I just never really got into any spots. My session was only 300 hands long since I've recently decided I'd much rather put in 300 well thought out hands than 1,000 eh-thought out hands just for the basis of getting volume.
While volume improves a player and all that jazz I just don't feel I have the mental capacity and endurance to play as many tables for as many hands as I would love to.
So yeah, just never really got any big hands during that small 300 hand session. Had AA once but that got folded to a cbet, and hit one set but as you saw I got coolered with it.
Time to do some studying. Time to remind myself to use a bit of the time bank more frequently. Might go for a walk too since it's a good day outside today.
Looking for 3-4 motivated grinders, who have played 150k+ hands 10nl+.
You will be in a skype group with some of the better small stake grinders that have come through this year, 5 players that are confirmed in the group play 100nl on stars and 4 of us are coached by a highstakes reg (SharkbaitOHHH on 2+2).
since another skype group we've had turned to ****, Ive took it upon myself to just star a new HC group. The other 3 SSNL'ers will tune in with strategy every now but since its my idea id likely be posting the most (hopefully).
This is by no means a coaching, More bouncing ideas of each other and helping each other with leaks in their game, teaching people will help us understand our games better so let us help you help us
Please PM me and ill ask you a few questions and we will take it from there, I generally want guys who think outside the box and are somewhat creative, But the main thing i look for is work ethic and that > everything imo.
Wtf, I thought you were like a 200NL player? I don't want you playing my stakes!

I don't play online any more, I just grind 25nl when I get bored at home.

Can I join this?
P.s. I plan to make it back to SSNL in the short future
Great.
Withdrawed some winnings. Going to have no hurry moving out of 10nl. Immediately hit a small downswing. KK < aggrodonks 26, enough said. When people donk like a maniac and have to raise rivers with middle pair for value, adds a ton of variance...
h1: Not sure if raising or flatting is the best here. The guy loved to donk rivers. Maybe if i flat he will call a raise lighter.
UTG raises to $0.20, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to $0.60, fold, UTG raises to $1.10, Hero raises to $3.35, UTG raises to $4.63 and is all-in, Hero calls $1.28
h2: as played x/r turn. 3-betting the flop can't be bad. By just calling we give him control of the hand. If he checks turn we have to play the guessing game OTR, whether he had FD or Kx.
h4: time to check back vs that nit. give him the chance to hit a set or a broadway straight.
Frustrating as hell today. Only down half a buy in so not that bad. No real big pots to speak of. Just no one was calling when I had it and everyone just happened to have it when I bet. Got dealt AA and KK 12 times but won hardly anything with them. Guess the fish had their Spidey Senses turned on today
Isn't it a bit results oriented to post your results after a session? I see a lot ("a lot" might be a bit exaggerated) of you doing it, but it's pretty useless really. Rather say that you handled certain spots pretty well or had problems with your thought process instead of saying 'I won/lost X BI', right?
Don't get me wrong, it doesn't irritate me at all, this post isn't to bitch. But I personally think it's a leak, especially when someone says something like "had a great session, up 3BI!" because you're now (unconsciously) connecting the fact that you won 3 BI to the thought you played great (which is not automatically true). And vice versa, losing session =/= bad play. I guess we all know this but sometimes we seem to forget this.
Also, some thoughts on this hand? Both villains are unknown, I assumed they were fishes because of their limps but I didn't have any other information. I realy hate his x/MinR on the flop, because I can't say how big a fish he really is so he could be doing this even w/ AK or whatever. Turn is a shove because I figured I'm probably not going to fold river anyway vs him and by shoving turn I might get value out of his (few?) FD's he has, wasn't sure about him betting a busted FD OTR...
Imo my line is really standard, but I'm a bit results oriented about the hand right now, so any thoughts are appreciated.
Your value range is very narrow, his value range is even narrower, so he really only represents such a small amount of hands (9x, 77), I wouldn't expect him to have any sort of 9x hands in his range given how tight he is though, unless he had 99, and it's really not ideal for him to be raising either 9x or 77 here since it will just throw you off of your overs. Besides, he's short, he doesn't need to raise flop to be able to have his stack go in by the turn, or river.
I'd probably call and X/C most turns, simply because there's so little in his range that can actually beat us here.
Maybe that's not the correct way to approach the hand, but yeah.
Studebaker: Barrel AJ there on the turn. TPTK on such a dry flop is so strong, and if he has a range that continues on the turn there's a good chance we just have it absolutely crushed.
If he doesn't continue on the turn then that's meh. If you value bet and people fold then you can't really complain I guess.
As for overrated things, getting AI preflop for 100bb with AK is horrendously overrated. Obviously this is situational, but without reads, against a player who seems moderately reasonable (i.e. not an utter spew donkey) I'm folding to a 4bet with AK. The same applies to TT and JJ, and to a much lesser extent QQ (the difference being that I won't normally fold QQ to a 4bet without many hands on vil).
