Finnish fish flipping for fame

Overpair vs fish. You can argue about just call flop and milk some more out of him like that, but so many bad players are stacking off w/8x, A4, 99-TT and maybe even with some 55-77 rarely.

Yesterday I go around $100 up and then same down so not so good day. And I think I played last session pretty badly.

I get always the creeps when players are min-raising post-flop.
So I prefer to call on flop en her-evaluate turn here.
Than you can pot-control the hand in position.

This one was pretty weird.

Yeah. 2 players slow playing with big hands and 99 made a optimistic re-shove.
Not a fan of slow playing with QQ and KK, but worked well for the KK

More boring hands. Maybe I post a graph later today too.

Interesting that I should fold this hand. HRC shows this kind of NASH range: 35.1%, 22+ Ax+ K2s+ KTo+ Q2s+ QTo+ J7s+ JTo T8s+ 87s 76s 65s 54s. So 87s would be BE shove and 76s, 65s and 52s shows +0.02%. 98s however shows -0.02%.

e. Of course it will be EV+ or BE if villains call too tight.

I'm more a raising guy here. So I raise here and fold to everyone except the Shorty.
I’m not a fan of a variance move here.

I have not played over a week now. I have not been too good mood. And I also hit a bit of a bad beat because I need to withdraw some amount from my bankroll so I can fix my car. It sucks...

That’s ugly indeed. Hopefully your car is fixed soon.
So you can play with new motivation.

Wow, I really had to work to find my blog again. It was on page 8.

So, like SDK1987 must be noticed yesterday I have made a comeback to the games whit pretty decent results.

I feel like I have now found somekind of wisdom the way I play and the way these games should be played. Ofc there is always something to improve but I think my style to play is now much more wise and I notice situations in the table better than before.

Nice job indeed
Was playing for the first time this year Fifty50’s and I saw you playing, but mine session ended with a little bit profit. Even with you on some of mine tables

You are playing quite aggressive I have to say. It`s was fun to play with you again.

I need to earn something like 230vpp/day rest of the month to earn platinumstar. It should not be too hard to do that so that should be my next goal.

I also downloaded Table Optimizer trial version and so far I`m quite happy to it. Because it has low CPU and memory usage it`s much better than TN 2 when 20+ tables. Now my computer is not usually lagging at all when 20 tables open. I also did not figure out how to set correct filters to TN 2 for presetting bets. In TO it`s so much simple to set them. If anyone else has compare those two, I would like to hear some opinions.

Was indeed fun for you. I donated money with mine KK against your top 2 pair on turn
Didn’t expect A on turn helped you much, but was wrong this time
I newer used TN2 or table optimizer. So can’t help you with that.
Good luck with last VPP’s to reach PlatinumStar

I`m pretty much on schedule for reaching enough VPPs.

This graph is not telling the whole truth atm because of the issues on Stars. I think I deserve to get some refund but we`ll see.

Irl bad beat is that my car is broken. Pretty sure that problem is on starter motor but I have to take it to local auto repair shop during the weekend and they will check it next week.

I`ve got up about $100 since last graph + RB ofc. And I also received that refund from PokerStars which was $159.74 so I`m happy that it got solved although there still has been some problems on other players.

Nice you got that refund.

If you keep going up like that, you're going to need a taller graph sir!

Indeed. Lets hope it happens.

Got to post this one. This player double me up yesterday two times with same hands. Only positions were different.

Last night I tried to grind like Elky. Not as many table though but with my Ray-Bans on. Does anyone know is there any help to keep sunglasses if you are staring a screen for long periods of time?
I saw the tables pretty well with them. Only thing I need to do is change the colour of stack size stat.

Last games has now been pretty much BE. There is not much good games running middle of the week and too often tables are full of regs. And I mean FULL. 8-9/10 are regs so you kind of need to play when there is 5 regs/table because those are pretty much best games until later evening when there a bit more bad players. In turbos is more better games but there is also obviously some regular grinders.

I have also tried to find some optimal to listen while I play. I have listened some motivational speeches, relaxing music, podcasts etc. First two have worked pretty well so far.

I`m just gonna throw this one to here because I`m not exactly looking any proper analyze. What you think about this villains play on this hand? This player is reg with stats 16/12/3bet preflop 5% (BB 6% and against steal 10% from BB)/cbet 3bet pot 100% (8/8)/hands 3479
