Road to 100k: stop spewing! (COMPLETE!!)

Thanks Zook, yah I was actually thinking the same thing. I keep an excel sheet of my changing roll by the day and write notes for the day of things "I learned" (where learn means: made note of for that day, and seem to immediately forget the next session).

yesterday I wrote: If a player is calling all your 3-bets, just tighten up OOP and 3-bet him looser in position.

I guess I was just drooling at the thought of all the value there. At value towning him with my K8 vs his K3 etc etc. I don't think its necessarily bad, but it's certainly more high variance. I think i'm probably at a state right now where I should be looking for some small victories, and lower variance.

I was contemplating dropping down to 400-500nl for a bit, and take a break from 1k-2knl. We'll see if I stick to it.

I don't know if this applies to all sites, but I'm getting it drilled into my head more and more than most/all late street raises are almost always legitimate on crypto. I feel like I'm the only player that's bluffing on my site! geeez

Thoughts from a noob:

You're too good to get stuck playing one style per day just because you decide to. Switch up your playing style on the go. When a villain starts adjusting to you, adjust back to exploit his adjustments, then when he thinks he's got you figured out again, change back again.

Sounds like you're stubbornly sticking to your play of the day regardless of opponents and how they're playing back at you.

Hey man, thanks for the thoughts.

I think you hit it spot on with your use of 'stubborness'.I think a lot of it is stubborness. Either wanting to play a certain way, and just not adapting cause I wanna run some guy over or just being stubborn with hands and not folding them when i clearly should.

Really moreso the folding. My fold button has been broken for the last few weeks.... I'm bringing it back though....

You need to sit down and talk with Alexos imo

Hahah.. yah I didddd.I need his nitty reminders to smack folding into my game.

We also established that a lot of the good aggro highstakes regs are probably gone to Vegas. So it seems that no aggro players = my game goes to hell.

Damn passive nits!

OMG I need to move up, nit it up and profit from U

Haha.. nit it up.. and after yesterday's session it seems that villains that check/call against me is my demise!

I can't resist trying to steal it from them when they check.

BUTTT the good news is that I finally booked a freaking winning session, holy! It had been like > week. Up $7k, boook it... let the comeback begin. AGAIN.


DAMN check callers!!

-These hands with Billy are pretty stupid preflop even, cause he's pretty tight nitty
preflop so I shouldn't even be playing these hands.

looks like that Billy guy doesn't like money

Either that, or he bets against every other station, and owns my over-aggro soul.

I don t mind the river in the AA hand but not betting or check/raising the turn there seems criminal

Closing out the month on a good note at least.

These have been the swingiest few weeks ever. I'm not sure what it's gonna take to smack some sense into my game, and to finally realize the folding folding folding is the key to everything.

Hopefully it just clicks once and for all!

Last 5 days up like $24k'ish, which will quasi salvage this horrid month a bit at least.

July.... July will be key... "The month of folding"... here we go!

lol good luck man, did you at least break even for June?

haha noooooooo down 2k, shiip it!

Actually, I should be getting like 2.1k from rakeback, up $100!!

So Alexos and I just agreed to another bet.

Terms of the bet:

-Winner is defined as the player to win the most money in the month of July
-No rules on limits to be played
-All play on interpoker only
-We had some issues with regards to Alexos playing a lot more than me and 10 tabling at times vs my 4-6 tabling so we made a cap on hands:
-maximum of 40k hands (unless the person with the least hands gets over 30k hands, in which case the max number of hands is 10k hands more than the person who played less). So technically if I play 20k hands and he plays 40k hands, that's my problem for not playing more. But if I play 34k hands he can have up to 44k hands etc.
-rakeback does not count as winnings
-bonuses count only because we will both win the same amount of bonuses
-if any player plays less than 15k hands (for some unforeseen reason, emergency etc etc) the bet is called off

-The bet is for $1k

Alexos - I've been playing properly for the last week. I will continue to play properly for the next month. Please prepare to get owneeed!

staaaaaaaaaarting now!

gl ull need it

Post some pics so we can join in some side action.

I want pictures of Griffey & Alexos flexing their muscles (or lack thereof). The pic has to be done by themselves, topless and in front of a bathroom mirror.

I add $50 to the winner of the prop bet who looks the least "douchey".

P.S. I'm not gay, not that there is anything wrong with it.

lol silu.

glglgl both of you!

I think Alexos and I both doomswitched ourselves by starting this bet. We both ran pretty bad yesterday, ship the went to SD 22% and won at SD 38% yesss

Played a ton of hands, like 3.5k hands and was down $3.6k. Sweet, down $1/hand, awesomeness.

I'm gonna try making a few changes this month. Open raising to 3x so that I can 4-bet bluff to smaller amounts. STOP 5-bet jamming (4-betting with) hands like AJ/AQ that are gonna get ownnned by AK. Instead 5-bet jam with ands like 56s, 9Ts etc.

I stack off AQ vs AK preflop waaay more times than I'd like to even think about.

I'm also gonna start river c/r'ing more for value and as bluffs (see Alexos' blog for my attempted bluff gone wrong on him).

do some allin math vs ranges to maybe re-enforce some equities for AJ compared to SCs.

maybe just doing an hour of PT/HM review wud be solid.

id say only raise smaller pre on BTN and only vs ppl who 3bet there blinds alot otherwise make pot bigger if they call lots or are fish. if they are uber tight then 3x is more profitable

So here are a few stoves. This scenario is assuming villain button opens, we 3-bet in the blinds and they 4-bet in position.

I took out some combo's of AA/KK etc cause I feel as though a lot of ppl might flat these in position (instead of 4-betting) and 4-bet primarily AK/AQish type hands.

This is the equity of our 5-bet if called by villain. These hands are in order of increasing equity vs their calling range:

So Alexos and I are doing a good job at butchering our bet right now! (butchering: see, the bet is looking like it'll go to to loser of the 'least' money instead of the winner of the 'most' money).

we're both running like ass right now, and hopefully it turns around!

Soooo.. once again I find myself in a 15k downswing. I'm really not sure how this many upswings and downswings is humanly possible, and I think I'm breaking all sorts of records.

I can recognize that I'm not playin that great. I'm spewing so much and just refusing to let go of hands pre (AQ is causing big problems.. 4-betting it instead of folding etc) I'm also running severely bad, which I'll contribute about 10k to this downswing (won at SD some kind of ass 44% over stretch), but still.

HOLY COW FOLD MARGINAL HANDSSSS

-AQ is NOT a good 4-bet/call hand, it's a good 3-bet hand and even that is stretching it vs someone with a tight calling range. Often better off flatting it and keeping in hands you dominate

I also can't play in 3-bet pots in position if my life depended on it. Not having initiative like counteracts what I perceive is any gain for me in position. I just end up stacking off.. hoping they are bluffing into me with pocket my 99-JJ on Q high boards etc.

Something's gotta give at some point.. not sure what that is yet...but something..

Just tighten up goddammit!

You're right that AQ isn't a good 4bet/call hand, but it is a good 3bet hand, esp. if villain likes to call 3bets.

Calling 3bets in position is fine if you know they're a light 3bettor and know a little about their postflop tendencies in 3bet pots (capable of c/folding low flops with overcards? great, call those 3bets. auto cbets any A or K high flop and occasionally double-barrels? great, call those 3bets with AJ+/KJ+. etc.). But in general, against players you don't have history with, you should be folding to 3bets.

Find fish, get position on them, wait for hands and valuebet them. Resist the urge to make fancy plays or catch others making them for awhile. This game is easier than you make it!

Zook's post should be your bible. So true, keep it simple man!

Good post Zook!

Ok I'll listen to Alexos, and this quote is now my bible... let's see what happens!

I think its more the barelling thats my problem, or facing barrels rather in 3-bet pots. I call 3-bets with hands like 88-JJ, and then it flops Q high or K high or something. I call their flop bet cause I know they will auto cbet, and then facing that next barrel...somehow I always seem to pick the wrong spots to jam on the turns.. either that.. or they always have it!

Played one of my longest sessions today in a while, around 4k hands. I was down like $5k earlier in the day after 1k hands and then I read the zook bible and ended the day down $3.7k. So up $1.3k under the new zook bible!

This was a pretty lameo session, with some stupid stackoffs I couldn't help and others were just suckout bad beat central. Here are some of the bigger losses.

Finally had a winning session! My friend downloaded interpoker and was watching me play and I think that kinda forced me to play pretty nitty/tighter than usual. Ran like 19/15 which is a bit tighter than my usual 21/17ish. Up around 4.3kish today... let's keep it up!

Hand 1 - Could 3 bet AQ pre. Maybe you didnt bcoz calling was just better based on info/reads.

On turn, since we have position we could opt to just call his raise. What type of hands would you put him on there.

Hand 2 - Why not just check back turn since we have picked up a draw? can be tough to make ppl fold this turn given flop texture. plus when yuo do barrel can probably will need to barrel river again to give yourself just a chance to win the pot.

Hand 1 - I really don't like squeezing AQ, because squeezes get played back at so often and its not the type of hand I wanna felt PF. Also initial PFR owns my ass, so wanted to keep the pot small OOP.

As played, villain is kinda donkish so I didn't put it passed him to have A7 or A6, and also possibly 66/77 but less likely. Figured I was ahead most often and whatever he was c/r he'd probably go with.


Hand 2 - If i was on the CO or button, I'd for sure check back my OESD on turn because I got more outs and my barrel would probably get less respect. In this spot I'm raising UTG, and my range is much stronger on this board, so if he wants to play his crappy aces to my UTG open then he'll have to face 3-barrels on an A high board... always Checking turn is ofcourse fine, but I'd rather put the heat on while my range is the strongest.

thx man good points.

Sooo I'm running like mega-death the last couple days. Just getting into dumb cooler spots where people keep showing up with hands in squeezed pots, or QQ vs KK 3 times, KK vs AA, AK vs KK etc etc. Also I keep getting sucked out in these pots where I lose like 40-50bb's, but those seem to be adding up.

Overall I'm playing pretty well, so can't be too unhappy, but would be nice to run a little better! one time dealer.. one time!

So I decided some things needed to change to get me back on track. At the advice of kmind and alexos and some others I decided to get HEM a couple days ago. Figure it couldn't hurt.

Word of advice: do NOT use a NEW HUD at the stakes you're rolled at, drop down for a bit!

I started using it at 1knl, 4-tabling and went on solid "new HUD" tilt cause I couldn't move the stats, and it was covering up stack sizes and I was just like "holy whats going on".. $4k later I shut it down and dropped down to 25nl for a few hands to fix the settings. Bad scene!

But upon getting used to it, it seems pretty cool. It shows the image of the mucked hands (which PT can't do on crypto) which is a time saver not having to check HH's after every interesting hand. I haven't really taken full advantage of all the stats and hands available etc (esp stats like 3bet/4bet) cause my samples are big enough, but I'll try that soon.

On a side note: After that HUD tilt day I was down 16k for the month.... sigh.. but running very bad which I'm aware of (far far far too many QQ vs KK's, KK vs AA's and really big suckouts when I'm way ahead). Yesterday I decided to get my act together solidly and really start making folds. Figures the day I start doing that, people start SHOWING me big bluffs on the river.. but whatever, as long as it was the correct decision against their ranges it's fine.

I've decided that my main leak is making mistakes in 10-20bb pots, and making bad 10-20bb late street calls. This kind of thing often goes unnoticed (cause we mostly on remember these hands we got stacked and look at those), so I gotta fix that somehow.

Won back $4k yesterday.

Down $12k for the month (compared to Alexos' down $6k.. ship the awesome quality results for this bet)

BR: $73k

Time to start folding!

You guys are nits. Stop folding and lose more monies. It's fun.

Yeah, HM really messed me up, took way too long to figure out how to set it up .

Dont fold too much, just when you're beat .

Soooo... this month is kinda going blah so far. I've been getting owned by losing 90/10's the last few days, but have managed to stay somewhat afloat.

Yesterday I decided to get back to my old style of play. Somewhere along the line I got into this whole mentality of flatting hands like AJ/AQ instead of re-popping to keep worse aces in etc etc. The end result was me flatting a whole ton of hands from the blinds and such. Well that's over, I'm back to my 3-betting madness ways, and it felt kinda nice!

In other news, Alexos is owning me in our bet (what's new? :P) But there's still a week left, and I'm prob down by like 20k at the moment. Poker gods, give me a nice swing!

Oh and we're discussing a bet for next month (yah I know.. I keep losing and i keep making bets... I'm like a prop betting fish).. we'll discuss the terms of this bet soon. It sounds interesting though!

#1 why not just call preflop for another £35 (btw im not a big set miner), we can also fold if you dont wanna get tricky on flops)? i prob wudnt 4bet here. any reads.

#2meh its not so bad but i agree calling is best. he aint gonna call off with 2 pairs here.

#3 v nh wp

#4 hmm interesting, i guess we are shoving bcoz 1) we are oop for the whole hand thus floating his raise wont work 2) we have some equity vs his stacking range. if we were IP would you play any different like calling flop as a float?? wud you ever do this on this board when your likely playing your good hands fast?

#5 insta raise preflop, no? i prob just get 2 streets of value from this. i may just c/c river but thats prob results oriented. i always find donks have us crushed when they make a minraise on rivers. imo it is a fold.

# 5 (b) unlucky

#6 unlucky again totally std

#7 damn shorties

#8 i rather 3bet KQs here more than calling, i can live with a ''bit of both arguement '' id try raise it up and get it in on flop unless opp was a very poor player and wud stack off if i just call and hit. turn is cool tho i think we can bet more but i reckon river is too thin and i check back. 88/TT wont call again imo.

#9 fucking hell

Hey man, thanks so much for checking out the hands!

hand 1 - reads were that he was popping me a ton so I decided to play back with a pair. 33= pairs up to like TT pretty much, against his 5-bet shoving range. I'd rather CALL a hand like TT sometimes, cause it has showdown value on its own and holds up well against his range for 3-betting suited connectors. 33 doesn't have much showdown value on its own, will be behind connectors that hit a piece and I don't think his 3-betting range (light.. hence the 4-bet in the first place) is strong enough to set mine and stack. The last point is up for debate, it really depends on his bluffing frequencies.

hand 2- yah I tried raising small to get crying calls by two pairs/sets. but that backfired.

hand 4 - this isn't a standard shove by me, but the shove is cause I figured to have equity and felt like I was ahead of most of his straight draws and some of his FD's. In position I would probably flat his c/r, yah.

hand 5 - raising AT from blinds? hmmm I probably always raise here vs only SB, but majority flat here given the limper we'll be OOP of PF. Maybe ATo raise is standard though... hmmm...

hand 8 - yah 3-betting KQs or flatting is often just flow dependent. If I have been 3-betting a lot and he's started calling OOP then I'll for sure 3-bet. If i've been 3-betting a lot and feel like he might 4-bet then I'll prob flat, cause this isn't the type of hand I wanna get it in with PF.

Oh and I flatted the flop instead of raising because a) I figured I was likely ahead of his SB raising range b) I figured he'd barrel all Q's and K's not expecting me to have one . Raising is ofcourse also standard, but calling isn't bad sometimes.




Thanks again for the comments, helpful! And helps me think about why I'm doing some of the silly things I do

no problem man,

i like raising AT here tho since btn limps incl alot of dominated Tx hands and other crap we crush. i think being oop isnt a major disadvantage here since opp is prob poor.

I don't know what's wrong with me. Sometimes I frustrate myself quite a bit.

Last couple days have been pretty solid. I'd say I played pretty damn well the last few days, and am up 12k over that span.

I've been playing pretty solid, and playing focused.

What do I do today? Completely waste all that by playing like a nutjob.. and losing 10k. I started the session suuuuuper bad, losing AA twice and QQ once to start the session down 3k right off the bat.

I really need to setmyself a 'max limit' for losses, like 4k or something and stop for a while. Even if they were uncontrollable.

This is becoming a bit habit for me now.. just as things look to be going well... whammooooo.. self destruct... aaaaaaaaah

some of the hands today:

-FOLDDDDDD
-I have this problem of shipping it when hands are deep, with false sense of fold equity

-once again.. an example of how money behind makes me do dumbass moves
-once again shipping nonsense... it was so deep too. no reason not to just flat this
turn minraise and try hitting my insider. Obviously I ship it instead
-my read was that his turn minraise was a hand with SD value that wanted to check through river
-bad reads

I'm such a schizo poker player! I'm pretty sure everytime I play I have a completely different style, that ppl must be thinking I have multiple users on the account.

So what's the best way to remedy a morning of losing 10k? Coming back in the evening and winning 9k back!

I must admit.. two 10 buyin swings in a day is beyond ridiculous, but I won't complain.

I played a really really passive style in the evening. I actually tried out c/c a lot instead of continuation betting and stuff. Was pretty interesting.

Here are some hands:

hand 1
-this hand was HU. This player calls all 3-bets in position it seems
-since I didn't think he had an ace, I figured his most likely hand was either a mid pair
that prob wouldn't call a second barrel on river, a draw or maybe a straight
-c/bomb and hope he has something to call

Hand 3
-this hand was a reg and I think its an interesting and common spot. After checking through the
flop I am about 90% certain that he'd check through Ace high on the turn again. Given this
it's more likely that his river bet is a bluff, since he bet the turn as well. Had
he checked through the turn I'd prob fold to this river bet since A high is in his range a lot

Crazy hands (last 2). I think I can see why you run so swingy. Run hot when you're right and cold when you're not.

That said, I seem to run much the same swingy way, just smaller swings in buyin terms (prob coz of less tables).

Have you done much review to work out where you're having problems? I've noticed I tend to slip into bad play without really realizing it, especially if I hit a run of cold decks. Rather than just riding it out and minimizing losses, I try to force things to happen and spew away. For instance when I'm playing well I make good call downs based on reads/plays that dont make sense. When I'm playing bad I call just because they may be bluffing without any reason to back it up.

Enough about me. Have you looked into that? I mean, if you can minimise your big downswings, then you make much profits from your big upswings!

Thanks for the message bjsaust. I'd say in terms of "problems".. its a lot of just tilt really.. not being focused and not stopping playing when i'm not focused. Really as I stated in a n earlier post, I should just set a stop loss and take a break after I pass my x buyins losses.

When I get tilty I start shove spewing in places that i have no b usiness shoving or no fold equity or both! Its a bad scene

what kind of review do you do to find out what "problems' you may have?

And yah I agree, if you're running on a cold deck you feel as though you gotta bluff more to win a pot. That sucks for sure!

I've found something really simple has helped. I grab a pad and a pen, and go through my bad sessions. Every time I think I played a hand badly (not results oriented, in fact some of my big pot wins have earned bad marks and big pot losses I'm fine with), I put it under a heading and add a mark. After a few sessions I review my marks.

Last time I did this I think I reviewed 3 losing sessions over about 1.2k hands and had:

Semi-bluff shove- 3 (noone folds in big pots at 50nl so stacking off with 30% equity is spew)
Slowplay - 8 (didnt think this was too bad until I realised just how often people were improving over my medium hands I checked for 'value').
Bluff - 13 (again, people just dont fold. If I make my value off people calling with weak hands, why am I bluffing them?).
bad calls - 11 (I think bluff catching is a fairly decent part of my game, but these were just calls with no reasoning, or bad reasoning, behind them).

So its nothing fancy. I'm not delving into the depths of HM doing complex filtering, just literally going through my +/-4BB hands looking for ones I think I played wrong.

A similar review from winning sessions would yield about 1/4 of those marks. The thing is, I dont realise I'm doing it at the time. Before I did that review I just thought I was running bad, and I was, but if I'd cut those mistakes in half or even more, a 7 buyin downswing may have only been a 2-3 buyin downswing.

Which I think is the point. You're probably not going to come up with any great answers on how to turn a negative 10 buyin session into a winning one, but if you turn it into a negative 5 buyin session, then your 1 buyin loss for the day has turned into a 4 buyin win.

ill give my million dollar thoughts on hands if you convert them

bjsaust - hey man, really good post. Yah I've never really thought about keeping track of the TYPE of mistake I was making.. over multiple sessions.

Actually, I have an excel spreadsheet and everyday at the end of the day or end of a session I write down my end bankroll and keep track of my swings for each day. And each day I write a note about what happened, so I guess in a way that's kind of like what you're doing.

So now I can go back and review the notes for like the last however many days. It doesn't take long to come to a common consensus:

"OMG stop bluffing!! people don't fold ever, just value bet!"

I think I have that written in at least 100 sessions. no joke! I'm a slow learner clearly.

Along the same lines of stop bluffing, I think you should stop slowplaying! People call, and they call too much. So no need to get fancy, just bet bet bet.

oh and another common one is "OMG FOLD! stop stacking off like an idiot"

So yah I guess I'm in the same boat as your "bluff - 13" and "bad calls - 11". It's kind of nice having an excel spreadsheet though, cause when you're running bad you can go back to when you were upswinging and look at what you were doing well.

DaGoat - haha you drive a hard bargain. Ok next set of hands, I'll convert them!

I find I learn my lesson, then a couple weeks later its back without realising.

Fnord has a saying that we play a couple of stinker hands each session, so dont worry about them. I try to go with that and not get caught up over a couple bad hands per session, but listing them and counting them like this helps me realise when I've slipped from a couple into a real problem.

I'm literally thinking of sticking a list above my monitor to see if that helps keep me in check better .

Prop-bet addictions!

Ok so I'm about to lose my propbet with Alexos for this month quite handily... as expected. I really think I can beat him.. I don't think these competitions are as one-sided as the results seem to show.. but I just really can't win lately so we'll see how next month goes

But as an aside, Alexos and I decided that we've been waaaay too much of pot controlling donks lately.. with ridiculously low AF's lately in the low-mid 2's.

(my AF several months ago used to consistently be in the 3-3.5 range on every street, and it isn't anymore)

In any case, we made a prop bet today. We're gonna 6 table 500nl for 5k hands (not a huge sample.. but a good start) and we have to maintain an AF > 4 overall.

Winner of the prop bet is the player who wins the most over 5k hands with an AF >4.
If either player has an AF > 6, they win by default no matter how much won or lost.
I guess if both players have AF > 6, then either player with highest AF wins or highest earn wins (what do you think Alexos?)

Loser of the prop bet is gonna make a vid, and I guess if it's good maybe it'll be FTR worthy!

I think this will be a good bet, to get us back to our old aggressive roots. I think somewhere along the lines of highstakes, we became passive and decided to let the mad aggro regs do all the betting and we'd just let them bluff into us. This may not be a bad plan at all, but will be good to get our feel back for playing more aggressive.

So today was the first day of Alexos and I's 500nl AF > 4 prop bet, so to speak.

I played 3k hands today and it was alright. It was nice to start barelling more than I had been, and just having ppl call me down light in spots etc. I hadn't had a truly bad image in a while!

I won't say too much about my AF for this session or how much wins or losses were, cause I want Alexos to be in the dark until we both get to the 5k hand mark for this.

Here are some hands from this session though. I converted them, as per request by Da Goat!



Hand 1:
-villain is pretty good, aggro regular
-we've had a few 3-betting/4-betting wars and he's shown up with the goods most of the time.. esp in 4-bet pots
-I'm not sure what his range is for betting this flop, but I felt like most of
his range that was drawing or for value would check behind on this turn

As an aside, I did some studying of my months 2/5 stats to see where I'm making and losing money:


for the month at 2/5:

calling 3-bets I'm up 10k
3-betting myself: up 8.7k
suited connectors/one gappers: up 7k
unsuited connectors/one gappers: down 3.2k and should be down 8k
suited cards in general: down 400
unsuited cards in general: down 15k (holy! stop playing these)
pocket pairs: 99+ : up 23k
pocket pairs: 22-88: down 2k (all month got it all in with only 5 sets which is pretty brutal)

Came here to ask a question, but now I have a request as well. Can you give examples of where you're making money callig 3-bets? I'm down a fair bit in calling 3-bet hands.

Actually, I have an excel spreadsheet and everyday at the end of the day or end of a session I write down my end bankroll and keep track of my swings for each day. And each day I write a note about what happened, so I guess in a way that's kind of like what you're doing.

I've started copying this idea, just thought I'd ask exactly what you track. For instance I have

Movement type (mainly Session but figure I can track bonus/withdraws/etc)
Total BR
Buyins (movement amount in buyins for the stakes I play)
Comments

And then a column for each site so I can track how much is on each and I just sum those for my total BR column. Anything else you have on yours?

[quote="griffey24"]
Here are some hands from this session though. I converted them, as per request by Da Goat!

lol this is weird, i seen this when u first posted it and really thought i replied!!!


Hand 1: imo im betting this flop alot and will barrel if he calls and no heart comes. if he raises our bet tho its a def tough spot but ill prob call it off vs an aggro opp. as played your repping such a weak range of hands that he shud be able to barrel you with ease.

Hand 2: fine

Hand 3 - yeah call turn. c/f river.

Hand 4 - seems ok i guess. only JJ or AJ can call you as played. i pu tmost other hands out of his range and he shud be able to buff you a otn here with missed draws.


Hand 5 - tough spot. id pu thim on some JJ-KK and Ax hands. i think a river bet is good and he has less Ax holdings. also cud he call off with JJ-KK here much since he doesnt look like you have an Ax hand


Hand 6 nh

Hand 7 JJ<AA n wai

Hand 8 not so bad but since we have an unpaired hand id rather 4bet him. remember the 1st 4bet by some who you've been beatign on is a bluff therefore he cud call lighter


Hand 9 much prefer the 3bet flat here, nh

Hey man,

Just looking at my 3-bet pot hands for the last little while where I saw flops.

It looks like most of the hands I won were really very standard type hands. Calling 3-bets in position with strong broadway cards, or suited connector type hands, and shoving flops with good draws etc, or tptk on drawy boards that are likely to get called by worse.

In a lot of spots, I also called 3-bets in pos with overpairs if I hadn't established a 4-betting reputation against this particular villain in that particular session. In that case, I'd flat overpairs as well, and jam all/most flops, esp if drawy.

Most of the 3-bet pots that I lost were one's where I shoved draws and missed (obviously) and shoved overcards and got called and missed. I'm starting to think that shoving overcards might not be the best, since you're risking a lot to win a little. Floating with overcards could be better, also since villain will likely bluff fire Q,K,A turns, when you hit.


As for my excel spreadsheet. I mostly just keep track of my end date bankrolls and also have another column to adjust for any additions/subtractions that may be non poker-related (ie: bonuses, rakeback, losing dumbass prop bets and paying out of my roll etc etc)

The notes are probably the most helpful thing though, as long as I listen to them.

Hey man,

Thanks for the comments.

Yah I agree with most comments you made. I definitely should have bet flop. I'm such a pussy in spots where I think its likely I'm gonna get jammed and have a quasi marginal hand, but I should just bet more and be happy to induce shoves.

Hand 3 - I think c/f is actually prob best, given that we're OOP and also reverse implied odds in our hand. I c/c'd but I don't think its good.

Hand 5 - pretty bad river bet I think. c/f > c/c > bet I'm pretty sure.

yeah on hand 5 id c/f>c/c anyway. basically im betting as a bluff.

most comments are really general though since theres so many hands to look at

Heh, I guess if I shoved flops where I have some equity instead of very little I'd probably show results closer to yours . Thanks for reply .

Yah I won in theory, as in I had an AF > 8 the whole time, but lost a lot of $. BUT Alexos won more money than me during that time, while having a weak ass AF < 4. So I suppose "winning" is subjective.

We actually both recorded a vid yesterday of the two of us playing on a few of the same tables. I don't think either of us have done audio for it yet.. we'll see how it goes!

What kind of flops are you shoving if you're not shoving with equity? What kind of hands are you shoving with?

Its embarrasing, but I swear I'm over it now!!

Umm, mainly mid PPs where I dont believe them.

I'm also probably folding draws because of poor odds instead of shoving with them. I'll check that out.

ugh.. yah I don't like this. Honestly, when you're shoving ("bluff shoving"), don't think about what hand they HAVE but rather what hand they are CALLING with.

You don't care what hand they have if they are folding, so it doesn't matter.

You want your hand to have the best equity against their CALLING range. Just because 66 is a pair and AQ is just A high, doesn't mean that it's better to shove 66 than AQ. 66 is completely owned against their calling range (2 outs), but AQ has better equity and sometimes even 6 outs. Even further, if you have some kind of draw its more outs even still.

oh noez

sounds like you recorded a session of Ravageur getting murdered?

more of this plz

Yeah, I finally worked that advice out on my own, but its one that can do with being reinforced. Double checked my results, I'm actually not down that much in called 3-bet pots afterall. If I take one cooler out I'm about even, so if I can keep not bluff shoving without equity it should start going up again soon.

Thanks.

What's your bankroll at now Griffey I'm reading with anticipation - also any developments with the vid? I'd love to watch it! Thanks

Thanks for the support luckyslevin,

BR is at around 73k right now. Started the month down a solid 15k or something, but got it back to around even now and am running around 16k under EV.

I'm playing a lot better as of late, and slowly results are showing, so I'm hoping that I FINALLY turned a new leaf after months of nonsense bad play. I guess we'll see!

Alright.. so someone really switched the doom switch on me yesterday and today. So whoever did that, please switch it back!

Yesterday I got smoked QQ vs KK, KK vs AA, AK vs AA and a few other bad beats to the tune of $3k in 20mins. I stop lossed that session before it got out of hand.

I lost like 5 flips today at 5/10 and then a few others at 2/5.. so pretty much I lost all my flips today which is pretty tilt inducing.

Then someone doomswitched me more with these hands in my second session of today. Hand 1 is obviously fine, but I'm not sure if maaaybe somehow hand 2 and 3 are potentially overplayed, especially hand 3:
