Coolers gone in my favor? Maybe one or two. A high flush over K high flush, but it's the deep-stacked reg's fault for paying off a 5x river check-raise against a river 2x overbet when the BDFD completed in a spot no one is ever
bluffing or doesn't have the nuts. KK vs AA sucked out. And I did get sucked out on a decent amount of time, so I'm not running super hot. Lost 2 70/30 back-to-back in 10 minutes two nights ago, and got one-outered yesterday among some hands. Yeah, I know it's a multiple of my winrate and is not my true winrate. Thanks, I might need the luck.
Iplay, I track my games individually and calculate my bb/100 after each game. I play 700 hands per hour, and I estimate how many sessions/hours I've played.
I don't always float there. I had a pretty good idea that I could get him off his hand, and I had a BDSD and 95% of the time two live overs that I'm checking if I hit. Of course I'm never floating hands like 76s there with 0 equity there. That is spew. I didn't really float with air; I probably had like 20-25% equity against his range I didn't say this hand in particular was my A+ game. I just posted that hand for the lols because I found it amusing. Should have stated so.
I bluff-catched in many crucial pots where I might have folded before, and made a lot of good reads on bluff-raising certain spots too. Made very few bad hero calls too. Most of my bluff-raises got through, which is something I spewed with occasionally. Shutting down after bluff-raising instead of spewing into capped ranges that I would hope to fold, reading ranges better, etc. Not cold-calling in the blinds with speculative hands/weak sooted aces/medium SCs. And I do know that being on a heater does not mean I played great. I know I played well, and that helped contribute to my heater. During my downswing, my head was messed up a bit. Like Bitowl said, I was spooked at times, and I didn't make as good reads/make moves on my opponents at the right time. And I stopped making spewy plays that I made during my downswing/before my downswing. Took some time off and thought about some of my leaks, and did a pretty good job of not making the same mistakes not just during my downswing but in general.
Not sure what you mean by being results oriented in the hand analysis forum, since most of the time results aren't even posted. I try to be objective as possible, and if there are results, I reply before seeing the results.
I plan to get a HUD once my BR builds up. I don't know what will happen in the future, and I don't want to spend $150+ on these programs to just end up quitting/withdrawing. Poker is a tough game mentally. I think we can both relate. I don't imagine it'd help my game that much anyway. I'd mainly use it for the HUD to see other players' stats on the cash game. I review hands constantly while I'm playing using the hand replayer.
I actually used it for some time on a trial and followed some suggestions in their leakbuster, but it made me lose more money than my overall strategy. Like 3-betting more from blinds, like way more. But you can't profitably do that in Zone if the players, who are pretty strong, are super aggro and try to outplay you IP with garbage with 76s/PP/suited broadways/suited aces. Opening up even more in EP/MP. Tried that. Was terrible. My CO/BTN are fine.
