Just to clarify, I'm definitely not value c/r Q3 on that turn!

I mean I suppose it's kind of merged. I do expect to get called by worse and better sometimes. Mostly it's a bluff though and I think...

Thanks for the comments surviva!

haven't posted in this blog in a while, mostly cause i haven't played live in a while!

Live Play: GTO vs Exploitable

After my last few sessions I've been thinking I need to tweak my decision making in live games. This is mostly because my live games are 'computerized tables', and...

Haha yah for sure. The brutal part is, given effective stacks i think if I overbet jammed river I would get them both to fold their hands!

Went to woodbine today and once again didn't play my best. I've been...

Went to woodbine today, and played meh ok. Was up $230ish but should have been up at least $800-900. Made one pretty bad stack off.

Last few sessions I'm noticing that when I'm being very active,...

Had my first visit to woodbine of 2015. My goal is to go 15 times this year. The first didn't go particularly well, down $1350. First losing session in a long while!

Didn't play that well, but...

Haven't posted in a while. Mostly cause my wife and I had our first baby in October, I haven't played much! If by much, I mean not at all.

Went to woodbine today for a quick session, four hours...

5. Forgot one more hand from yesterday. Wasn't happy with this, but could be results oriented. One limp UTG, villain limps utg+1 ($500ish effective), I isolate LP to $25 with :as::8s:, both limpers...

Today was a pretty crazy swingy session at woodbine. Played around 6 hours, up $1450.

Went to woodbine today. Was my shortest session thus far, only playing about 4 hours. Was up $450. Was also a pretty uneventful session, and not sure if it was cause it was just short. The last few...

4. I agree, I would mostly always fold. but she was an aggro whale, potting it whenever checked to her type. Even still, I think this board sucks and should be a fold

5. Yah meh, this one is bad....

Went to woodbine today. I'm going to try to go at least 2 or 3 times in the next 4-5 weeks, cause my baby is due on Sept 29th and who knows how that's gonna kill my grind.

Ended up down around...

bean - -I haven't gotten any offers or anything. Mind you it's only really been at most 1.5 or so months. Maybe those offers would come in after a longer hiatus?

Had a session today. First session...

kmizzle! How you doing man? Whatcha been up to?

Thanks!

Haven't posted in a while it seems! Which probably makes sense as I haven't played a hand of poker in like 40+ days (online or live). I moved a couple weeks ago and everything has been revolving...

Went to woodbine today. Played for about 5.5 hours, up $900. Was a very swingy session. Was all-in a fair bit, and my vpip was like 28% for the day, with PFR probably around 25% (which is pretty high...

Yah QQ hand, I felt as though it was a run-out that I would bet/bet/check (to c/f) often with hands like QJ/KQ/KJ/78/all FD's (ie: I prob wouldn't run a triple bluff in this spot that often), and I...

Had my first losing session in a while today, and I was for sure due for that. Ran card dead, in the spots I did hit cards I ran bad, and in the spots I ran bluffs I ran bad with ppl hitting stuff....

Yah I agree with these points for sure.

Barring legalization of online poker in the US, poker will only get harder, so maintaining the status quo will get tougher. While technically a paying job...

Savy - Yah I agree, the decision to grind poker full time vs work full time is obviously 100% related to the difference between the job and poker options and the stability of the job etc.

Yah...

Yaah 1/2 game (min buyin $50 or $60 i think, max buyin $300)
2/5 is min buyin $100 and max $500
5/5 is min buyin $100 and max $1000

1/2 game is RIDICULOUSLY soft. Quite a few $60ish stacks, who...

Thanks Salsa!

There are a few reasons I'm not just quitting my job and full time grinding live.

1. Online poker has made me VERY skeptical overall, as it becomes clear to most grinders that...

My online grinding has REALLY been taking a hit lately. Summer here, playing lots of sports, new house prep and grinding live have all been a factor. I'd like to have some reasonable balance of like...

Went to woodbine today, only went for a few hours. Was planning on doing a long grind but was feeling kinda tired and the fish at the table had left, so just played 4 hours. Was up $1k today.
