2nd session today Monday evening/night

Alright guys. well I decided to go deep as anything and well it paid off.

What started off slow went insanely hot, I should've kept going but distractions and life was calling me. But we had already pushed past our time anyway so that's a win.

But yeh decided to tighten up, thought smorning session I adjusted a bit too loosely from Button and CO... and then after doing so we started hitting crazy :)

The graph flattened out as well.

When you go through a harsh period just fight through it and keep as tidy as possible... eventually it turns around.


Red line was up as well.

Chilling at the zoom tables x 4 at 5NL

Alright so a change of pace from 24 tables. Been really up and down and neutral and what ive said the whole time is if we are running neutral we are just going to get tired eventually and drop.

So yep dropped to zoom tables at 5NL and did well :)

yesterday was upset since I ran 24 tables and went up $30 and lost and went downward on a nasty downfall. Anyways just changed it up and thought forget about it. And we can enjoy elsewhere and go back to 24 on the weekend.



Was nice to see A4... yesterday I kept seeing AA... nice change of speed.

This is what I was trying to get at with cash hand analysis... Sometimes a check is strong... our job is to know when or when people will overlook it.

Ive got that nasty habbit of overplaying AK post flop atm ... something i'll need to dull down a bit

Here are 2 AK hands I lost... will be posting AK hands in the next session as well just to purely focus on this and force myself to improve on.

I feel I played this hand fine since the flop was a dryboard. Cbet is warranted since opponent doesn't connect much on this and i'll bet all the same if I had AQ

Probably could double barrel on this board??? But a good player could call the turn.

Hand Z.

This is the hand that I overplayed. Probably if a single K was out there it'll be easier that villain could call 1 or 2 streets with KQ or other mistakes... other friends like Queen or Jack we do run the risk of this or 2 pairs.

Looking at it now the bet was pretty strong(high)... The aim was I thought this player would bet his draws and we could flip or get a fold. But obv I was wrong this time.

I wouldn’t worry too much about AK, it’s very hard hand to play wrong. Also given the level, every time you play it wrong, there is a case where opponent is playing it wrong against you so wrongs are crossed away.

So what do stats say, AKo massive profit or not?

Nah 5NL was easy, it's NL10 that is too difficult. Remember that number of tables alters the difficulty level. And no I have not beaten NL10 yet, still break even game last 16k hands :fight:

Have to say going better than last 5 tries, so no complains!! And diving red line is not that steep anymore :five: I recon if I stay alive next 20k hand, I might do it.

In what way did the rake change?

Havnt noticed a big change tbh... but i do notice a big diff on the weekend opposed to week..

Summer there usually means tougher. Winter there more people :) people get bored and look for entertainment.

I have noticed theres a bit more fish but still the same setmining style at 5nl lol

Post flop is usually where its at though cuz ppl either fold or call too much... still the same random spaz guy appears allin with Ace rag or pocket 6s... then the regs still tight with 4bets kk aa..

So i notice i still havr to be watchful with ak and qq

Perhaps youve changed your style more and people adjusting poorly which is a good thing

Im too busy making individual decisions rather than looking at the overall player pool... ppl generally are watching me cuz im aggro not the other way and thats fine.

Altho taking a lil break now and im being passive at 24/17... calling alot more pre and betting less and playin a bit more postflop which is fun

Got a table about 20 dollars on 5nl zoom and another around 14... and 2 others 7 and 8.

Hoping for some nice wins

got a ticket to the 10k freeroll :) might try and use it tomorrow.

actually might talk to the wife and see if I can play a few freeroll 2morrow afternoon. Definetly would love to bink 1... and if I win the 10k I could outdo my previous record tournament win online at $996 which was the blowfish at 888

1st is 1500 which would definetly be nice.

Will go to sleep early now and try and play some SNG tomorrow and get use to stealing blinds :)

There's nothing wrong with these hands Imo
During my time off I was going over some of John A's training material.
He goes through AK in 4bet pots and shows it is +EV to just shove most flops when you are out of position when someone just flats your 4bet.
Competent players should usually only be flatting 4bet at 100bb with 99-QQ and AQs AK. If you plug that range in on most ragged boards a lot of the range folds the flop to a shove. Your fold equity plus your chances of hitting an overcard make the shove profitable.
Here you were unlucky to run into QQ but you were never folding anyway. I have shoved in this spot on at least 6 occasions and the opponent has folded every time once flashing JJ on an under card board.

Top score of league with someone out

Next week that guy out is in and unfortunately another is facing suspension ugh.

Next week im facing bottom of the league so 1 or 2 out makes no difference. But after next week its finals and i hope my team stays on the field

My team hit a quiet 2 or 3 weeks but now the players are bouncing back just at the right time. Anxiously have to wait to see what the other guys in the league are going to answer with but if i keep scoring this good and have all players on... it wont matter what they do

Currently 2nd on ladder now and itll stay that way

Any problem calling this on flop?... I always think in the back of my head I should always be the one shoving so we can account for folds.

But when theres 2 other people... then its a call? I guess according to odds it is but as long as theres no short stackers.

Arr this one was a bit stupid... guys at micros never bluff at this spot. It's just they aren't creative enough and actually all levels this wouldn't be a bluff spot unless you had a very good read.

Not liking the call here bud. Poker is a game of information and you should be checking to the raiser to glean information. When you lead out blind into 2 players you have no clue as to what you are facing. You also need to be doing the basic rule of 4&2 math here as to whether you are making a profitable call. The BB is overpair heavy in this spot so you are probably going to have to spike the open ender to win against both of them. a 7 might be dirty and you don't want the board to pair either.
It's 1.67 to call and the pot is 3.96 so it's 2.4 to 1 nowhere near your needed 8x4 outs of 32%.

Double barrelling with the nut flush draw is fine. You have the option to check the turn once you have showdown value with 2nd pair but I'd prefer checking if we weren't drawing to the nut flush. Turn raise on that board is pretty strong move and not much else you can do. He's tight as so is going to be snapping off a turn shove nearly always. I'd consider shoving the turn against some players but not against this guy.

Ah2h
WTF are you both doing in this hand!!?. A2 is a light 3bet steal, if he 4bets then I 5bet shove or fold normally the latter especially at these stakes but there is some latitude for a shove preflop as it's zoom madness and he's clearly marked as an aggro monkey.
Even so I'm never flatting a hand as weak as A2 in a 4bet pot without the initiative. Most players 4bet bluffing range is stronger than A2.
His turn sizing is really weak but it's still difficult to see anything worse calling your shove and you have virtually no fold equity in this spot you may as well have just called it down and let him bluff it all off. Unlucky for you he hit his hand.
High variance.
