Hi guys, i've been here and created heaps of dead end threads on here ALOT. So my apologies for this for the viewers and to the admins on two plus two poker forums.

It's time to set the record straight. I WILL be GREAT in Poker. I have 15 years experience behind me!

I'll be streaming 30 hours a week. 3-6pm NZT and 7-10pm NZT Monday to Thursday, 3-6pm NZT Friday and 7-10pm NZT on Sunday.

Follow me on twitch! http://twitch.tv/cardsharks

I'm not the biggest streamer at all, however once I start making money at poker, I fully intend on investing into my twitch and you tube accounts to help improve them both.

Also I will show the highlights of my poker journey on you tube. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL4...TCXQfMuQ60r5ow

New weekly hand review videos will be posted up here and on my social media channels by the end of each week.

To start off with, watch my first hand review on my you tube channel!

Richard

Hey bro. What limits you playing? Just cash games?

Good to see a kiwi poker player having a go at poker.

I'll start with 10NL. Thanks for the kiwi compliment No tournaments planned at this stage.

I'm a CRAZY poker player that's for sure.

50% VPIP and crazy high 50bb/100 hands goals!

But i'll get there. The reason why I have a 50% VPIP, is because I want to be into win. You can't achieve 50bb/100 hands playing only 20% VPIP.

Been playing poker for 15 years on and off, but now i've decided to persue being a pro.

Going to play 10NL with just over 3 buy ins and if I lose 1 buy in, i'll move down to 5NL. Same with 5NL, if I get down to $20 - I won't move back up until i'm at $30.

It's a win win scenario. I can't go broke - not with 2NL surely ... haha.

Worst case scenario is that I get unlucky multiple times and have to top up my bankroll. No problem

Here is a hand that I won at 5NL late last year - that was a 80bb/100 hand session!



Even 25NL players mis-play their hand. That hand from my initial post was from playing a guy at 25NL when he shoved with 7 outs in hand on the flop!

I'll post all my hands played in a spreadsheet with my actions and my opponent's actions and the results of that hand, to show discipline and accountability.

Off to bed shortly in Kiwi-land.

Back to the grind on Wednesday I just have to update a few things on OBS and my twitch page firstly

You misplayed 23o preflop. Its a clear fold bro. You need to fix that leak.

cardsharks is the next isildur, all loser grinders on here with like 3bb winrates have absolutely no idea what awaits them

this thread is comedy. I love the video I just start laughing.
i dont feel richard is serious. hes more troll. but his read was excellent and breakdown was spot on.

Well given the 2 opponents hole cards, i'm pretty sure it was a raise and call call preflop..and I flop the lower end of the straight and they go crazy with me? What else am I supposed to do there? They all played a big pot against me and I took all their chips

Thanks for the sarcastic praise. I appreciate such humour and honor

I will not fail to deliver!

I am serious about my poker game, real serious

Check out my twitch channel and other social media channels. That shows dedication!

Its a standard fold Preflop.
Your not making BBs/100 with 23o long term.

Short term sure you hit a straight and stack 2 opponents and hold against a higher straight draw.

That's not good solid poker.

Well if I miss with 23o on the flop. What am i losing if I fold? Oh yeah 3bb for the raise. Yeah

Come into discord peeps. Me and my bud Matt are having a ball in there http://discord.gg/vMq9zxu

In this case you had a 1.3% chance of hitting a straight on the flop with 23o. That will happen once every 76 times.

If your strategy with 23o is to hit a straight your going to lose 225BB before you hit a straight on average. In this case your still going to lose nearly 30% of the time to a higher straight.

Limping is probably a better strategy with 23o. You only lose 75BB if no-one re-raises. A min bet would be better than 3xBB open. You only lose 150B. If you like action min betting is a better strategy for you. I recommend that adjustment to your game if you want to play aggressive without losing as much when you don't hit.

bro just coz u won't make money calling pf w 32o doesn't mean cardshark wont. hes better than u, just accept it.

The most important lesson i've learnt at the poker tables? Never play tired. I went to bed at 7am today after finishing setting up OBS and my twitch stream and I decided right then I would not be ready at 3pm to play poker. So i'm starting tomorrow..

This is the spreadsheet that I will log my stats on. I will be using pokertracker to conduct my hand reviews on Saturday. This Saturday's hand review video probably won't be that big, given that I would only have played on Thursday.



Who's looking forward to Dwan vs Hellmuth part 3? It's live on PokerGO in just under 2 days time

Lost a few big pots here and there. Won a few big pots too, but mainly won smaller pots.



Session could of gone much better. Got stacked with KK vs AA and also lost out an allin with AK vs KK.

At the end of the day, AK is a drawing hand, if I raise pre and someone 3bets me, i'm better of just calling to try and hit a A, otherwise fold.

Day off on Friday NZT - i'm fully watching the 5 hr marathon (hopefully) between Hellmuth and Dwan!

Hand reviews coming on Saturday for the 6 hr marathon that I just completed today

#LetsDoThis

good luck!

try to up your volume, though, play at least 4 tables. 6 hours for 450 hands is quite low.

I also see you are using a pretty aggro bankroll schedule. Just deposit a bit more, and play more tables. If your goal is to move up more quickly, this is a better way to do it. variance will kill your shots without a bit of a cushion.

I tried multi tabling, but it never works for me, plus you can't get as good reads on your opponent multi tabling. Bankroll is currently at $19. I'm currently playing 2NL and i'm confident I won't go broke playing that limit. Will move back up to 5NL when bankroll hits $25 and 10NL when bankroll hits $50, and so forth. I've owned people up to 25NL, so i'm confident I will get there within a months time.

Here is my stats for all cash game limits so far for 2NL, 5NL and 10NL after day #1:



Since Dwan vs Hellmuth never happened, i'm starting on my weekly hand reviews video a day earlier than normal. 1 hr + video of my best and worst hands and also hands regarding where I could of done something better in the hand, will be posted on my you tube channel tomorrow.

I will be eventually paying someone on fiverr.com to help me improve my page rankings of all my you tube videos

Playing poker on Wednesday, Thursday 3-6pm, 7-10pm. Friday 3-6pm and Sunday 7-9pm NZT this week.

Sorry for the lack of communication on this. Have been sorting out someone to upload my you tube videos and rank them high last few days and watching Phil Hellmuth vs Scott Seiver tomorrow.

Im going watch your stream now while the ATP tennis is playing Live on my smart TV.
i will go through your hands and tell you how i would play them in this thread,

Special streaming THIS Friday and Saturday! Hand reviews LIVE on twitch this Sunday! New you tube video to be posted Sunday from last week!

hey, man

I watched part of one of your streams, and in 1 hand, you opened T3s in MP.

this is extremely splashy preflop. Playing at micros, rake is going to be an absolute killer, making a much tighter preflop strategy the way to go.

you are also not making money opening this combo. playing very loose aggressive is extremely hard to do well, and frankly, your game is not there yet.

I would advise you to get some micros preflop ranges, and start studying them. There is nothing wrong with being aggro post flop, the problem arises when we are playing lots of multi-way pots in high rake environments with these trash hands in tighter opening positions. We not only have to overcome rake, but have to play extremely complex multi-way spots with trash continually as we get lots of cold callers all over the place.

GTO wizard has some free 6max ranges I believe if you set up an account. You can start here as a good baseline.

not sure if you are trolling or not with the 50bb/100, but that is simply not attainable

as far as not multi-tabling, if you are interested in improving, multi tabling will improve your game much faster, and the idea of getting reads is not really relevant, as your intention at this point should be to work on your fundamentals. You should also be trying to limit the amount of time that you spend in the micros, as the rake is abysmal, and it will take you an ungodly amount of time to move through the limits 1 tabling 2 or 5 nl.

you should multi table even if it is uncomfortable for you, and even if it makes you tilt, if you want to take the game seriously. you are not going to be a competitive player without the ability to muti-table

good luck, and feel free to post questions in thread if you'd like some guidance

Matthew Thompson, post your comments on my hands in my you tube videos. New one will be posted up tomorrow. I don't really want people spamming here, cheers

We will see about bb/100 won. One seller on fiverr.com claims that he has a 20bb/100 hands. If I improve my bb/100 hands won every session, then I can eventually get to my target.

Feel free to look at my new you tube video coming out this weekend. I review my hands. I did donk off my chips in a few of the hands. Cheers

He's more interested in writing the goals up than actually playing. He doesn't play.
