Operation Get Better

Yey for GF, hopefully yey for poker thinking. Lets catch up about it on MSN!

Thank you! Up 3.5 buyins in just over my first 1k hands. Can't say if I am running poorly or not because I won't look at my EV until the end of the month.

I really want to play more again and go back to my healthier ways as I have really gone downhill since Feb.

Sigh I had to look at my EV today in my quick before I go to bed session to keep sane. I'm running horribly of course . Even though I finished down $65 I'm up $25 in EV so that's ok I guess. I really think I played some hands poorly too so wanted to make sure that even with my mistakes I was still playing profitable poker and didn't tilt too badly.

This hand was against a TAG playing like 20/18 but was verrrry aggressive on flops and almost always checked turns. I thought he couldn't rep. really anything so my 88 was possibly good. When the A hits on the river I go ahead and bluff as I think his now 99/TT auto muck. I thought for sure I would win this hand no matter what by betting.

oh yeah was up over 6 buyins in the past two days which is really encouraging. I'd assume I'm up a good amount with EV adjusted. I'm basically looking at reads more and trying to exploit postflop tendencies, which can be adjusted preflop too. I'm also finding good spots to 3bet bluff/4bet bluff too.

lol, f'ked if I know what he has. Who the heck check raises flop and checks turn only to c/r river? Some kind of weird 67 is the only thing I can think of unless he's just over the moon in love with c/r'ing his monsters and it doesnt occur to him to actually bet the turn with his set.

Heh I know! I put him squarely on 666 but still that's tough to do. Should have just called and seen wtf he had but he raised river semi fast.

Tbh, I think the bet on the river was bad. 99/TT is such a small part of his range, I'd take the free showdown. Your 8s could be good, but he doesnt fold many better or call with many worse. I think you tried to overthink the situation there.

I dont think it does a great job of representing the ace either, after you checked the turn. Its definately in your range, but not the only hand.

Holy... why are you betting that river?? Just check back 100%... it's not like he's folding Jx too often anyhow.

oh and also... not sure how I missed this...

I just don't see how he would play a Jx that way by raising the flop and I don't see him calling preflop with 76, Ben. I'm not saying I am happy with my play but these were/are just my thoughts.

And thanks Griff! Hopefully variance doesn't set in when I ask my parents about my potential plans this summer.

None of his play makes sense, but neither does betting that river.

Hey pal, glad to see you're still at it. I'm thinking about getting back into it myself.

I don't know dude.. I think lots of ppl c/r JT-AJ type hands for protection.. and now check the turn A since they are afraid.. but will prob c/c riv.

FWIW I've been doing more of the exploiting their tendencies as opposed to really balancing my ranges/representing too much because these guys just don't give a shit.

Thomas - wtffffff what's up man? Def. come back! You can do the comic site plus poker imo...

But enough about that hand, I agree with you guys. I just thought by betting it allowed for the rare times he has 99/TT to fold but yeah it's bad.

Anyways, tried to grind back up from last night but lost a few at first and then went up 5 buyins in my last 200 hands. I ran really really sick hot. Didn't suck out, just hit sets and made a huge call in a 350bb HU pot (biggest of my 50NL career I think at least) so that was fun. I am up over 7 buyins in my past like 2.5k hands maybe? Me likey my new style. I started 8 tabling but that was too much for me, I need to cool it and stay at 6. I suggest reading some strat articles on this site. I understand things a lot better.

Niiice.

Now get on msn so we can chat about all this stuff you're doing .

check river behind. You are not representing much either

someone who has learnt that c-r flop lead turn is an incredibly strong line that will result in many folds. FWIW, that makes c-r flop lead turn a great bluff line vs some regs - be careful though

Whilst that might make sense, its kind of silly. The whole point of a c/r for value is to build a big pot, so why then miss an entire street of betting? Let alone potentially miss 2.

Hahaha. The comics were horrible. It didn't quite pan out.

I'm a bit lost right now. All I know is that I still have about 1.3k in my Stars account. I might have a little bit in FTP, but I'll have to check. To transfer funds, I think I was using ePass? I don't know if that site exists anymore. I had purchased copies for both PokerTracker 2 and Hold Em Manager, but I'm on a new computer now. I'm not sure if there's any way of getting them back. Did HEM have a HUD? Was I even using a HUD last year? Lord, my memory is terrible. On top of it all, I'm probably rusty as hell, and I think I was a loser at 50nl to begin with. I'll probably have to reeducate myself at 25nl for a while.

In short, there's a lot to sort out before getting back on my feet. If you ever get a spare minute, hit me up on MSN or AIM. I thought you'd be crushing 400nl by now. :P

Yeah man wish I could just run less bad. I'm not great but for fuck's sake I'll be damned if I shouldn't have a shit ton more money with EV. Fuck this game. Enjoy the swings.

I made some mistakes today but not many imo and get shat on constantly. Down 4 buyins again in EV JUST on this computer. I know at my other one I'm down a ton there too. Yep I broke my "don't look at my EV until the end of the month" rule. Would have SWORN there was an "it all evens out in the long run" rule. Well, fuck time to play 10 million hands.

edit: I won't delete the previous stuff but come on man when can I catch a break? Now I am of course doubting the new way I'm trying to play. Fuck man, I can't get this shit right EVER. Everyone who I talk to who I haven't in awhile ask "wait what the fuck you are still at 50NL?!" Fuck this. I'm not cut out for this game I'm starting to believe. Been playing way too long. Fuck one session can fuck with your mind. I'm playing 10k more hands like my new way of thinking and if I'm fucking up then fuck me.

Maybe just not check results in HEM at all for the rest of the month? Literally just start the import running then minimise it. Never even click on the Cash tab.

New styles been working for you. Up 7, down 4, still leaves you up 3. You've been consistantly beating 50nl. Even when you're running below EV and getting pooped on, you're still churning out positive months at it. 100nl, bleh, we'll work on that, but keep in mind you're a winning player.

Thanks a lot Ben. The thing with not looking at my Cash tab is that I have to withdraw every other week anyways so I always am looking at my cashier anyways

Yeah, cant avoid that, but you're not monitoring it as closely.

anytime!

Btw, I hope you know this, and I know its hard, but when you're this tilted, please dont play . Go get some exercise or something.

BR management ftw grifffff!

ben - I like to play late late (like 3am late) because that's when I get a lot of fish and that's when I'm free so can't really exercise and can only sleep but when shit like that happens I can't sleep either.

Well, do something else. Watch a vid or something.

Btw, I really do think you should be doing a vid and sharing with a few of us.

I plan on at least writing a pretty big article sometime this week. Basically, I am finally starting to understand certain concepts, have talked to the creator of said concepts, yet am still not producing results thought I admit to some tilt/bad play on my part. I just want to make suer my line of thinking is correct because everything seems to make a lot more sense.

Since I know what you're talking about, I think its worth talking about how to apply those concepts to the games we play. Either msn or maybe I'll put some thoughts together myself.

Completely agree which is in fact why I am going to decide to write it. I think some concepts can only apply to higher limits but most of them can apply to like 50NL and below...probably more 200NL below but I have never played at 200NL so only going by others how it plays similary to 100NL. I just think some of the stuff has been overlooked by most who have read it. Basically, I am hoping to come up with an article on how to play early streets in micro/small stakes games.

Yeah, you know I really think I should have phrased it differently. Its not a matter of applying them to the games we play, its a matter of making adjustments for certain types of villains, we just happen to run into more of them in our games. Sounds like a good plan though, you write it up and we can review it.

This shit is ridiculous haha. My EV doesn't do justice at all when I get hands like this:

Down 4 buyins today and finished up 5 yesterday. The funny part is that I admit to SOME bad play for sure but the coolers are endless. My style is dominating.

Sounds like you're still winning overall?

Less posting beats/coolers more posting interesting hands!

And videos.

And getting sweated.

And do that article you mentioned.

If you're not going to cold 4bet pre, then definitely definitely shove flop. There isn't enough behind to just be flatting anyhow.

Griff - that's the thing, at these stakes you see people bet/folding with ridiculous odds which is why I just flatted. I'm basically pricing myself in when I know I can get his stack easier.

ok at the same time... at those stakes aren't ppl calling shoves with draws.. withOUT the correct odds?.. in which case we should shove....? hmmm

I think flatting here is just some form of FPS really... also when he's donking way too many draws like QJ/AJ/J9 etc are possible here.. which I doubt they are folding on flop.

Hmm, I missed that, I thought it was the PFR who bet flop, not the guy who called the three bet donking. I go with Griff in that case, get your TP in.

ummm.... get it in whoever it is!... I don't care if its the dealer who decided to make a bet... still get it in :P Fold If I'm betting though.. cause I always got the nutss

I figure the PFR is more likely to have a weaker hand he'll shove turn (or river) with, but would fold to a shove. I've seen some crazy b/f plays with a lot less behind than this. Obv shoving flop is fine but I dont think calling is a particularly bad mistake.

Once the other guy shows interest in the hand though its an easy shove on flop.

All I'm doing there is allowing myself to get his stack 100% of the time as opposed to the chances he folds to my raise on the flop. I see this happen a lot in my games. I wasn't really trying to get feedback on it. I also elected to flat pre to keep the bad player in. I had reads.

Anyways, down another 1.5 buyin in about 30 hands. AK < AA yay.

Booo, and get on msn!

Imo, you should DEF c/r that flop with AK given stacks. You don't want him to pot control a hand like KJ or QJ on turn since you're OOP thru all the hand, which hes stacking on flop anyway... I'm positive he would have called ur shove with AT/AJ u dont think?

I don't really see how its close either, the assumptions would have to be wayy to extreme and unlikely. But u had a sick read

Better luck in ur next sesh though, and see u in Vegas maybe??

I hope to God. I'm asking my parents this week as it's my birthday week.

I just played live poker again against idiots. I got 1 from the money with AA < TT on a T63tt flop to guys who go apeshit with bottom pair. I cannot win for the life of me.

Villain is a donk but not many hands to tell how aggro he is. The way I'm running I hate to see the 4 on the turn. Should I raise flop?

I like this. Flop is pretty dry really. He has to turn up with a fairly random 68 here for the 4 to be bad. Frankly a 34, 45, 56, 67 type hand is more likely. Not to mention a donk wont fold any J here, and could even have some kind of dumb JX that gives him 2P.

His overbet on turn is obviously a bit sickening, but I really think he can have 2P or Pair + draw and play the same way.

If you were last to act on flop I'd probably raise, but in your position I'd take the chance and just call here.

IP, dry board, nothing wrong with flat calling on the flop.

The 4 really only sucks a little bit. It's as likely to give someone 2p as it is to give them a straight, and you still have 10 outs to beat a straight.

I got lucky and hit on the river...gg 86s

I really just cannot win to save my life. Everytime I cbet with air I get called and such and it's just really frustrating. Everyone is catching hands against me when my range is dominating them completely ahhhh. I'm running above EV this session and I should be even EV wise it sucks. I'm not hitting any nut hands and it's really frustrating me. I got AA once and split with...AA. I got KK twice and got dominated by people calling with Ax. I've gotten coolered twice with QQ < KK after he flatted my 3bet pre and then AK < QQ on a KQx board in a 3bet pot when he donk shoves his pot sized stack into me. Both were against donks. Then I get another guy who had semi-nitty stats but got allin with TPWK with his stack earlier and lost JJ to his KK. I'm guessing these are coolers but this means I need my cbet pots to go well and they definitely are not.

I feel as if I should be playing extremely nitty because a lot of my players are loose aggros. This frustrates me as well. Also, I finally don't call with any SCs vs. EP raisers who are regs. I think I fixed that leak.

I have about 50% cbet, and cbet success of under 50%. Its just crazy.

There are times to slow play and times not to slowplay. The guy is betting into four ppl, so if there was any time that someone was making a "I have a real hand" statement.. this is it! And you have a huge hand, raiiiiiiiiise. Also you're giving ppl a cheap look at a free card when the only action you'll get on the turn is likely when they've hit a hand that beats you.

If this was HU .. sure slowplay sometimes.. but not when the guy is showing this much confidence in his hand multiway.

pick up chess imo

or PLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You need to find a way to have fun playing poker again imo. Play HU, play PLO, play HU PLO, donk around in freerolls, play live crazy pineapple or blind man's bluff with a bunch of friends, or even take a break until you feel good about playing again. Also, when my cbet pots are not going well, I'll start on a new table, raise my button, and just check down like A or K high or a small pair with someone who is playing passively out of the blinds, even on a dry board. I feel like I get a lot more respect on my cbets after this, particularly against the players in my blinds when I'm in the CO and BTN. Also note that it's not always a bad thing if people aren't folding to your cbets, adjust properly.

Yeah good posts really appreciate them. Poker hasn't really been "fun" for awhile. At least when I'm losing it sucks.

Whenever someone is showing a lot of strength, you should feel better about raising your strong hands harder/bigger than you normally would, without being worried about losing their action.

The other hand was because he was betting into a big field, and this hand is his turn bet sizing. He's betting pot which makes me feel like he's not going anywhere. I'd probably raise to around 21-22ish.

ul though, but you'll punish the fish in the long run!

Not really sure if FTRers are playing me ridiculously loose and hitting on purpose? Either way, yes, you tilted me. Also regs calling with K7 and me hitting NFD is fun. Fuck this game. I only play because it gains me money but not lately. I'm not playing badly either.

wow... this headspace is interesting.
I've been exploring where poker fits in my life recently.
Get better is my answer.

Also, stop getting your money in bad on the river (posted hand above....)

Thanks a lot man you have always been so extremely generous to not only me but everyone else. Much love!

I won't have internet access later tonight and not sure when I'll get it back...could be hours or weeks but really haven't played any poker this weekend. Went to VA Tech/Radford for Quadfest and just partied with my gf and roommate and our friends. Was a lot of fun.

I think you've been tilting a bit lately. Hopefully this break will help. Always around to chat if you need it man.

happpppyyyy belateddd bday homie!!!!

I'm very close to starting a "Ship kmizzle to Vegas" op thread.... operation will have various strategies on how to accomplish this. hmmm

So April ended up being really weird and I think I finished around even or so. Probably positive because of rakeback? Not quite sure as I have hands on another computer that are crucial.

Anyways, for May, I am in the process of redeveloping my ranges/game to try and mass multi-table more. The thing is, yeah it may stunt some of my growth but if this were to work my game would definitely be better as I'm really focusing on forming ranges. So far I played 1177 hands (all today) for +3 buyins, 1 buyin OVER EV which is meh/cool.

meh/cool... what exactly is meh/cool?

It's cool that I'm winning more money than I should but I'd rather win the same amount with running "normal".

I finish exams this week so should be able to play a lot afterwards. This summer should be interesting as I move out of my apartment and end my 3 years of living with my best friend . It should allow for far more poker playing but knowing me I'll slack.

Everyone runs hot sometimes. Stop looking at the evees and thinking hey i'm winning more than i should and focus on playing good solid poker.

Just finished one exam and was so pumped to start playing again. Hopefully I'd run hot again.

Only down 2 buyins overall so kind of cool I guess. I obviously wanted to play more but meh I need a break.

Concentrate on how well you played to only be down 2 buyins after all of that, rather than the beats/coolers themselves.

Thanks, Ben. Still not sure why my HEM messes up as a lot of times my report tab is different than my graph but ended up playing 711 hands total and just couldn't do it anymore. Just lost an 88%er for 80bb. Again, that said, I'm only down half a buyin now. EV wise + river not being a Q in that one hand + KK hand just not happening I'd be up at least 3 buyins so I'll take it.

Edit: Now up 2 buyins. Some dude donked his stack into me two consecutive hands. Lost AK = KQ < TT 3 way on a capped table meaning $15 is max bet. These table are most likely not worth my time but so far I am finding some easy easy money here.
