Back on iPoker for a while now. Not my favourite site due to all the nits & nitty gameplay in general. Should be exploitable but very annoying to play sometimes.

h1: Is donking the river fine? I attempt to get a call from 9x, don't expect a passive guy to bet the river again.

Same guy here. He had like 6% PFR at this point so i thought it's fine to flat. I guess river is a fold, but was one of those flow moments where i was putting villain only on A-high

H1, I'd expect anyone to bet the river with QQ or better, x/jam is way better, especially considering you rep so strong by donking.
H2 flop float is close but fine, turn float is spew despite his sizing.
H3 raise the river.
H4 looks fine.

Yeah he did pot river. Would have probably called a shove too but meh, just annoyed it cost me a fair bit of my stack.

Also got the general impression I wasn't playing my A game anymore so I'm calling it a night for now. Folded QQ to an all in on the flop when the flop was 234dd (villain just shoved straight away) and scenarios like that are pretty much always a snapcall, but I pussied out.

Was playing great a couple of hours ago. Tables will always be there tommorow I suppose!

H2 floating is ok, turn is a raise/fold given how little equity we have I fold

H3 fold ott

I try to think that would a regular really min 3b, limp UTG, not buy-in full and similar things.
I think against an unknown w/o backdoor SD in 4nl it's a bit spewy. Have been trying to win too many pots lately since i'm on an upswing. I should hit the fold button a bit more often.

Yeah, I mean, it's not like you can't change tags later, but once you have an indication it's useful to take a note in case the fish learns to hide their VIP level by the next session, especially in Zoom where you might only get 4 or 5 hands on them.

Yeah I have a tag I use on people who are not on autorebuy and or one tabling

Always ****e when it happens (sent my session from nearly BE to -2BI) but sometimes you just have to close your eyes and rip it in.

This hand happened yesterday. Felt pretty good after running below EV. Also rivered a King w/ AA vs KK. Gotta punch that variance in the face.

I wouldn't be trying to bluff a loose passive fish off 2p+ very often.

Down around a buy in today. Some really crappy play by me today so lots to review. Guess the poker karma gods came out to get me late in day too.

Just shove over the 4bet in H1, 3b slightly smaller in H2 (or just shove).

lol wtf?
She is clueless.
lol'd when she got stacked with her JJ.

But, gonna start betting less when I want fold equity and more when I want value

Actually, I didn't think the JJ hand was too bad.

Didn't think it was bad, just the tone in her voice after all she'd been saying when he rolled over nuts.

Also, she keeps saying how unbelievable it is - she can't have played any microstakes.
Villains play is pretty standard

28/20 is loose passive? Just seems like a LAG who likes to defend IP/BB's wider.

Your river bluff raise isn't ideal. It would be awesome if you had the A in your hand, but you don't.

Yeah, @skinny, fold pre. After that, potentially fold turn. River is meh (def prefer it with the Ad).

Bankroll and graph direction this month

Yeah today was a torture. Can't complain though, made back to breakeven. I even won 2€ from wheel of fortune bonus promotion game :P

I got my revenge for bragging on my suck out.

Also, I've been wondering, what's a decent/average Standard deviation? How is it calculated, and how can one possibly lower theirs if it's higher than what's considered normal?

Yep no way we're folding.

Figured that much. :P
Meh, it happens. -3BI day today. Only had two big losing hands really, that cooler and one where somebody binked 4 to a straight and I snap-decided on calling rather than taking my sweet time and finding a fold.

Most of the reason why I lost today was simply from not winning any massive hands. It happens I suppose.

Not winning big hands is a great recipe for downswing and self-destruction. Feels so damn good when whale decides to stack off vs your top set after you lost few KK<AA situations. You might start to look for alternative spots to gain more thin value, where just value towning an idiot is much easier alternative.
