OP: lolgrindaments

My main goal atm is to grind a roll for 25nl before September 8th because idk how much I can play after that. I plan on taking a 10 buy-in shot at $550 and dropping down if it doesn't go well. I'm gonna be 9 tabling 10nl fr to clear goldstar this month because i kinda got a late start on it with vacation. So thats all for now I guess, broll: 304; VPPs to goldstar: 2235

LOLmoment of the day: weaktight | Hand | AA - $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Holdem
villain is a 12/7 reg over a few hundred hands, thought he was going to be folding his small pairs to 3bets given how bad they're going to play post without proper implied odds. QJ is possible but that seems like it would be the very bottom of his continuing range pre, so i expect to seem some weakish top pair or 2nd pair hands with good kickers or some crazy combo draws a lot here. QQ and JJ are also possible except I think hes often 4betting those a fair % of the time pre
Lifetilting? overadjustaments? Misclicks? such confusion.

oh, this the hand you were telling me about last night newfish? the "reg calling a shove with an underpair when you have aces" bit seems familiar.

I mean 'familiar' as in 'happened to you and definitely not me' of course.

villain is running 51/19 over 37 hands and no other relevant reads. Thoughts on jamming river vs near potting? Thoughts on overbetting turn to shove river for like 1.5x instead of 2.5x?

The river shove is a solid play vs a villian that is running at 50/19 because at the end of the day he is calling with so many hearts that you are crushing into next May.

Btw, adding that villain in this hand is an ftr reg jfc

Preflop: Rough opening range for him utg is 66+, AQ+, AJs. I feel like I can definitely definitely call here playing IP post, and although I know that 3betting may get value from 77-TT preflop, but i think that flatting and keeping his range wide is alatmoar +EV.
Flop: I think my perceived range is something like 22-JJ, and AQ+. Given that, I think that his cbetting range on this flop is going 66+, AJ+. My call range is then going to be 33,66-JJ,AK.
Turn:On the turn he should be barreling that turn with 66-88, JJ+, and AJ+. My raising range here is kinda lolwtf at pretty much JJ,88,and 33. I'm not really sure what raising accomplishes except for getting value from AcJc,AcQc,and AcKc.

Flatting pre is fine since unless he never folds to 3bets (unlikely in this spot) since you can't really 3bet for value with JJ. Depending on how he plays post flop flatting QQ+ and AK can be fine as well.

I think he perceives your range pre as JJ-22 and maybe AQ + some SC's. His stacking off range on the flop is probably QQ+, 88, AcJc, AcQc, AcKc. Though idk if he's capable of folding QQ+ some of the time.

Raising flop is obviously fine, if you flat call I'd also call turn and shove/bet river. Only problem with calling is sometimes clubs come and we fail to get value from some of his range.

yeah I kinda disagree that there are SCs in your perceived range pre, I think you'd have to be deeper or have some read stating that the villain is overly aggressive post to start flatting those types of hands here. 22-JJ, AQ+ seems about right

The three combos of flush draws you listed are literally the only ones he has in his range. I think you answered your own question, that raising here doesn't accomplish much - especially considering that we're likely to get one more street of value in if we flat here. Deliver the bad news to him with a river raise on any non club imo.

new garph with sexy AIEV line. Last 1,500 hands or so at 25nl

feel pretty comfortable at 25nl now. I took a shot last night when i hit 450 for like the 3rd time and just 2 tabled it for like 2 hours. Spent 6 hours grinding it today. broll: 523, 800vpp's to goldstar, 956 points to my first $50 stellar bonus. I could get goldstar, but idk if i'll play much tomorrow or sunday so that's really going to matter.

derp.
Grats fishy! YOU GOIN PLACES BRAH!

Damn sir. I apologize for giving you a hard time in the past. Very nice blog. Good job.

Either keep this blog going or make another one. It's not fair that I just read yours and you choose to end it now.
