Hello 2+2. So this isn't my first PG&C, but as I finally have an idea of how I should approach poker, I might as well start a blog for it (it seems that I really can't stay away from this forum).

Short backstory:

I started at 2z last year with a 40$ roll grinding it up to around 1.5k$. In this time I've learned a lot about how I should treat poker, by lots of trial and error.

Plans for 2018:

Simply getting better and progressing while still enjoying it. Poker is really the game I enjoy the most, but this doesn't mean, that I will not work hard on progressing.

I have decided to 'reset' everything related to poker, and start with exactly 1k$ for 10z. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Good luck!

30/3-2/4

Wp with the 99 a lot of people miss that valuebet, you could raise turn for value with JJ/AT too

Looks solid man, keep it up!

I think the bet sucks balls (), if betting id prefer a smeller size but rather not.
You have range advantage on this board but ur in the bottom of your range at river and fi has fired 2 street and borth straight/flush and boat cards has landed that fits your range well.

Fi should be check calling alot of hands that beat us and also have some check/raises on this river. Therefore i dont like betting, he had like the one hand we can get value from with this sizeing all other hands beat us or will raise us. Just rambling but should be making some amount of sense i dunno :P

I was bluffing with 99. That's at least what I thought.

Thank you.

lol, it's a valuebet imo haha

Then it all makes sense! I was answering to the comment about the hand abviously, but as per my reasoning your in your bottom of your range so makes sense to make that a bluff actually.. maybe a bigger sizeing tho but well played

Legit thought I was good here after making my ''fake'' tank. MP was heavily tanking as well, karma I guess.

Sick volume and decent results any plans on moving up soon?

Thanks, will be moving up to 16z when I hit the 1.6k$ bankroll.

I'm currently searching for a study partner (can also be a study group), who plays 10z on Stars.

Requirements:

- Should be beating (+ 0 EV bb/100) 10z on Stars.
- Should be very serious, and put in lots of time.

I'm at around 3 EV bb/100 over my last 100k samples.

Send me a message if you're interested.
