Sick results UG!

Thats awesome. Looking forward to when i can start adding some 100nl and eventually 200 again

You guys ever feel like there is such a thing as too much study?

I say that facetiously, but i punted off a stack last night calling down because I was supposed to, but in real life i actually dont think villain has the bluffs he should and its just a massive punt.

The purpose of whatever studying that you do is so you can know when to make the exploits and not play according to whatever theory says.

Yea i agree 100%. Sometimes if ive been studying a lot and watching videos in comparison to playing time i get shifted too far to making the theoretical play. But people play nowhere close to theory. Hoping to get in a live play session vs giant fish today

I geuninely believe that most low stake players study too much, of course some people need it but a lot of the soft skills you learn just by grinding hands are so important, if you are +EV in the game you're playing I would just play like 80% and study 20%, and put in some extra study every time you move up stakes.

Well my online results have been a lot better lately, but live results going the other way. Of course the live play is highly volatile with all kinds of wacky stuff going on in these games so its to be expected.

I played 2/3 500 buyin for like 4 hrs yesterday and this one guy was on an absolutely massive heater like none ive ever seen. He was in almost every hand and actually was not out of line at all. He just literally had a hand every time. When i left he had well over 3k in front of him and most of the players at the table were buying in for 200 or less. He even cracked aces with AJs in a 5way all in pot.

I was card dead. Played maybe 5 hands in 4 hrs and folded flop every time.

One weird spot came up and although I was wrong in game I think it was probably still the correct fold.

There was a $10 button straddle and annoyingly the action starts on SB with button straddle here. SB calls, BB calls, and then UTG jams for like 170 so around 60bb. He had not done this before and i had not seen him play many hands. Im at UTG +1 w AQs and im almost $500 effective. I cant call and then fold, and it felt like jamming w a bunch of players behind me for 160bb was not a thing w AQ. So i fold and it ends up folding around and the guy shows 54o. Like i said, wacky stuff going on in these games.

The grind continues. Slowly adding more 50nl tables.

I dont know what the deal is, but the coolers just keep coming on the 50nl streets and i run great on 25nl. Played against a villain tonight that flopped a flush on 3 straight 3bet pots vs me. First one i had middle set, second one i had top pair w nut flush draw and turned top 2, 3rd time i had KK overpair w flush draw. Money saved is money won though, and i managed to only lose 1.8 buyins over those hands.

Eventually it has to change....

Ok everyone, need everyone to join hands and wish for Kelly Oylynk to score 5 points tonight.

Thanks guys!

i like how since i hit that parlay on bovada the other day it's been nothing but running into the top of people's ranges and getting 2 outered on the river.

Bovada giveth and bovada taketh away. Its been like 10 years for me on bovada. We now have legal sportsbook hardrockbet in FL though so i dont use bovada for my sports anymore

Yeah I've used the hardrock app a few times since it came out. I like it.

My ultimate dream would be a geofenced florida online poker game. My god would that be juicy.

Hell yeah. My state just signed a bill and I think we are getting online poker very soon.

What do you guys think of Precision Poker on Upswing? I have never heard of Alexandre Vuilleumier, but that is probably because I live under a rock.

The content looks interesting, and I was happy with Uri's course a couple years ago. But I do worry that it is trying to cover too much ground in too little time... tournaments, cash games, solvers, MDA, and opponent specific reads in just 5ish hours.

I just folded AA on an AdTd8c3d8d runout in a 3way all-in because I didn't notice that I boated up on the river. They had QdJs and A8s, and I was like "wait, why did the flush lose? OMG I FOLDED THE NUTS AND LOST $470!!!"

I had to sit out for a minute because I was laughing so hard. Ivey did that **** twice on TV, so he has likely done it dozens of times in his life. It's part of the human experience.

brutal

Yeah, I've barely heard of this guy and on the website it advertises a "15bb/100" winrate at 2knl which is a pretty stupid claim to even make. Would pass on this, and the majority of course anyway.

I think that they had the nerve to take his 5 BB/hr live 10/20 winrate and call it 15 BB/100 without mentioning the "live" part. 15 BB/100 live is $100/hr. 15 BB/100 online is $600+/hr... just entirely different levels. That is quite scummy of them imo.

It is Upswing.

Not only is it deceiving, it's so blatantly false that only a beginner/recreational player would actually believe it. 15bb/100 at almost any stake online is a ridicolous claim to make.

Just yesterday I asked in a Slack group about members' win rates on Ignition over the past several months, to find out if they were experiencing the same drop-off in winrate that people have been reporting on 2p2. The response I got from of the group members was, "I’ve been beating [Ignition] 100NL for about 30bb/100 for about the last 3 months or so. Was beating 50NL for the same winrate for many months prior."

I mean, maybe he is lying, or otherwise incorrect, but I don't think either is the way to bet.

I was sitting next to a friendly, outgoing senior citizen at Commerce 40/80 one time who was playing about 70/5... just a textbook loose-passive. He told me that he never has a losing poker trip and uses his winnings to fund his fishing trips. Even though he seemed like a really nice person, I still don't believe him.
