xD

It shouldn't matter much the hands I post here, because most of those sick plays are rare, I'm not 2x potting the river that much, maybe once every 1-2k handsn Also 50z pool is very big, it's hard to get involved in pots vs the same player. Second, I play 30-40k hands/month on average, people should target regs that put sick volume like ammadnav, nathana2, naphilnick666 on 200z, on 50z it doesn't make sense to study a reg's game to counter him.

Also it looks like I'm a maniac, but in fact my game is pretty straightforward, I think that there are some 45 wwsf guys that bluff way more than I do in most spots(in %), because they don't valuebet thin enough, since I valuebet super thin, I should bluff a bit more and overall my game ends up looking more aggressive. But it's not easy to figure out a strat to beat me by looking at the hands I post here, since that's a very small sample compared to how my game is.

There are some hands that can give you hints on how my ranges play in some spots/some exploits I'm opening myself to, but most people won't be able to figure out a counterstrat for that or will pay me off in spots they shouldn't by leveling themselves.

so I ran hot in that sample, my winrate at 50z is around 3bbev over 280k hands. Also posting hands here(specially highly sensitive hands, like super explo folds which 0 people post on 2+2 other than I) is super +EV, most of what I learned came from advice I've received in this thread.

I've never faked a hand in this thread, everything is legit

the only hand I've faked was once when I min 6-bet the flop at 25z and switched the names of hero and villain to linus and otb and posted in the high stakes thread lol.

Ok, I was really thinking you were trolling everyone lol. 3 evbb/100 doesn´t look so bad. Considering what some people were saying about your HHs, I was expecting less. Gl and keep improving.

Yeah, that high stakes post just showed how much ego you have. You can't just contain your filth to PGC. Gotta go there and pretend you saw a hand so people can wonder wtf was going on in your hand like you're some kind of wizard. That really sums up why you'll always be stuck making no money. Always looking to make a sick play and get validation instead of looking to make money.

Good comment, even seems come with a bit of hate xD
You have opened my eyes a little, I need to work on that, there is not much talk of ego in poker world, or at least I do not see it.
Sometimes people say how competitive they are, as a "quality" that makes them crush, I guess competitive equal to big ego, so I'm doubting that what they say has any sense, luckily for me because I do not have that "quality" xD I want to look deep on that, the ego it seems something stupid and harmful for everything in life, but who knows the same I'm surprised

It's also something that worried me before, beyond poker. Every time I like this game more, it makes learn and apply very important things about life very fast, It makes you question yourself about them without needing to take a slap in your life or something like that, big love for that game and for coments as yours who open eyes

lol, chill out a bit, man, I already knew the hand was terribly played by my opponent and I and thought it would be fun to see people analyzing a hand played by 2 donks while thinking it was played by top players instead haha

Could you post link plz?

it was so long ago, it was like march last year, people didn't say much about the hand, most posted things like "lol", one guy said "wow, this otb hand looks like a 2011 hand" haha

Beyond the hand, you have a problem with the ego rapid, if the solvers and everyone tells you not to open 22 utg, why do you insist on opening 22 utg?
I already know what your answer is, I read it ahah, you understand what I mean now
The biggest problem with poker and ego (specially yours) think a lot in stupid things, ignoring a solver and everyone in something like the MP open raise is suicidal only from the point of view of lost time , there is no money to do that, on the contrary, you are losing tons of money doing this (only using the movement as an example, i do not want to back in to 22 hands )

Solvers are right only if I'm facing opponents playing an optimal strategy, people at the games I play won't punish me for opening that hand. MMAsherdog said that you should RFI 22 from UTG on 200z, he said that it makes money in those games.

So should I listen to a solver just for the sake of it or should I trust one of the best players in the world?

And everyone has a problem with ego, you and isolated probably have too, because you're all trying to look good while telling that I have that problem. I'm at least aware of that problem and am really trying to work on it.

Maybe you have not read my previous comment, just a little higher, in which I say that I also have that problem and I thank isolate for opening my eyes.

maybe you have not read the part of this comment (2 times) in which I tell you that I did not want to go back to 22. But let's go back, if you want

You should conform to the solvers in the open raise of MP, precisely because there is nothing to exploit here, spend your energy on trying to overcome solver strategy is stupid for this reason

Also the hands that masherdogg can make profitable have nothing to do with what you can do profitable

Sometimes you talk about the high rake to argue some of your movements, but sometimes you forget about it on purpose to be able to argue too, do you see the ego here or not yet?

I don't believe you for a second. Nice try though, you can keep trolling the masses with your "hand histories".

This is the hand?

yes, lol, your stalking skills are insane!

you know that by saying that, my HHs are even sicker than they are if they aren't fake, right?

which hhs do you think are fake?

No, im not saying that at all. You seem to get a kick out of posting awful hands and getting reactions. You also literally just admitted to editing hands. It would stand to reason that you may also be editing your own hands. The only part that has me stumped is that you're still at 50nl, so maybe you're just terrible?

About 35.0% of them.

point them and I'll prove you they are legit!

Thirty five point zero??
Thats very precise for an estimation.



Why do u people bother reading someones blog if you dislike them?
Isnt it easier to just not read it at some point?
Wouldnt you rather have some quality time?
What does it say about you?

Rapidesh, go your way whatever they say.
Your game is nowhere near where it needs to be but you do have the
capacities to improve. Once u combine what u know, add more knowledge
to, improve on your frequencies - you are going to be a more complete player
with a lot of tools in your arsenal. People who never went out of the box - ***
em. Let em die in their little box.

PS:
Id like to encourage u to try new things - just for yourself.
When my former coach was talking about how the 30% IP cbet was
going to be std one day, and how limping strat BvB is going to become
common ppl were screaming OUTRAGE. Failure is part of process, failure is even necessary. And there is no prize too high for additional
insights - insights that can only be obtained by experimenting.
GL!

Didn't know you were a science guy, orojanivu!

Thanks, will keep doing my best to improve!
And yeah, those guys who are afraid of crashing will always be at the same level, imo it's better to risk failure than to never be able to succeed. Every time I take a shot and fail at least I improved somewhere in my game and will go back stronger the next time.

Vaaaamoooi

So here is the first time of my study to improve how I'm using my HUD, will post the stats in the pop-up I use the most. Btw, does anyone here know how can I find post-flop aggression factor? I know total AF is useless, but the post-flop AF is a good indicator of how much people are bet-folding or stationing. Any suggestion of any stat that is useful and I'm not using already? I've excluded the normal ones I have in my HUD, like PFR, fold to steal, cbet flop and turn, fcbet flop and turn, 3-bet, f3b and some other ones(I use only 13 stats in my HUD, so rely a bit in my pop-up which is very inneficient atm, it's the default pt4 one)



4bet+ after raising
fold to 4-bet after 3-bet

I'll add these stats to my pop-up that I wasn't using

Call steal from BB vs BTN(not sure if PT4 has this) - won't add this to the pop-up, will use it directly in the HUD
donk turn
probe bet turn

Stats I'll try to create:
% of the time villain cbets flop for a small sizing
% of the time villain overbets the turn compared to <100% sizing

I'll have until the end of the month to make these ones happen, if I can't I'll give up on those.

Just so you know, my goal here during this week is to think about which stats I shouldn't be using at all, given I don't buy hand histories, so a lot of stats could be useless/noise/misleading. But even though it looks like some stats like river raise would be useless, if I find someone with (2/2) river raise, it's way more likely that that person could have bluffs in his range, since that stat should be on average very small, like 5%. So even though the sample size to get an accurate river raise stat is insanely big, if I can find a huge distortion even on a small sample, it could be still very useful.

Ofc I'm not sure about that, but it's just a theory, I'll have to make the math for that and see if it works. The goal here is to clean up as many useless stats as I can, while trying to get more efficient use of the ones I already have and to be able to make better assumptions over villain's ranges with those(like if villain folds a lot to cbet OTF, then his donkbets should be stronger).

It will be challenging, because even though I've studied engineering, statistics/probability has always been my nemesis, it's the part of math that I have most trouble in learning.

I'll start with the ones that should be less relevant first(river stats) tomorrow, will try to cover all those stats in the next 4 days and will take saturday and sunday to develop my new pop-up!

Lel. I'm finally starting to like you rapid.

lol, now that I look at it, it looks like I'm trolling him, but it was legit what I said: people usually learn about margin of error by studying science during the university(I learned that in physics lab). Since orojanivu knows what margin of error is, he probably went to the university, probably studied physics, chemistry or engineering.

HAHAHA VAMOOOOOOOO














VAAAAAMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
