Graveyard for Fun Hands

Edit (March 12th, '08) : New title but same thread. Gonna focus more on posting interesting hands than chronicling my results (end edit).

I don't have enough. I need more...

hands played.

I'm gonna try to log 30k hands between now and Christmas break (around Dec 17th)

Considering I'm a big fan of taking days off, this means I'll need to avg just above 1k hands per day played.

For most of you grinders, this seems like nothing but it's a shitload of poker for me. Last time I tried to play"regularly" I got sick of it after 4 days and have been on a 3 week "break" ever since.

I guess I never really got used to grinding. The closest I came was when I was learning cash games playing B2 B bonus-whoring. That's also where I developed my hyper-aggro style to counteract the nits on B 2 B.

I just find cashgames so fking stressful. Busting out of a tourney on a big bluff or getting sucked out on on the bubble doesn't faze me at all. But making a big calldown and being wrong or throwing away a big pot just wears on me in cash games. It's also emotionally tough becase the money is a lot in my world (doctorate student in classical piano LOL JOBOFFERAMENTS).

I got to nl400 about 30k hands into my cash game career, taking my roll from 2k in May to 21k at the end of September running at a ridiculous 12ptbb between nl50 and nl200... It was only then that I moved to nl400 with over 50 buy-ins. I suddenly became somewhat gun-shy and after a couple thousand hands of break-even poker felt more afraid of losing that eager to play...

Hopefully, posting this will serve as an incentive to play. I'm an exhibitionist, so I hope to post lots of pwnage and (not so much) spewage in this thread soon.

My idea is that after every session I'll post :

-biggest bluff
-biggest spew
-biggest call-down
-hand I think I played the best (either lost least/won the most)

I'll also figure out exactly what my BR - after withdrawing a few k for school and stuff - is before starting and give daily BR updates. I don't care if I make money but I'd really like to hit the 30k hand target.

Hopefully I'll start 2morrow after I sort out this b.s. with the prima site I played at getting bought out by Bodog...

Cool idea.

I'm not sure daily BR updates is particularly helpful (can lead to being a bit results oriented).
But the biggest bluff/spew etc could be cool.

The next time you're going to make a heroic call when you're 95% sure you're toast you'll be thinking "yeah, but I'll have to post this crap if I'm wrong" :)

alright

got the ball rolling 2day

gonna stop after booking a modest win in a short session of 3-4 tabling

I feel very different on the tables after talking so much about poker and sweating ppl, playing donkaments etc. over the past few weeks

Only felt I got myself into truly tough spots about twice through overaggression or passive play

The best thing about today's session was that I never felt I did anything automatically. Even if it was 2 seconds, I thought before every action. My biggest leak in the past has been "ummm wtf do I do... RAISE!" which was decent against mindless nits but became spewy against more aware competition after nl200-400.

I mainly raised my position and threw away many more hands than I usually do in early position. Not surprisingly, this resulted in some pretty Slaggy stats : 36/27/2.6 (AF decreasing slightly from flop to river).

I don't really have any hands that merit their own posts in the forum so I'll just post the interesting hands right here along with my "biggest" ones (bluff, spew, best hand, etc.). These were all nl200 as I didn't want to jump right back into the more stressful nl400 games.

BIGGEST BLUFF:

... is a toss-up between this one (cuz shorties usually never fold) :

BIGGEST CALL-DOWN :

didn't have to make a hell of a lot of em 2day. My biggest one, ironically, was with TPGK. I was pretty sure I could only beat a bluff here because of the way the hand played out and the board texture. Not even sure if the call itself was +EV... :

BEST HAND OF THE DAY :

This hand played itself, but I was pumped because my read (thanks to AceHud) was that I was getting monster implied odds for trips/2 pair on turn since this guy was RAISING EXACTLY 2% OF HANDS LMAO... I just prayed it wasn't KK. If I miss the turn, not another $ goes into the pot.

When he checked the river, I knew my hand was good :

WORST HAND OF THE DAY :

Here's a perfect example of maybe the biggest leak in my game : playing the turn OOP with a strong but vulnerable hand. The river call is basically a spew...

That's it for 2day. I might just gamble some turbo donk n go's later on. Happy with things since I basically played well and enjoyed things

oh yeah. Except for this hand :

Calling for a slplit sux, but with the size of that pot he HAS to bet the river when I check since I have to bet if I have a 7 100% of the time...

Despite that, life is good

more of my turn weakness with overpairs. Gotta do something about it. My fear of getting stacked is losing me value :

I'm sick no poker 2day :(

Back in action 2morrow hopefully

ugh

i think what I had was food poisoning yesterday

still feel like shit. played about 150 hands of Par ty nl200 but felt weak (my hands were shaking WTF) so just stopped. will prob play some flipaments to waste time this aft and watch Ohio State get crushed.

gg starting my "Operation" on fire lol

today's update :

143 hands played. -3.45$

running total :

hands played : 652

Operation profit/loss : +491

Only time for a short session today

It was def food poisoning I had Saturday. That's behind me, so hopefully I can stay healthy for a bit and be productive.

Today's mini-session confirmed the way I feel about my game (good). I'm playing extremely Slagg (40/24 today lol) without a Hud back on Part y and enjoying it.

Here are the notable hands from today's sprint :

Biggest bluff :

A couple candidates here

1st candidate :

Villain is tight and knows I call with garbage preflop. Lol @ repping a boat. On the other hand he prob just timed out thinking about rebluffing me…

Didn't really win any big pots with monsters 2day but just won a lot of times I had the worst hand.

Hopefully I'll play a long session tomorrow and just be a card rack.

Today's totals :

Hands play : 352 (lol)
$$$$ earned/lost : +663

Running total : 1004 hands played at nl200, +1160$

Bad session 2day

Don't think I had my A game (which is really dangerous when I'm playing laggy). Then again, hard to say if it's just bad timing or what when playing very aggro. Ran into a bunch of boats while making "plays"... Meh not sure I actually played all that badly.

The session was bookeneded by an funny beat and a pretty gross cooler :

last hand of session (as I'm about to accept my 2.5 buy in loss and go out and party :( )...

VNH villain I think I played it perfectly given that I've been super aggro.

Villain played the river especially awesome here. I pushed hoping to get a call from a bluff-cathching hand like 66-77 with my Slaggy image.

Here are some other hands I thought were interesting.

Game is playing 4-handed and villain has 3-bet my 3 previous button raises. Rather than 4-bet I decide to peel one and see how the hand develops. LOL@getting stack-a-donked.

This was butchered pretty badly. I'm not a fan of 3-betting AQ. Folding it is weak. I usually decide to either play to make money of worse aces or queens and sometimes I decide before the hand to "not give up" on an innocent-looking board. But like I said, this was butchered pretty badly. When you can't figure out what you're repping, it's probably a bad sign :

Somewere along the line, KK got cracked on a 7-high board by 2-4 sooted for 3/4 of a buy-in...

I think my edge is biggest 4-handed and less since most ppl have a tough time adapting to very shorthanded play. I manged to keep a cpl tables shorthanded and shorties kept coming and giving me their money. It's a good thing because with the coolers, beats and ill-timed aggression I could have been waaaay down 2day. Here's an example of what I kept running into today :

Whenever I made these shorthanded moves 2day seemed like ppl had 2pair +. Oh well. Not gonna wait for tptk to bet 3 handed…

Then again, maybe this is too aggro since villain should check behind since the board is so scary. I can’t forget ppl don’t value-bet very thinly a lot at nl200.

Another place where I get into risky business. It doesn't bug me playing high-risk, high-variance poker (since when u run well u make so much more than a standard TAGG) but sometimes I just look for edges that aren't there.

I know ( or I’m like 90% here he does) villain in this hand has the 2nd nut boat here on the river. Trying to push him off it is def –ev. Ugh. This is exactly how I’d play a 10… But does HE know that? And even if he does, do I really expect him to fold a hand? LMAO gg me.

Overall, I think my big mistake was pulling some of my floats/delayed bluffs OOP against the better players instead of focusing on the weak-tighties and waiting for spots in position. Then again, I lost a lot of mid-sized on the turn pots through different villain's hitting 11% cards where usually I take that shit daaoown...

Had a good session 2nite (this morning...)

I seriously don't know how ppl like Irisheyes do it. I played 660 hands and felt content to stop. Not only that, but it actually felt long...

Took my first crack back at nl400 and was amazed at how fishy it was. There was a strong tagg who was running well at my nl400 table, but as soon as he left, the game was on.

Were it not for these two hands, I'd have booked a nice win for my session :

How many tables do you play?

3-4 tables usually

I used to play as many as 8 but I think after 6 it starts to get too mechanical (unless you're playing all the same regulars, which is def not the case for me), esp in Short handed play...

i'll make a detailed post in a few minutes about my crazy swingy session at P arty nl200

for now, I just feel like posting this hand cuz it made me laugh

This was the toughest call of the day, strangely enough. Villain was a big big fish I'd been pounding HU on another table. It just seems like he has a flush here 1000000% of the time here... Thank God I can never fold a hand :

One of the weirder things I do sometimes is float 2 villains with the intention of stealing the right turn or river… This time the steal didn’t work… But I guess I was value betting, right? Def biggest pot I’ve ever won where I couldn’t beat K-high…

And btw, thanks Mcatdog for the multi idea (while playing cash games). I finished 3rd out of 600-ish in the stars midnight 22$ for 1.2k

Like I said before, I just had a really shitty image at these tables (lots of 3-barrells that didn't work early in session ) so when I started running good nobody EVER folded anything against me...

2.5k profit tonight. Whee.

Tonight's totals : 1170 hands played, +1225$ (nl200)

Operation totals : 3718 hands, +1393$

wow do i ever not play enough

1st session this aft since my 2.5k day last week. In between I've been pretty busy at school but don't really have a suitable excuse. Most of the time I'd just get home and not feel like getting stressed out over poker. I donked around a bit at nl50 and nl100 with a buddy who's just building his roll

Worst Call :

I’m 99% sure my hand is good on the turn here. I put villain on a JJ-ish hand. River call is a spew although it’s very hard to put villain on a hand…

Here's something I do a lot that I think most "standard" players don't do enough of :

Block bet. Villain is not very good and imo incapable of big moves. It's so easy to put villain on a monster if he raises the river it's silly... Usually I get a cheap price vs a 2pair-ish hand and weak players will sometimes even smooth-call with a set, fearing I am value-betting a straight, since my line matches up with 97 :

Luckiest hand of the day :

Running good isn’t just making big hands, it’s running your monsters into UBERmonsters vs shorties instead of deep-stacked. If both villain and I were deepstacked I think I’d have def lost up to infinity $$$ in this hand :

I played my overpairs well 2day I think. A persistant leak of mine has been underplaying (to the point of losing tons of value, especially OOP) my big pairs whenever the board is the slightest bit scary. Here’s a hand where I put villain on an overpair (66-1010 ish type hand) and just figured he wasn’t good enough to fold to any bet on the river :

Wowzers

Just finished a medium-sized (by my modest standards) session. If I had a graph, it would be hilarious. I ended up down over 3 buyins, but it felt like I was down about 15.

Not sure where to start. I could probably post 20 hands that have something interesting to them, but I'll try to keep the length of this post reasonable.

Maybe posting in groups could be good.

CALL-DOWNS :

1 ) We have tangled a lot. Villain is very good and very aggressive. Not afraid to fire bullets. He is likely to put me on a high club based on my passive play.

3) When villain raises I figure he flopped the flush. That being said, my spade is probably higher than his (he just prob limped suited garbage on the button. The king of spades hitting (as opposed to the 8 or the 6 or some shit) is the key card in getting me to call. I now have the 3rd nuts and have seen ppl overplay flopped flushes way too often to fold. Like I mentioned before, if the king doesn’t hit (or obv if I don’t make my flush) then I never even get to the river.

The other important thing happening here is that I let him keep betting. This is a crucial aspect of biggish call-downs. When you figure you probably have the best hand on the turn, then usually there’s no sense raising to “protect” your hand. All you’ll do is get your money in quicker vs the nuts and fold out worse hands. Btw I just saw the results for this hand now as I post it. Lucky read I guess…

TIMING REVERSE-TELL :

I deliberately used up my entire time bank for the river play here. Villain looked like he needed a reason to call, so almost timing out makes this look a lot more like a bluff. My line matches perfectly with the Ace of clubs that floated then missed... BTW, preflop is standard for me in position :

BIG MOVES GONE WRONG :

1) Plan is to overbet-push river. Especially is ace hits :) As played, couldn't put villain on a big hand so went through with it anyways since his bet could very well be a block bet (villain in this hand was not donkish) :

2) Turn card is perfect for my flop float. Villain is unnoticed up to this point (so probably not overly donkish). The best part of this bluff is that river is an “I hope that hit you” card. I have JQ probably 90%+ of the time I make this play… Nice call dood.

3) I only realized I lost this hand while reviewing the session. Lmao my tables were minimized and I swear I saw 89 as my hole cards. Unreal. Truly a “bad” beat…

:lol:

Hey, you still have about 3 weeks to play 25K hands, using my expert math skills, that like just over 1k hands a day.


BTW, if I had your winrate Id be playing more hands....

Just played a mini-session (approx 35 min) from school on my laptop.

nothing really gross to report, except for my first experience with a disgusting, ****vomit****-type cheater disconnecting on what I thought was a very strong bluff by me. I posted the hand in SH forum, but here it is anyways. God it bugs me :

Villain is a good, aggressive (hence bluffable) player. I emailed Party support but lol@them doing anything about it… This shit just makes me want to stop playing altogether.

Only thing worth posting besides that is probably what 3-betting preflop vs an aggro player can do to them. I've repopped this guy 3 or 4 times already (he's super aggro preflop). Against a normal villain I'd seriousy consider folding this since I'm usually racing or dominated. But I won't fold this in a million years vs another aggro who's been getting pwned by my 3 bets... :

Time to leave school and go work out a bit. Maybe one more session after midnight when the west-coast canucks are playing hammered :)

mini-session #2 totals : 201 hands played for +806$

Operation totals : 5468 hands played for +2696$

played what seemed like a million hands today (so it was probalby around 1.5k) but played away from my cpu.

2 separate sessions, broke even 1st one despite being up to 1k at an nl200 table then dropped 1k in first 30 min of 2nd session. Turned it around for a nice 500$ profit before quitting after having aa and kk cracked in b2b hands.

I'll post interesting hands and precise results when i get the HH's shipped into poker tracker.

someone plz tell me wtf "precise results" means?

finally shipped my hands from Saturday

Here are some interesting hands from Session 1 :

This is probably the worst hand I've played since I began this operation. On every street my instincts told me "ugh he's fuckin strong here...". I almost timed out calling both the flop and the turn. Problem was I could only put villain on 2 hands and they were both gigantic monsters... I've been playing less and less afraid of monsters lately. But this was definitely a fold from the flop on. Other problem was this was villain's 1st orbit at table and hadn't seen anything from him...

Finished at 1k+ at 1 of my tables for a huge profit of 27$ lolol...

Session totals : 776 hands for +27$

Saturday session 2 :

I was down over 1k in first 25 minutes during this one. That's loootttts of $$$ for nl200... I turned it around though. Instead of my usual 4-tables playing superlagg I decided to tighten up and play 6 tables. Problem is, every time it was folded to me in CO or on Btn and I had WMD's (J6o or some monster like that) I just couldn't help myself...

This hand was encouraging to me. I almost timed out on the river, I was just so sure I was beat. Granted it’s basically unfoldable for less than, say, 250bb’s without a sick sick read. But the fact my radar is so sharp right now made me feel good :

Just a sidenote : ppl were definitely aware that I was raising junk, but they weren't fighting back preflop. They were fighting back postflop by never folding a pair... So almost 1/2 of my profit came from stealing the blinds, amazingly (about 60 BB over 1k hands just from winning uncontested pots preflop. sick.)


Saturday session #2 totals : 1068 hands played for +475$

Operation totals after Saturday Dec 9th : 7312 hands played (nl200) for +3199$

Fking ISP screw up prevented me from playing 2nite. I ran to an internet café and played till close. Now it's late and I don't feel like making tough decisions so fk it.

Not much to post, just a cpl interesting hands I guess :

I have no read that villain is capable of squeezing with worse hands. But I like to gamble… Preflop was very close to a fold though… :

tell me about it

I should really hate myself for not playing more, but I like booking wins

Just played another partial session. Won a few big pots, went to take a piss, then looked at where I was ; I was up about 4 buy ins so I just decided to book the win then stop.

Here are some of the hands that were fun :

Felt like villain was capable of doing this on a bluff and doubt he checks a strong hand on the river here…

I float a ton. Here’s a situation where I hit one of the cards I’m looking for but felt torn. Villain has been pretty damn aggro postflop and has taken a cpl big pots off of me. The problem with raising here is that he quite often doesn’t even have a pair. On the other hand, if he does have a KQ-ish type hand a lot of cards will kill my action on the river.

I felt like minraising but am still not sure what best course of action would be. He knows I’m capable of big moves after the flop. I think he’ll pay me off w AQ on a safe river a ton…

I’ve been beating up on this guy for awhile now. I feel like this guy’s bluffing the turn/is weak. But I don’t have the balls to check/call so I just try to get him to fold :

I put villain on a big pair he’d have a tough time folding here. A lot of ppl freeze up with the dbl paired board but I figured he’d never ever c raise with the size of pot etc… My favourite hand of the night def :

Nice hands btw, you're killin it

seriously, deposit some money and sit down at a table

you will be amazed

Plowing along towards 30k hands be4 christmas lol

played another quickie. Just stopped after losing a couple buy-ins on 2 suck outs and a bad read.

Voila the hands worth posting :


One thing I’ve been doing really well at lately is controlling the size of my pots. This hand might seem like I did just the opposite. I figured my hand was likely best on the flop. I figured a min-raise could get villain to do something stupid since we’d been tangling a shitload and I’d been raising his c-bets pretty regularly. Plan was to call his re-minraise and push a safe turn to protect a decent –sized pot (since if he was bluffing flop he’d likely check behind on turn) :

Here I’m close to 100% sure villain has an overpair (rather than trips/boat) so the turn call may seem spewy but I’m very confident I’ll get villain’s stack on a club river. This is clear fold if we’re both sitting with only 100bb btw :

Session totals : 588 hands played for +392$

Operation totals : 8900 hands played for +4611$

Hmmm. 8 days till Christmas and only 16k hands left to play! ;)

played another sprinkle of a session

was feeling overaggro so I just stopped after losing a bunch of medium sized pots depite stacking 2 fish in a hurry

157 hands for -22$

Operation totals : 9057 hands played for 4588$

Hmmm.... Just played a quickie-session be4 going to see Rocky. 212 hands. Ran at 50/30. It was fun :

I’ve been beating up on villain here by floating and betting the turn. Since there aren’t many huge hands here (he pretty much only plays a boat for value here), and I feel this guy’s good, I was planning on 3-betting a turn check-raise :

Then I won flush over flush for a buy in.

Then I stopped.

session totals : 351 hands played for +913$

Operation totals : 9620 hands played for +5594$ at nl200

No way I'll be playing today (as opposed to watching football and getting drunk).

So I guess I'll post my final results for this Operation :

Hands played : 9620

Moniesss made : 5594$ at nl200

VPIP/PFR : 38.97/23.30

ptBB/100 : 14.75

Hourly rate for operation : 216.98$

That is all.

I'll probably keep posting in this blog. It's fun.

I've started coaching a cpl ppl. It's fun and I don't think I'm half bad. They're moving up in stakes so I might have to move up myself just to keep up with them :).

Happy Holidays to all.

cool thread, and nice work even though you didn't make it to 30k yet!
lots of your hands here are helpful/interesting.

thx benny

I hope to move up permanently to nl400 pretty soon so hopefully I'll have interesting hands to post pretty soon.

1st mini-session since Christmas 2day

Played 195 hands at 46/27 and made 432$. Time to finish Zelda.

Hopefully, this blog will chronicle my move up to nl1k by the summer.

From here on, it's time for new operation "What's Next..."

so far : 195 hands at nl200, +432$

I think my hit-n-running is simply +Life EV.

Just sat down for a long (hopefully) session

Stacked a few people

Went to take a dump

Decided I was done for the day

I guess I always do this since it just puts me in a good mood to make a few hundred dollars doing something I enjoy. When I stop up a cpl buyins, I'm happy about it for the rest of the day.

The problem, of course, is that because of my horrific image (these days I'm running at 46/27) I'm pretty much always leaving a good deal at the table.

But hey, I'm happy. So who cares.

Few hands from today's super mini-session (nothing too crazy) :

Session totals :

681 hands for +451$

New operation totals : 994 hands for +1370$

Was down on today's mini-session because of this hand.

Thought pretty hard about it but decided villain, who seemed solid, btw, would also play worse trips this way. Had that bad feeling in my gut though… :

Maybe leading the turn would be better here. Not sure. Folding seemed weak but river would have been a bad spot OOP :

bad image = $$$ DING DING

1st hand is awesome btw

The 1st hand I was so deep with that guy I was playing almost every hand to get him to think I sucked.

Did u kill this thread? I have insider info confirming you're still playing, so post something? kthx:)

I'm playing but I'm looking to play more and post less.

So hopefully I won't post here until I get to nl1k :)

Play more hands dudeeeeeeeeee.

What are these "hands" you speak of?

Since getting back from a summer trip, I've made some decent cash at nl200 with a BR that is a little too small for me to feel comfortable at nl400 (I'm a huge BR nit).

Over the past few days, however, I feel like I've been playing a little spewy and unfocussed so I've decided to take a 6 buy-in shot at nl400. If I bust, oh well ; I'll still be comfortably rolled for nl200.

If, on the other hand, I go robusto, then the sky's the limit. I feel like I've had the hand-reading skills and meta-game awareness necessary for bigger games for a while now but a mixture of not playing enough, running like shit for my past 50k hands or so and general fear of making and losing big sums of $ has kept me away from playing a bunch and moving up.

So this thread will be resurrected for a little while. I'm hesitant to do this because when I get this kind of thing going I usually spend too much time posting stuff and not enough time playing. Hopefully I can avoid avoiding the tables and put in a lot of hands with a few updates here and there.

Instead of chronicling all of my big hands, I'll be using this simply to illustrate some basic concepts through spots where I play "unstandard" or simply think through tough situations.

Any comments or questions are cool.

Here are a few hands from my first session :

1: Fold your draw, I have a big pair!

Seat 5: HERO ( $400 USD )
Seat 4: draglio ( $202.43 USD )

** Dealing Turn ** :4s:

HERO does not show cards.
HERO wins $268 USD

2: Using position vs a super-tight opener

-Villain is about 11/5
-Reasons for the flop call : huge implied odds if villain has a big pair, bluffing scare cards on turn/river, villain will likely just check-fold if he has AK so plan is to bet river if villain checks twice on turn/river

Seat 6: Furlong16 ( $664.30 USD )
Seat 1: HERO ( $445.60 USD )
Seat 3: Puksar ( $204.53 USD )

3: Crying call. Well played by villain. Flop check to not get bet off my gutter (villain runs around 21/12, flop connected pretty big with his range) and possibly pick up a back-door draw.

Seat 6: Furlong16 ( $294.50 USD )

Seat 3: Puksar ( $274.60 USD )

4: Playing weak.

Villain is very aggro 32/30 preflop. Cold-calling from the blinds makes me think that his range is almost 100% PP's (lots of ppl who reraise light love doing it with SC's). By checking behind on the flop, I feel that I'm letting him draw to two outs. 99 is almost certainly a 3-bet pre, so the only big hand that I'm making a mistake checking behind to is 55. If he has 22-44 then I can almost definitely get him to call 1 bet, sometimes two since he'll have a tough time putting me on a big pair when I check behind on this flop. As played river is bleh. He doesn't have J-x in his range usually so he either has a small pair turned into a strange bluff or a boat.

For the first few sessions of my shot-taking, I'm planning on playing pretty nitty preflop. I much prefer a laggy style, but I'll be doing some things with my nitty image that I would never do when playing lagg. Like repping a set :


Seat 6: Furlong16 ( $396 USD )
Seat 1: HERO ( $412.60 USD )
Seat 3: Puksar ( $378.60 USD )
Seat 2: yerlikaya ( $394 USD )

the last hand you posted is awesome. I wouldn't have even thought to try that (i actually have a chronically TAGGy image so this may be a good play i can use on a semi-regular basis). But i would probably prefer two cards lower than a 9 on the flop to make it as believable as possible.

Good luck! Is motivating yourself to play a problem for you anymore?

Motivating myself to play isn't a problem at all for the moment. I've been playing close to 1k hands about 5 or 6 days/week since getting back.

While moving up, I'm expecting to be a little paranoid about always bringing my A game. I'll probably keep my sessions short (2 or 3 blocks of a cpl hundred hands/day) until I really settle into the level and - hopefully - make a few buyins to reach a BR comfort zone.

Last hand is sick...I just never pull these moves b/c i assume my opponents are donkeys, which they usually are.

I like it though, but like V-Z said I prefer if the flop was like 972 instead. Not a big diff tho. NH GL

Hand 1: Your hand reading on that hand sucks. Are you serious? "Fold your draw!"??? The guys range has so many pp's its not even funny. I like the bet but the reasoning of fold your draw is bad, yeah thats part of it but idk i can fire the river if he calls the turn.
Hand 2: Idk if I like the river bet. He has to fold 50% of his range that you don't already beat (the splits make this a lot more complicated).
Hand 3: I don't doubt you can fold the river, I probably do.
Hand 4: fun, its good/fine.
Hand 5: Interesting logic.

Yea Conor, I was going to say the same stuff as Alex and ZeroSkill. In that hand you really are only repping 777, even playing nitty, wouldnt you 3bet 99 pf? These are moves Ive recently incorporated into my game and they seem to be working well against thinking players.

Any interest in making a bet in terms of either money won [absolute money won, money per hand, BB per hand, etc] or hands played [absolute hands, hours played, whatever]? I think something like that would be fun and def helpful to both of us as it would make us interact more and really discuss poker more than we do.

Also, I sent that $40 to you on FT like a month ago, not sure if you have logged into that account in awhile though.

re : ISF

ya u r right about the hand I 2 barreled, he has a hand like 88 almost all of the time. Whether it was a bare FD with low cards or a mid PP it just seemed obvious he would be hard-pressed to call.

Regarding the river bet vs the nit, his stats just seemed so bad... Usually those players are incapable of calling river bets without at least top pair.

Andy I got the cash on FTP thx. I'll PM you about some sort of prop bet since I'm not sure I want to do it but I'd love to talk about things regardless.

Today I felt kind of timid so I just played a little at nl200.

Here is the only really interesting spot :

I tried as hard as I could, but I couldn't put villain on 2 cards that value-shove the turn.

Because of the aggression villain showed in 1st hand after a flop check, I figured river check was superior to shove. Also bet the turn because I felt I might get bluff-raised by a big diamond :

i here ya, on losing the nerve. Losing playmoney is a lot less stressful

Went against all of my rules today, playing some pretty sloppy poker at nl200 when I felt tired. Lost 6 buyins in just over 1.2k hands. Kinda wanna throw up.

I would much prefer to lose this $ playing focussed poker at nl400 but... bleh.

My biggest leak is not wanting to challenge myself and risk losing significant money.

I felt great and played great after playing a few short sessions at nl400 with somewhat scared money. I played with tremendous focus and this carried over even when I played down at nl200.

After missing a few days because of being sick, I pussed out and played nl200 on hardly any sleep. I should have either had some coffe and forced myself to play at a level that scares me, played super low-stakes if all i wanted was to have fun, or not played at all.

Hopefully I can learn from this. The money flying around at nl200 doesn't scare me at all. For whatever reason losing a buy in just makes me want to play looser and outplay ppl post flop, which is what gives me a kick.

If that's how I'm going to approach things, I might as well just play nl25, see every flop, and have fun.

I can't say I played horribly or anything, but there were a few things that I wouldn't have done out of fear at nl400 that ended up costing me pretty big at nl200.

Of course, it didn't help to win less than 40% of showdowns and there were a few shitty hands like these two where I don't mind my play at all :

Bleh bleh bleh. Back to nl400.

played short sessions both yesterday and today at nl400 and I'm down about 1 buy in after I resqueezed against a compulsive squeezer who had AA.

Feel like I'm playing o.k., but nowhere near as well as I'm capable of.

I felt like I was playing close to my full potential at the start of my move up to nl400 but already find that I'm kind of indifferent. I really want to work on playing with laser-like focus.

I think for me the best way to do this is to really tighten up preflop and honestly try to win (or at least make the perfect decision during) EVERY hand. This may seem obvious but it's not easy to do since it's so draining. Part of the problem may be playing on auto-pilot when I feel groggy in the morning. I really feel that when I'm playing tight preflop and am devoting all of my energies to every decision, I'm close to unstoppable.

Of course, pretty much every half-decent poker player feels the same, so the challenge is getting into that "zone" as much as possible.

Just played an awesome session. Only about 700 hands, but I was very very focussed for every one of them. Unfortunately, on the last orbit I got it in almost 200bb’s deep vs a HUGE fish with

:ks: :ts: on a :2s: :6c: :9s: :7s: board.

He had :as: :8s: and I threw up a little bit.

After getting set-over-setted a little earlier in a reraised pot, I’d have to say that I ran pretty poorly today. Regardless, I’m really really happy about the way I played tonight and hope I can keep up the intensity through the week.

Most of the hands I won were just small and medium-sized pots.

I made this call that turned my session from a small loss into a small gain :

Played about 1k hands in past couple days.

Feel like I'm playing really really well. Like I mentioned before, everything for me is about being in the right state of mind and I think I've been playing in that kind of zone lately.

So far I'm up about 7 buy ins at nl400 I think; can't be sure because results are scattered across a couple different computers but I'm happy both with my play and my results regardless.

My PokerTracker is being weird right now and I can't slap up HH's but from memory :

I've been punishing a donk who limp-calls everything.

4th or 5th time it happens, I have :ks: :7s:

He leads into me on k89 rainbow, I shove for 250 more (we are about 280 eff stacks) and he snap calls. Turn and river blank, JTo no good.

Another big hand was vs a 51/7 who had caught me value-bluffing with 88 on a T44 board (he lead into me and I shoved for about 80 more... he called w JT gg).

I was lucky enough to get 3 streets of value deepstacked with 88 on AAA7k board (he mucked 22...)

Least fun hand of all was losing with JJ vs TT ai preflop vs a fishy-passive type who limped utg (30/9ish). Tagg punished from HJ and I called w JJ on btn.

BB ninja goes AI for 26 more. Fish calls and tagg calls. Pretty sure tagg isolates here with QQ+ so figuring my hand is good I shove to isolate all the dead money (abougt 200ish).

Fish goes into the tank and calls with 3 secs left, tagg folds. River T gg 1k pot.

But whatever, time to watch the Red Sox lose and make me some money.

Is my image really that bad? Guy has been good and taggy 23/19ish :

lol wtf is up with his line in that last hand?

nice pot!

very nice lol

Not playing a hell of a lot right now. Kinda feel that blehness when summer turns to fall here in Montreal.

Been making some moniez but not feeling super pumped up or anything. I'm prob up about 9 buyins so far at nl400 and am +6kish since getting back from Peru. Been playing awesome lately but just don't feel that fire.

I may take a few days off or just keep playing short sessions.

For fun, I've been playing PLO25 lately and it s easily the most fun I've had playing poker since I started playing sit n go s on Stars 2 years ago. Ppl don't fold preflop to a single raise... ever. I think I've made about 15 buyins in 3 days just donking before going to bed.

I think my main weakness (not playing enough) could actually help out some people who grind and grind when they're playing/running badly. We all know it's the 1st rule of poker (just give up when you're having a bad day), but I know so many people who have that "get unstuck" mentality and punish themselves by sitting at tough tables with a shitty image.

I always err on the side of paranoia. Today I played a few orbits, was sitting at some reasonably fishy tables but just didn't feel it. I know myself well enough to know that in that mood I'm likely to make very very thin plays just for the sake of entertaning myself. It's basically an impatience that will lead to me spewing if I'm not careful.

So I just took my 200$ profit after 100 hands and now.. who knows, I'll find something else to do. One thing is for sure: I won't stick around and tilt myself by spewing. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get some hungrineses back and play a decent session.

Here's a hand I feel pretty meh about.

Playing draws is fun when you can rep more than the draw you're actually hoping to hit. In this hand, I felt like villain was very strong since it was the first time I'd seen him punish like this preflop.

I didn't think villain was particularly good, so I felt that he might put the rest of his stack in drawing dead, or close to it. Plan was to get lots of money in if my 8-outer hit the turn.

Once the flush completes on the turn, I have a really interesting opportunity since the :ah: really connected with the range I expected him to have (AK, AQ, KK, AA, QQ). I was caught between two conflicting principles :

1 - repping another draw that completes when yours misses
and
2- not bluffing a mediocre player off of a big hand

In my last post I talked about repping a draw that hits when yours misses. Here the villain seemed like a weak taggfish who auto c-bet every flop.

So I floated him, then picked up an 8-outer. Fun river :

lost a little over a buyin, mainly because I couldn't make a hand vs the villain from the 1st hands I posted. He left the table with about 400 bb's (puke) but at least I've got him on my buddy list.

Peace.

coming back home 2morrow after a week away for funerals, working on some projects and having fun with buddies

feelin good hoping to play some good poker updates are a comin

1st session back and made a few couple marginal and probably donkish calldowns.

1st one is this hand, where I pushed villain off QQ preflop in previous hand (he’s 13/6 and cold-called the SB’s 3-bet to my CO open… I shoved with AA and I’m pretty sure he isn’t lying).

I felt he may be tilty and trying to “get back at me”.

I’m kind of rusty and think that everything is possible here. Turns out the guy is a total nit who I’d doubt does very little adjusting, just plays his cards :

This is the sick one. Villain 3-bet me in an earlier hand where BB called the 3-bet. I had AA and decided to rep AK and open-shove, hoping at least the BB would come along for the ride.

Well, SB villain (guy in this hand), timed waaaaay down and eventually folded. He runs at 21/18 and seems very aggro and probably thinking so it made me think he had folded a big hand.

So this next time he 3-bets me and I call because we are deep (lol excusestoplaysuitedgapperaments)… Flop I call because it’s easy for me to rep TT-QQ which he may shut down on. My main concern is getting stack-a-donked on the turn so I check behind because I feel my best way to win the pot will be to raise a river blocker.

Then the fun begins. Rather than block, he bets very big. Now I think that he has a very strong hand. But because of his aggression (I’ve seen him fire and fire several times), I am also inclined to believe he’ll be doing this with air.

The big question becomes : how often do I think he’s bluffing or turning a medium-strength hand into a bluff here?

Since my line looks weak up to this point, I figure there will be lots of bluffs in his range. I’ve been running at 34/23 so I think he’s 3-betting me particularly lightly. So I think the answer to this question is “lots of the time”

The secondary question is how many of his strong hands can I get him to fold by shoving? While this may seem insane, we have an entire buy-in behind even after he bets close to pot on the river. So I’m lead to believe he’ll probably be able to get away from AK, KQ (although I’d doubt he bets KQ this strongly on the riv, so prob AK) and ***maybe*** AA.

I wouldn’t be totally surprised to see AA call here but I feel like it’s a ridiculously gross spot if he missed his turn CR ai with AA.

Is my line ever a bluff? It’s sure hard to rep anything. You’d think I’d prob bet a set on the turn for value or raise the flop…

I think in his shoes I just throw up because I expect to see 88 or 99 here a shitton cuz that's just how poker works lol.

Anyways, finished 1st session back + 2 buyins. Hopefully I can keep playing a decent amount and run hawwwwt.

1) This is a sketchy spot. I personally dont think Id call that river unless I knew he was a nut who would bluff all the way down. A bluff on that flop is really common, but when he keeps betting I just dont think you can call. I prob call turn because you are most likely getting paid off, but on the river I just dont see what he is leading with that we beat here. Id really expect to see trips a huge percentage of the time here.

2) This all really depends on how big of a maniac he is. It would take a pretty big fish for me to call the turn, I just feel like most of the time you going to be against a strong hand. Raiser is UTG, still cbet multiway pot and fired turn. It turns out that he is a huge fish, but Id need a very good idea of how he plays before Id tangle in a big pot like this with a marginal hand. As played, I dont think I can fold river, as a worse two pair or something like AK AQ is still possible. I would like to hear what other people think here though.

3) Im not sure I like this a ton without history. If you think you could reverse yeti somebody into calling with A-high, thatd be pretty sick, but I just dont like bluffing with a hand thats most likely good. What was your intention with this hand?

4) I feel like when I make moves like this, I get called by TT. Your line just doesnt make a ton of sense. A set is possible, but is it likely given your image? Personally, Id just fold to the 3bet. I dont think calling is horrible, but its just going to put you in such awkward spots postflop

in hand 3 I really don't know what I was doing. Part of me thought I could have the best hand and I would be protecting because of obv yeti considerations

other part of me thought I could get him to fold Tx or 99 ish holding

4) ya like I said in other thread, he prob just had air. i made the bet more because I figured weak to airish hands made up a pretty big part of his range and he d bet those after I showed weakness on flop and turn
