just had quite a long convo with switch about the maths side of poker and tbh I never really calculate or work out any math decisions when playing. I dont know what the odds are if hitting flushes with 1 card to come etc are and I dont understand ranges and assign people ranges enough so I am going to have some "focus" sessions where i play 4/6 tables for an hour maybe do this twice a day to try and get my brain thinking about decisions etc and trying to work out why im doing things.
going to start with looking at outs and pot odds like what can i call to be profitable and ranges in pokerstove to try and help me put villians on a range!

GL all!
May ended up being so-so after experimenting too much/fps... But overall, a satisfying month from a learning perspective, thanks to you guys.
Signed up with stox, need to stay focused and not waste the investment - too easy to just start sessions when I sit at the computer...
I tried two sessions of FR yesterday (25NL and 50NL), only 700 hands. Hadn't tried FR since switching to 6max in February. It looked to me on this very limited sample like playing 6max, with the jacked up aggression and emphasis on positional play, gave me a bit of an edge esp. at 25NL, where it looked to me like most players didn't know what to do in response (while I was running 22/18 on a 25NL table, a reg (I think) called my 4bet pf and my flop shove with K9o on a 972r board - yes, I had an overpair that held up - wheee!!!).
I got the feeling there are a greater proportion of noob/casual fish:regs in FR? Like I say, the sample size was small - but it's getting rare for me to find tables at 50NL6max where there aren't at least two solid regs on the table, and I think very few of the players I played in FR were regs...
Unfortunately, I forgot how boring FR is compared to 6max (just IMO, no offense )... but I think I could increase the number of tables for FR over my 6tabling for 6max ... but I tile tables and never got comfortable with cascading ... meh...

Good gracious. If you are a winning player without using even concepts as basic as odds to improve, and pot odds, you ought to be a serious force once you begin using them , and adjust to your new info.

Not a horrible start to the month.
8 games @ FT $12 games = 3 3rd's (suck)
4 games @ PS $16 games = 1 1st & 2 2nd's (weeeeee)
Overall up about $50 for that session
Going back to watch some motr training videos before I start again

no seriously I never make calculations like umm Im getting 4 to 1 here so thats fine to call or thats a fold I just roughly think hmm 3/4 pot ill fold or 1/3 pot thats a call and I dont ever calculate outs specifically or know how many outs I have so I mean I could be missing alot of value in my game aswell and folding to much postflop.
I am learning away just looking at outs/pot odds

That's because you WERE a huge nit and you don't need to calculate odds to know if you have the nuts or not. Now that you're opening up a little you need to figure these things out because you won't have the nuts quite so often.
Meant to ask earlier, I know you're stealing more based on Zach's advice but are you opening for a min raise like he does?

This is the probably the most accurate statement about my run of late and im struggling tbh! I am on like a 15/16 BI downswing and am starting to question if I can actually beat 50nl and really am considering moving back down to 25nl. I dont know if its just me trying to adapt to opening up etc but I just am unsure if I can beat 50nl, Im winning at 0.32BB/100 over like 85k hands now, but I am on a d/swing atm and its not fun and get all these kinda thoughts going through my head.
I 3x to open from all positions btw
Also look in the HA need some help

Why dont you give us a little insight, start some talk about it. God knows my deep play is probably horrible. And the only place I've heard of SPR is in Professional No limit Holdem and i havent bought it since i lost it like 2 years ago before i knew much about poker at all.

This is your starting raise amount, correct? I think you can make it 3.5/4 and still get roughly the same callers.
