weeeeeee!!!!

Received RB today and u know what?!

BR $10,043
Itīs a celebration, bitches!!! 5 figures look so sweet


So I had a pretty good run at 200NL so far without doing any major adjustements. The most important and most profitable adjustement I made was not to play when I was tired. I only played when I felt on top level and didnīt grind just for the sake of passing time or earning FPPīs or w/e. Iīm gonna fire up my tables now and hopefully get into some tough spots I can post here later on.

Bye bye 10k Sad

Bad session, dropped $550

#1 This needs explanation. Villian is 18/6 and I was like 18/16 running over these guys. I took a couple of medium pots from him with marginal hands like JTo and A9s when he started berating me, calling me a motherfucker and megadonk and things. He was so upset and my image so bad that I couldnīt fold.

Hand 1) Looks like villain really wants you to raise him on the turn by betting so small, then he shoves river trying to make up for lost value.
That said, I don't think I could fold in that situation with the table chat and all.

Hand 2) If villain is nitty, then I probably fold preflop. His range from the SB is probably very small.

Hand 3) I love how people don't 3bet QQ in full ring.

Hand 4) Why did you check the flop?

Gratz on 10k!!

I don't really understand hand 4 either. You're taggy, he's taggy, it looks like a spot where you stand to win a big pot a lot of the time.

Alright guys,

so I didnīt play any poker the past 3 days. I went snowboarding every day and when I came home I was so tired that playing wasnīt an option.

I knew Iīd get comments for this flop. I donīt claim my play to be good, but Iīll give u my reasoning. Our flop play depends on what range we assign to him, and given preflop action I weightened his range towards 22-55, what makes this a "either lose a big pot or win a small pot" situation. I figured he had very few draws in his range and therefore decided to slowplay to let him bluff off chips w/ his missed ppīs, in case weīre ahead heīs drawing to 2 outs mostly.



I gonna get something to eat now and will be on the grind tonight, will post hands later.

Hand 1: I like it if villain is tight. With a loose opp, he would call you down with an overpair/maybe top pair.

Hand 2: Maybe push flop? If villain is pushing any turn, he will call a push on flop as he will get better then 2-1 pot odds. And you might have surprising calls from AJ or TJ who would fold if a flush card comes on turn.

Hand 3: depending on opp, I might check turn behind as we have a good showdown value. By betting turn you're making your hand into a bluff.

Hand 4: I play on Ongame and there a move like this would get very often 1 call and we would be in a very bad spot ... I prefer a hand like T9s.

Hand 5: yup, call is bad ...

Hand 1: I do this too much, too. Even if V is tight, his range gets smaller on the flop and the turn to the point where he's calling the river a really high % of the time.

3: I like it as played, it sucks but I don't think I'd play this any differently without a read.

4 & 5: Yep, spewey.

My small experience shows that these kind of move, if conditinos apply (i.e. tight opp, your image is tight, 100NL & 200NL) is +EV.

#1 was just...his line screams 33/77. Vs this type of villian its probably +ev.


Todays session just sucked. I can say I played my A-game and did well. The cards still made me a loser and so Iīm finally back to break even this month. Had a shortie on my tables who flopped 4 (FOUR) sets vs me pf AI where I was never worse than 1:1. Funny stuff happened, it still sucks when u manage to throw villians off their game and they get rewarded. Dont wanna complain, I took a shitload of sklansky$ home tonight lol

#1 Not the best play, I know. SB is 13/11 and we sat next to each other on 5 or 6 tables, stealing and 3betting each other all night. His 3betting range should be wide enough to play him postflop.

Hand 1: The thing once you raise flop you cannot fold if villain pushes as you'll get better 2-1 odds ... vs that villain what about calling (you might even even a free turn card) ...

Hand 2: Why not 4bet to $72 and call a shove? Anyway you got the best of hit and were unlucky!!

Hand 3: Unlucky!! Don't worry mate, try to look at the big picture (3 months ago you were playing 100NL, now you have a pretty nice BR for 200NL Wink)
