XTR´s drive to midstakes

2.2k hands @100NL fr, +$275

BR $6680 weeeeee!

Following my BRM plan I made at the beginning I should now be playing 1/2FR regularly and be shotting 1/2 6max on occasion. I´ll be staying at 0.5/1 until the end of the month and then overthink my BRM plan again for the following reasons:

- I´m curious if I can maintain a winrate >2.5ptBB/100 over a solid sample, until OP start I was 1.8 longterm

- I dont wanna switch sites, since I have a good deal at CDPoker and like the software, but iPoker 1/2 FR is contaminated with rakeback- and FPP-pros.

- I´m not confident in my 6max game. I could probably beat 100NL FR, but I doubt I could do a bigger winrate than at FR. I´m not ready for 1/2 6max yet

- I´d like to have a somewhat deeper BR to avoid tilting/scared money issues. My biggest improvement this month was to learn to really think things through before I act, to strictly concentrate on ranges and ev´s, not being results oriented and to always look ahead and not letting yesterdays beats phase me. If you scroll up you´ll see that I went on wild 3 BI monkeytilt once, but I did not get in this chronic semi-tilt state of mind that cost me so much moniez in the past.

- I have exams and 3 weeks of business training in Feb/March and will therefore not have the time to study the game in depth. I don´t want to advance in limits without advancing as a player. This somewhat correlates with tilting issues, when the next downswings hits at 1/2 and I´m stressed the tilting monster may come out again.

On todays session: I had a brutal start, getting stacked twice with set over set and one rivered boat over boat. Again I ran nittish 13/11/4, I tightened up in EP due to tons of shortstacks, still I´m the only regular player with a two-digit PFR. Att.2 steal was 25%, which is okay I guess and should be near optimal for todays table conditions. I´m looking for opportunities to squeeze for the past 3 weeks and did okay, funny side note: none of the regs has adjusted yet.

#1 SB is 13/8/3 regular, he stacked me earlier with the mentioned boat over boat, no history beside that. My image is solid, river bluff raises are very uncommon and I doubt he´s betting weak to induce a raise. I´m basically turning my hand into a bluff here, since I´m repping Kx/QJ and I have no idea if its a good play.

#6 This one is interesting. BTN is 15/6/2.1 semi reg, haven´t played him for a while. He´s kinda tricky, I folded to two possible floats before. I had a hard time putting him on a hand, he could have KQ, JJ-TT, 88, 22 and spades. KQ/88/22 raise flop a large % of the time, so he´s most likely to hold spades or tries to rep them w/ 2nd pair. C/c or b/f river?

#1 I was lost. No solid reads yet. UTG crai came really unexpected, since it didnt make sense to me. What hands are going for a c/r on such a drawy board? Getting 2:1 I called, figuring to have 9-12 outs

#2 CO is 42/6/1.8, calling tons of flops IP vs me and betting any turn when checked to. I already c/r´ed him twice and he gave up. It´s probably not the best play in a vacuum, but given our history he must give me lots of weak holdings, since I started defending vs his floats with this line. Checking river sucks.

Session#2 full ring. I played bad. - $360

#4 MP2 is 24/17/1.7, MP3 is unknown 19/6/2. I´ve been 3betting MP2 a ton the last days, especially with a caller I squeezed a lot. Both started calling lighter, I showed down 77 vs 66 when MP2 and I checked thru a 3bet pot and gave up with a missed AQ. Flop check to rep a missed mid pp and to extract a bet from TT/JJ/88. Turn bet is huge, maybe too big for value bet and since my hand is underrepped I had to shove.

wow. last nights full ring session went like crazy. idk why, but suddenly the nits were bluffing the shit out of me. First losing session, where I werent outflopped but outplayed by players who had never got out of line/caught. I was stunned and quit before I could spew more moniez away, net loss $70 coz I made my biggest pot for this month as well.

Since being played felt so bad, my neighbour, who dropped like 4BI at 1/2, and I decided to get drunk fast and killed a bottle of vodka within an hour and then started to play $3 HellKat SNG´s on Party. These are sooooooooooooo fun! For those of u who havent heard of it, HellKats have a set time limit, when the time runs out first 3 in chips are paid. Gotta think about an adequate strategy to beat those, until now I´ll play them to spew around when I´m wasted Very Happy

lost about $20 there, tho I finished a couple ITM.

On yesterdays session:

800 hands of 100NL 6max for a net loss of $300, received $180 RB on IPN,

BR $6400

Not a nice end of the month but w/e. Tried iPoker 6max at first, but the tables there were horrible nitty and filled with shortstacks. Went over to Party and found 4 tables with at least one 40/4 type of guy, but had no chance to pull a profit. I think I played pretty well, especially since the TAGs stay out of each others way as long as there´s a donator in the middle. Tho it sucks to pay the donk I´m fine with my decisions, got my money in good.

#1 UTG+1 ran 90/11/1.8 for 120 hands, CO is 34/22/0.8 over 150. I´m happy that I got it in.

Achievements this month:

- I took care of this OP and therefore went thru PT and looked at my hands after every session
- No huge tilt affiars beside one HU session (doesnt show up in pt as HU, since it was a new 6max table)
- I thought poker
- My approach to this game has totally changed. I´m looking forward after every session, losing streaks dont phase me all that much anymore, coz I can either indentify them as coolers or mistakes I learned from

Goals for Feb:
- Continue beating 100NL fr, start beating 100NL 6max
- Work on my adjustements and player reading. playing less tables and thinking about my actions I´ve found myself in loads of situations, where I couldn´t determine on which level opponent is thinking and make bad plays caused by misjudging (is this a word??) his level of thinking. I´m outthinking myself frequently.

I seem to have the exact same problem determining what level my opponent is thinking on as well. I also have a tendency to get too fancy trying to level an opponent who may not be thinking very deep. Oh well, I'm learning as I go.
As for you play, Hand #1 is fine.
#2 I often call IP and play the flop. OOP I like to get it in pre and let the chips fall where they may. If I think he has a read that I'm 3betting light I especially like to play a flop cause he'll stack off lighter than usual. Against an unknown I don't mind the pre-push though.
#3, Raise flop more to make later streets easier to play. His stack size makes it hard for you on a bad turn card. I like the b/f line here, but you can't fold to his short ass push over. I plan to see A9 or A3 here alot as well as plenty of bluffy air.

You and I seem to be at similar stages in bankroll and poker development right now. I sure wish I had your poker bonuses and Rakeback to draw off of, but alas I play in the US. $600 in a month is awesome, though mine would be less since I can only get about 15K-18K hands in per month.
Congrats on a good month developmentally and a decent month with poker/variance. From hands you posted the win rate will certainly come up in the next month or two.
