Hello everyone,. (wall of presentation and text, i promise the rest will be shorter)

I've been a member of cardschat for over a month now and I've played poker for short periods in the past 10 years. I've got a decent payed job after finishing college and finally starting january this year I've decided to play cash game poker, learning and progressing through stakes from the lowest ones.
I've got license for PT4 so I've put some time into this tracker, how to use it, what stats to keep up in tables, colors sizes and pretty much all i need to start gaining the right information and having it available in the very moment.
I've also researched for the best resources for micros cash and ended up getting the book "crushing the microstakes" by Nathan "blackrain79" Williams. Great book for micros still trying to get am game up to the points resented in there. If anyone wants to know this i started by making a note containing preflop strategy and apply IT and then just add up to it and creating additional notes.
I start this thread here keep posting about my real constant journey in poker. My goal is to play around 30k hands every month or more depands on different stuff. Also from what I've read the best microstakes players can beat 2nl for 30bb/100. Probably not true but i don't care that much about money so i am trying to be around 5-7 in the begining and improve.
I've made a deposit in early january on pokerstars for around $60 and on 888 for $50. Now up to around $100 on PokerStars and $70 on 888 after 1 month and around 40k hands. I'll post exact numbers later and progress probably every sunday. I'll post some difficult hands ( easy to mark them while playing using pt4 ) pretty much when i get the time for that.
I'll review my sessions regularly and let others know and ask opinions about difficult things. Also If You are curious about some specific hand stats i can give that.. nothing about my play is secret since i am here to improve and maybe help others improve along.
Finally the goal is to get to play 10nl regularly by the end of the year (im from Romania so those stakes would be already decent).
Thank you and i will post more stats when i am not at work. Good luck to everyone and a very nice day.

Hello so, as I've said I'll only play 2NL that will be to a bankroll of $150 on PokerStars and move up to 5NL after that.

I've already played 35k hands in around 1 month. Graph after this 1 month looks like this. ( I keep my PokerStars and 888 account merged in PT4 for better use of stats ).

( If you know a better way to share images tell me ). Anyway I'm not sure about what type of hands people would like to see or talk about so i will just start by posting some with more deep decisions i had to play.


I always try to play as many pots as possible in position even with decent cards vs fishy opponents for as cheap as possible ( limp if necessary ). In this hand 2 high VPIP players limped so i limped behind. The guy who had the K high flush I would never expect him to play it like that I think it was so weird. But I'm curious about others opinions.

Well i am ok with my limp in position vs 2 high VPIP opponents since if i raise they both will probably call and i just make a bigger pot which i can't take away with a CBet often enough. I believe in that specific situation the limp is better but if you think something else tell me why..

Normal tables only 9max now and thinking of adding some 6max in the future but not sure about it yet. I mostly 4-table but get up to 5-6 if i see favourable tables with seats open.

Hi Gohaku and welcome to CC. Did you ever play in a home game called EPC. I played with a young man with that user name on poker stars, was wondering if it might be you.

Nice to see you again, i see that you finished your university and working now. Good luck with your cash game adventure, you seam to be doing great so far, up on both poker rooms. Keep posting, there are a lot of good freerolls here at CC. Once you get enough posts, check out the CC league, it's a good place to practice tournament play, very tough competition. See you on the felts soon.

Raise pre because if either of them fold some percentage of the time youre denying equity and by generating even some fold equity, youre turning a virtually 0EV limp into a positive EV raise. And id disagree that you dont tale it down often enough on a cbet to be +EV, on this kind of board trxture you only really need 30% FE

You might be right about the CBet but i don't see that as a big deal vs 2 fishy players. About 0EV limping can be + or - EV. In this situation i consider it a slightly -EV but vs 2fishy players again i'm ok with seeing a cheap flop. Folding is 0EV

Against players with a high VPIP, you definitely want to raise pre flop if you start with a tighter range. In addition to fold equity, on average, he'll have a worse hand than you, so you want to make his odds worse.

Otherwise, well played hand and looking forward to following!

Yeah maybe limping was not the best.. but Q9s is close to my bottom range in that spot. Lots more hands if it's unopen and im on the button but with any action behind i am still pretty confused about how to play hands. Id open around 40% or more depands of the players in the blinds but with 2 limps it messes with my brain lol :)
Postflop it's more straight forward.

Anyway thank you for your response i do incline to make a raise in that spot now even tho i might still limp (newbie play). Good luck to you.

Hello, so i have tried to post yesterday when i got home but I already posted 10 times and since i'm new i found out that i can post only 10 posts per day till some number. Anyway last days went average at bet with some interesting hands and not so many big pots in a decent number of hands (managed to lose over 1BI from bb without even playing a hand just by posting lol).I will try while posting to explain my thinking and giving some math concepts about my play and stuff like that and maybe it can help me develop a more clear way to think during hands too not just while analizing.


So the first hand i got AsKs on the button. There is a open from utg, call from the CO (i am not worried if others cold call before me since they would raise with stronger hands) so i decide to 3bet around 3.5x which i think it's pretty standard maybe could have raise bigger since there are 2 people before me in pot.
Anyway after BB called and i get that flop first think i look is how much there is left to play behind. There around 1.5SPR (pot is 60c and there is 90c to play for) and at that point I am thinking i am never folding there is just how i will get my hand all in faster and preferably on flop.
After he checked I can bet like 40c and he calls and a 2 or something of diamond comes on the river that sucks cause the pot would be too big and I decided to shove it right there ( I did the math too in that situation and even the BB calls me there with a set, KK or AA my shove is profitable ) and he can fold lots of stuff too which is still got cause he folds his equity. Result:


Seat 1 (Hero) is the dealer
Villain 1 posts the small blind 0.01
Villain 2 posts the big blind 0.02
Villain 3 raises to 0.06
Villain 4 folds
Villain 5 folds
Villain 6 folds
Villain 7 folds
Villain 8 calls 0.06
Hero raises to 0.25

Villain 2 calls 0.23

River: <font color='red'>Q♥</font>
Action has ended
Hero shows [Ks As] Two Pair, Queens and Threes
Villain 2 shows [Kc Kh] Two Pair, Kings and Queens
Villain 2 wins 2.38


Another hand i have KK utg. I open and get 3 callers and a decent flop. Looking again at this hand i think i should have bet the flop way bigger like 27-30c so close to pot. Again on turn should bet around 70-75% so the guy from CO would be all in on turn and the decision on river would not be there. Even if i'm never folding on river for that amount.


Seat 5 (Villain 62) is the dealer

Hi, so i came to a more clear proces of how i will manage my game selection between PokerStars and 888.
For some reason my my brain feels more confortable on PokerStars so because of that I will always look for favourable tables on PokerStars. I try to 4-table but i do up to 6 if i see more good tables. If i cant find 4 tables at PokerStars i look for some on 888 but pretty much always have one up on 888 too. Also on 888 i play some tournaments freerolls and some 50c-$1 depands on the structure but not too often.
Because of the lower amount of cash games played on 888 i will post bankroll results from PokerStars for now at least till i move up to 5nl.
I will try to post graphs and bigger updates every sunday ( with the graph for the past week ) since it's a Little longer play and about 10k hands which is more relevant than 1 day of playing and losings or winnings.
Might say sometime what is the curent bankroll (on PokerStars or 888 If someone ask.. it's not a secret) but without graph and details cause i try to focus on learning and on the long run.
I'll post some other interesting hands with my thought process tonight but not sure it will be daily since i try to leave coolers out because they are boring. Sometime i win sometime they win that's it.
Thank you and good luck

Unlucky hand

So a interesting hand (ignore the call preflop, i know it's not optimal but the result would have been exactly the same).

I think everything was perfectly played, would play the same 100% and was just unlucky. Would anyone play differently?

i dont mind the limp with 56suited because its a hand with high implied odds, and it seems the table dynamic is very limp heavy. with one player already limping infront of you, its very likely to just limp around and youll get to see a cheap flop with good odds. the reason that i dont like the limp with the QTsuited from earlier was because you are in position, and QTs plays better headsup than multiway.

56s should probably still be a fold pre though, but i like over-limping 56s in early position better than limping QTs on the button where you should be raising.

J8s should definitely just be a fold pre

and definitely definitely definitely 100% dont limp KQs. raise pre

i'd be interested to see what your VPIP/PFR/3b stats are... if i had to guess its probably pretty close to 45 vpip / 10 pfr / 4 3b which is not very good

Stats

Haha interesting guess about my stats but after 44k hands my stats are: VPIP: 13 PFR: 8 and AGG: 2 with a 2.2% 3bet. Still curious why did you assume such stats from those plays?

because 56s is ranked as top 50% based on the sklansky/malmuth hand rankings

so how do your lifetime stats compare to your recent stats, like past 5k hands or so?

Seems odd to me that If a hand is top 50% in a hand ranking and i play that hand in a situation you belive I play every other hand from that 50% range in any situation.
I mean you assumed that i have are 45% vpip but a specific situation where i called 56s it's not indicative.. If that would be the first hand of the sesion and You don't have any infos at me, but i have about some others ar the table (a guy who limp alot preflop and passive guys behind me and i have position) You can't really belive after 1 hand that i am total clueless.
I fold 56 over 90% of the time, If i play it i want position, a bad player already in the pot and be close to sure i will see the flop for the price i am paying. If someone opens for around 3bb before me the only way im playing 56 is 3bet to around 10bb If he have hight fold to 3bet or give up on alot of flops and If there are no calling statoions behind me.
About my stats at any range of 5k hands in time is close to the total.
Thank you for your thoughts, i understand that 56s might be too loose in that situation but the risk is 1bb.

Stats after 1 week-February

Hello, So after one week of play of this month (or 10 days since this is the first report for this month lol) I've played 14.101 hands with a winrate of 8.84bb/100 ( at this moment) for a profit of $24.92. (Graph in attached image). I reviewed all my hands some multiple times, with some decent improvements. Did some huge mistakes which cost me quite alot (over $10 from what i've calculated) just with folds i should have made but instead shoved (did the math and used equity calculators and at one point i shoved with a 5% chance to win if I get payed and I did and lost :flute:).


Actually this is the hand. If he calls me with any set and assuming he calls me with any K which he might not do it i have are 5.6% chance to win. I am working on my mistakes so it's ok, better to do something dumb and lose and learn from it than do something dumb and win an be happy.

At the moment my bankroll on pokerstars is $118.34, and I am close to a $10 reward for 1000 starcoins (918 atm might make enough soon). At $150 might move up to 5NL and if it's going bad (losing 5BI) go back down to 2NL and grind again so 5BI is my limit of loosing at a new stake.
I might not move up to 5NL directly at $150 since it seems like it's going pretty fast and i feel like i don't beat 2NL hard enough yet (still make huge dumb mistakes and want to correct them at this limit since i lose less here).
At 888 my bankroll is only is $79.46 but i am not worried since I play here only max 2 tables when i don't find enough good tables on pokerstars. Also on 888 i try to play some 50c mtts while playing cash tables on stars since there are less people registered in mtts and should be easier to make it to money. So pokerstars is the platform where i'm doing my moving up and stuff.


A pretty passive hand played by me ended up well i guess, i hate being OOP. I don't really know how to react when i hit it OOP, i sometimes donk it sometime check call and sometime check-raise, i guess i have to study it in more depth cause seems like it's so random what i do OOP.
