Alright so I'm finally making a cash game thread, after declining requests for it and whatnot. I figure it may be good for me in the end.
Like orangepeeleo, I received a stake to play 50nl two weeks ago (which I had never properly grinded before). Got the whole 1000 euros up front, withdrew to rub on titties / get hookers and blow / upload it back.
The beginning has been very rough, I managed to steadily lose over 11 BI's in 10 days playing bad and tilting. After 2 of my best months in Jan-Feb I started to tilt, tilted 15 BIs @ 20nl before the stake and continued into the stake it seems.
Got it all back and more on Friday and Sat, finally started to play a bit better, however about 2BIs I had won I'll probably never get because of Entraction server crashing just then. Gotta hate that.
Today was another losing day though, I felt I played ok although some tilting during the session, almost -4BIs under EV tho that doesn't mean much, went from being 2.5 BIs up to about the same down in the end. Oh well, life. I feel I was mostly unlucky running into the top of people's ranges in lots of spots.
So right now I'm pretty much -2 BIs down, after 18.5k hands, breakeven in reality if you consider those pots when the damn server crashed.
I feel I'm almost a 50nl winning reg but not quite, sometimes I do mind blowingly fancy plays & reads pwning regs, or nice thin value bets, other times I'm making stupid call downs.
I really have to work harder on my game, find and plug my leaks, and work hard on my mental game. Easier said than done...
Couple of fun fancy played hands of the day :
BB: €56.07
UTG: €78.12
MP: €38.50
CO: €59.54
BTN: €50.00
Hero (SB): €64.99
Hero posts SB €0.25, BB posts BB €0.50
Pre Flop: (€0.75) Hero has 6:spade: 7:heart:
fold, fold, CO raises to €1.43, fold, Hero raises to €5.36, fold, CO calls €3.93
21/15 or something reg, 53 hands, folded 100% or 4/4 to 3-bets up to that point so I figured I start exploiting him. I don't normally 3-bet such a junky hand, but for people with really high fold to 3-bets any two will do until they adjust (it was my first pot with him)
Flop: (€11.22, 2 players) K:club: 3:heart: A:club:
Hero bets €6.50, CO calls €6.50
Oh well got called, flop seems great to cbet, not giving him a lot of Ax except perhaps AJs-AQs and sometimes AK. In this spot I'm more inclined to give him a PP, especially with his high fold to 3-bet until now.
Turn: (€24.22, 2 players) T:club:
Hero checks, CO checks
River: (€24.22, 2 players) J:club:
Hero bets €20.00, fold
The plan was to give up after the flop, but he decided to show me on the turn he didn't have much of a hand, at this point I'm giving him some middle strength A or K, and I don't care if he has a Q to go with them I was pretty sure he wasn't calling without a club. I knew I had to make it big though.
Hero wins €23.01
This one is actually against a 48/21/1 fish, but he goes to SD 17% so he has to be tight on the river. Cbetting here was probably bad though
BTN: €12.50
SB: €79.15
Hero (BB): €50.00
UTG: €60.30
SB posts SB €0.25, Hero posts BB €0.50
Pre Flop: (€0.75) Hero has A:diamond: 5:diamond:
fold, BTN raises to €1.12, SB calls €0.87, Hero raises to €4.74, fold, SB calls €3.62
Flop: (€10.60, 2 players) 8:spade: 4:spade: J:diamond:
SB checks, Hero bets €6.00, SB calls €6.00
Turn: (€22.60, 2 players) 9:heart:
SB checks, Hero checks
River: (€22.60, 2 players) 7:club:
SB checks, Hero bets €16.00, fold
Hero wins €21.47
