Ran KK into AA pre, K high flush into A High flush Twice, and set into over set so when i look at it that way I dont feel as bad when i reflected on the session after but in saying that i felt i played 3/10 overall.

BR $80 moving down to NL2 to try build my roll back to $100

Session 7.
First session of NL2 since the drop down.

Should i be set mining pre ?? i do this alot with pocket pairs i call 3-bets if they have over 10x of the 3-bet size behind and try to set mine.

I seen somewhere that you should set mine if they have over 10x of there bet behind maybe that is wrong?

Can the more experienced players tell me the correct way to set mine??

First 10k hands.

Boy that is an ugly graph.

Tips on improving redline?

Set mining is completely standard there. I just wouldn't go overboard and call anything below pocket 7s utg vs mp for example. Because you don't want your range with too many pocket pairs and also villains bluffs will consist of a lot of wheel aces so you don't want his 2-5's blocking your set outs. You also want to dominate his suited connectors like 56, 76 w/ 88-99 etc. Set mining there should lose less than folding there for sure. You'll often check down to showdown and win and flop boards that you can continue on despite not flopping a set.

Redline is irrelevant. There are crushers with sloping, neutral and upward redline.

Thanks man actually makes alot of sense when you explain it like that.

Session 9.

I suck at poker 1 step forward 2 steps back it seems.

Session 10

hey glgl with your challenge, i think you should more open your small blind make it to 2x to steal same as the btn. And call less you're big blind

you need some serious coaching there young grasshopper

GL with the journey!

Thanks for the advice.

haha thank you i think i will need more than luck !

Would you check raise river?

My though process when he called flop after i raised fish who donk min bet.

1. I thought what is he calling here with obviously Ax, slowplaying 6sfull, but i also think he would call 77-99 in position i think he would 3-bet the TT,QQ,KK pre.

2. Goes Check Ckeck to the river.

3. I make the nut straight but if i lead and get raised i think he has to have AJ or AQ combo and 6sfull so i would just end up folding.

So i am wondering would you check raise the river and then fold to a 4bet? am i missing value just calling ? should i get it all in hoping he just has Trip As?




Would you call or fold ?? Villan is 45/28/10 over 30 hands

Open more from sb and btn. Your stats are quite tight. You will auto profit opening late position. If you look at peoples winrates by position, the button is always the highest. That is because we have position on everyone and we often steal the blinds.

KK into AA is very common so I wouldn't bother posting these type of hands.

Hand ten if you are going to check turn I would check river to allow him to bluff.

Hand 9 is fine. Although check calling is an option of you think villain won't fold and avoids getting raised.

Hand 8 is really bad. Look to check flop or turn because we can't go three streets of value and it sucks when he raises us like this. And he doesn't have many flush draws here if you think what he's likely to call your 3bet from UTG, as opposed to if you 3bet sb vs btn and he called as he can have all the AXcc/ suited connector clubs etc etc. Also easy fold at 2nl as you lose to so many hands.

A9cc easy fold. Thin spots like this can be avoided at nanostakes because easy low variance value can be had at 2nl. I think population at microstakes tend to underbluff as well (in my opinion). You can fold this hand preflop though which is what I would recommend, as you'll run into higher Ax way too often.

Session 12.

Not much profit but very happy in how i played.
