1) why for do you not bet blank turn?
You may be inducing a bluff on the river, but without a read?
2) Do we think he can fold to a $12 bet > 35%? We might beat like 5% of his range here, so I hate to just check if we can find a way to profitably bluff. It's great for metagame, too.

in #1 I felt like his range is so weak, that I wont get more than two streets of value anyway. It seems to me, that a bet - check - bet line usually gets a second call more often than a bet - bet - bet/check line. Im rarely firing this turn with air and theres a decent chance at these tables that opponent will bet the river turning his 86/44/A2 into a bluff. Im not a big fan of pot controlling turns, but it seems to work good for value.
Not sure what to make of #2, I figure to have some sd value and he won´t ever fold any heart. I may very well get him off AJ/KQ/AQ tho.

Its those spots where I probably level myself with "oh noes I almost never bluff here so I cant bet for value".
This month still sucks as Im still in the red (basically I am since Dec 08). Lot of pressure on my roll since semester fees are due and some bills want to be paid, so 50nl is my place to be right now. Friend of mine offered to stake me for 100nl again and I may accept that generous offer, I think I gotta go plugging some before. First half of exams will be done by thursday and by then Im gonna have enough time to dedicate to poker again. Gonna look into bluefire vids then and finally fix my HM, which is missing lots of hands lately on ongame.

haha, I hate this hand I talked to several people about this hand and got suggestions ranging from b/f flop, b/f turn, c/c flop and now b/f river. I´ll add that the BTN and I don´t have history and his numbers look nit-taggish.

I think probably b/f turn is correct, but at the time I probably play the same as you (planning to c/c non-diamond rivers)

Just playing to improve.

Hand is posted here for further discussion.
Off topic:
Since like half of the OPs around deal with getting in shape as well I´m gonna write a bit about my progress.
I´m gonna be in sick shape this summer. After chilling out almost the entire december I got back to the gym and my running shoes. I´m out running three times a week, getting in 15 to 20km/week. The weather sucks big time, as we still have loads of snow and ice and it´s kinda hard to run a decent average. I´ve signed up for the Hannover half marathon in early May and am aiming at <1:35hrs. I´m gonna run the HM with a friend mine and he´s already ahead of me.
Bike- and skateparks are closed, so that theres gonna be no dirtjumping and dh training the next weeks, until the tracks are free from snow again I´m sticking with snowboarding to get my weekly fix of gravity and speed.
To improve overall strength and body tension and to lower the risk of getting injured when Im racing Im hitting the gym three times a week and am indoor climbing two times a week. Basically I just began to climb, but got all hooked up. Looking forward to go climbing outdoor when the spring arrives.

GL w/ the HM. 1:35 is way faster than I'll run. I've been a distance runner for 30+ years - I started when I was a little kid. I really like what the running craze has done for the sport with so many quality road races and courses and support nearly every weekend of the year. So best of luck. I hope it all works out for you, especially the half marathon.

Im bored. Wrote my final exam in business law this morning and should now be studying monopoly regulation theory for tomorrow morning, but meh.
Back to the "scare cards"-thingy.I got his from watching a training vid, but I feel like I should put it in words on my own to fully understand the concept.
What it comes down to is that a scare usually polarizes our opponents betting ranges, ie he´s more likely to continue with his bluffs and less likely to valuebet the thinner part of his range. Im struggling to filter a good example from HM, but imagine we call a decent aggressive players BTN open in the BB with A7s
He may open like
{22+,A2s+,K2s+,Q9s+,J9s+,T8s+,97s+,86s+,75s+,64s+, 54s,43s,32s,
A5o+,KTo+,QTo+,J9o+,T8o+,98o,87o,76o,65o,54o,43o}
Flop 7d Jc 5c
A tight cbetting range
{88+,7c7h,7c7s,7h7s,66,5c5h,5c5s,5h5s,AQs+,AdJd,Ah Jh,AsJs,ATs-A8s,Ac7c,Ah7h,As7s,A6s,Ac5c,Ah5h,As5s,A4s-A2s,KQs,KdJd,KhJh,KsJs,QdJd,QhJh,QsJs,JdTd,JhTh,Js Ts,T9s,98s,8c7c,
8h7h,8s7s,7c6c,7h6h,7s6s,6c5c,6h5h,6s5s,5c4c,5h4h, 5s4s,ATo+,KcJd,
KcJh,KcJs,KdJh,KdJs,KhJd,KhJs,KsJd,KsJh,QcJh,QcJs, QdJc,QdJh,QdJs,
QhJc,QhJs,QsJc,QsJh,JcTd,JcTh,JcTs,JhTc,JhTd,JhTs, JsTc,JsTd,JsTh,
T9o,98o,87o,76o,65o,54o,43o}
basically any pair and 4 outs+ draws and we have 54% equity.
Turn brings the Kh and since our villian has been told at DC/CR/2p2/FTR that this is a good card to double barrel, so he goes ahead and fires all of his bluffs and semi bluffs along with his nut range. Interesting thing is, that most villians are not thinly value betting their in between pairs like a J or TT. So although an overcard to our pair rolled off our equity has gone up to 64% vs {JJ+,7c7h,7c7s,7h7s,66,5c5h,5c5s,5h5s,AQs+,ATs-A8s,A6s,A4s-A2s,KQs,KdJd,KhJh,KsJs,QdJd,QhJh,QsJs,T9s,98s,8c7c ,8h7h,8s7s,7c6c,
7h6h,7s6s,6c5c,6h5h,6s5s,5c4c,5h4h,5s4s,ATo+,KcJd, KcJh,KcJs,KdJh,
KdJs,KhJd,KhJs,KsJd,KsJh,T9o,98o,87o,76o,65o,54o,4 3o}
Could be my ranges are a bit off, cuz Im not very focused. Comments and duscussion appreciated.

I'm running through scenarios in my mind. I definitely think you're right. Villains with a reasonably wide stealing range often fail to play their medium strength hands aggressively. Interesting how the equity works out in this hand.
I suck at bluff-catching (usually 'cuz I'm nut-catching instead), but the ranges to make sense, imo. Intriguing stuff.

Will this shit ever stop?
Im so tilted and upset right now. It´s my first day into semester break and was so excited to have time to really grind again and I get smacked right in the face. Fucking HM missed the HHs, but I just had AA<KK pfai, JJ<44 on J47 and 99<QQ on 934 witin 20 minutes, along with a couple of smaller beats and some spew I dropped 5 BI in no time, shortly before I had this month in the green again. FML. I know, variance blah blah but this fucking variance shit going on for months is driving me fucking insane. Im thinking about quitting again in the back of my head, but theres no way I can´t beat these games. Seriously, wtf is going on?
This post sounds so fishy and stupid even to myself, but I can´t see where this is grind is going to take me? How am I supposed to stay motivated and focused to play well, when I get shit no matter what I do?
I do study and analyze. I do eat and sleep well. I follow decent BRM. I do workout and do have a social life outside poker. I am aware of when I do well and when I suck. I see what my opponents are doing and adjust accordingly. I do not let specific hands during a session have an impact on my state of mind. And still all I get is a kick in the balls in the end. 18 BI below ev over 80k hands yadda yadda (and thats only the ai coolers). Im not far from seriously considering riggedness. I never believed in doom-/boomswitches, but fuck, what else is this suposed to be?

Pretty scary that article, since I could be considered a long time loser by the time Im writing this (in the red over 80k lol)
I got a stake from a friend on FT and got everything there ready to grind last night, setting up the HUD, trying out different card mods and stuff all while playing some 25NL to get used to the new sw. I forgot how sweet the FT sw is. BR hovers now around 2k, gonna jump back to 100nl at 2.5k.

#1: I call, the runner runner fish hit, but our range is pretty weak so the fish could be trying to steal the pot and we have top2. Yup bet bigger turn.
#2: I'm happy to check behind, here, either we are way behind any pair or way in front of anything else and plus we have position. If he has 77-88 he would never fold to a flop bet after calling a 4bet with it.

Im not sure about the AJ, but you´re prob right about A5/A4/A9. I get scared, when the passives suddenly wake up, but in hindsight folding seems sucky.
Feb wasn´t a good month at all. Actually, I ran like dog shit at ongame and took like enough beats for months. 18+ buy in gap between ai EV and $won puts me on life tilt. Going thru HM I realized, how I took that run as an excuse to not look at the hands I butchered. I´m playing horrible damnit! It´s like my plays make total sense to me during the hand and when I get back to them few days later I feel too embarrassed to even post some of them here.
Getting a stake at FT is a good thing. I feel comfortable there and can´t say that 50nl plays a lot different than on euro sites. Overall I haven´t got into many 3-/4betting wars and can´t remember tangling with specific opponents. I´m grinding along and get stacked by feesh, over 50k hands at ongame I´m up on most "regulars" and have several 44/7 types vs whom I´m down one or two buy ins each. Depressing to see the bad players beat the shit out of me.
I lost my track somewhere after the first multi buy in drop in Jan. It´s like I got sucked out on a bit and then decided to play almost exclusively a showdown game vs the donks. The old micro stakes mantra of "make a hand, take them to value town". As a result I got raped in non-SD pots and the reliance on few big hands per session made my variance skyrocket, along with phases of insane monkeytilt, when things like JJ<44 on J42 occured.

As stated in the Feb results thread, I crossed out the word "March" in my calendar and replaced it by "moniez". Let´s see if I can do it.
I´m gonna work on my non-SD game. I need to actually stop autopiloting and begin to read hands. I´m probably gonna spew horribly in some places, but I really need to get away from this TP-camping shit.
Hand 3 38/33/2 villian. Basically my only reason is, that his line doesnt make much sense to me and that I figure to have 40%+ vs his range of all sorts of FDs, 2pr, TP and straight draws

#1: The problem is that he is repping only a FH ... a 1 AF guy is not pushing worst here ... maybe flush at worse ...
In the heat I think I call, but seeing the hand I would say it's a fold.
#2: Tough fold. Nity is not bluffing missed draws here vs your line.
#3: I Jam the flop. Our equity on the turn goes down a lot if we don't hit.
#4: I would call vs this guy and never 3bet with that hand.
#5: Why do you take an average hand here to bluff the river? better take a complete bluff.
#6: Why do you bet over pot on the river? Do you think that villain can fold an Ace? If you put him more on a FD then $20 would be enough.

1) std
2) I call. I see AT and AK here.
3) Scared TP hand maybe? Hate to get it in on the turn rather than the flop, but this way it looks a lot less like a draw.
4) I didn't like the c-bet on the flop, but now I've changed my mind. It worked for pot control because he differed to you later. The river call is std against a player who is certainly capable of bluffing.
5) Is he good enough to lay a straight here? Is he even good enough to lay 2p?
6) This is an awfully expensive bluff. Why try to make bad players lay hands? On this board, it's a rare good spot to bluff a busted draw, but does it work 60% of the time against dominic?

Thanks guys.
On #5, I rarely, if ever get here with less than TP, so I am bluffing the bottom of my range. Actually turn is more questionable, but his sizing made me elect to call. I´m pretty sure he mucks 2pr, not sure about the Jx.
#6 is expensive, yes. I just figured, that this person has way more in his range than pair+, I´ll give him credit for calling down loads of FD´s and gutters and don´t have any Sd value vs those 36s and KTs

How'd we miss the turn on #5? It's like the theory of greater pain, it looked fine when we saw the river.
When I went back to the turn, I was thinking that this is fine if we intend to bluff scare cards AND we think he can fold a good portion of his range when a flush hits. I think the flush is still in his range, so this whole line is really borderline.
The call on the river sucks, the fold makes the turn suck even more, the push has some merit based on the scare card. Still, I think folding is the best play.

You´re prob right there.
Ongame has me still on lifetilt/doomswitch. after doing well at FT I loaded some 100nl tables at tower at got stacked again right off the bat. Gotta admit that most of it was pretty spewy, tilting after losing two flips and a couple of small pot beats. The nightmare continues, its like almost always when I catch a hand they either have the nuts or total air they fold on the flop. Driving me insane, literally.

Take a break man. February ended REALLY bad for me. I gave myself a day off for perspective, considering taking my money out of my main site, etc. I was considering a lot of stuff like playing on another site without RB or just going back to live poker. After a couple of days I was just like, wtf, it's variance, it got to me. A few nights sleep and I had perspective on it. I'm a winning player, so are you. Just keep playing, and do everything you can to forget shit like "they either have the nuts or total air". You have an edge, you WILL win over time. Simple.

Ya, I need to take time off ongame. Im doing well at FT, but am tilted badly towards the games at ongame. Again I make the mistake of focusing too much on all the beats I take and not enough on the times I fuck things up myself. I cant get a foot on the ground since months there and I´ve let buddies check the big pots and blame variance and shit. Thing is, the longer a bad run lasts, the higher are your emotional expectations to finally win a fucking stack. I need to stop whining, but it´s so hard to take such a run over 10 weeks. I see how this shit has worn down myself and I´m playing very poorly there, which tilts me even more.

I like the first hand. If he knows we're floating him a lot, especially on a dry board like that, he can easily put us on a king.
I hate flatting a single raise with aces pre-flop, but this type of play has worked fairly well against my laggtard ass enough, so I can't really say it sucks. There's a lot of draws in there but I think the most likely holdings are like 88 and JJ. Slightly ahead/way behind... The bet is just too big.

Title change, since making pancakes has shown to be a powerful tool of tilt control for me. As I´m writing this, I´m running between the kitchen and my comp, listening to Jewel and making awesome pancakes. Actually I´m using an instant pancakes mix, cuz I´m a lazy ass but they still can be considered "awesome". I´ve found, that using resolidified butter is the key to deliciouseness. I can´t eat as many pancakes as I´d like to make, which let´s me see myself opening a pancake bakery and getting rich of other people having breakfast. not a bad idea, since they aren´t yet as popular here as they are in other parts of the world.
I prefer them with chocolate chips and bananas, with blueberries or with peanutbutter and jam. I´m gonna try out some sort of "multigloboincredibilo fitness pancake" with protein powder and oatmeal soon.

yummy yummy

I think I made myself a lot of money last night by checking the flash games thread isntead of playing tired.
Visited the CeBit yesterday, I think it´s the worlds largest IT-fair. Not too many interesting things for compatrds like me, I just let flashy lights and hot hostesses lead me thru the halls.

I had a decent day! I played more than threethousand hands of shorthanded no boundaries hold thems and it feels like 10k hands.
I started out at ongames 50nl and something triggered the spew button:
#1 I´m not sure about cbetting the flop, the villian runs 29/15. Turn is kinda meh, I dont figure to have much SD value even with TPTK, hence b/f to get him off TT/JJ

#1 I don't think you're getting him off TT/JJ. I think I check back and maybe call a fishy bet on the river.
#2 Is this one of those river bets where you just hope V folds so that you don't have to show your hand?
#3 no comment.
#4 If you've been quiet on this table I like a shove, but if you've been building up a laggtard image, then no.
#5 Wheeeeeeeeeee!

It´s not that type of bet in #2, Im happy to show down rags in 3bet pots. It´s more like dumb bluff, cuz his line doesnt indicate too much strength. I´ve been in line at the table in hand 5, so I think a shove would have been cool. Yet I gave up and lost to KK.

So things seem to slowly come back. I dont wanna praise the day before the sun has settled, but the beats have come a lower and more bearable level.

Weekend.
I just got up and make pancakes for breakfast and a huge cup of coffee. Went to play a 5NL homegame at a friend´s last night and had quite a lot of fun. I was running an estimated 75/50 or so and did outflop them nits quite good. Unfortunately I lost a 450BB pot vs K high 
Online poker will continue for me in a minute. Let me get a shower first and then I´m gonna hit FT.
