thanks sir! it's been a long time really happy for all your progress and, most of all, really admire your work ethic.
i think i can safely admit that i quite lack work ethic and that's the main thing holding me back everywhere, including poker. feel like i'm slowly fixing it every year though ♦

so i've started the nl50 shots with like a nearly 50BI bankroll. going through the obligatory moveup runbad obv but it's going to be ok as soon as i stop being lazy

yeah, kind of. after a while without playing these games, i also wanted to confirm my suspicions that fr games are softer - they are!
but they are boring as hell so i'll only play that to add extra volume when i'm tired, or something.

that said, i still need to get my revenge on omega centauri (fr100 zoom), down about 400 or something there. i definitely wanna rebuild my br and skill to get back there and when the revenge is fully accomplished with a massively winning month it's going to be glorious

playing some sh to keep me sharp

it's one of these times, thankfully i had decided to move down to stay sharp completely fucking impossible to win any session.
let's whine

about the 7:c A:c hand on UTG. may i ask did u have some good hand sample on your oponent and a plan how to exploit it? just that opening this hand seems optional, but defending OOP... dont u feel like u will end up paying off 2 streets with dominated ace too often? im curious about your tought process here...

i have reads on him, his range is wide and i was getting a good price. 4betting was probably better though

about the A 7 hand, I think preflop is fine if you have reads, but I hate calling turn, just jam it imo even though it is an overbet, our hand is way too vulnerable and he is def calling with worse.

yeah, actually the more i think about it the less i like it ♦ not that it's lolterrible, but calling is quite better because we can call any river and we probably still gii against AQ+ or something on most runouts.

I mean we have to call some 2p+ ott for balance but I'd do it with a less vulnerable hand (99 for example)

Yes buddy balance. Because de dont want our range to be capped at bluffcatchers when all draws busts otr. Now please either say something constructive or shut up and go figure show to beat 5nl. No offence to micro stakes intended obv but your posts are always retarded and useless.
