I gotta admit, I dont know about the maths, but generally speaking you've got the right conclusion, which is that the less skill advantage, the more willing you should be to take small edges, or...

Hey there Robb. Sorry, completly missed the essay comp, congrats on winning. Some comments occurred to me, thought I'd mention them here.

You kind of mention this, and hopefully folks can work it...

When you say isolating isolators, you really mean 3-bet bluffing them? To me its a sign of whos paying attention and thinking about their play. I'll do it a bit and see how they react. Likewise...

Wow, I really havnt kept up on reading others blogs. Self obsessed lately I guess :(. Shitty to hear you've had even worse downswing issues. Lately seems like half of FTR is. Heres hoping we both...

Just dont overadjust and start giving unknowns (even reggy ones) credit for thinking too well either.

I'm still running about 21/17 and beating 100nl healthily. No need to open up too much. If its...

Btw, fold 99 to the 3bet. Even with position you cant continue profitably there. Hand 1 just flat turn and river if you want to continue. 9Ts is a shitty spot after getting 2 callers on the turn. We...

Its an ongoing decision as we move up. Money or education. It all sounds well and good to focus on improving all the time, but either we get a taste of the returns and want more, or we just get tired...

I think double quads at the same time is worthy of a short whine ;)

Yeah, I've started cbetting boards that I usually wouldnt because I expect to get called a lot, but where a lot of turn cards will give me good double barrel spots.

My openning range is nearly identical until you get to the CO, then your range just explodes, so basically you're just abusing the hell out of position? Very wide 3-bet/squeeze range too, which is...

I really struggle with that opening up plan. I'd love to get better at it, but I dont seem to handle it. I really seem to struggle with working out exactly when is the right time to apply extra...

I watched it ages ago, still have it somewhere. I'm not convinced its a great idea. I've never had particular problems with people who do it v's me. You're basically offering terrific pot odds to the...

fwiw, I believe I do get 3-bet more by openning to 3x OTB, however its easy enough to counter that by 4-bet bluffing slightly more (instant profit), and I lose less when I fold anyway. Also a higher...

Take for instance AK. We dont mind calls, but frankly we dont mind folds either. Playing AK OOP is a touchy spot regardless of if we hit or not. Stronger flatting range doesnt really matter much,...

Its not just our strong range. Also:

- We're happier to just take it down PF since we'll almost certainly be OOP postflop.

- Make odds less attractive after calls. Consider if we raise UTG and...

My btn raise is 3x and my SB raise is either 3x or 4x depending on the player in the BB. Other than that I just mash the bet pot button.

1. Problem here is your hand is basically 23o postflop. So, I like the idea, but we have very little equity when called. I think you got lucky and folded a JJ-KK type hand here, possibly a weak Ax. I...

Lol. At worst you're building up a nice buffer to help you ride out the negative variance later and give you time to work on your game if you're not there yet. Dont worry too much about heatering,...

8 buyins? Wow, thats an $800 day. Dwarfs my best day Robb. Awesome job.

Congrats on the big month Robb!! Man, you've come along way, kicking ass!

I guess its probably part of your game, but work in 4-bet bluffs at 100nl and keep your red line up nicely :)

Hey, good luck with this. BRM is definately a factor of how comfortable you are. I like aggressive BRM because I want to move up as fast as I can, however I'm not convinced its best for me given how...

Shitty spot. Might just flat the flop donk, especially if you read that as having something rather than bluffing you. As Paul points out, you dont have a heap of equity, stacking off here as a dog...

You know on Stars you dont need to keep the money there? Obviously depends how fluid your RL cash is, but you can deposit cash outside of your roll, wait 2 days (I think) then withdraw it back out...

Hey Robb, thought I'd quote you something I wrote in my Op a while back:



Thats basically the gist of what I was getting at with the 3-bet stuff (and Spenda was the one who mostly openned my...

This is what will keep you a winning player Robb. Nice stuff.
