Hi everyone
15 years ago I creat blog which was popular at one other poker site and after 5-6 years I stopped to post there
Now I feel like I need to post my hands and share psychological condition with community again
English is not my native language, sorry if I write something with bad gramma or simply hard to understand
I playing live
For the past 8 months I lost a lot and now playing 5-10 at Bellagio trying to recover my bankroll and psychological condition
Besides poker I made horrible financial decisions this year and kind of In trouble
The far we go here, the more info I will share
Thank you for attention

Ps: this secret blog I dedicate to my wife, love you, honey bee ❤️

And I will reserve that spot for future

What do you guys think about this typical off line preflop scenario:
Ep raise, got bunch of callers hero bb 67o 78o 89o t9o jto
Do you guys defend here? lets say 2+ callers from open position include one fish

Same question about k2-k8s on bu vs ep raise and 2-3 callers

What are the remaining stacks in the 99 hand?

Betting like half pot seems ok.

In the Pre flop scenarios I fold in both.

What game were you playing prior to the Bellagio 5/10?

It was 30, 3bet 100, cold call, 4bet 400 from original raiser I call
Cbet 200 I call
So it 1300 in pot And 1600 in stack ish

Not a big deal, just testing forum)

Experience telling be that kxs banana call on bu if you 4th+ quite normal way to gamble)
Better then calling on bb offsuite connectors in multi-way

First time since I went down to 5-10 was stacked today

Bellagio changed 5-10 game buy in from 400-1500, to 800-2500, should be better for the game

Such hand:
4000 eff
Hero raise sb 70 aks, straddle young reg raise 210, hero raise 670 call
Flop: aj8o bet 340 call
Turn: 5o bet 820 all in hero call
Run it once river blanc, opponent had ajs
Normal play if I pay him with aks there… should fold, didn’t realised how big is all in to pot for That spot, or?…
Any opinions?

Observation
200bb deep sb vs co and hj ako approximately same frequency of 5bet
But on board 247s vs co it’s 100% dbet 1/10 while on same board vs hj it’s 100% x
It’s prove perfectly theorem:
If you have set advantage in 4bet pot oop go 1/10 db

Does your wife like the "Moonlight Sonata." I took up playing the piano specifically to learn this song. As I practiced in a rec center with a stage piano, a guy who worked there came in and said, "When I was a boy I used to have a tree fort between mine and a neighbors house. I used to sit up there and listen to him play this song obsessively." I put the story in a synchronicity chapter. The song is mesmerizing to me. My first teacher dumped on it saying it was almost like a joke to musicians. FIRED.
