Gringo goes HU

some thoughts to this KK hand from the post before:

Hero raises to $0.75, MP folds, CO calls $0.75, BTN folds, SB raises to $1.25

I see this so often, but it makes really no sense. I won't fold a hand because of a min3bet.
It is dangerous when a nit does this, the 3bet so small to keep you in the hand, and then they bet pot flop/turn and shove river. most of the time I have to fold flop and let him have his extra 2BB. but it's always fun when I hit a set/2 pair and let him barrel with his overpair
but it is the only way for them to play 3bet pots, who calls a 9/5 with 1,4% 3bet if he uses a normal 3betsizing? some fish will do, but all normal players using a HUD will fold, even the worst regfish knows this guy has KK+

looks like nitty style is not so profitable, most of them are down.

I reinstalled the software, because it wasn't in English before and I want tablescanner to work, because I I sometimes add normal tables when FF traffic is low (I think I mentioned this before).

I played one hand to see if HUD is correct place, preferred seating etc is o.k.

one for the redline:

BTN: $18.68 (74.7 bb)
Hero (BB): $25 (100 bb)
CO: $22.67 (90.7 bb)
SB: $39.18 (156.7 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 9 K
CO folds, BTN raises to $0.50, SB calls $0.40, Hero calls $0.25

Flop: ($1.50) 6 8 T (3 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, BTN checks

Turn: ($1.50) 8 (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $1.25, BTN calls $1.25, SB calls $1.25

River: ($5.25) T (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $3.99, 2 folds

Results:

I think a good spot to bet and take the pot down. PFA checked flop, SB checked twice. but both called, I bet river again, there a not many hands that can call.
there are 2 pairs on the board, even if someone hit the flush it's hard to call in this spot. they can have so many busted draws, J9, or diamonds. a slowplayed 79 straight can't call with the flush and the 2 pairs on the board. maybe 8x herocalls, and I don't think someone has a T here.

:nh :megusta :fuckyeah

3 sessions today first 2 stacks up, 2nd 4 down, 3rd 2 up. breakeven

todays graph:

I missplayed for 30$, without this I would be stack up. without getting sucked out it could have been some more.

overall I can live with this, no losses and EV line is up, this means my play wasn't so bad today.

lost some stacks very fast, but I wasn't tilting. I think there was AK vs TT, QQ<KK, both BB vs BTN. then I called a turnshove on AK8x board with AK, no way I fold in this spot, I bettet flop and turn and wanted all in anyway.

Update?

I hate you for bringing this up. And I only managed 2900 in the first try. There won't be a second try though, as that would lead to a third and then...

Ok, ok. 2nd try and 3160. But now it was REALLY the last one. For now.

Edit: 6940 points. I'm getting good at this. And hating you more. Goodbye grind

I spent some time with this game too and then I started to hate the guy who posted the link in a skype group. that's when I decided to post the link here, now you can hate me, too.

my best was 19k points btw.
rumors say, that a German mod reached the 2024 tile. I've seen a screenshot, but this must be fake.

staking: I was swinging a lot, now party has 2 nice promos, so I will grind a lot these days to get the max promomoney.
at least I want to make 4 days with 150 points, they pay 300$ for this, 1000 until sunday and I get another 60$+90$ bonus.

today 3 sessions, 1st 80 up, 2nd 60 down, 3rd almost 3 stacks up, 6$ rake to go for the 150 points. end of sessione 154 points, 10$ down

My girlfriend reached it last night, within 24h of being introduced to the game. Shrugs. At least since we're a close couple, since she reached it so easily I don't even need to try any more

Sh*t! Yesterday I even forgot to eat while discovering that game!

My best was only 7K so far! So fishy!

back to poker, promo is running, 2 days left for me to make 150 PPs, today I made already 85, will make the rest later.

yesterday it was hard to make the points, I had 140 and I was so tired, I think I checked every 5 minutes if I reached the goal. my son was sick this weekend, I didn't get much sleep. but he's better now thx god. but tired or not, I ended the day more than 5 stacks up. :megusta
but it was really horrible to stay focussed. I was playing 3 tables, then 2 and the last missing points I was 1tabling.
after the session I started to watch a movie, but after 5 minutes I fell asleep.

today I'm not tired anymore, it shouldn't be a problem to make the points today.
but my first session was not good, I won 5$, but I was down more than 4 stacks. I lost 3 big pots in 2 minutes, twice set over set and AA vs set in 3bet pot.
this happens when you don't 4bet AA, I called an aggro 3better, plan was to raise his Cbet and then get it in turn. but he hit his set with 66
I made a little break, and then I had nice comeback.

I shouldn't say session was not good, I made a little profit and my game was o.k. so let's say session was a little bit unlucky, but overall I can live with this.

I've just ended 2nd session for today, a little swingy, but overall good.

lost a stack with AK vs AA, flop came down AK, big smile showed up in my face when I got him all in. then he showed aces and the smile was gone.

Results:

I really missplayed this hand, I didn't raise flop because the board is dry, and he had a high Cbet turn %.
in future I raise flop or donk turn to avoid situations like this.
I could fold river, but I called because he betted so small and I have to be good only 1 out of 5 times.
I hate this fkn party 1 card draw boards. it happens too often.

middle of the session I was almost BE, then the holy kings showed up and pushed my greenline again.

at first there only 2 of them:

finished the first promo and will get 300$

2nd promo is still running, 260PPs missing for the 150$

today I won almost everything back I lost yesterdday, so overall since promostart I'm up

graph since promostart:

here are my last sessions:

this one was horrible, friday night. very little regs and lots of spewtards or callingstations. thats why my redline goes down so much. I didn't hit many boards.

session started good, I sucked out AA with AK. but later they sucked back

as long party deals this 1 card draw boards all the time, you have no chance.

next morning a very small session, but nice winnings. won a 400BB pot when spewtard tried to bluff me at the river

next session, not sure I should call it session, I played very few hands. but my son was arround, and I quit real fast, because I had to sit out all the time because he wanted smthg all the time.

last session yesterday night

bad start, I made 2 stupid calls, and 40$ were lost. I didn't play very good, I was to passive in some spots, could have won more. I was a little tired when I played, let's call it stupid promogrind.

now one last sessions to get max out of the party promos, 30 points missing for the 150$.

done

I made the missing points and some winnings, this means 60$ extra cash and 90$ bonus :megusta

the rest of my weekend I'll spend with my son. he was playing with the neighbours kids, so I could play the session

results for the promoweek:
25,2k hands
237,94$ winnings (WR 3,8BB)
360$ cash +90$ bonus

Nice grind! :fuckyeah

one last session, I didn't want to play anymore today, but Bernardo was in bed already, traffic was o.k. and I felt good.

made some winnings, lost AK vs AJ in a 4 bet pot, later I sucked with TPGK and NFdraw vs set in 3bet pot.
then I got a really stupid board, I'd fold any other river against his raise, but in this spot I think I can't fold. villain was a 20/11 2% 3bet.
I see him more on 99+, I lose against 99 and beat the rest.

Results:

I hate this hand, villain was a spewtard, 8 BB was his normal openraise.

I had some options here, I thought about shoving, then I decided to squeeze, which was the best in my opinion.
I could have called, but the openraiser always overbetted flop or at least pot and I didn't want to play fit or fold flop. he folded 64% to 3bets so I thought to squeeze would be a good move.
I was sure the openraiser and the next player, a reg would fold most of the time, I didn't care about the midstackfish (playing 75/2)
but this fkn dutch dumbass called and shoved flop, my first thought was call because I knew he was spewy. but then I decided to fold, he called the 3bet and I didn't want spew off the rest of my stack losing against pockets or 9x crap.

sessiongraph:

any thoughts on this AK hand? do I need bigger balls or was it a solid fold?

Did you saw any hand of him in showdown?

Based on that description, with AK I would make the squeeze bigger in order to make the decision on the flop more easy.

I guess the both call and fold are acceptable.

I saw only one showdown, he Cbettet NFdraw, I raised him big with top 2pair, donkeymidstacker shoves and he shoved too.

now I think first idea was the best, I should have shoved AK in this spot to avoid ugly postflopdecisions.

played a few hands, session duration is incorrect, I played 4 tables, max 30 minutes. I think I have to correct the timesetting for PP in HM.

Even if i dont post very often here, I really like ur daily updates... so keep crushing (+bloging ;))
