Been a little sick lately but decided to take a 16NL shot nonetheless on day 34. For the challenge! _love:

Nice episode again! _cool:

I think the 77 hand at 15:30 was a clear fold on the turn. He snapped the flop and snapraised the turn. When someone makes these instant moves they usually have it, it means they don't think what to do, they only see their hand and the board. And you say you expect him to 3bet KQ and QJ BvB and I think you overrate these micro players a bit, cause they won't 3bet those hands too often BvB.

At 29:20 you should just shove yourself, I mean the plan wasn't to 3bet/fold the flop. And that guy is pretty aggro, in a previous session he did flat BU vs. UtG w/ A9s and did raise/broke on a Q high flop w/ the flushdraw if i remember correctly.

Like the 30 min. videos, keeo them coming! GL at the tables!

Thanks and great feedback!

Yeah, that 77 should be a fold. Need to work on my micro reads more now, you gave some good explanation for that line.

AJ I agree shoving looks fine in hindsight, when in the hand I didn't actually recognize the guy from a previous session but now that I see it he's around quite a bit in my vids lol^^

nice vid, download malwarebytes anti-malware & do a full scan on your PC. That usually picks up a few viruses that might be making your machine hang/crash.

Haha, thanks. Prior to playing poker I played semiprofessional Magic the Gathering and travelled the US a lot when I was young, so I guess that's where I picked up most of my English.

Good plan. Actually I'm gonna invest the profit of the challenge so far into a new comp lol :)

Thanks, did that already. I think it has something to do with my graphics card as windows reports an error that somehow cannot be fixed (keeps saying update couldnt be downloaded b/c I wasnt connected to the internet lol). Nevermind, buying a new comp will solve this cr*p for good^^

Hey, thanks! Unfortunately I haven't played any MTG cards for a whole number of years now. Should fire up my old MTGO account sometime :)

Hey, nice video again! _cool:

I don't like your x/c on the turn w/ KK on the 3flush. He's gonna xb a lot and basically you have to x/f any diamond river. I would b/f the turn, x/c maybe w/ Kd.

Would be nice a huge upswing before the end of the 2nd season. GL at the tables! _thumbsup:

Hi,

9:31, you did not open with 33 at MP. What is the lowest PP that you would open there?

Nice thread btw...

There is not a typical hand that you should raise or fold from a position... All the actions you take should be in function of the players' stats behind you.

Thanks! _love:

And yeah about the 33, you can def open it as I don't think it should be highly -EV or anything, but WillyD is on spot about it:

Grinding it UP turns 40, time for an anniversary episode with a special guest. We're talking poker today although the sound quality might be a little off and rusty at times - sorry about that!
