[SOUR WARNING]Lemon's blog

I have a podcast I did back in March at Polish Winter Cup coming - I hope my friend let's me release in without cutting things out.

It's about private games, degens, Tom Dwan and him being asked for ptotection money by a Gypsy King after he won big in his game.

And I will release Limons podcast after I bleep it and level out sound - somehow this hosting and private games world fascinates me, that and streaming are where the big money are made in poker. I wonder if I can get under 100 bleeps in that one ♦ man is a legend but he has been banned on twitter 4 times now, twoplustwo 7 times, reddit 3 times and there's a much longer list ♦

ADHD SHORTS ALGORHYTHM HAND VIDEO

Hand analysis from the 13.5k Vegas 18 man SnG
This is winner takes all - we play chipev Ranges

PREFLOP
A♣:J♠: in SMALL BLIND
CO - Mielon I met a few times

I had a TIGHT PUBG PRO who won the whole thing eventually to my left in BB, I didn't expect to be 3bet often enough so opted for the call.

It's a mix in Wizard ranges at 100 BB - not used to it, seems fine

FLOP
9♣:8♦:5♠:T♦:K♦:
He bets under 1/2 pot. I do have some backdoors but the main reason why I called was
1) Great board for my range, I can turn it into a bluff later
2) This is my strongest Ahi as I'd (incorrectly) 3bet AQ+

I would (incorrectly) 3bet all AQ+, so I decided to check call. Mielon is on the looser side - it's a mix in wizard, I think call is fine

TURN
CHECK/CHECK
RIVER
It was going time obviously I knew I should have overbet

Best bluffing combos are ones with a diamond (naturally) and we are just meant to overbet to 300% pot with QJo plus
This combo is bet mostly as a BLOCKBET
And we bet it along with Tx etc.

Opponent's reaction
- we fold out AQ, some pocket pairs even 9x - it didn't occur to me to be really that small, what worse is folding? Turns out yeah, there are a good amount of combos and we don't face River Bet as often, put pressure on him instead of the other way around. Bloody cool bruv:)

Oh yeah, and he's supposed to fold his combo, dammit Mielon ♦

I got message from KKpoker that the tourney was running, i opened it, i had already lost, you were 5/5 on final table and busted out Ax vs 98 SB vs BB. You left 0.7 BB behind when making the push but called the shove and lost.

Yeah, that was a tough loss - but such is poker

Thank you so much for tuning in! Hope isn't lost though, there's a bunch of satties running for more packages

I did get a token in the freeroll that runs around the clock - you get a chance to win minimum $1 up to the package outright, fingers crossed.

I actually lost KK vs A6 when in 10th, but top 10 get the token, top prize was $29 so it almost doesn't matter, I got what I wanted.

I usually dick around in these freerolls, but after I grinded for 7 hours straight with max focus for the $1500 3rd place I just tried hard out of habit in this one too and it worked out ♦

That's really the only way you can get better at anything - try, get experiences, screw up, learn, build habits.

I was like down a stack again in NL2 today - big stakes compared to FL.04 - but then won like +3stacks in few hands. The amount of big mistakes that some people make is making it profitable to continue playing...

At the moment I cannot imagine playing a 7hour tourney, I have two small kids that I need to spend hours with every day and yesterday I woke up 3am, today 5am... sleeping problems... would be so happy to get some sleep, any sleep Can't risk taking part of a big tourney at the moment, so afraid I mess up and don't have sleep again for no reason

Well the good news about tourneys is - once it gets to 4+ hours in the faster ones you are already in the money and get to fight to make even more - it was exhausting and I am still feeling it couple days later, but at least you always get cash when you play long

45man Sit and Gos is a nice option that take maximum 2+ hours...

Yeah for sure! Good way to practice

Private poker games - are they like Molly's Game the movie, or is the truth more boring? How do they work in Europe? I travelled to Slovakia to find out - Premieres 16:00 UTC/18:00 CET

In Rozvadov I will interview Scarmak3r who 5 years ago turned $5.5 into $1,364,687 in party millions online
- He is a crusher, who had multiple big scores online last 6 months, and a Sunrun at EPT Paris this year too.

it's very impressive to stay relevant and motivated after such a gigantic bink online - he had $2,600 in winnings before his Party Millions 3rd place, yet here he is, crushing it 5 years later on all fronts.

I will try to find out all about MTT Strategy and his ballsy bluffs, and long-run motivation tips - the podcast will be in our video section!

WCOOP last October $50,000+ Win through a deal

ONE post on two plus two

and was on Joeingram's show

You wouldn't believe how much effort went into the production of this:
https://www.pokerstrategy.com/video/54168/

I am grateful for anyone watching, commenting, etc. Blaž Žerjav is a total crusher, you can tell from just hearing him talk about the game. I think the biggest standout is that even though he is straight buying into $10k tournaments he still throws in $2 MTTs online weekly without flinching - just loving the game is what makes you successful really, and was the only path for someone with $2k in their roll binking $1.3+ million and actually doubling down, studying and grinding and becoming much more than a score like that

Let's go! I lasted the longest out of all the invites yesterday JJ < QTo though - you can take me out tonight

Honestly, this package is just perfect - you get in it a 1K EUR stack in a streamed cash game - Remember the Big Game? One Loose Cannon got a $100k stack, he kept the profit? Something like that. I have now read 4books on MTTs, have done a lot of preflop studying in Wizard, got coaching from Barry - BUT - all my high-stakes friends are cash gamers, when they do session reviews I just tune in and get epic coaching in effect, I work on the cash game guide, and with that, all the videos I make there's not been a big period where I grinded and studied MTTs yet. So getting into this would be damn epic:

And so can you, TOP10 in these 4 remaining freerolls +10 each who bust an invite go into final freeroll for the VIP package that has the cash game stack in

Hey guys, I need a big favour - like, comment on YouTube on my new format PoV poker vlog so we beat the YouTube Robots

It caught me off guard! It really didn't make much sense and my spidey senses were tingling - but I just didn't give enough credit to an older live MTT play to bluff with that line enough - well played to the opponent indeed

The solvers prefer to bluff lower pairs that unblock my weak hands more but if I will overfold like every time instead of calling sometimes he just destroyed me!

Here we go, another Live event. This time the KK Poker's Bratislava Poker Festival - I'll be playing the 700EUR main event.

Last time I brutally bubbled, being well ahead in 3 hands in a row preflop, and my Hendon is still blank - damn.

The main thing I will focus on is Dara O'Kearney you all know I assume - we will do a video for our strategy section!

Besides that I will play the cash game satties every day (you play a tourney for a cash game stack :)), try to score in the Beer Pong, Ping Pong and foosball tournaments (they are for actual cash prizes 🤣)

And have a bunch of shorts planned. Like when people complain about GTO Wizard at the tables to have an actual wizard hiding under the table

Good luck in Bratislava and lets hope you cash this time, I bet people will be looking to c/r you with a pocket pair again lol.
