15th day of playing
Result at NL5= 30$
Battle range of the day

The day with best winrate so far, in 2 sessions!

Spoiler

First session Played 1 table most of the time and always sat IP, 1- 2 seats from the fish.
Second session played 4 tables with fish in my left. Result was great!
Noticed player called Jack_vrc he is 59/7 but with WTSD 25%. He is not a bad player except preflop.
he does bet river as a bluff (full pot)
he bets medium pairs on river (half pot)
he bets medium size ,a stronger hand (in bigger pot, makes sure i call)

16th day of playing
Results at NL5 = 23$
Battle range of the day
Don't know why but i am searching a bit to find tables with fish at NL5. And some with vpip >40 are not bad postflop.

Spoiler

First session i played and ran good.
Second session i made a few mistakes and also ran bad.
Third session i didnt find fish at NL5 so i ended up playing 1 table NL10 and had a +ev "flip" AK vs 83s and won 1 stack.

Also participated in a live coach session with w34z3l. Still not multitabling, 1-2 tables.

Hi bonecore, goodluck with your objectives. There is a specific reason why you are not multitabling?

yes, i lose most of the time so lately i start 1 table and while i focus on that table, i table select for fishes to have position on. Focus just on one table, until i get at least 2 tables with fishes. I think it should be more fishes at NL5 6max. Guess all are playing zoom ?(

Hey man! Good luck, I'll follow you!

I have an advice for you based on my experience. Forget trying to reach certain winrate (you said you want to have 20 bb/100 at NL5). Besides the fact I think it's hardly possible (I wont say impossible) to have that winrate even at NL5, I think you are putting too much pressure on yourself by setting goals like that. Plus, we don't really have a full control of our results because of the variance etc. For example, I started to set the goals I have full control of, like - increasing my BB Cold Call from 18 to 25, or increasing my flop cbet from 55 to 65. In the process of learning how to achieve those things, you don't put too much pressure on yourself and you are improving your game. I think that we really need to focus just on our game. That's only important. The results will naturally come.

Again, good luck and see you arround! :f_drink:

That is very very true. Pressure made my worst day -12buyins and 3 more bad days.
Also i added multi-tabling to compensate my loss but it made it much worse.

Iso-raising range adjustments principles
TIGHTEN UP YOUR RANGE
When postflop expectation is low( we encounter difficulties in stealing postflop)
VS shortstack (not much fold equity because Stack to pot ratio is small)
VS not nitty enough opp(low Fold to steal%. low fold to Cbet, WTSD>25)
VS aggressive opp(high 3bet%, high Cbet%)
LOOSEN UP YOUR RANGE
When postflop expectation is high ( we have a good chance to steal postflop)
VS deepstacks, especially if they have a strong range(we got implied odds)
VS too nitty opp(high Fold to steal%. high fold to Cbet, WTSD<25)
VS passive opp (low 3bet%, low Cbet%)
OBS:when raising purely for isolation vs a player that never folds top pair hands postflop

ORFI Exploitative Size adjustments
RAISE LARGER when postflop expectection is high - (eg. opp has high Fold to Cbet)
RAISE SMALLER when postflop expectations are low
(eg. when stealing from shortstacks or aggro 3betters or when raising purely for iso vs a player that never folds TopPair postflop)

Reasons to cold call preflop
-when it is +EV (equity>pot odds)
-when postflop expectation is high
-to play vs players that that never fold TopPair postflop
-to play vs deepstacks that have a tight range (implied odds are high)
OBS: Always ask yourself "Is my equity realizable?"

Constructing 3bet ranges
-As a general rule 3bet 25% of villain OR% (25% is a multiplier between 15-35% ,dependent on villain skills)
-When constructing 3bet ranges, our ratio between bluff range and total 3bet range should be exactly villain's Fold to 3bet%
-This means if villain Folds to 3bet=80% then we should 3bet bluff 80% and 3bet value 20%.
-3bet bluff range should be the best hands we are folding

17th day of playing
Result at NL5= 50$
Battle range of the day

The day with highest profit at NL5 in 4 sessions
The nicest thing is that i played 12 tables on my last session :f_pleased: Notice VPIP and PFR


This bumped my winrate this week to +20bb/100h
Can i maintain it 2 more days until Monday ?

Spoiler

Better not play saturday and sunday to keep my winrate for this week.
And also because my expectations are too high (1 week ago, day 7 i won 40$ and 8th day lost 60$ at NL5).

High Fold to Cbet exploit (optimal FtCbet=40% but usually players have 55% - say's w34z3l)
passive exploit - check back flops to induce a bluff or to get called lighter on a later street
aggressive exploit - Fold equity for a 3/4 pot bet = 0.75/1.75=43%. If FtCbet>50% then bet ,as we are printing money.

Exploit Fit or fold (high Fold to Flop Cbet, low Fold to Turn Cbet) eg. FtoFCbet>40%
passive exploit - check back flops to induce a bluff or to get called lighter on a later street
aggressive exploit - loosen up your range to play a few more pots vs them

Exploit floaters (Low FtoFCbet, high FtoTCbet) eg.FtoFCbet<40% and FtTCbet>60% is a floater
passive exploit - tighten up so you can hit more flops so you can X/C Turn.
aggressive exploit - X/R turn or double barrel

High Cbet exploit
passive exploit - tighten up so you can hit more flops so you can call more Cbets
aggressive exploit - raise flops or float

High double barrel exploit
passive exploit - tighten up so you can hit more flops so you can call more Cbets
aggressive exploit - raise turn or float flop+turn

w34z3l's player type color coding
yellow - shortstacks, green - fish , margenta - very bad fish, red - reg, orange - nit, cyan - aggro preflop, blue dark - very good

High WTSD exploit
WTSD is dependent on VPIP. 25% is optimal for a 22 vpip. 20% can be optimal for a 45 vpip. Higher than 30% usually calls too much

Hey man, maybe you can try adding up tables gradually until you find a number where you feel confortable. For me is around 6 or 8. More my game gets significantly worst. But at the beginning even 6 were too much.
Again good luck at the tables!!

Yes. Now I will start 1 tabling again. Thanks for feedback.
My game got so bad after that good day. I don't have ideas now. Enough of dying trying for today:)

19th day of playing
Result at NL5= +3$

Spoiler

Played one session and i played it ok. Lost from fishes and won from regs.
Made 5bet all in with TT,AK for value vs a guy that had high 4bet%. He folded, and i was probably ahead.
Didnt find the fold button once....
And once i had a missread. I was powning on a guy by betting full pot 4 hands in a row or more.
Was raising his limp and then powning him. Funny i always had a piece of pot.
So i hit top pair and bet relentlessly thinking that he will tilt and make mistakes. So he raised turn. I shoved and he called with K♦:3♣: ,flop was 3♦:3♥:J♠:

Any thought, plan or goal held continuosly in the conscious mind will be brought into our lives, into our experience and into our reality, weather positive or negative. This is why we should imagine only what we desire to come into our lives.
The only question is do you have the discipline ,the control ,the perseverence ,the persistence and determination to HOLD your goal, ambition or aspiration clearly in your mind long enough for it to come into reality.
