I suppose I can find a fold but I guess it was run good tilt (hands are in opposite order). I'm always raising the donk bet but calling the shove is bad. Looking back players here don't really get aggro with draws. I figured anyone who calls in the small blind is probably bad too, maybe that affected it.

Let's analyse it now.

Opponent: 24/18.6 over 131 hands. 3-bet: 5.9, Sq: 10%, Agg: 5.00/37.3%, 50% OTF. 1.06 positional awareness.

He definately has pairs in his range, the biggest broadways too, AQ, KQ but maybe not AK.

On the flop the only hands that will ever shove for value are 44, KQ, maybe AK but unlikely to have that. AQ if he's really bad but I don't think he was. Could he call QQ there?

Bluffs includes nut flush draws, probably just AQs tbh.

Yeah it's bad, I got AA happy.

Well, this is June for me, it started and finished early, playing live tomorrow night and working (at long last) Wednesday.

With exams finished, I changed skin for a better deal anticipating more table time and set some goals to put in my first proper volume stint - Original goals:

30k Hands
Show a profit

Revised Goals:

60k Hands

Didn't quite meet the hand quota, but nearly 45000 hands in a month would have been unthinkable this time last year (Especially considering I was then 4 tabling SnGs! zzzzzz). I think the world cup and possible grinding days being written off by a previous evenings heavy drinking saw to the 60k not being hit, however...

I continued my form from my steady 30k hands from the beginning of the year and have beat NL10 20 at a combined 6.5bb/100 overall for the year so far 63k sample. Took the jump to NL50 (circa 33k hand mark on June graph), and nearly aborted it as soon as it began, I was one buy in away from chucking in the towel, I finish the month having played 12000 Hands of NL50 and having a winrate of 3.66bb/100, albeit I feel like a bit of a fish on a heater at this level having ran 9BI above EV. Add a slab of sign up bonus and it all equates to an amazing month for me! Here's to hoping busto does not ensue !!!

Just got back into the green. The month once again started out great, but the hammer fell and hit me down about to about -7 buy-ins. Spent the rest of the month zig-zagging back. All was in Crack Poker(I know I said I was going to quit, but it's so much fun *denial*). At least when I add-in rakeback I made at least something of a profit, but nothing to go crazy about. Might go back to multi-tabling next month.

One thing that drives me nuts about All-in EV... Just about every one of my big dips in AIEV is from when I got it all-in preflop with AA or KK. I have never understood how this can come out to -EV as, at least with AA, it is the best possible scenario for you because you have the best possible preflop hand. That's my rant on math...

After grinding for a month online, play live and feel like it's a complete waste of time, I see maybe a couple hundred hands tops, stack KK vs 55 on the turn folded to me on the button I raise both blinds call, flop is 5xx with flush and straight draws, villain check/calls and donks blank turn, I raise villain shoves I call, can't see how I fold there given the board?

Secondly I open KQs from MP, get 3 callers (HJ, BTN and SB), flop is KQT 2 spades, SB donks 1/3 pot, I pot, HJ folds, BTN flats, SB Shoves. You can't possibly fold top two to a sb donk and shove when they cold call pre, I overshove BTN calls, blank turn and river SB shows AJo for broadway and BTN announces a flush draw with a queen, FML.

I could have taken a couple buy in swong at the beginning of a session online and possibly recuperated my loss into a profit by the time 2000 hands have passed, meh, hate to say it but I want become a 'rakeback nit' and curl up in my own little world! :p

Well say for example you get 2 $10 stacks in AA vs KK, roughly 4:1 to win pre flop when the chips go in, therefore if you run this a bazillion times you expect to win $16 in the long run. When you're hand holds up one time you win $20. This is +$4 from your expected value and will appear as -$4 on your EV graph.

So when I move up the games seem so much tighter and unprofitable. Like I literally played for days without finding people that would stack off light at 10NL. I don't know what to do.

Yea, I know how it's calculated, I was just ranting that my graph looked like (even more) crap because of it. And I happened to be at the low end of the majority of the time this month as well, so hopefully statistically, next month my AA(specifically) and KK will be doing better.

Actually from the look of your graph you're running $21 better than expected.
