Operation Get Better

holy crap dude, perspective for sure.

I'm glad you're doing alright man, and I'm sure they'll understand about the tests.

MEANIE

Ok so I am pretty dumb and lazy. Can someone tell me what this means and if it should be of any importance. Keep in mind I don't play many hands so all the "lol what a noob" stuff hurts my feelings.

Wow I run bad

ironman gives $100 per month if you get 200 points 25 days out of the month
$20 if you don't play the freeroll in additional medals

you also start off at $20 per month in medals, and increases up to $180 a month after you play 3 years

Thanks. So, if I "accept" or whatever, this would all start next month right?

Down 1.5 buyins today. FML. Got shat on. What's new? Had AA and KK go to postflop once...both lost to huge donks. TPTK < nuts when the dude c/c/half pot, 99 < Q5o allin preflop 30bb, barely hit any of my broad way hands I raised preflop, TPGK < Two pair vs. 100 vpip guy. Flopped 2 sets, one the guy folded to my raise the other the board got completely gross. It's just annoying as crap. P.S. I got my first stack in preflop ahead and won the other day. KK > AQs. Yet to see them aces go the distance. Roll is smaller than it's been in a year I guess? I don't know. Umm, tbh I may have to withdraw everything soon and ask for a stake. Shall be interesting.

pretty sure kf runs worse

I don't feel like I tilt. I'm numb to the beats when they actually happen, just paranoid when I click "cashier" afterward. Tbh, I semi-want to get banned but there are some players I'd lose touch with and some other stuff I don't want to miss out on.

I'm not really sure what else to post? I guess not post at all? I mean, if I have tons of trouble on a hand I'll post it to higher stakes guys on AIM and they'll say "std" most of the time. I mean this heavily affects me overall because having a real job right now would ruin a lot of things for me. I'm now shaking at the thought of having to withdraw a little soon.

As for the stake. Yeah you are right probably. But I have had successful stakes (2 for 2) when I was a lot worse of a player. I have made over $10k. Who knows, maybe I am getting worse somehow but very doubtful when I am investing in a lot of private coaching.

Last month did not go well. I had my first losing month in awhile (ever...I don't know). Definitely a confidence killer. I've been working a lot (mainly on my own) to get better emotionally and just with poker overall. I had a great talk with my girlfriend about this and she seemed to give very solid advice mimicking what other poker players usually tell me. I feel a lot more at ease when playing. As far as studying, I am really diving deep into my database. Looking at my stats and seeing if I can improve, checking out other players stats to an extent, talking to other players etc. I really feel like I have fixed a couple of leaks from calling a tad too lightly in the blinds, not cbetting enough, not 3betting enough and not isolating bad players/limpers enough.

So far this month things are going well. I've only played 1k hands for multiple reasons but I am winning at a solid 18.59bb/100. It's for sure still somewhat deflating to see my EVbb/100 at 40.72bb/100 but what can you do?

Damn nice jinx. Down 2.5 buyins today. Bye bye profits. I honestly struggle vs. donks who donk bet pot while I hold midpair-Wkicker on drawwy boards. I just nit up and fold because I have no idea what the board changes on any turn. I am very determined to have a good month though and I will not tilt. As of now I will not even mention EV this whole month.

Good attitude kmizzle. EV whines suck.

GL

Thank you guys! Down another .5 buyins while letting the girlfriend play. Def. improving though. I was telling "BOOM! I have this won if he doesn't show up with xx here" and they had it haha. Oh well. I may drop to...25NL...for a little. Sigh. Don't think I can really make a living there so should be weird/not worth it. I'm definitely seeing the top of people's ranges a lot so it's really just a matter of time. I'm going to play a lot tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday then go visit my gf for awhile. Much love FTR.

Thanks for the suggestion I think I am going to do that. From my experience, yes, I am seeing exactly the few hands I see in someone's range that beats me when I believe there are other hands I beat.

Doesnt even need to be the biggest ones, just a few where you think you ran into the top of ranges, and post them with the range you gave them and why you gave them that range.

Will post more hands later but played 2k hands of 25nl. Down 2.5 buyins. Thought I actually played ok but lost a good amount of AK < KK, QQ < KK etc. I don't really feel worried though I might should be. I'm trying to sink in the responses in my stats thread in the 6max forum. A ton of great advice from great players and I am so thankful for that.

I figure if I lose a few more buyins it's time to cashout and look for a stake somehow either at 2+2, some other random website, or maybe someone here. I am now down for the month with a slope casually going downwards.

This guy was crazy over the few hands I had on him. He insta bet turn/river.

Villain was a donk over a few hands and wasn't too aggro. I get so confused in these situations because my hand is so vulnerable.

9hJh hand
wow, this hand is crazy. I'm trying to find a better line. Based on read he has a 9 here a lot, meh. It's kinda gross but i think it's a call.

QQ hand
30 hands is too few to classify someone completely as a donk. Obviously he has KJ here sometimes, but this is never a fold.

AT hand
i dislike the plan to barrel any turn.

A7 4
If you're at war with a reg you probably don't need to be squeezing here, especially from out of position.

AJ hand
iso good. Flop cbet good. Turn you're not good much vs a "wasn't too aggro" read, but number of hands? enough to have a fold-to-cbet stat that means anything? I'm not sure that the turn is always a barrel, depends loads on reads/history/etc.

A7 hand is IP vs. the reg. I was at war with to clear things up. Why don't you like the AT hand? I feel like he has a mediocre hand (midPP - weak Q) that he'll have a tough time continuing with.

No man, that dowsn't make sense. what would be yur current condition as far as BR and money needed to withdraw say for the next few months as you put it, and what would the stake do to circumvent this and make you better off? You can AIM me if you don't want to talk about it here, but the problem seems to be in your details of what you think will be better. I'd like to see some math of the two differing thoughts

Thanks for the help Daven. I understand the AT hand more after a talk with griffey and we just basically came up with the same conclusion as you did.

The money thing, yeah I'll continue to play without a stake. Not sure what limit yet (50 or 25) and I just need to play a ton more. I actually play more tables than most would think but just start losing and end sessions quickly (leak?)

AT is pretty bad, you're continuing a semi-bluff here on turn with all AcX KcX and a bunch of other stuff and he prolly knows that so its not a good card to barrel. I'd even c/f flop sometimes.

A7s is spewy, id call preflop more often than I squeeze. It's even more spewy when you guys are in preflop wars since he's even more likely to call with AT/AJ and have u dominated.

AJ id be tempted to get it in. Just stove 56,TJ,A8,78,89 and a lot of combo draws, see what you get. Prolly very close.

If he was deeper then we can discount all combo draws given his passiveness and make this an easy fold.

A9- fold turn yes.
JJ- This is always AA, but its fun to find out if it really is THIS time

i want to see you get your game together kmind, what you are experiencing is undoubtedly painful. downswings are difficult to manage, but like the Chinese say with adversity there is always opportunity - or something like that!

Thank you guys! I'm going to only play 4 tables max for awhile.

Down 6 buyins for the day at 25NL. KK < AA 100bb deep, TT < KT vs. shorty, some AK missing flops in 3bet pots. Obviously it has to be more than just coolers though. Not really sure what my future holds.

I'll be visiting my girlfriend until Sunday with no poker playing access and barely any FTR access. My roll is at 2750, if it gets to 2600 I am definitely contemplating withdrawing $2k at least. It is honestly beyond me how to fix this or what is going on. If anyone would be kind enough to sweat with me when I return I'd be so grateful. Thank you all for being so generous as it is.

Nice to see you posting hands, but I really think you should be including the ranges you gave them at the time as well as reads. This way people can give feedback on your ranges, not just your lines.

wow man, it seems like you've just been downswinging/running bad forever, will def sweat when you get back if you're willing.

Down another 3 buyins today in 1300 hands at 25NL. Worked a lot on my cbetting game and got it to 69%. Played a 23/20 style with a 6.6% I was a loser in showdown as well as non-showdown hands. I'll post my biggest losers here but without stats, I am just so worn out mentally from poker. 1300 hands all 4 tabling like 15 minutes of 6 tabling and the rest of the day/yesterday working on my game from either sweats or reading articles.

He was just insta insta betting each street:

It looks like you're only posting the hands where you feel you got unlucky. Even though you earlier agreed this was a waste of space vs posting the big hands (winning and/or losing - but without results!) with analysis.

Do you want sympathy, or do you want to fix your game?

hand 1 J9 fold to the flop cr, definitely fold to the turn shove

hand 2 Q3 you don't have to auto-iso with shit. fold pre.

hand 3 JJ dunno

hand 4 JT fine

hand 5 77 why the call pre-flop? Why not just raise flop? you're losing action with any club, losing action from JJ-KK if an A comes, etc.

hand 6 9To co steal depends a lot on bu and blind tendencies doesn't it? awful board to cbet on.

hand 7 K2 check flop.

hand 8 QQ read the WA/WB discussion posts from a year or so back. Also, reconsider the reasons for betting (worse calls/better folds/protection) in the context of this hand

hand 9 56s you should consider folding or 3-betting pre without reads. Post flop is fine, so is raising flop. Bombing turn would not be good.

J9 hand - meh, folding flop sometimes is even ok vs certain villains. Fold turn though, ppl are on the level where they know the draw missed here.

Q3 hands - no need to squeeze SUCH a trashy hand. Can wait for a non-callable hand that plays a bit better (J8hh or something like that).
As played, I think his flop calling range is moderately weak (insiders, Tx) that a double barrel could be alright here.

77 hand - raise flop or raise turn obviously. Def raise this turn if not flop, he will have lots of pairs+insiders and stuff.

5s6s hand - I like raising this flop, its a flop where a raise can rep a ton of different strong hands (KQ, JT, 999), so its a very credible raise. He will also have a lot of hands that will call one barrel but fold to turns, AK, QJ, 9T, KJ etc etc.

Daven - I was just posting my biggest losers. I don't want sympathy, it's literally my biggest losers. Also:

77 - what would you do with 77 here pre? I can't see any other option but to call

K2 - we don't get value with basically the nuts?

griff - 5s6s: yeah I guess I saw shorty and was like meh let's not get it in with him but that's pretty gay because he barely has a hand. I then meant to bet turn/bet river as played because of the one barrel argument. But raising flop/betting turn has more merit.

Thank you guys.

Come one man, take the time to post reads and ranges and get something out of it.

K2 hand I not only lead out, but I lead out for pot. He has something or he doesn't, go for the value. Only thing I dont like is the minbet lead (and its not a donk, noone raised).

77 is on the line a bit for 3b or call preflop. I probably call, but bet your ass the flop is getting raised. I cant think of a single good reason not to. Theres draws, its connected, people dont believe you. So many good reasons to c/r.

Ben -
K2 hand: It's 25NL Sad

...I did lead out full pot

Thanks man.

I'm studying a bunch tonight (poker wise) with no playing. Have a test Thursday so studying most of the day tomorrow too and may not play. It feels great not playing.
