flicked the switch into god made tonight for a bit, then ran horrendous at the very end. lost aipf KK vs AA, AK vs JJ. lost a buyin with flopped trips vs flopped full house, lost a buyin with top two vs gutshot all in on the turn, lost QQ vs TT to a flopped set in a 4bet pot.... all in less than 200 hands lol. but it's all bound to happen and tbh I'd rather it happens now than at the beginning of a session.

updated graph for today (session 2 begins at ~hand 1650)






+1 buyin at 400nl on natural8. played 14 hours/4k total hands. would've kept playing 1-2 mpre hours but the tables got really bad

Beast day. This is the type of volume I love to see!

Beasting volume. Nice day, tg!

yeee

thanks man, it's about damn time I put some volume in



just played the most absurd hand. thought I was value betting but I bluffed him off a flush. even funnier is that he open mucked it after using the whole timebank. thought this rec was a station but apparently he's nitty as ****. am I going too thin?

Std valuebet, he could still be a station on a lot of spots, recs often follow their reads and could be overly nitty/overly loose even in the same spot, it all depends on how tilted they are atm lol.

most def too thin but given he folded QTs, good for you

would be fine if pot was HU on flop vs BB I guess but 4 way to the flop and getting 2 calls makes your hand much weaker by the river, if anything block betting could be alright

+1 to too thin

thanks for all the responses guys, really appreciate it. flop check is probably the right play anyway (would've checked AK no bdfd). I'm used to people stationing off suuuuper light so I gotta adjust a bit


this spot is obviously completely different but just happened as I was typing. he stationed A7o

Didn't see it was a mw pot lol, yeah, it's thin, but vs stations gotta go for value.

Obv we didn't know this at the time but seeing as he folded a flush don't think we can describe him as a station. One of the dangers of reading too much into small samples.

yeah I def put too much weight into small samples sometimes



I didn't feel like playing today, but I told myself to just play an hour and see how I feel. If I'm playing good/running good and the tables are good I told myself I would keep going. really happy I forced myself, because I caught some heeeeeeeat. tables are horrible today though so I'm done I think





lost 1 buyin at 200nl over 300 hands on natural8 but whooooo caaaares haha

Nice volume! It sounds like you were still in the right mindset if the tables didn't turn less optimal. I'm primarily a live player with some pockets of online play. For me, 14 hours is a huge difference between the formats in terms of mental exhaustion.

yeah I agree in terms of the exhaustion. but live poker bores me so much I can't put in nearly as long of sessions. 6-8 hours feels like a marathon live but once I hit 6 hours online I'm usually cruising and if the tables are good I don't even think of stopping. the constant stream of hands is good for helping my adhd brain stay focused

gunna be a fun night i think

trying to read that natural8 hh is making me dizzy

the guys who wordplay to nattty98 just try to grind rb rake I guess lmao they are horrrrrrriiiiiiiblle? grinded out 4 bb's inrb with abroken ringer. im ****ing pissed. ****ing ******s cant even defend a blind bb with worse than bb.. ****in ******s deserve to get stacked repeatedly

would keep playing if my worse wan;t swollen as ****. gl trying to outplay the regs tmlao tourney regs

+4buyin, rn can't get a full table of 400nl+ sp calling it a night I guess. lol gl all

****in ******s man... wish I could hop into some 500nl but I couldn't get 1 table going. gl to all spewing their stacks off

hehhh you sound wasted

hahaha i am wasted, super wasted. luckily I know better than to play this ****ed up

(ok I tried haha, but I usually know better) the preceding 4 posts are stupid as **** and should be ignored, ty

sometimes I read about/hear about how poker used to be... it's so unmotivating man. hearing about these guys who used to beat 50/100 online and now they struggle with 2/5 live. why was I wasting my time in the good days??

lmao just getting home now buddy, that was a real fun night <3 <3

i guess im gonna miss my first sunday session in a minute, no chance i fall asleep asap and def therefore no chance im up and ready to grind for the milball

gl if you make it up to grind dude

haha yeah, fun night bro. I will likely be missing my first sunday grind in a while too.

I think I need more luck staying off the tables when drunk. somehow tonight I didn't play a single hand drunk but idk how no idea what tilted me so hard because I had a good time tonight (and great sessions lately), but I'm blaming you

just checked natural8 because I figured I must have tilted my roll off but I'm in the black there too
