As long as you don't fold, you'll win. Doesn't matter if you are dominated. And you'll hit in the way I lose more.

One question on the second hand. When he raised you, what hands did you put him on? That is a big raise.

One question on the second hand. When he raised you, what hands did you put him on? That is a big raise.

Mainly AJ. Possible AT/AQ, QTs/KJs.
But my play was much oriented against possible AJ. I didn't even dislike the 3rd 9 at first, as it would make for a split against AJ, although it made me lose EV against other Aces.

Ty a lot.

This month isn't going great. The shots at NL25 shown I'm not yet ready for it (scared money, stupid moves, some tilted hands - wouldn't have gone in tilt if was more used to the € involved), so after a couple of losing sessions I've returned to NL10. Although my BR can accommodate the losses, it was mainly bad play, that I prefer to correct in an environment I am more comfortable on (NL10).

GL @ the tables.

"Only 3 BI down"

I must be getting very good at this game. So good PStars can't allow me to win.
Context: Because of the ridiculously small pool I have to play regular tables, I once again dived into zoom. And I am getting better (not to say good at it), as long as sessions like this stop.

Today's session. Not different from the overall month.

AK vs AA: 3x.
This was my favourite. I didn't ven push PF, as I the only times I had action with AK PF was against AA:

But that's not how you upset me when I hold QQ. This is how you upset me:

Now, add to that AA being cracked by 97, AK cracked by 55, T9 flush losing to 53 FH ... the usual ones. I'm actually proud of me for keeping a good game through this session.

I think the last 1/2BR withdraw won't be the last in short time, if PS keeps treating me this good.

Sorry for the mimimi.

GL @the tables.

P.S. Thought I'd share this next hand so you can see I continue to know one or two thing on the game:

Spoiler

Villain is know to me as one of the best stations in the limit. Sadly, couple of hands later in another table, he was the one with AA against my KK. No way I would fold KK, even for him.

I entered February and my game was kind of stagnating, so I decided to buy access to the course From The Ground Up. Very worth, imo.

I like Pete his YouTube videos and i was considering buying this course on RIO. It's decided then :-)

I love that!
Although it is the best unpaired hand, it is still just an unsuited connector! (OK, it might be suited, but still...)
