martins1337: A-game development

regs are better and more aggressive, 3betting more - of course not all of them. some are playing nl10 and nl25 at the same time, others nl25 and nl50. and fish are fish. Just need to tableselect and you should be fine.

Don't bluff unknowns. It's that simple.
funny pic, or is it?

This week I'm many many much down, but the funny thing is, I'm not even mad. All I can do is getting it in good.
I won't mention spews but it happens

$0.1/$0.25 No-Limit Hold'em (6 handed)

Known players:
[tg]MP3$50.20:///////;CO$25.00:///////;BU$25.00:///////;SB$21.56:///////;BB (Hero)$29.76:///////;MP2$9.00:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q:d, Q:h.
MP2 raises to $1.00, 2 folds, BU calls $1.00, SB calls $0.90, Hero raises to $4.00, MP2 folds, BU calls $3.00, SB calls $3.00.

I sqz small because I thought UTG (MP2) would not fold - for him (MSSer) all in or fold + don't think he has so many folds here. But now I think raising to 6$ would be better.
SB and BU fish

Flop: ($13) 2:s, T:s, 8:h (3 players)
SB bets $12.35, Hero raises to $24.70, BU folds, SB calls $5.21.
SB donks ~60%, I'm happy to get it in, and don't want to call and give BU good odds for his hand.

Turn: ($55.26) 2:c (2 players)

River: ($55.26) K:c (2 players)

Final Pot: $55.26.

Results follow:

Hero shows two pairs, queens and twos(Qd Qh).
SB shows three of a kind, twos(2d 4h).

Hero wins with two pairs, queens and twos(Qd Qh).
SB wins with three of a kind, twos(2d 4h).

Had 2 day break, and now it looks like it will be 3 days. When I try to sit at tables, it says I can't, because "I'm in USA". It's not the first time this had happened. Well ok, less rake for them ♦

Here is something from The Poker Mindset.

What is really important is not how much losing a big pot affects you emotionally, but how it affects your play. Emotions come and go, but steamed-off money is gone forever. The hand is in the past, best forgotten. If you can learn anything from it, then it needs to be filed away as useful information, but in every other sense you must act as if that hand never happened.

Changed layout, now it's better to play, no more fancy collors

Nice clean layout, I like it!

don't tell enybody, but I think there is better fish:reg ratio in the morning. was playind 6 tables fish:reg ~1:1
WAAAT?
exactly!

Sad day today. Pokertracker 4 closed public beta test and now I have to pay for it I have 15 days left, after that - hmm, PT4 is good, but is it better than HM2?
for PT4 it's 60$ for small stake - up to NL50, and 100$ for full.
and HM2 is 60$ for small stake, but 90$ for pro.
will think about this

when the time comes, I will buy HM2.
today played vs interesting villain. he looked like reg (from stats), but he called 4bets with at least 99-qq. Hope I will see him again

It looks like there is a bit of bumhunting going on at NL25. 1-3 players opening 4-6 tables and waiting for fish to sit down. And I red at 2+2 that there is a script, where you are instanlty placed left to fish, when he sits down.
What's the differense between bumhunting and tableselecting? On both you try to play games, where you can win. Isn't tableselecting some sort of bumhunting?

Nice hand

what hero has?
If I would be the villain, I probably would fold everything. If villain thinks the same - good spot for bluff?

July. I think it's the most hands I played in a month, yay! ♦

For next month:
1. Improve
2. Volume
3. ?????
4. Profits

But on serious note...
i will start using HM2. After I finish first deposit bonus, I will buy it, but for now - trial. And, possibly, move to other site, but it's not set in stone.

After few hands - the right move would be to just shove in preflop. But at that time... still questionable
I think clubs was his favorit hand. And he never lost. called an all in pre Qc3c vs KK and won ofc. but not against me. i just watched how, eventually, he lost all his money
This is how I run at weekends.
