So annoying to have to quit sessions because of lag -.-
Roll is at $4.1k, will play 50z only this weekend, maybe next week will try 100z again

Some hands

H1: vs unknown, not folding, I feel like these guys don't valuebet thin OTR and are afraid with their overpairs, maybe he could have worse for value too

H2: vs massive whale, good call OTT? I didn't expect him to just bet any2 cards, thought he was mostly bluffing or valuebetting 2p+, OTR decided to not bluff because I don't think he is folding a chop, so it's always -EV for me imo

H5: vs unknown shaping to be a whale, good fold? I think checking turn is mandatory vs these guys, gotta induce vs them and they overstab like crazy for protection and once we jam they just hate folding haha. Also we get more value off their bluffs.
OTR even though we got insane odds, can't see someone valuebetting worse or bluffing here

H6: vs 32/28 with very low fold to 3-bets but with passive stats post-flop, what should I do here? My post-flop stats aren't reliable and betting small to fold could induce bluffs, he has so many busted FDs in his range that I thought it was better to x/c. Obv pio x/c this, but meh. Tough spot.

Maybe. But what I know he is, is an INTP. Really there's not a lot of difference.

if theres one thing i know for sure is that you have the strangest categories for opponents lol.

"massive whale, doesnt bet any2 here" - wat. If you think thats a spot massive whales only bet 2pair or pure air then you might want to rethnk things a lil different.

How do you know that? Haha

Yeah, my read was quite off in that one, they bet anything in there

We are easy to spot if you look for the right things lol

Whatever that was the last time I actually give feedback. Myself and others have tried to give actual advice but this thread is only useful for its entertainment value.

You are too ****ing arrogant and narcissistic to ever actually go up in stakes. You don't put in the volume and I know as soon as you get to nl100 or 200 or whatever you will just tilt and spew back to nl50.

Why is it good? This is a really common thing for you to do make some really strong statement as though it's absolute truth. You've been stuck at micros for years now it's on you to show why your strategy is correct.

Honestly it is pretty hard to understand why you did that. Even if we are playing a solver strategy it's going to be a super low frequency bluff spot...maybe none. Someone can be a crushing reg and have no bluffs in a spot.

Also I play much higher stakes with a much higher winrate than you so if you want to mock my poker ability where does that leave you?


Not going to give him that much credit. Maybe tell him he played more hands well to inflate his ego?

Sowiet wings does that small sizing vs aggro whales and he is very strong vs fish, I trust him on that one.

I don't care about which stakes you play, a lot of the things you talk about make 0 sense to me, AQ is a good raise OTT specially given the positions/how tight I will defend pre and the flop vs that guy. Vs btn or CO calling is decent because of sdv, but people go nuts ott anyway and are weak for that sizing.

And I underbluff a lot, but a lot of the times I underbluff I plan it and have a reason for that, in that spot you're just underbluffing for no reason which is a weakness, specially in a spot where the pool already underbluffs, making it way worse.

It's not a spot I want to underbluff it's just poor hand selection (e.g. spew) by you cause we lack nut outs and don't block much of continuation range.

quick question why do you call turn on first hand with A high sorry if dumb question i am a fish.

but just curious as to why you called as you kinda only beat a pure bluff dont you (something like what you holding) and your out of position and even his semi bluffs are hardly bluffs really either or have good chance as hed be drawing to nutty hands too and hes gonna have lotta made hands already pre too right, and its highly unlikely hes just gonna c/f on a brick right even if flush gets there hes sort of got good bluff hand.
and even if you improve what do you improve too nothing strong.
or was it a call cause turn checked? but even then your behind alot more times than ahead no argh i dunno

idk "curious" "sorry" and "dunno" aren't in mirage's vocabulary.

In the first hand I have an overpair, so maybe you're talking with the AK hands?

I feel like a more straightforward player will bet air or straights in there, also with a tight defense range his range will have way more Axs/broadways which I'm ahead of and he will end up overuffing by a lot in there if he always fire those and won't valuebet TP/2p+. Otr I feel like calling is better than folding vs his size, but jamming is better than both since I expect that he won't have a calling range vs a jam after he bet for that sizing (showing me he doesn't have a flush, these guys always go big when they have a flush)

0% he is mirage, his thought process actually makes sense haha. No way mirage could make a post where he discuss strat like that with details

rapid, would you say you tilt quite a bit? and if so, why and under what circumstances do you tilt?

I rarely tilt and when I do it's more like myself playing weaktight poker, folding more hands than I should, fighting less for pots. I think I haven't gone on monkey tilt mode where I spew stacks all day for more than a year.


As crazy as it sounds those crazy huge bluffs are calculated and based on logic

The thing that tilts me the most is when someone makes a very light call when I'm bluffing, also when I valuebet thin otr and get called by the nuts. I don't tilt much after losing flips/getting called by std calls when I'm bluffing.

I just dont understand how you can claim your logic is always sound when you can't seem to get past 50nl, and have the audacity to constantly berate people who have proven to be winners in stakes you can't seem to reach

Well played.

Such a condescending hating troll you are. Shame.

edit: He's only at 50z cause he has been running bad for ever. If he ran at his true winrate he'd be crushing 200z.

My volume is very low, it takes a while to get to the long run, also I was wrong a lot and corrected lots of mistakes after I bought pio.

I don't respect a player's argument just because he is successful, he might be wrong in some spots and those weren't the ones that got them there, I respect logic only and his logic didn't make much sense. Just see when I was discussing with danmerrr in the high stakes thread last month, I still think his play was bad despite him showing a "pio does that 15% of the time, so it was good".

yes, but at this point you are just stubborn and ALWAYS try to defend your own plays. You might want to google 'confirmation bias'

jfc.

You rarely tilt? Because I've seen you post a fair few hand histories saying "played tilted, spewed off so many stacks" or words to that effect.

With low volum you should have way more pluss days then standing still if you had and edge. And you talk about yourself like youre on another level then anyone. Facts and truth of every play. Still nada. You have almost 2million hands there isent any excuse for not being at msnl anymore. You are slow minded and not very good.

Blame volum and rake. All of us has those problema you blame for being stuck.

You are very arrogant and tilting. USE your 2+2 volum around the tables instead of being a pussy and hide behind excuses

I don’t understand why u still think that danmer play was so bad. Pio clearly prefered that combo over one u suggested. Ofc danmer didn’t know the exact freq but prob realized he needed to bluff it some of the time. If pio doesn’t agree with ur logic, maybe ur logic isn’t right?

Spew is just a bad play with bad logic, you can make spews without being tilted imo. And I said I was tilted, just not on monkey tilt mode spazz vamo

If pio advise to bluff 15%, you're making a bigger mistake to bluff with it 100%, also some of those combos checked flop/turn, I was wrong with the other blockers I said could be an alternative, but I said that we shouldn't do much bluffing with the Ad in there anyways.


While the internet is terrible I'll make a quick update, not sure if will be able to play more today.

Roll is at $4k

Some hands

H1: not today! haha, vs passive fish

H4: vs reg, not sure if this is good or not, I expect him to just bet a lot with AK OTF and thought he would x flop with his 3-bet bluffs that didn't connect well/midpairs. OTT it's quite loose but I don't hate it, I will check back flop a lot here and will have lots of flushes calling turn, thought he was more weighted towards a bluff and went for the float to try to rebluff him/ check if I got trips/straight/2p
