Interesting hand from today's session:

iPoker - €0.50 NL - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

CO: €43.75
Hero (BTN): €106.14
SB: €99.96
BB: €56.82
UTG: €57.72 From EP: VP:17/PR:17/CBet:64%/WTSD:28
MP: €5.24

SB posts SB €0.25, BB posts BB €0.50

Pre Flop: (€0.75) Hero has J♦ T♦

UTG raises to €1.75, fold, fold, Hero calls €1.75, fold, fold

Flop: (€4.25, 2 players) 3♦ 7♦ 9♠
UTG bets €3.00, Hero calls €3.00

Turn: (€10.25, 2 players) T♣
UTG bets €7.00, Hero raises to €18.00, UTG raises to €52.97, fold

Villain is a NL100/200 player.

On the flop IP w GS + FD I call. When he bets turn I think he has overpair JJ+ or set. I thought I would make overpair fold here by raising and also have a decent equity if I get called. When he shoves he has set 100% I think.

I probably should have played passively on turn

Anyone has series to recommend?

I am getting pissed off with myself not thinking in ranges! Here is another example:

iPoker - $0.50 NL - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

Hero (SB): $104.67
BB: $52.05
UTG: $75.24
CO: $51.74
BTN: $148.26

Hero posts SB $0.25, BB posts BB $0.50

Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero has 6♥ 6♠

UTG raises to $1.50, fold, fold, Hero calls $1.25, fold

Flop: ($3.50, 2 players) Q♦ 6♣ J♠
Hero checks, UTG bets $3.00, Hero raises to $8.00, UTG calls $5.00

Turn: ($19.50, 2 players) 8♠
Hero bets $14.00, UTG raises to $34.50, Hero calls $20.50

River: ($88.50, 2 players) T♣
Hero checks, UTG bets $31.24, Hero calls $31.24

Villain is VP:15/PR:10 kind of nit.

What does he have when he raises the turn? JJ or QQ 100%. If I had thought for 3 secs about his range I would have sparred 100bb.

Unconventional Wisdom

Downloading it. Isn't it a bit out of date? early 2008

Was off work today so I managed to put some nice volume. about 1400 hands.

I started the day by spewing 120 bb, couldnt fold an overpair like a donk :(.

went ok overall but I am realizing that I go for thin value bets sometimes on river etc...and besides I spew 120bb! such a fish!

btw how do I make the link in my signature a real link?

Sunday update:

For the first time in a while I had to stop playing because I really felt I was tilting. And my blog is the perfect place to share it. So here it is:

Below is my graph from yesterday and I have a 3BI's stop loss rule where I need to take a break and assess wether I am able to keep playing which wasn't the case yesterday despite the short session (happened to me only on few occasions).

Below are the main hands of the session by chronological order.

Most of them happened on a pretty aggro table. I had position on a fish (2nd seat on my right) but the 2 on my left were aggro, 3B my iso raises etc.

Flop: (€5.75, 2 players) 4♠ 8♦ Q♦

Turn: (€21.75, 2 players) 7♣
MP bets €8.00, Hero calls €8.00

River: (€37.75, 2 players) 9♥
MP bets €32.30, fold

Despite his VP and PR stats he is somehow a bit aggro. So folding on flop or turn looked weak to me and I wanted to call him down especially with his smallish bets until he pot bet river. I wonder if I should still call that river bet

River: (€38.00, 2 players) J♥

He had 3B me quite a lot with BTN guy . I started adjusting by 4B light after this hand(3 times that all worked out).

I should have 4B pre.
Since he is aggro I decided to call him down 3 streets because he can be drawing and the J on river is a good card.

B/F on turn? Can he do this with 1 pair w 1 heart or JJ?
I think this is a pretty bad mistake from me, should have folded it.

Hand just after hand #3

BB: €113.56
UTG: €105.54 VP:23/PR:19/WTSD:27/AF(F,T,R):4.58,2.55,1.58/CBet:70

SB posts SB €0.25, BB posts BB €0.50

Pre Flop: (€0.75) Hero has A♣ A♥

UTG raises to €1.50, Hero calls €1.50, CO calls €1.50, fold, fold, BB calls €1.00

UTG bets €12.50, Hero calls €12.50

River: (€41.25, 2 players) T♥
UTG bets €31.50, Hero calls €31.00

I flat pre because I thought that CO or BU would 3B 100%. But not this time...
I don't 3b flop because his CBet looks strong into 4 so I think I would iso myself against better hands.

#5

River: (€29.00, 2 players) J♠
Hero checks, BTN bets €14.50, Hero calls €14.50

Again since he is aggro I decided to C/C turn and river to let him value town himself.

And finally on another table (which I think was the hand that made me tilt a bit just before hand #5):

Turn: (€61.75, 2 players) J♣
CO checks, Hero bets €40.00, CO calls €39.72

River: (€141.19, 2 players) 8♣

I nearly timed out so the 5B is weird looking
Then I think that's a cooler?
He had:

#1 looks like he's trying to induce on early streets, well played imo
#2 Here would like to know his 3b % specifically from SB/blinds vs a steal, cause 8% in general isn't out of line, pretty much value range and it's a really dry flop, so doubt he's barreling off with overcards there too often.
#3 b/f without Q / b/c with the Q
#4 -
#5 he hit his 3outer, huh ?
#6 hit a miracle, nothin u can do there

Ye in that case he isn't 3b bluffing almost at all, moostly pure value range

I mean, all you beat is 22/55/66 and A-high, which most likely doesn't 3 barrel on that board, and even if he did, t here are still way more hands that beat you in his overall range.

PM if you interested in some sweat sessions. Winning at 30bb/100 at 100nl.

I find 50nl alot tougher to beat than 100nl btw, it's so nitty, fish with 10$ limping buttons etc. Take an aggresive stance to your BR and move up maybe?

I watched the first episode of the red grind by Grindcore and the red line was on my list.

I moved up to NL 50 with aggro BRM. Will move up to NL 100 when I have 25BI BR (2500$).
