^^^thanks for the comments Solid, some of the strat talk is a little over my head but I'm going to re-read all these posts tomorrow when I'm feeling a bit fresher and hopefully it won't seem so much like a foreign language!

Played for 3hrs today to complete the volume goal. It was a roller-coaster but unfortunately didn't end well at all. Last few hundred hands were fairly brutal.

H1 - Against a rando with normal looking stats. Can I fold river or is it just a cooler?

H3 - Lost a bit of value on river vs their exact hand, but had it in my head I was v-betting vs JJ and TT given their line, and also wanted to leave myself room to decide vs CRAI.

H5 - Awkward. Was happily folding turn to a lot of bet-sizes. Tanked for ages on river, maybe I just have to call but I don't know, doesn't seem like a line anyone takes with a garbage ace. At same time I expect the boats and flushes that flop c/r reps to go bigger for value on this runout.

H6 - I have a hard-time making hero-calls but I felt pretty good about this one. Had some timing tells that thankfully turned out to be right. Flop call is lightening quick and I don't expect any sets to call so fast on this board especially. They'd at least consider raising. The river bet was also quick and, providing my timing read was correct, my thinking was they could have turned a set of 9s (1 combo), turned top 2 (2 combos of T9s) or much less likely turned straights with J8s and 86s, whereas they can have 65s, a bunch of heart-draws, and possibly a slowplayed AA or KK. I don't expect QQ/JJ to bet river so quickly as they surely have a decision to make as to whether to bet and for how much. So even without considering AKo and AQo that tilt-call flop I think it's a reasonable call.

H7 - Vs a reg. Before the rec cold-calls I'm folding but think I have to call. I actually think turn-jam is decent. We can have A3s and A2s + 55 and 44 that I'd play exactly this way, and I'm never jamming JJ-77 either so I think they should've at least had a decision to make, but the reg snap-called. Unblocking is def good for them. Shame we don't get there.

Great thread, subbed & GL!

Actually looking at the SPR again, I think XJ would be fine, you sort of have to go broke either way, but its not a spot I would be happy in deep with QQ against a villain that can have any 2 cards, which Is why I don't think its an auto 4 bet spot just because its QQ.

ATdd hand should always be just calling turn imo. Villain´s line is very strong vs 2 opponents on the flop and barreling turn, and I wouldn´t expect many bet/folds in here. You have some minimal showdowon value vs smaller flush draws and still have 3 aces as outs most of the times, so I would never jam this combo. Would be way better to shove a hand like 78dd imo, cause you have no showdown value, your overcards arent as clean and you fold out more better hands from villain

Hi ShellysAshes, good luck with your grind.

I'm inclined to agree with someonegood for the hand above, can probably assume the average V is underbluffing so we can make a slightly +EV call (shoving is surely fine vs a good player though).

However, correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not sure that the hands you mentioned (weak PP's and suited wheel aces) are +EV calls preflop. I can get behind the PP's if the rec is 100BB deep but still wouldn't call A5-2s.

Hand 11 is quite interesting. I'm not at all concerned about AKs, we're so far ahead of everyone I think it's a mandatory 4bet. My concern is what to do with AKo. My line of thinking is: I don't want to flat out of position (with such a strong hand) with so many others seeing a flop, I also don't want to 4bet to a non-AI sizing and face a 5bet AI against unknowns. Therefore, I quite like just having a 4b jam range. I would go with QQ+ and AK (we're using all AKo to make a 100BB villain somewhat indifferent to calling their own AKo). The coldcallers are >100BB but I don't think we care, we just take their money! If MP was >100BB it's a completely different story of course.

I think all the other hands are fine. Take my advice with a pinch of salt though, I'm not exactly a crusher

Ty sir, means a lot.




Ye I have no idea if 4b or flat is correct and I'm sure there are much better players than me with conflicting answers. My read was that I expected this player to make some loose calls IP vs the 4b with hands they should probably just fold, stuff like AJo and KQo, and I expected them to always bet stuff like KJs and AJo on turn, and any draws like KQ, KTs. I think it makes sense for them to check-back with the 9x though? Maybe they can bet small for protection vs my AK with intention of checking river unimproved.




Good reasoning. Thinking about it now it's also debatable for me to have the lowest PPs as I often fold them UTG, although if there's a fish in the bb with a larger stack I'll most likely opt for the loose open.




All advice is welcome, I'm far from a crusher too so we're in same boat.

As mentioned in the above reply it's actually debatable for us to have some of the monster hands we're looking to rep, and like you say when the cold-calling rec has only 40bb or so it would make our decision to flat with the A5s-A2s extremely questionable unless we know that the 3bettor is particularly weak.

The AKs hand was a complete head****. As I already mentioned, I think it's quite unfortunate that AKo with 170bb or w/e decided to get it in. I think that's garbage from them and deserved to be actually dominated rather than merely dominated by my range. Still super-unsure about what my 4b size should be with AA/KK/AKs though, wouldn't mind feedback on that.



-----

Still can't get imgur to work, the security certificate from my ISP's content control is invalid for some reason. Most likely something to do with my ****ty ISP ballsing up, but hopefully it'll be sorted later.


Settling in for a good few hours grind now before I play squash tonight, and then will be playing for a bit after too. Should hit 5hrs at least today, hopefully more.


Will post some hands when I finish in about 12hrs.

Just used vodafone live chat to resolve the issue with accessing imgur, which was caused by a security certificate error. It took about an hour for the prick assisting me to give me about 4 commands that resolved the issue. The mother****er literally had me waiting 7 or 8 minutes between each message he typed. If there's any UK grinders out there who ever need info on ISPs, my advice is to pay the extra money to go with a reputable ISP like virgin rather than join vodafone for cheaper. They are a ****ing sick joke.


Anyway, as promised here are the stats from the last goal-period that I was unable to post yesterday.


Graph for Mon 9/9/18 to Thu 13/9/18



Breakdown by Day




-----

I've played for about 1.5hrs so far today. Should've been more but I've just missed out on about an hours worth of grind-time to get ****ty ****ing vodafone to resolve a very simply fixed issue.

I was also playing so bad earlier it's untrue so I'm well behind schedule for the day and in a fairly poor mental state. Got a squash game in an hour and a half so I think I'll go relax and just try to salvage some hours later on tonight when I've de-stressed and don't feel like punching anything that moves.

Played for another hour or so after squash but the internet is now dropping out which is super-tilting, and super-suspicious considering what happened earlier with vodafone live-chat. Even though I had endless issues with them in first 6 months of contract I actually managed to get some progress over the last few months after ringing them and expressing my anger at their service. Had basically no issues since then, but now after raging at this piss-taker earlier, who was clearly just pressing the spacebar to make it look like he was replying whilst actually playing copter or jacking off or w/e, my service has been dropping out tonight.


FWIW when I was a younger man (boy) I used to rage hard in chat whilst playing poker, like literally some of the most disgusting things you could say, but I never do that anymore and don't even think of opponents as anything but characters in a computer game. But this ****er earlier rubbed me up the wrong way and, whilst not being close to as sickening as I used to be on online poker tables, I was still pretty angry and effing and blinding in the chat.


Anyway I'm calling it a night. It's been a bit of a ****ty day on the tables although I don't think I've lost much because I actually got lucky in a few spots. But I played as spewy and as thoughtlessly as I have for a while tonight and I suspect that I'm possibly a bit burnt out.


Will take it a bit easier than I was planning over the next couple of days and just try to focus on playing as close to A-game as possible rather than pushing volume. Then I'll take a few days off on Monday/Tuesday to recharge.


Anyway here are some of the hands. Flame away. Volume today btw was 2hrs 49mins.

H1 - No idea what rec is 3b/folding on turn. Not sure about my decision to 4b-jam but I think it's probably fine?

H6 - No idea what I'm doing calling this river vs some fish. The plan was to just stab small then giveup. They have so many BDFD that get there, especially ones with Ts in hand, and probably nowhere near enough bluffs + probably a bunch of dumb bluffs that I still lose to. Although given that they checked a FD I suppose they could play all their broadway draws this way too, but I wasn't to know that at the time and it's still bad with that information.

H8 - Think pre is fine vs some aggro-seeming rec. Only got 14 hands on sb, think flat is fine after opener flats. Post is most likely horrible seeing as AK and AA surely make up a huge part of their range here and they prob don't even bet if they have QQ or JJ. Just shooting blind and hoping for the best. Deserved to get it in against AQdd really.

H9 - Vs some bad-reg who called so quickly you'd think they had the immortal nuts. I think that their bet-size on river is so strong it's clear they've got a flush, so for us to go trying to rep the NF, whilst totally credible, is just a dumb FPS move that isn't going to work against many players. Just a lack of discipline on my behalf to think this could possibly work against some donut on a heater.

Yoo, didn't end up grinding earlier today as I played squash, went mate's house to watch Stoke, then fell asleep from exhaustion when I got home as the squash match was brutal. Woke up in the wee hours so decided to have a few clicks before bed again.

Played for 1hr 50mins in total and ran pretty bloody good. Must've made about 5BI in 800 or so hands. Feels good man.



-----

H1 - Early in session. Think it's beyond garbage from the reggish CO to flat JJ here. SB is a rando. Tempting to just pile it in on flop, and on a lower board I might (whilst still being worried about CO having AA) but think laydown is fine after sb flats the flop bet.

H2 - Struggle in these spots. Obv if we know they can pile their GSSDs here then it's an ez call but I didn't know that for certain, just suspected it. I also tanked a bit before deciding turn-sizing so factored in UTG might be perceiving weakness and doing something like this.

H8 - Would expect this player to be 3b pre with all flop 2pr and set combos (especially this deep) so was semi-confused. Is there a case for 3b the flop ever? If I had to guess by river I'd say they flopped a straight or had the NFD, T9hh or T8hh hence the 75% river bet. Not an overly aggro player, low WWSF and AFq so I think hero-calling river would've been atrocious.

-----

I've been having a think about how I'm approaching things and I feel like I need to take it easier on Mon-Thu to stay fresh for the more +EV weekend grind. It's difficult as there's so much going on for me at weekends, but I definitely need to change my approach a bit. The week just gone I worked extremely hard Mon-Thu but putting in long sessions multiple days in a row really takes it out of me, so moving forward I'll be aiming to put in about 4.5hrs each day. That's totally manageable and should prevent from burning out so much + should lead to a higher EV when I do grind, rather than having a situation like Friday where I just burn money.


Not sure how much I'll be grinding tomorrow but I'll definitely have a few clicks. Will also drop in and review the goals I set on Thursday. Mostly failed them but will review and set some new ones anyway.

skimmed over hands so many sizing mistakes on certain textures/preflop errors, how is your red/blue line doing overall the red looks to be quite bad.

Showdown is positive, without showdown is negative. Your criticism is worthless without content. Quote a hand and tell me why it’s bad and what I should do differently.

H1 wp

H2- squeeze pre, OTT x/c is better imo, gotra get more value vs his floatsand lose less vs AK, also if he x back he mostly has weak sdv and you can valuebet the river. Much easier to play in that way, because you're in the dark if he jams on you OTT.

H4- fold pre

H6- I think it's a call OTR, the K blocks so much of his value otf/ott, also fish are wide on their donks, most of them will keep bluffing the busted FD.

It's not worthless I've told you what you were doing wrong figure it out, not running a charity here...your responses were less descriptive than mine.

Cheers mate.



It's 100% worthless. And the fact that you're the equivalent of a b/e 2nl reg @ trolling leads me to suspect you wouldn't be in a position to give charitable poker advice even if you wanted to.

It's not. Your ignorance is though, you're upset at me for dissing your Queen gazzybusto, Not my fault you're trash and stubborn.

Sup. Didn't grind for long today. Bit of an embarrassing weekend wrt volume but, as I said in a previous post, I'm reassessing my approach during weekdays and am going to start pacing myself much more sensibly to ensure I'm fresh for the softer weekend games. Was pretty burnt out by Friday and just playing awful, D- game poker.


Only grinded for 52mins earlier before squash. Played good, ran ****ty and paid back the AIEV I binked on Friday. I've also been getting ridiculously tired after squash, like falling asleep standing up sort of stuff. I'm thinking my nutrition needs to come into question because, as brutal a sport as squash is, if it's making me too tired to be productive post-game then I'm definitely doing something wrong as that hasn't been an issue in the past.



-----

H1 - Tight-fold but I don't see what makes this c/r that I beat, maybe a small number of weaker PPs + I've still got the BTN rec to worry about. Obv super-tilting when they show 8s and Js but I think that's much rarer than the c/r being a set or better.

Graph for Fri 14/9/18 to Sun 16/9/18





Breakdown by Day

H1-3bet size could be bigger,flop is a xc you don't have sets(they do)/you unblock the spades/bd hearts.
H2-w/e
H3-Yep flop raise sux,Turn size don't have to be pot,River bet seems ok/jam most rivers don't think so what worse is calling?
H4-Can bet turn 1/3, as for river I'm calling it's co vs sb not co vs utg/mp ranges are wider.
H5-Ez youy say...XC the flop or go big 3/4>pot not 1/3.

Ty for the feedback.

So the plan for the coming week is to grind more consistent hours to prevent burnout. I'll be aiming for roughly 4.5hrs grind each day on Mon-Thu, and then 12 hrs over the weekend which works out at 30hrs. I'm also picking up with the fitness and nutrition grind this week so stopping myself from putting in too many daily poker hours will give me a bit of time to unwind at the end of each day, and I'm sure that should help with on-table performance. Hoping this will prove to be the case anyway. If tweaking this aspect of my approach unlocks greater consistency then it'll be a huge win.


I've also been toying with the idea of starting to mix in a 3rd table as I'm feeling more comfortable and roll is getting healthier (around 45BIs) but I'm going to hold off another week at least as we're still not out of the woods yet in terms of running into a horror-show and having to drop back down. Would also like to re-model my colour coding system before increasing table-count as it could be much better than it currently is, and obv that would help a great deal with multi-tabling.

such as one guy in my discord who is says we should always cbet 1/3 regardless of board texture

Sounds suicidal and a strat someone who is clueless on textures would employ.

OP is in a discord with Rapi.

slow playing too much and sizings are too small with nutty hands and you're trying to "trap" too much (hence the slow playing)

like the top set w/JJ hand you get raised OTT on a wet board, just jam that **** they can have all 2 pairs and sets and pair + combo draws type hands that will call you and there is literally half the deck you don't want to see OTR - also when they raise OTT and then x river on 4 to st8 with no flush I would always value bet top set for 1/3 and basically bet/fold bc sometimes they think they're being cute by x'ing to induce your broken flush bluffs. But you shouldn't have gotten into that situation to begin with.

Fold more to 3bets

Why are you x/raising a horrible backdoor draw OOP like 8dTd after making bad call pre to 3 bet that is the definition of spew and then when you hit a bad turn card you spew more lol

Or someone that thinks GTO has merit at anything below 500z

Wet textures = more combo's villain calls with so if you have nutty hand and bet 1/3 that means you're losing money.

^^^no I'm not in a discord with Rapidesh though I would be very happy to be

and yes I agree that maybe some of the advice I've been given is advanced strategy that's filtered down from much higher stakes and doesn't apply down where I play, so will seek to cut that **** out, just a bit bewildered in a lot of spots at this point in time but ABC is almost always going to be optimal so I need to remember that

Following any sort of Rapi strat advice will be very detrimental to your game, you should avoid his thread & any outside comms with him outside of 2+2, imo.

Most think he's a troll, but regardless reading his advice and trying to implement it into your game will be like a cancer.

Though he is one of the Star's most balanced river regs so there's that.
