Hi Stackoffski,
I see great blog from your side. It is good when one has a place to express one's experiences and emotions. Sort of like a vent. I wish you success with your endeavor.
Рemember from me: every session you are not losing is profitable _drink:
I want to ask this volume of tournaments you play, how much time does it take you in a day. Approximately.

Hi Almighy!
thanks for stopping by ... about the tournaments, you mean the spin and golds? I played them for a little while, but not much anymore. The rest of the posts was cashgames.
I can probably check how long the average duration was for 1 spin n gold, hang on ...

Okay Almighty, from 2192 spin n golds, the average duration of 1 spin n gold was 03:16 (min:sec).

Btw, you can make a clickable link in your signature (your blog) in your forum settings:

Not sure that I agree with you here. The most important part of the BBvsSB spot is your POSITION, not your hand strength.
Maybe you are folding too much when your hand does not connect with the board, instead of using your position in your advantage?

Hi Tim ... I don't mean the BvsB spots, but calling oop from the BB, not vs the SB.

a sidenote to being the aggressor: if you can't be the aggressor, you may choose to fold as well instead of defending. But be the aggressor or don't play. It's a generalizing saying and not always true of course.

1/3 pot cbets 100% of the time
So I have been thinking about cbetting 1/3rd pot 100% of the time like the beginners guide that Lemon posted suggests, but I can't do it haha. Sometimes I just don't think it's profitable to cbet because the opponent is very tight (strong range) or too loose (call or raise too often).
Also, I don't like the 1/3rd pot-size for a lot of flops it seemed. It's too weird. It doesn't really protect, it doesn't get a lot of value compared to larger bets, it doesn't get a lot of info about handstrength ...
It would mess up my whole postflop play, I feel I'd have to adjust turn and river as well.

Of course, the guide is not for fastfold...

but I am trying to get more cbets in (only 61% now).

Over a sample of 8K hands, my cbets had 73% fold-equity!

Anyway, I am glad I am getting my 1K hands/day in until now:

I only won 35.5%, and got ITM exactly 36.5% ... that's not enough either ... I kinda left them for cashgames now I think ...

Thanks again PokerStrategy for the $50 out of nowhere ... I am going to spend it on MTTs ...

These are my bankroll-management rules:

Cashgames:
- Take 5 buyin shot with 30 buyins + 5 buyins next limit
- Step back with 30 buyins for the previous limit

MTTs / Other:
- All non-cashgame earnings can be spend on any MTT or other game.

Congrats on winning the $50 hope you make it $5000 soon. I noticed that you don't use chip ev for Spins which is the only relevant metric there if you want to see how you're doing, everything else can be really skewed by variance (not winning $3s, but mostly $2s and stuff like that). As for your NL adventures - SB and BB defense are indeed tricky to play, bc OOP and often times you have to defend with marginal hands, but given the correct pot odds you should be able to improve there IMO. Good luck on NL10, wish you won't have to go down to NL5 again!

yeah let's do that ... 5 tables rush poker :f_cool: ... sure it will go down fast, but at least I can be sure, rather than unsure if I'm going to win! :f_biggrin:

I had a very good $5nl session, got BR to $210, played some nl$10 at 1 table. Lost a few, but I'm not afraid anymore (for now).

Thanks so much Tony!
I am a spin n go/ tournament noob really when it comes to theory ... I think 2K spin n go's is not much? I have no idea what is a longer term for that game! (Do you?)

I will have to look into this chip-ev-thingy (yes that bad :f_rolleyes:) ... for now:

I had to download the statistic actually ... good news it is above 0? Bad news is that 14 seems like a small number haha.

Thanks again for your post, will have luck at nl$10!

Yeah 14 is not really that good. I'm currently running at about 100 (which is super high to be honest, so I expect to be humbled down sometimes in the future) at the micros at PS. I think the break even point is like 35 or sth. Also 2k is my volume for like 3 months (but I only play like 2-3 hours a day max) so I wouldn't say this is little. Anyways, it seems like you found your groove at the NL tables for the time being, so good luck with that.

Around 35 break-even, allright ...

I forget I played the game that much then, but I played 2 tables I think most of the time :f_eek:.

I think I can get better at that game though, but we'll see, right now more fun in cashgames indeed.

NL$10 doesn't seem that hard at first glance, even softer it seems like ... probably just the players I ran into though.

I only lost because some river-suckouts (that I didn't pay off when they checked into me, happend few times ha!)
