This is How Winners are made! zoooom

Hello

So before my last session i looked up some strategy and found some stuff about how winrates of Good/crushing regs also depends on how good they exploit the fish. Everybody knows how to play +EV against them, but MaxEV they don't.
So i thought alot further in the spots vs fish than i usually do.

Made 1 bluffshove in the blinds at~h380 with 66, where the aggro reg needed to have AA, bit unlucky timing.

Spot i ment, normally i would just bet big here, but wouldn't really think about overshoving as i did. he almost always has Qx here and guess this big fish wouldn't fold it.

Nice!

I played a bit tonight, NL100 and some NL50 combined, saw some fish at NL100. Didn't go as planned an ran as shit as i usually do at NL100. This superaggro reg with cbets of 90/70/60 kept hitting vs me when i tried to outplay him and he floats with random crap and hits his miracle card etc.
And bluffs running into nutted ranges that would never fold.

Hand vs 70/15 guy. I'd reckon he would have alot of draws on this board and he woul call most of them if i pushed, unlucky turncard.

don't really like my redline in the end, couldn't get anything vs the superaggro regs that were online at the time.

Turned last nights losses back around, played pretty good i guess. And i could win 'some' showdowns lol, see blueline.

Biggest losing hand, in hindsight i shouldn't even barreled this board. during play i thought the best hand he could really have was AQ or AJ and AJ should fold after 3 barrels, but he would've 3bet quite some combo's of AJ pre already. Furthermore the board isn't good for barreling really.

1 of my nittier folds, but i think it's a good one. I think he wouldn't really bluff me here, as i have so many Ax in my range, river is the worst possible bluffcard for him so i guess its for value.

Redline is bit mehh, but green is what matters.

Yes, another Dutch guy being a baller here

I'm not even close to playing the same stakes as you, but still following!

78s hand= Worst rivercard ever to bluff
AQ hands= no brainer fold without info.

soooo subscribed ...

Dragonball Z + threadsavers FTW!

Yea thought the same with the 78s hand, as there aren't any possible overcards that i could barrel.

Sometimes the office, sometimes my bedroom.
Or if you mean what pokerroom, stars & pacific.

Played another session at NL100, it went GOOD till halfway, then i got sloppy.

The drop is where i couldnt fold my overpocket vs a fish 200bb deep, im such a noob.
The tables were superfishy, but couldn't hit anything, hence the dropping redline constantly afterwards.

Knew it was time for dinner after this hand, such a bad rivercall. He almost always has it here after this line, didn't expect AJ tho, atleast AQ.

This hand made me Lol, or the reaction of the shitty nitreg, 2% 3bet, cbet of 40%. His reaction was: LOL WTF, 'You call 3bet', 'LOL nl100 reg', apparentely he thinks KK is a no brainer allin pre. well not vs him, few hands later he started limping and doing some weird stuff.
Might needed to fold river tho, he's never bluffing here.

Can't wait for the new DBZ movie "Battle of the Gods" (the english version) ♠_love:

about the last hand, wouldn't he play QQ the same? In which case playing it like you did is fine.

2% 3bet is probably QQ+ AK... and probably not position dependent (bad reg gonna bad reg)

but he probably wouldn't bet AK on the river but could value bet QQ although you could expect possibly a slightly smaller bet. Very close IMO.

Yea he would probably play QQ exactly the same, if he 3bets it. Openfolding here would've been funny as hell tho. But folding here would be so shit, means i'm setmining with KK vs him lol.

It's definitely not a raise tho on the river.

Anyway, down 20bb again. Shouldn't complain, the fish is still there ( i hope) later. But losing money this way is just gay. Losing it through mistakes is alot gayer.

Here's a nice tune for you guys to listen to. :trollface:

Ugh a little piece died inside me on this river.
