Miff's luckboxx drive to 400nl.

[Miffed22001]

Over the last 12weeks, since i got a job my bankroll has decreased from $41k to what is now barely $18k.
Fwiw, i dont have a PT graph to show, i had to reset my laptop and didnt have a backup so i lost like >400000 hands from my db since august.

Ive posted in various threads that when i quit uni i went full time while i looked for a job and ran disgustingly good at 200nl and made the swicth to 400nl at 16k and have been playing at those games nicely since.
I also took down 5k in a prima tourney and was seriously thinking about going pro for real and playing 3/6nl 5/10nl.
However i got a job and have been just been getting hands ever since.
But i have been running god awful, like AA cannot win in a reraised pot and hasnt won all in preflop for 22k hands.

The simple fact of the matter is that i can no longer argue it is variance. I am doing something seriosuly wrong with my game. Yet i dont think i spew to badly and when i play a laggy game i run over tables easily. But when i move to TAGG its just like i cannot win a showdown to save my life.

So, after my initial moan (feeling sorry for myself time over) i have decided to start an operation.
I am going to withdraw all but 1k of my br while i try to get some confidence back, im going to log into pokerroom with that 1k and start playing 50nl.
My operation is simply to get 10k hands in per month and too see where the hell i am at the end of 10k hands.
Im going to post all HH's in this thread, and im staying away from what has become my primary games recently, PLO and 5draw.

Anyone who has any other suggestions please post, i really coudl do with some well wishing right now.

[Miffed22001]

Starting br $1386. (lol, towergaming just gave me $400 to clear too)

[Da GOAT]

man you should at least start at 100NL. why not just start with $2500 as your BR???

unless you've withdrawn your BR for a reason i dont see why you dont start there. 100NL isnt far off 50NL at all. a bad run has affected you confidence WAY to much.

GL tho ill be watching.

[Miffed22001]

ive run horribly at 100nl too recently, and im way beyond the point i can argue that its *just* variance.

Anyway, first small session.
Results +$69.95

Hand 1. So wanted to call this as i feel he has a flush draw, but i dont even have the nut nothing hence i cant call a pot sized bet. Not sure how i like ot potting the turn in which case i call any river regardless.

where are your cards in those hands that don't get to showdown? This format sucks.

[zook]

Sorry to hear about your downswing. I agree with Da Goat though, you should move down to 100NL, not 50NL. There's a big skill difference between the two imo, but since you've been playing 200 & 400 recently, I wouldn't worry about it.

Also, if lagging it up works for you, why try to force the tag game? Use whichever the players at your table dictate.

Quick session this morning and a horribly weka fold with QQ.
Thought id raised to $12 with the intention of folding to a push but when this guy pushed i thought he really did have JJ/AK. Typical that even missing an out he still caught even though i make a horrible fold.

Sorry to hear you're on such a huge downswing. I agree with the other posters - youre too much of a player to step down to 50NL.

rofl

Because the concept of a proven highstakes player moving down to 50NL means he can share insights into the game. What does HE do that I am NOT doing -- and when I'm comparing 25NL to like 400NL well its too easy to say "but the games are different, the opponents are more aware" so when a 400NL player plays 50NL and I'm at 25NL its way, way, way more helpful.

Please be extremely descriptive and post tons of hands

Hand #2: Why check through turn? Why no raise on river? (I think i know the second part)

[Miffed22001]

Hand #2: Why check through turn? Why no raise on river? (I think i know the second part)

my hand has showdownvalue but is not ultra strong. Reopening the betting when i feel opp is only calling with better hands = -ev.
Pushing the river is sexy if i thought he had ace high flush draw and might call it (doubt that though, it is only 50nl and opps sofistication of poker thinking is not that deep)
He could also very well have a straight draw na dmade it on the river (i put him to a range but not a specific hand per se)

Turn check is debatebale(sp ugh) Im going to get called down light, at this point opp is unknown, i also cant stand a raise despite having lots of outs. I also dont want to play a huge pot here if i can help it. Im looking for my opp to make an error, not to force me into one.
If he bets the river and i bricked, i may push and hope to god my flush draw read was right and he didnt have 98/67.

[Miffed22001]

BR $1577.

Tonights hands.

Hand 1.

Only stack for tonight. Plays itself. Opp either has a jack here or amedium pp and is calling me down (very rarely he has a boat)
Hence, i check the river to push because no way is he getting away from a jack on this board IMO. I feel in this spot that the money made from c/r all in versus a worse trips/boat outweighs the value i might get from betting here versus a medium pp/Ax and gtting a call.
A decent player may get away from KJ/QJ but thats yough considering my sickish river line.
fwiw, opp was pretty good for the stakes, tight and fairly aggressive.

hand 2.

Much tougher i think. My only instinct is that a jack would play this way, as would a flush draw. If opp has JT/or Tx he would minraise here because i cant fold my hand.
Pushing just didnt make sense, and my spidey sense said call, so i did.

Sorta thought i played indifferent tonight so some good posts and bad posts in this lot.
Ill start with the bad if i may

Hand 1.
Opp was unknow at this time, but turned out to be a super fish i had position on.
According to Caro (plz dont kill me fnord) when an opp insta-checks when a danger card hits, he missed. In other words youre free to bet. The reasoning is that playing against bad players, they havent thought out a line they will take if they hit theyre draw, so they need time to think about what they are going to do. (anyone who has seen soupie play online knows he is the master at this, you get no information from the time he takes to act) Hence i shoulda pushed this river and hoped he called with what i guessed was KQ/KJ. Had no idea what he had on flop but showdown is cool, wasnt far away.

Hand3.
Easy boat to play. Called on the flop because i want the flush draw and the trips to come along for the ride, once i figured out who had the trips it was easy enough to grossly overbet my hand to get a call. (P.S lol@one outer flop.)
fwiw, these games are soft and im playing passive preflop games so no need to raise 77 preflop without a good reason as players are stacking off quite light as ive demonstrated.

Hand4.
Preflop is iffy, but im playing with the super fish who calls from the sb so i cannot risk not seeing a flop here. I made a decision on the flop that the shorty's insta-bet meant he was felting any cards he was playing, hence a AKQ free turn i was betting/calling a push as i liked my hand.
Normally this is not good, but again, my spidey sense went off and i decided opp was too likely to felt AK/AQ/KQ on the turn for me to fold the equity i had here.

Hand5.
Most interestin hand against the super fish.
Not sure what he mucked here, but i couldnt put him on a two. So therefore he could have had anything. Now i look back he may have had AJ/KJ/JT in which case i played it right by potting the river (he loved to call)
Maybe, just maybe, i could have pushed here hoping my bet looks really bluffy and that opp loves to call (he'd need KJ to call though i think) in which case i left a shitload of cash on the table. No sure, not unhappy with how i played it, but feel i didnt maximise EV.

Fwiw, currently running 30bbs/100 (15PTbbs) so running damn hot, which makes a change.

[euphoricism]

Hand 3: 77 on a 722 flop. The turn I dont understand a call, you said to get the flush/straights to call along -- but... wont they call a small bet anyway? Would you consider a minraise or maybe just a little bit more? Make it like $4?

Then you say it was easy once you knew who had it -- howd you know? Or is the river just swinging for the fence? And is that preferable over a valuebet?


Hand 4.. short player... c/r flop AI?

Hand 5.. no cbet.. why? pointless because of villains propensity to call with near any two? My normal spot would be to freecard this one by cbetting like 2/3rds pot and then checking through turn. Is that / how bad is that?



PSssst. Make a video..

[Miffed22001]

in 3, i dont want to tip that i have at least a 2 on the turn because i want whoever has it to bet the river so i can push or for the flush draw to bluff and cause the 2 to raise so i can push easier or so that everyone will check to me so i can bet/push looking like i missed my flush.
The point of raising the turn is that everyone will probably check to me on river meaning ill bet pot and get called, possibly raised by a boat (but you know how passive fish can be with the nuts) so if i just call i encourage those showing aggression to continue to do so and for those who think they can bluff it to 'have a go' at a bluff, so to speak.

Hand 5 is just bad.
I should have c-bet and shut down on turn where im beating nothing, my problem was playing a big pot oop. I played his horribly, if id c-bet and folded thereafter it would have been fine.

Hand 4.
If id have been sure he didnt have KQ id have shoved, but on the flop im a dog/ 55/45 versus his suspected overs. On the turn when its blank i can bet/push because hes a dog at that point.
Normally this flop is a fold i think compared to opps stacksize and raise range preflop.

Yeah crappy run, dont see much to complain about. The Ax c/r ai.. yeah.. youre behind more than you arent, even if its just by the kicker.

Moved up to 100 already?

[LimpinAintEZ]

Sorry to hear about your downswing. I agree with Da Goat though, you should move down to 100NL, not 50NL. There's a big skill difference between the two imo, but since you've been playing 200 & 400 recently, I wouldn't worry about it.

Also, if lagging it up works for you, why try to force the tag game? Use whichever the players at your table dictate.

Hand3.

This station was totally owning me, i couldnt win a pot to save my life.
Obviously i check flop because i dont want to get raised off a lot of outs so i check, i also felt i could rep a lot of turn cards. I promptly did and decided again on river id either get called for all the chips by a bad player or wouldnt. Id also bluff like this. Guess he turned up with a real hand and got wtfowned. gg gutshoted.
Id also note, opps river check means hes c/c'ing c/f'ing or c/r'ing hence i think hes more likely to check/call a real overbet because it looks so bluffy (stack sizes being unimportant to 50nl players mostly)

Played some 100nl tonight to see if i could take my slowly rebuilding confidence to the enxt level.
Found two tables with some super fish so lets go through it!

Hand1.

KK no good. I prefer this line, it isnt horrible just easy to bluff me out. I only bet river because i actually thought he may have a medium pp. Forgot it was 100nl not 400nl

Going to play my first live SNG tomorow. Prob get two games of 12man table in, buy in is £10 so hope to do some busting. But obviously im ging to gambOOl and drink. Shame though, blind structure is cool and quite deep and will give me an edge but meh i fancy a beer more than $480 :P

BR $1668.

Played cool again tonight. 50nl seems to be doing my wrecked career some good.
Ive posted whatever came to mind

Hand1.
On flop i get minraised by trips i think. So ace is a fair sized blank (im guessing opp may have A2 but i think that unlikely)
Hence i think this is a mid pp or flush draw a whole lot.
TT goot ftw!!!!
AGain, no reads just instinct to put him all in with 3rd best hand at least.

if opp is a calling station arent you missing out on alot of value by not betting turn?? ie miss turn bet and larger river bet.

what are your thoughts there

[Miffed22001]

i thought he would bet the turn for me so i was going for stack a donk, but he didnt so i knew if i potted the river id look bluffy or get called by tp a whole lot.
Also, i could c/c c/r river as normal against someone i think has a king, but by the turn and river im not beating any decent Kx hand.

Miffed, did you notice anything about Aledan1 - where he's from etc? I have a poker buddy called Aledan (second last hand, he's from Cambridgeshire) who disappeared from the face of the world 6 months ago and it'd be good to know he's back.

[Miffed22001]

hes labelled:
'fish'
calls big preflop raises with no odds to make real hands
calls too much, esp oop
felts weak hands against predictably strong action.

No idea where he was from though :P

[Miffed22001]

BR $1750

Been playing really tight att his table but this guy had raised a few times like this and id lead a few flops with hands i liked but kept running into this action.
Thought about a call and stack a donk line, but then thought this guy would stack off with an overpair regardless.
gimme yo' monies bitch!!!

hand2.

This hand is worth posting i think. Im guessing he has a flush draw or tp on the flop. My turn bet is for value but it ensures that if i get raised folding is easy. I felt betting $20 on turn priced me in to calling pushes or ANY river and i didnt want to do that. I didnt like the jack because i felt he could have QJ here a lot.
On the river i know everything got there but i priced in a flush draw and its worth him betting to win this, i could easily have a flush draw here too. Saying that i should be more inclined to call a push but fold to a real bet like this. Meh i felt calling was good folding bad but open to opinions.

Because he doesnt raise preflop and its HU i think jack high flush always good here, thats why when i bet 25 on river i expect him to push, didnt see he had a few dollahs left but meh. In a blind battle i felt this always. I thought hed open push river or allow me to get him all in, hence i dont care what river brings.

hand against a super fish. I think 25 is enough for him to show me a bigger pair that i sucked out on, but then again he prob thinks i can be bluffing here which is wrong because he was literally 80/60 and i didnt need PAHUD to tell me that. I think he folds to $30 fwiw.

Right, ill be back to 100nl permanently from now on as i'll have 2k soon enough.

[silu73]

How do you decided to move up? BR management or confidence? I still play $50NL shorthanded because I only have $2500 and have read that 30x buy-ins are recommended. However, i tried the GBP50NL tables on Crypto last night which is closer to $100NL and my VPIP has dropped from 21 to 16.

[Miffed22001]

ive played upto and including 1000nl so im happy i know how the games play. Im also happy that at the moment i am playing albeit slightly nitty/TAGGY poker for me, i am playing good poker, with the exception of about 4-5hands.

100nl doesnt play much different from 50nl really, other than you find some definite long term winners and a few more campers.

Im playing good poker at the moment, but then im running good.

I think ill post a new updated thread for something like $$$$$$ target after 30k hands to keep me on track.

The 18k i cashed can sit around for a while.

[Da GOAT]

dont start a new thread, just change your title now. Just keeps a nice flow going and shows how you've developed (tho your prob not interested in that bit)

[Miffed22001]

BR $2321

Well if i were to post my PT graph now for the end of march it'd show me up $705 at 22bbs/100 over 4.2k.

As noted on my op thingymajiggy im going to play 30k hands before i even think about adding my 18k roll back to this one.

30k @ 8bbs/100 @100nl = $2400

SO i should add another $1940 to my roll

So, goal after 30k hands of 100nl (going to take nearly 2months WTF badbeataments!) is a BR of $4200~ +bonuses+rb.

Ill add my 18k cashed out roll back at that point but i need to try and remember wtf made me a roll in the first place.

[Miffed22001]

im not sure what i think of hand 2.

im pretty sure he has tp, not a draw, but having a draw is something id factor in.

When i check behind i know he will bet tp, and must bet a missed draw. Hence, i think i can raise him on the river and because he isnt great he will call with tp a lot, which is what i want. By giving him a chance to suck out i also give him a chance to make a bigger error.

The same thinking goes to playing a set.
Example:

MP decent player raises i call on button with pp.
I flop a set on 2 flush board.
Opp bets (assume hes TAGGY not really tricky) i call.
On turn most over pairs tp's will bet here again, so i call.
ELSE, if he checks for pot control, then i check behind (fairly solid read required)
then if river blanks for the flush, opp bets and we can push (looking bluffy) or else opp checks and we push (loking bluffy again) and hope that by losing value but possibly allowing a suckout, we get opp to make a horrible mistake and not just a small/medium sized one.
Obviously, if you play super nit at 100nl this wont work as you dont bluff, but if you are capable of a bluff or are super aggro (or playing against donks who have made a stack) then its certainly worth the effort.

Its just another line to get expected hands to make bigger mistake than normal.

[Miffed22001]

if i read that right you only played 4.2K hands in 2 weeks.

tut tut, go kill April man.

im averaging 2-3 hrs per day plying time, so while i may only 2table on pokerroom because i dont adapt to 5max very well normally and pokerroom runs so slow on my machine.

So if im playing prima, where i may move back to next, and im 5 tabling on software i like i can turn out 20-25k hands per month and not just 10k.

J5s ftw baby!!!!!!

[Da GOAT]

his play aint so bad, give him credit for having sooooooooted cards!!!!

[Miffed22001]

BR $2765

Time to post some stats etc.

[Miffed22001]

Well anyway, 6k hands it not a sample size so whatever.

My stats are actually quite passive, and as a general rule arent very good for what i should be aiming for.
However, they are just about right IMO considering the tables and game im playing in.

I dont just sit at any 100nl 5max table thats open, im looking to sit behind shortys. Therefore when they limp i take cheap flops with hands ahead of their range capable of making monsters and raise them to death with hands like KTs as well as AK/AQ etc.
Also, these games are super passive anyway, so no need to raise up pps preflop, although im 99+ regardless, even though 99 and KK are losers currently (lol sample size)
Fwiw, this is 6.6k hands played in 60hours (im only two tabling as my computer hates pokerroom)
When i get back to prima etc (or fork our for repairs on my comp) ill up my hands/hour.

I think im gona post all the hands where i lost a stack tosee how many are actually having the worst hand and how many are just dumb plays (im guessing all are the second)

[cardsman1992]

JEEZ!!

24 PTBB/100
17 PTBB/100

I know its a small sample my but MY GOD!!

coach me please?

FWIW, I had been getting raped at $100 6 max after a hot start. I went to the basics ($25) to start over and learn to play 6 max, and I am running 16 PTBB/100 over about 6500 hands.....good stuff.....

Keep up the good work!

[Miffed22001]

Miff runs good, dont underestimate its short term effects.

[euphoricism]

lookin good sir. I'm about to make my jump up to 100 as well. Weeee

[Miffed22001]

200nl shots baby.

Br $3190.

Got annoyed when some guy played two pair really passive on the turn and rivered me (obviously i c/r'ed all in with the second nut straight and got owned but whatever) so decided to sit at 200nl.
+$132 after 100 hands (lol sample size) so i nearly have my tower $200 bonus and will think about what im going to do next.
I guess i set a 30k hand operation which i will complete, and i think if i rejig it when i hit 4k so that when i get to $8k and are ready for 400nl shots ill add my 18k roll back so that i can get stuck into 400nl and 600nl again.

Also, wtf? As soon as i sat at 200nl i reverted straight back to 30/20 lhe stats. i mean, am i a bot or something? Thats far too loose versus fish

[cardsman1992]

Speaking of getting annoyed at passiveness, do you ever find yourself frustrated at people that limp behind you with AK, then just call your top pair down at the river? You know they are making a huge mistake, but you think to yourself, "YOU CAN RAISE AK FUCKTARD!!!! That seems to get me offkilter. How do you deal with it?

[Anosmic]

200nl shots baby.

Br $3190.

Now I hate you.

Plz refrain from posting when you reach 7k5 and bragging or I'll sue you for breach of copyright. Ok? Tx.

You know they are making a huge mistake, but you think to yourself, "YOU CAN RAISE AK FUCKTARD!!!! That seems to get me offkilter. How do you deal with it?

i see quite a few people limping big hands and then just call call calling down to the river. Yeah sure, i definitly post a 'lol' in chat and laugh at how bad some people can play but thats about it. As far as im concerned, they loose lots and lots of value versus my potential calling range and then best of all, when i actually have then totally owned, they still stack off anyway. So the amount of time i raise with KQ, get called to the river and they flip AA, i laugh at how many times they stack off with AA on KQx when i make a button raise with KQ.
The one thing i make sure of however, is that i dont play with super nit/passives much anymore and when i do i take unconvential ranges to them so that when i flop, i flop hard versus their range. And obviously, becuase im quite aggro, they take one pair to the river in semi-big spots/pots which is a big mistake.

[Miffed22001]

BR $3600

Second bonus of $200 given to me by tower gaming, plus a $250 other random bonus i got from an affiliate.

Cashing out and moving to party to do the bonus they have on offer and then will change to empire for the same reload and play party 100nl/200nl for a bit and see how i get on. Ill drop in on ladbrokes as well between for a $50 bonus for an hours play

[Miffed22001]

BR $3815.

I run sickly goot. have moved to party to do the reload, got $15 for free (no idea why, maybe party like me at last?) and will soon clear the $100.

Im thinking about staying at party for a bit as i havent tried the 200nl games, but im not a fan of party to be frank.

Anyway, thought id post some utterly standard hands and a few others.

Hand1.

Didnt know what opp had preflop, guessing a pp etc, but i check flop to encourage two streets of calling, hence the river ~pot bet which i know is getting called if he found a paor on this board.
Normally i dont check this flop because i like to steal this with AK a lot.

Same idea here. Im not a fan of potting the river a lot, but when your hand is semi hidden or you take non-standard lines versus people who want to show you pairs, then definitly do as ISF says and pot rivers.
This hand would be really interesting if opp pots river into me or c/r's all in as JT looks horrible against that line...

So i renamed my thread! Yey

next target is the standard 8k to play 400nl (ill add my br back at that point but for the mo it stays inactive)

My (huge) datdabase of 25k hands, with a 17k downswing shows im winning at 5bbs/100 so for the mo i dont think its too bad to expect to beat 200nl for that rate over the next period.

therfore, expecting to make $10 per 100 hands and needing 4k to meet my goal i estimate ill need to play 40k hands to make $8k.
Currently, im getting in about 15hours per week, and for most of the op ill be 4tabling various sites so if im getting in 300~ hands per hour im expecting it take 130~hrs of play which is approx 10weeks.

So, my goal is that i will have an 8k bankroll by June 30th, having run 5bbs/100 @200nl for 40k hands.

I think ill be showing just how good games still are for non-US players around the web. Im probably going to bank all rb and bonuses as i need to buy my missus a b'day prezzie and im expecting to do some travelling etc over the next few weeks/months while i try to find a graduate position/managerial position within the company i work for.

GL me.

Heh - I played against Sidis, kussimurran and Adamkosh today - I agree with you about Sidis - typically over-aggressive, should be fairly easy to manipulate when you're playing your a-game. Adamkosh was good - 21/16/5, so I just avoided him. Kussimurran just seemed kinda tight/weak.

[Miffed22001]

kussimurran is a sterotypical weak/tight i agree, if he raised more he'd get himself to 400nl in no time because he didnt spew at all in 1k hands with me.
Sidis is 2p2 and said i ran good, i just told him he played bad +600 from him. Hes also 12 tabling and spews horribly. i found a post by him where he flopped a flush draw and raised my lead after i raised from the sb HU and i just pushed. Reminds me of my own play before i moved upto 200nl originally.

didnt notice adamkosh, so he prob isnt that good. I dont have him here but some guy baiterz or something is good, constant 3bbs raises, but hasnt figured out how to play against an aggro button like me yet.
