Hello CC members, for a while im planing to make a thread like this to try to imitate how work after a session could look and also to get a feed back on what different i should do after a session and what you guys do after a finished session.

Some of you probably know that im playing 2nl rush from july and that im planning to imply MSS into my play with playing 50bb deep. Lately i have noticed that coolers, bad beats and flops really affect my game later, even when i get sucked out on river or collered with top of someones range and even that i know that it is just poker and it had to happen sooner or later, it does affect on my hands later and when it happen more than once it really makes me tilt huge and stack off with mediocre hands.

Today i played 400ish hands

im 4 bucks down after like 15 minutes of play, this spot actually is a crossroad of a ones session, you are definitely tilt spew few buyins because you have lost one flip, what you gonna do next, spew some more and then quit or try to overcome that by playing the best you can and by avoiding all the marginal spots...

I have review every one of this hand i posted and i tagged them, i have made a note on every opponent involved in these hands, with holding, bet size reaction and board texture and this is how i plan to play in future ill review every session with every bigger hand won or lost no madder and ill try to make as much notes as i can on every one, hope it will help. Also those who follow my thread would see that i kept sitting on the table even when i get over 100bb, later i got to 200bb in few spots but wanted to stay there and adjust my play to the stack size i have, i realize that flop shove with qq and 100+bb deep was a mistake even with an overpair and ill try to remember that next time i play...


Would really love to get some input on all this, overall this is the whole session, every hand that madders won or lost, regardless to the final result i managed to get my shit together after i spew two buyins after just a cooler which is big deal in my game in these spots i would usually lose even more with more and more marginal situations

Here it goes:

1) KK - Flop is either fold or shove depending on reads but 90% shove because his 3x pot donk is almost never 7x. After losing the hand best action was to sit out and go into HM2 and review - after you realize he had a combo draw with good equity, correct is to shrug + make a note on him and move on.

There is no reason to tilt, as you say he had plenty of outs and this isn't a huge suckout even if he is a fish.

2) KQo - Stacking this off preflop without a note that says he is a maniac who stacks off ATC is pure spew. After you did this you should have just stopped playing until you cooled down.

3) KQo No. 2 - This is not how you play MSS. No initiative + dominated offsuit hand = preflop fold (you can't 3bet profitably and calling is out of the question). Preflop AND postflop this is just spew.

4) A7s - OOP this is a fold even vs. 2 players, you will hit 2P+ only 5% of the time and a flush draw another 5% of the time (+you will hit some OESDs, gutshots and combo draws but even that isn't enough) which is not profitable. Don't play dominated hands OOP without initiative. Also you are overpaying the flush draw on flop + turn is always a fold due to high price and paired board. This is exactly how not to play.

5) KQs - If you check flop to encourage him then at least play more aggro on turn and especially river. You must notice he only needs an Ace for nut straight and he WILL call to chop/win (he will discount a flush) much higher than what you charged him.

6) 55 - Bet river always between 1/2 pot and 3/4 pot.

7) ATo - I dislike opening this (again easily dominated offsuit hand) but otherwise OK.

8) QQ - Looks OK if you can take the variance (it appears you can't though).

9) KK - Ugly situation but typical. Theoretically correct is to XC here once or even twice (not river because three barrels are almost always beating you) but you can take this line if you want, just don't overpush it. He isn't folding an Ace most likely.

10) TT - Turn bet should be between 0.61 and pot. He probably has a diamond draw. If he rivers a diamond you can fold to the shove or even call since you overcharged him for the card and you get a "free" shot at his bluffs.
