GL with your goals!

played a short session this morning, about 400 hands, ran pretty well,
but my PT4 beta HUD doesnt seem to be working (worked fine untill now), so i just decided to stop playing until i sort this out.

Seems like the HUD is starting up, but then nothing happens.

weirdest hand of the day:

no idea about BB's thought process lol

tired of CG for today, gonna take a stab at my first tournament

$5+0.5 Freezeout
$1250GTD

starts in 10 minutes and there is only 38 people registered so far ...

i guess im pretty much underroled for this, with only 40 BI's, but what the heck... once in a while its ok i guess

great one, lost AJ to AJs and im out
i guess ill just stick to cash games for some time now....

btw i cant believe how bad $5 tournaments players are.. you see some stuff thats just - amazing lol

10x worse competiton than NL2 cash imo

am i supposed to just shove the flop to fold his 1 card gutshot?

there is like no t's in his range.... 1 combo of 8Ts nad almost nothing else....
i even thought about shoving the river for value, maybe he could call with some weirdo 2pair hand if he is bad enough

just finished a pretty long session, about 4000 hands, didnt run good at all , but managed to still win 2BI's so thats cool

A high is good

so, BR is finally @ $200, i think im gonna take a shot at NL10 with 3 BI's.

I know PS reccomends 25+ BI's for moving up, but i think 20 is still okay right?

I dont feel like NL10 is going to be much tougher than NL5, basically i guess its the same thing.

What do you think? are there any differences between NL5 and NL10 speed?

If you are shure, you will move down accordingly. If your plan is to take shots, you must be prepaired to move up/down a lot, and every single time no matter what. If you are able to do that, it is perfectly fine.

Don't worry aboth ''skill level gap" between NL5-NL10, just play your best game, and don't think that everyone is bluffing

Well yeah... You also shouldn't have been in the hand anymore by the turn

Will be following though! Good luck with your goals! Shouldn't be too difficult to get money from the guys on iPoker

yeah it was towards the end of the session and i made a very tilted decision to call flop and shove any turn if he checks to me ♦ lol
not the brightest idea, was actually one of the greatest cards tho, cause i could rep nutflushes

I fell like i need some advice on this tho, every time someone makes a weird line, i instatly start tilting and trying to take the pot down with pure air, i just cant help it.

seeing some random guy limp - overcalling 3bets and then betting 1/4pot into me or c/minraising flops on monotone boards, i just cant give it up with my AK high and instantly start spazzing and trying to fold them with no equity

Yeah, people do crazy things. It's often pretty hard to give them a range, sometimes even almost impossible! So against those guys I tend to play pretty straightforward. Making crazy plays against them is pointless anyway.

had to end the session, this was just too much for me to handle...

so in first 20 minutes im up 3 BI's then i just start losing flip after flip, cooler after cooler, setup after setup, sets (4-5 handed) got absolutely no action, AA twice - no action,

and this hand to top it off..

fish floating me with 6 high on the flop and hitting a runner-runner straight vs my QQ, thats just too much....

thinking process of the villain:
preflop: why not, i got cards
flop: snapcall ofc, i got 6 high, backdoor 4 high FD, backdoor 1 card straight draw, backdoor 2 pair and backdoor trips
turn: better c behind, now that i hit my miracle card
river: ship the moneyzzzzzzzz

how the f***** do they do this?

vunny hand vs fish

floating 3 high on the flop OOP

my great run @ NL10 seems to continue, cooler after cooler, fish shoving 42s 30bb deep obv winning vs my AK 4/4 times, LAGtards floating flops with AK high in 4bet pots with 70% of their stack commited, obv hitting their 3 outers on the turn.... monsters never get action....
im like 1000 bi's under ev

here is 3 hands from today's session (last 100 hands), which pretty much sum it up

villain is a 42/33/20/8 1tabling LAGtard with 3bet of 20, i decide to 4bet with blockers he calls...

flop i cbet, sizing is standard i guess, turn brings me nuts, cause there is no way he floats AK on the flop, + there is no FD's in his range (AQs/AKs) he would shove the flop) so i check to induce a bet from TT-QQ which i think he is bad enough to do 100% of the time, obv call and....

how the f....ck do they float AK? trying to hit their 0-6 outers on the turn?
is this for f...cking real?
