Interesting blog, GL with the grind.

Low flushdraw + gutshot facing xr from original raiser

Pff - plenty going on in this spot. I posted some thoughts in the HH thread. I think villains x/r on the flop very hard to read - just doesn't make a lot of sense.

Proud of my redline this week! (And still running extremely good lol, but I deserve it imo because I was at least 40BI under EV last year.)

Bankroll: 1221,08$

I bought a $500 bonus with some of my market points to motivate me to play more, I have 3 months to clear it. Still had a lot of points saved up from last year because I never really bothered to use them for anything. :f_pleased:

Don't have any hands I want I judged atm so I'll just post the biggest pots of this week:

Wow, I like your red line! :f_love: I moved to NL25 recently and in 5k hands there my red line is worse than ever. Not sure why, have to make an analysis, but I feel like had alot of postflop spots where i felt like I have to fold. You play at Party Poker, right?

Yeah.

At 25NL people 3b/4b bluff a lot more so maybe it's that. It's also possible that you're getting floated a lot or not value betting thin enough or something.

I'm getting very annoyed by the $/€ value changing so much. I would have 4 buy-ins more if it would have stayed the same since the 1st of january...

They are 3betting and 4betting alot more, that's true. I'll try to find where are the problems

The same here. I believe the value of EUR will start to grow eventually, although the situation in Greece could make things even worse now (the new anti-EU government). We can only wait.

Yes! What do you beat that pots the river there after firing flop & turn? What conceivable bluffs can he have in this spot that didn't get there? QT/Q9 clubs?
I don't play NL25 and I am sure regs 3barrel more frequently but half pot flop and turn is still suggestive of a draw and the turn is ill suited to continued aggression with no equity - terrible river card. Pot bet river is jammy because you both perceive it as a good bluff card and villain plays to get over-calls from your bluff-catchers. Raise the turn?

Anyhow, interesting hand.

Yesterday something was wrong with some of the fastforward tables (25NL & 100NL) so I played some regular tables and lost about 3BI. Ran quite bad and a lot of my semi bluffs got called all in by second pairs and crap :(. Luckily some fish donked away 3 BI's in like 2 orbits to me or I would have a lost a lot more.

Today I checked to see if the problem was fixed and it was, just no huds ?(, but I played a session anyway. There were a lot less regs playing so I wouldn't mind if it takes a while to get huds working again lol. It's rare for the field to be this much softer.

Bankroll: 1625.41$

Lost a bit last week and didn't play as much because of it. It doesn't help that I don't have a HUD on fast tables anymore either. I thought it didn't work for anyone but apparently it does work for most people. So I decided to play normal tables a bit, but can only comfortably play 6 tables on my laptop screen. :(

Bankroll: 1467.80$

Stakes other than 25NL were for testing purposes.

Made some slightly loose calls but ran pretty bad overall too, shit happens I guess... Here are some hands.

Nice progress. Will definitely follow Your blog.
A question regarding hands in last spoiler: Some of the hands You shoved with FD on turn, did You include other outers, or You were hoping to hit the flushes on river? (Is there calculated value to shove on turn with the FD?)

Yeah I definitely thought I had more outs than just flushdraws and was hoping I could make weak made hands fold. I'd have to look up the math behind how much fold equity/ equity I need to make it +ev tbh, don't know it by heart.
