Chess 1 min tends to put you more under pressure and make premoves. In poker you force urself to take 3 seconds for a decision - in 1min chess you should force urself to move asap. Trust me i know - I'm a chess IM.
PS - nice combination with Ne4, Ra2. well seen sir - well seen!
hehe an IM ITT! I am a FM myself.

Ok had a quick go at 200 earlier and I found that hand quite interesting:
Turn donk doesn't make a lot of sense and it seems like he is donking a lot OTT. So I called planning to hit the river or bluff

hey guys!
Long time no updates!
Looks like I was taking 200nl shots when I last updated here. Well it has been going on well overall. First i played on ipoker and then 200 zoom. Overall winrate 5.7bb/100 (EV is 2.75) after 70k hands.
However I feel like changing for a little while (I think ~ 2 weeks or so) to refresh my mind and my game.
I decided I will play some HU. The main reason is that I want to improve my blinds play in 6 max.
I will start at 100nl on PokerStars and will play only regs as the main goal is to improve my game. I am not sure how is HU nowadays and how willing to play are the regs but let's see.
I will try to update with graphs and hands regularly.
Wish me luck ♦

Thanks!
So far it seems okay. Only one that sat out before playing 1 hand (had KK fml)

Ok so I ended up playing ~350 hands today.
First 2 regs were weak then couple of regs that didnt play more than 20/30 hands and then last reg that seemed decent. I think I got some set ups.Pretty interesting
All regs opened 3x but the last one which I was a bit surprised about.
They seem somewhat aggro when I show a bit of weakness, good to know
They SD some hands sometimes like WTF.
My 3B is 23%, feels good to 3B all the time compared to 6 max and this is def cool to understand more how to play 3b pots OOP for my 6 max game.
Going to be fun if I manage to get action as I can see already that it might won't be that easy.Graph for today:

And some hands:
btw I won't post the thought process but if you wanna ask questions please do and I'll answer then. Obv I'm not HU expert so feel free to criticize my play too

Had a "long" match vs a reg (~200 hands). guy opened 95% of BU and CBet 90%. So yeah my x/r OTF was like 30% and so far he had been folded a good amount.
Until that hand happened, he snap shoved river. Not happy to see a shove over my big river bet but w/e

@2 its one of the magic moments in poker when you get called by what you assume the winning hand and then the pot slowly moves to your way and you are sitting there asking yourself "Did I really win this pot?"

yeah ♦
And @ hand 1 regarding what you said, I have some Ax in my x/calling range OTF. So in a vacuum KK should be a fold OTR imo. But I assumed he didn't know this and also that he isn't Vbetting thin OTR.
It's actually annoying me already ♦
80% of regs stop playing after 10 hands if not straight away when I sit (no idea why they don't even play few hands to see if I am a reg or not)
So yeah not sure what to do. I'm away for the next few days anyways so will see when I get back.

buy in for 90bbs and limp the first 1-2 btns. That should do the trick!

Your reputation follows you everywhere mrBlom ♠_love:
hey maritsula,
Was too tilting to find someone that would play more than 10 hands so I gave up and went back to 6 max. Sorry to disappoint you
