Hi guys. I'm posting here to get some backup about my play. Little background: Play poker since 02/2016. At first for fun, the I took it serious. At 07/2017 tried to raise a BR for real in sngs and mtts. In a year I made it from $13 to 1.4k playing 100% in BR management which was a big leak.
Then months ago I lost my job and tried to make it trought poker. I live in a poor south amerincan country and I can make it with around 150/200/month because I own my house and don't have family/GF at time.
It worked well, then big downswing arrived and I decided to change to cash like 10 days ago. I know cash also has variance but I find it easier to fight because I can make 400k hands/month if I need it. Right now my goal is 200k/month.
Well.. I post my first almost 100k hands stats. I don't know if I miss to input something important, if so please tell me.
What I think are my leaks:
1- I tend to bet some 2nd 3er 4th made hands in river, then when I get raised I tend to call. Probably the tourney background. I lost lots of 2nd best flush, fulls vs flush, etc
2- I can't solve the cbet in raised pots BvB or BTNvB. I believe I need to have some equity to cbet, and consider ranges. I also check some TPBK, cbet with draws + overcards. Then also I cbet when I have garbage and the board is better for my range. I stoped recently cbeting CO and BTN calls on Axx Kxx boards with lower pairs or air, and cbet more SB and BB with those boards.
No cbet = V bets turn 100%. I find myself cbeting a lot because I hate this. Probably biggest leak lol. Better to forget about the 3bb when board is awful for us?
3- I probably bluff to much. Especialy on blinds battle. I think I don't do it too much on river, but in turn.
4- I am afraid to value bet rivers when no nuts. Example: I have AK in UTG, raise, BTN calls. Board AQ7, bet, call, TURN: 3, bet call, RIVER: K ....... in that spot I would probably check call. Afraid of straight, and sets. I don't know what is right or wrong about this. In a tourney, if I am with a medium/low stack I would check push or just donk push depending on V. But here with 100bbs all the time, I don't know what is better. I know I need to study combo counting but right know I fell like is too much for NL5, I probably need to study begginer stuff. I prefer a rule like "don´t do it with less than 2nd nuts against regs and nits"
5- I need to understand how to read AA in 3b/4b/5b moments. Right now I just take notes and fold JJ/QQ/AK to realy low 3bet% and low 4bet%. I only stack with AA/KK against EP. Not sure if doing it with KK is working. Against other positions a full stacks is TT+ AKo+, always depending on V's stats.
But lot of times I find AA's, even from the crazy maniacs. AK is a cry push/call always.
6- I get too envolved with the crazy recs and maniacs. The way to manage this is to play for value and fold everything else, but I forget and start to catch them with showdown value hand. I will focus on not doing this from now on.
7- I have no idea about when to double barrel and why when is semibluff. If I do it, then I most of the time miss the river bet and lose the hand there.
And, the statss. Thanks!
