Does any of you have a good mod for the new Ongame client? I had a good one before but it doesn't work with the new one of course  The default table layout is pretty bad IMO ...

Actually, they decided to change the HH folder. I wonder who is the project manager of their software? He should be fired!!! Just follow here Ongame update - Holdem Manager Forums and it's explained how to solve it. |

Some more stuff to think about, thanks Girah : What’s the number one strategy you always utilise during your sessions? ABC poker for example? The number one strategy I always utilise during my sessions is definitely adjustments. I think that’s my big strength in Poker and what I do better than most. I think a lot of people wait too long until they have adjust because they don’t really understand Bayesian probability. Basically, no matter what simple size you have, you can still make adjustments according to what you see, as long as any time you acquire new information, you keep adjusting. For example, I played a hand a few months ago where I had 76s HU, villain raised on the BTN, I flatted in the BB. The flop came down Q86 I c/c’d, turn was a T I checked, he checked behind, river was a 2 and I c/c’d, he had AT. At first I didn’t think much of it, but then I realized the extent of the adjustments I can make from it. I can infer his turn betting range is extremely polarized, as his value range is Qx+, therefore if he’s betting it at a high frequency he’ll be bluffing a lot, and if he’s betting it at a low frequency he will be value betting a lot. Therefore, I can make the adjustment to never raise his turn bet(because raising against a polarized range is mostly pointless; all better calls, all worse folds) and instead, raise his bet/check/bet line a lot, as it will include mostly weak 2nd pair hands he checked behind on the turn. Furthermore, if he’s betting turns polarized at a low frequency, I can c/c flops wider and expect to get to SD more often. This is just one example of the amount of information you can get from one hand. The entire interview : Blog — José “Girah” Macedo — Pro Poker Player I sorta do this intuitively, but having a clear strategy in mind and adjusting accordingly is certainly better. In the example above, I usually can tell he has Tx, and assume they call my river c/r because of lol image so I just c/f usually. Instead, I should widen my value c/r range to JJ+, or use c/r overbet to actually put him to a tough decision with his bluffcatcher. And keep readjusting as we go. |

back from NYC, i love that city. I like that it's so diverse in every way possible. I love that it has so much character. I don't looove the people, but I appreciate the "fuck you" attitude, the honking, and how they just don't give a shit. I also love the nightlife, prob even better than Montreal since you have more to choose from. One night after bar hopping, some tourists were hailing a cab, cab stops, one chick just runs and cuts them off, gets in the cab, and as they are yelling at her, she opens her window and shouts "Welcome to NY motherfuckers!!!". That made my night. So I got back and don't feel like playing too much. BR kinda decimated to 15k ish after withdrawals and downswing. I decided I'll use an aggro BR strategy from now on. 15 BI for each level, drop down if I lose 4 buyins. I just played my 1st sesh and dropped exactly 4 buyins at 5/10, so 3/6 next sesh it looks like. At least it will bring some excitement and hopefully prevent me to go busto. Fun hand near the end of my sesh: $5/$10 No Limit Holdem OnGame 5 Players Hand Conversion Powered by weaktight.com Stacks: UTG ($774.75) CO ($1,000) BTN ($992.75) alexos (SB) ($1,023) BB ($2,329) Pre-Flop: ($15, 5 players) alexos is SB   1 fold, CO raises to $30, 1 fold, alexos raises to $135, 1 fold, CO calls $95 Flop:    ($270, 2 players)alexos bets $170, CO calls $170 Turn:  ($610, 2 players)alexos bets $718, CO calls $690 River:  ($2,018, 2 players)Final Pot: $2,018 CO shows   alexos shows CO wins $2,002 (net +$1,017) alexos collects $28 (net -$995) |

I just read this operation from the beginning, and got inspired. What can I say, it is a contest-winning blog after all. :P So yah I think the key to winning in today's poker environment is to play in softer games. Truth is, the games were a bit softer back then, or at least, there were less competent regs fighting for the fish. Now it's harder to get into these softer games because bumhunters are just always quicker to get these seats usually, since they only have like 2 tables up all day. I also had a chat with an old crypto reg a few weeks ago. He's still winning hundreds of thousands. He told me he just plays great tables, even if it means 2 tabling for a while. He also has great work ethic, logging in about 40hrs a week and taking weekends off. I've never been battling so hard, to try and figure out a way to really succeed, and that's encouraging i think. Anyway, just put in a sesh and recouped some of the losses of earlier. Having a low BR is a fun challenge, and the first pages of this thread reminded me it's not so bad after all. |

Slowly getting back on the grind, trying to rebuild my roll after cashing out a bunch and also downswinging last month. Alas, I ran into too many AA today! AK, AQ, KK all ran into AA in pretty sweet spots, but also deep. And AA ran into 55 preflop I did some filters this morning and realized that when I 3b and see a flop (excluding QQ+,AK), I lose a bunch of money. I'm also getting 4b a ton lately and every time I ship it in they have it. Obviously some of this might be due to variance but I'm gonna try to lay low a bit on the 3b, maybe 6-7% for the next little while and see what gives. I'm playing pretty well tbh, so just wishing for some pre-WSOP run good this month. I promise I'll have a decent work ethic! BR $14.6k. Nonpoker stuff: Knee is feeling pretty good 6months after surgery. I started to jog last week and it's going well, and I'll try to ramp up the exercises soon to get ready for some hockey/tennis/golf for early August. Can't wait! |

  I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong which is the biggest problem of all. Yeah sometimes I do tilt slightly and while that's definitely something to improve on, it's not the reason for this. I can't even blame it on the runbad apparently so it just means I probably suck at poker? Anyways I'm gonna take it easy with 2 weeks to go before Vegas, gonna play whenever I feel like it and just try to runup this 4k roll slowly. It's all good. |

Grif - I checked my positional stats for the past 100k hands and it looks like I'm losing a ton from the blinds, and if I remember correctly you had the same issue? We should do something about that. I do think 3betting a lot vs steals is definitely correct, but it could be that I'm 5b shoving incorrect hands/frequencies, or leaking postflop massively in these situations. This is #1 on my list of stuff to improve, not close. --> Board textures after 3betting oop, vs opponent tendencies and ranges. It's a start. |

Things I've been doing well these past 100k hands: UTG opening 4x and about 18% in 5max --> big winner from utg. Somehow I'm cbetting about 10% less from utg and I am from BTN, doesn't make much sense. So a potential leak is cbetting too much from BTN (even tho its only 65%) |

|
||
| I'm also opening 18% from UTG, but my cbet% from there is almost identical to my cbet from the BTN which is 67%. | ||
|
|
|||
| griffey24 |

Yah blind play is a big leak. I think I'm potentially NOT 3betting enough and just folding too many hands. It also seems as though I lose a very high % of the time I 3bet and get called - I think a big part of it is bad variance but even still. I don' think you can view your cbet % on button vs utg as a leak. Its probably not bad to be cbetting more IP than you would OOP. Though I'm pretty sure my cbet is higher from UTG than button, just due to stronger ranges. |

Obviously the positional results don't mean much since it's only 100k hands, but logically I should cbet more when my range is strongest (UTG), and cbet less when my range is weakest (BTN) everyone agree on that? |

Yeah I didn't think about the IP vs OOP thing, but it's definitely the main reason I'm cbetting less UTG now that I think of it. Another thing to consider is I 4x it from utg and 2x from btn, so ranges that call me will be way stronger in the first scenario and way weaker in the second, which will affect cbet success. So basically it's prob not a leak if we do it on the correct board textures and opponent specific. On to the next one. |

Same ol' 2/4 to 10/20, some higher, but mostly losing at anything over 5/10 (obv). So I guess all is good, I now have a decent roll to play anything I want. It's unlikely I update this thing again, as it's mostly gonna be either brag graphs or whining about running bad, and I don't have the dedication to write anything constructive either.

Glad to hear things are going well! This was my favorite blog, so I'm sad to see it die  Any liveament plans in the near future?Not much new with me! I'm a tourney donk as always, although lately it's been SnGs so that I can hit Supernova. Thinking about playing cash games in the new year since I'm getting sick of button clicking in tourneys, so I might have to bug you on MSN when that happens
