will not be touching them anytime soon!

hehe, there's plenty more things going on besides the low volume on the tables y'know...

Yea, same for me; AA+ from now on imo

Hey,

If anyone needs some free $ just come play 200z, I'm handing it away atm

Feb so far:


Playing ok, probably around a 7/10; still a lot of room for improvement. One mistake I'm repeatedly guilty of is playing too fast and (naturally) regretting it soon after when I spot something out; most notably when I check too fast, without first thinking about whether or not it ties in with my overall strategy. Sure, small mistakes like that are so infinitesimal that they shouldn't matter, but, being a wee bit OCD, they really trigger me, and making the same mistake time and time again, regardless of its consequence(s), isn't acceptable, at least it isn't to me.

This post isn't intended to be a big moan about how I lost x bi's over y hands, and I apologise if it comes across that way. One of the reasons I made this blog (can I call it that?) was to read back on it in a few years from now - I've always wrote personal journals since a young teenager. Plus, there's always the incentive of it potentially helping someone going through a similar turmoil.

Plan will be to continue grinding today and take Monday/Tuesday off to study. This is as per routine and not just because I lost a bit - Monday/Tuesday will become just Monday in due course.

TL;DR
- Lost a bit
- Played badly, but not that badly
- Random Poker player moan
- Plan to study it all over Monday/Tuesday
(- still feel super blessed in the grand scheme of things, so there's always that to motivate myself! )

Some HH's:
1. Vs reg. was wp according to pio, so at least I got that right

2. Vs reg. Not sure if this is misplayed, will pio

3. vs weak reg. I bet he feels so good about the turn check back, despite it being terrible! *tilt*

4. vs reg. misplayed ott, but river is always a slamdunk

5. I did win some. vs fellow pgc'er

6. Vs weak nit reg. felt so good stacking him when he has absolutely 0 bluffs otr

7. faded the last sec call *whewww*

8. vs reg (lol). no credit!!!


That's it for now, goooooood luck!!!

If watch those 200z regs on twitch (you do) who win at 5bb, you should be aware they don't float in the first hand, and don't play 96o in the bb. In fact I rarely see them doing big idiot bluffs that you probably do every 5 minutes. They seem to play very solid to me, and i assume profit off the idiot regs who try and play like otb.

H3 was pretty bad imo. How were you expecting to get all the money in, against a weak reg by taking a xc line oop there? Also what worse hand were you expecting to be called by when you jam river? He played it exactly like what he had.

What would you do with 96o BB vs SB 2.5x open mirage, please enlighten us

its zoom, why bother wasting your time playing that trash, vs any open size?

Both plays are fine.

according to those Monker 500z GTO ranges 96o is -1.11bb against a 3bb open, should be fine to play against 2.5bb and a little more rake.

I only know of two regs that play 200 on twitch, and both are nitty.

Not sure which street you are referring to in the AJ hand; flop is very standard and turn is close, but must be defended at >0%. 96o is a defend to 2.5x. I also disagree with your thoughts about both of them playing solid, and I play vs both of them.

JJ was wp in pio. If villain doesn't call worse otr (which isn't the case, btw), then my JJ under-realises while my bluffs massively over-realise - regardless, I make evbb's.

mate, the guy folds 97o there



ty bro.

ye folding vs 3x and making it the bottom of my defence vs 2.5x

Nitty and beating the pool for close to 5bb over big samples, so what does that tell you PIO boy?

How will your bluffs over realize in that spot when he's calling you with a flush every time? Go on tell me what worse hand is calling you there from a weak reg?

lolz....

mirage what do you play ? i'm serious, i mean i dont know but u should check your privilege

mirage pls stop posting for good. ur so clueless it hurts.

Work it out...

I think he played 25z on PS before Aus got banned, and now plays 50nl on ignition.

He's clearly got some deep grievances going on in his life; anyone who is truly happy with their life doesn't go out of their way to put a downer on others.

5bb is bad

96o defend is good

H3 is okay and can play it however u want tbh. X/c x/r and bet are all +ev... check vs more aggro guys is better

AJ pry okay in theory too and Ad blocker to A2s is semi relevant randomizer to jam

No need for a psychoanalysis just because someone's criticizing your bad play. You should be grateful I'm doing it for free, while the 200z regs pat you on the head because its plus ev. lolz

Lol

if someone bad criticises someone's play because he perceives it as bad, it could potentially make it a good play, thoughts?

I don't agree. People don't realize that winning pre rb (none atm) at small to mid stakes is somewhat better than 90% of regs out there.

So shaming wrs that are under 7bb/100 is a bit ridiculous imo.

Also, sustaining these massive wrs over long sample gets somewhat hard to do because we only seldomly see graphs that are 300k+ hands.

Anyways, anything that is 3+ is v good imo.

^^ good post

You ***** kidding me? 5bb/100 at 200z is beast.... You're better than 99.9% of the entire poker population....

yeh it was jamming river most of the time and then doing some blocking and a bit of checking

comments ref A2 blocker crossed my mind in the hand as well


Meh, it's all relative.

Bad is a strong word, but is correct given the right context, and if we do go down that avenue, we soon arrive at a big pissing contest :P

I was thinking from a PIO perspective, I don't really think 5bb is bad, especially if you don't study it's pretty good actually, he said "what does that tell you PIO boy", little does he know that if anybody played like PIO they would make quite a bit more than 5bbs

I really don't want this to turn into a pissing contest, that wasn't my intention, I just think mirage is a ****ing ****

Keep in mind everyone's actual wr is greater than the one we keep track of since there is rake.

Playing exactly like PIO is probably hurtful to your wr at 200z
