Good luck with your challenge :gl:
I think you should also post some hands to our NLHE hand discussion board.
This way you could improve you're game
All-in EV is bad as well on the moment.

Cheers,

Are you doing the bankroll challenge as well?
Nice of you to run it twice. I keep track of who I let RIT, and if ever one of them does not allow it back, they never get allowed again.

I rarely ask for RIT, but if someone does, I allow it.

I got one of those once — and a high-hand jackpot with a straight flush. My memory says that it happened on stream, but who knows.

If I'm not mistaken, you also get an entry to a "GGCares" flipout. Is that still a thing?

good to know — I might play on GG again one day. Right now I just play the daily freebies.

There is a daily freebie on Party as well, and several on 888.

More equity than I thought you had.

Nice result — was this entry a result of a bad beat or a great hand?

I wonder to what extent have such an "escape route" encourages more adventurous play.
It's nice to know it's there though

You calculated it? Should be around 30% on the turn right? 9 outs for spades, 2 jacks, 3 tens, makes a total of 14 outs, times a little over 2 = 30%

Edit: wait, I'm replying to a really old post it seems.. shouldn't be on PokerStrategy at work too much. :f_grin:

Or at all?

How big is a big pot? That one is 305 BB — what's the cutoff?

Typical GGPoker. I love their software, I despise their lack of transparency/openness

The extra money they add is really good. Also got 25 cash dollars a couple of times in those all-in games. Keep up the good work, you're going strong.

Hi, good luck into your challenge, by the look of it you are on the right track. :f_drink:

I was reading your blog and I'm a bit confused on why did you decided to cash out in this hand ( I don't play cash games no more but I'm curios ) ?

Good idea.
I might hang on to this one, but with that reasoning, I think (hope) I would cash out also

As long as you can say that you played good poker these hands should not concern you, since in the longrun its way +EV. If nessessary go with a tighter Bankrollmanagement. ;)

Followed — I have the funny feeling that your streaming times won't exactly match my watching times though

What Range to you give your Opponent when he is Raise/Call in MP?
Why do you Bet the Turn? You play OoP and only have a Gutshow and 2 Overcards, and against his range maybe only your Gutshot-Outs a good.
