The new kid on the block!

Hi Saren113 and welcome to one of our Swedish friends! ♠_cool:

I've built a couple of bankrolls from scratch but I'm very impressed you did that one as quickly as you did, nice going there! I expect 2.5% rake does help to take the pressure off just a little though yes?

I quite liked Unibet, but then I liked microgaming generally and only recently moved.
I'll keep watch for some interesting posts and wish you good luck in building that bankroll again.

Mal.

Thanks mr gadget! Ye the rake discount is a BIG thing, and it's better then any rakeback deal you can get. But as you take such a deal you can't sadly get a deal with pokerstrategy :(, so that's sucks.

This is a pretty standard hand but at the river I want villian to stab the river with all busted draws

This day so far I haven't been playing any poker, except of with play money with my rookie friend who I try to teach the fundamental parts of poker.

So we have reviewd my handhistory, from the latest day and I've let him to give me his thoughts about how he would play the hand.

I am trying to get him to understand the importance of PFA, how it will help him printing money.

I noticed that he did progress and that he improved, I gave him a hand range to follow, So he got some fundamentals to help him.

I played really aggresive to make him think about every spot.

At 18:00 my grind will start so awesome!!

Hi Saren123,

Welcome to the blogs section, keep us updated, and wish you quick climbing through levels.

Happy grinding,
Fran

My first session for the day is done and I am really happy about it, I made some good folds.

I can't find the other hand that I meant to post, but in short describtion J6o in a limped pot on a JJ5 board 2 spades, the real passive guy goes aggro spew monkey, he donks and I raises and he 3b. I tank and I fold, I don't ever think I am good in that spot tbh.

The biggest loss this session, this is just yewk.

I think I have found 4 majors leaks in my game.

First is that I am not stealing enough from the BU.

Second I do not 3b enough, especielly when I got the positional advantage.

Third I defend to much In the bb, when I should prob sqz or fold.

And last I am not checkraising the weak players with hands like TPTK as I should as they will always call to much, So I build up the pot to the river.

I've now played the first session of today, everything felt really good, I've think I played alot better. I 3b more in pos vs regs and people got mad, calling me oop with for an example 54o when i 3b i bb vs sb open.

I think I've upd my game atleast everything felt more smooth and alot more sense.

I've played the last session for today, overall I am pretty happy, some cooler spots but not much to do.

Would you play this fast even if its a multiway pot? My thought about playing it fast her was that there are lots of scary turn cards.

I should really have checked behind on the turn.

Hi,

I personally never check back this turn, I would just bet bigger, like pot size bet, even if you use overbets as semi bluffs, this could be a spot to over bet to make some balance in your over bet range imo.

I would consider check back if little bit deeper, something closer to 200 bb's effective.

Also, take my advises with reserve bcs I often get critics about my over aggressive moves.

Best of luck,
keep up the good work.

Fran

I think the problem with getting it in on the river is that we are always a underdog, On that turn he might shutdown his second pair that was top pair to the board. And that was my reasoning for raising his donk bet OTF even if it was in a multiway pot. So on the flop I was ready to get it in vs his sets and overpairs and maybe some random draws.

But I am not certain about this vs a range that is JJ-77,AQs-ATs,A8s,QTs,JTs,T8s+,AJo,A8o,JTo

I got 57.73% but well it's pretty generous as I block the nutflush so I should reduce some of my outs. So My real eq is prob something like 35-45%

My day started really badly and my second session started poorly aswell, coolerd and the fish just hit his two outers all the time on the river hah.

But I didn't give up beacause well you need to preform even when things go south.

So I kept on grinding I ended up as a winner after four hours, and it did feel great to not just roll over and quit!

Today I've got the honor to get in 1190 hands. As I started only out with playing 4 tables so in the start the volume is a little less.

But on four days I've got in 4000 hands.

Biggest win today.

Oh I just hate these rivers.. Binking a set when actually that's the last thing we need..

Also, why betting only 2BB's after UTG limps in? I would make it 3 BB's if some other position limps in, and after UTG limps in, i would even go with 3.5x, this way we would probably prevent BB to 3bet, and it could influence on complete action afterwards if you 2 barrel for instance. I'm not saying it would happen, but it's one possible scenario. Would you agree?

Best of luck sir,
Fran

That's just a honest misstake, a missclick ^^, so my standard is +3b per limper, just to punish this bad behaviour. It's got to cost to see flops

It's the only turn out I will give him some more action on, and theres alot more combos of 2 pair etc.

Aya will catch him next session ♠_evil:

Fuck my life 600 bbs- on this session. Back to square one

Villian is a 45/28 player that have raised bets 3/6 times, so i figure why not keep him barreling. The turn was a pretty safe one. But there is so many rivers I don't want to see so I thought c/shoving was the best play here as he can have all sort of hands.

Well after yesterday I decided to move down a limit to regain my selfestem, and feel like I was crushing again, not that I doubt that I am crushing my current limit. But on my short session today 2(30 min) I've managed to almost regain that I lost yesterday. I've had a fun session with a reg today and I think he got tilted , I am on btn with AA he is at co with KK we get it in pre. Just a cooler.

But then on another table that he is also on I get KK on the btn he 3 b I 4b and he jams 66 from sb.

Biggest hand today.
