Good luck, Taavi!

Thank you very much!

Ok, today I revieced rakeback for about $12, so I was able to move back to 0.25/0.50 with my $154. But soon I found myself on $142 again. Now I had some very good luck at 0.1/0.2 and earned $8.31 with 192 hands (21.64 BB/100).

Current BR: $150.55

I'll make a little break now, but tonight I'll be grinding 0.25/0.50 again. Let's see if I manage to survive at 0.25/0.50! ♦

Um, is your account TupeTaavi or something like that? I ask because I've seen you a million times in my coachings I think

Hi, TerrorBlade! My account is taavi1337 and I have never been in any coachings. But I have watched your videos, they have helped me a lot. Lol at TupeTaavi, it means "Taavi of Pussy" in Estonian.

About my last night's play, I was finally able to win something.

You should fold that AK hand on a turn.

AA: I think it's too dangerous flop to just call here, so you should raise flop.

Thanks for advice.

Lost 40 BB with that 600-handed session.

Had another losing session, lost 15 big bets in 350 hands due to bad play and some bad beats.

Edit: The session was very swingy, I ended up with $166.86.

Got $15 rakeback yesterday and played a 500-handed swingy session. I ended up in -7 BB, but most of the time it was much worse. Also won the biggest pot in my life (so far, I hope):

Played 293 more hands tonight.
+85 Big Bets!!
I'm satisfied with winrate like this, lol.

BR: $220.84
This is my face right now:

That's a rather ugly spot on the turn there. I would play it the same, but I'd seriously not appreciate the moment where BU and MP2 are calling!!

By the way: 85 BB in 300 hands is crazy ♠_biggrin:
