back to pokerstars:



Please first beat the game at least 2bb then we talk.
If you really think someone is beating the game 10bb+ over 1 mln hands last 24 months( 50z, 100z, 200z) you are completely delusional

actually 33%

Not optimally in a vacuum. Optimally vs pool considering tendencies.

How do you increase your EV by deviating from optimal (in a vacuum) and flat KQo 100%?

Here we go

i think it was SBvCO

1) KQo 4bet IP SB vs CO is NOT OPTIMAL, it just increases variance
2) KQo playes really well IP vs SB 3bet range
3) There are worse Kx and Qx that are better as 4bet bluff rather call 3bet IP
4) Facing an 5bet allin, which is probably a very high frequincy play SB vs CO, we have to fold a very playable hand which dominates a lot of Kx and Qx from 3bet
5) CO vs SB I preffer a much liniar 4bet rather than polarized, so hands like TT-JJ is an easy 4bet
