An Ape and a notebook, how long will it take?

[jgcblack]

hope it tastes better than it looks john, gl with the grind

Thanks,

tastes amazing... little bit of zing, not to wet and substantial and healthy.  Great food!

[jgcblack]

Actually feeling kinda tired, might go for a nap first...

It's almost like I'm a grownup and I realize that there is a game both now and later.  So I'm choosing later since I'll be feeling better then.


crazy stuff....

Also, enjoying the WSOP ME 2012 FT, I unfortunately already know who wins but I don't know much else...... so lets get some sickness going on!

[jgcblack]

Yeah, so didn't play yesterday.... really glad about it now.  At the time though, I felt like I 'should' play.

Felt chilled this morning so just spent the morning chilling in the duvet, crawled out for porridge and WSOP ME 2012 FT parts 3 and starting 4.

Then went for a little errand for C and picked her up from the station... waiting with a russian hat on and the skinny jeans that show off her ridiculous frame - think she's like 50kg or something... (that's half my weight)


Then home and chilled and got a session going, between her mini massages and a little natter, and  WSOP ME 2012 FT part 5.... we managed to book a really good session.

Ran a little good with some runouts but mainly just value hands.


check this puppy out. (meaning graph)


The one big pot we lost was KK vs 44 where I 3bt SB and he cold called BB, I cbet/ shoved because of the stack size:pot ratio.  Figured he would be calling with a massive range of his pre flop cold calling range on the
 

I figure he calls with any pair that has a heart, any straight draw, probably any 9x... and almost certainly any single  hand he gets here with.... most people would raise the flop in this spot with 33/44 and 99 despite that probably not being the best play vs me.

Turns out he tank called a set, lol-a-ments.

Meh i think.

But got a good bi with K10 vs K7o which I liked.



Other than that, going for a little break, watch some more of the FT and more massages! seeya later.

[jgcblack]

Just played a decent session time wise, even had a small break.  And ofc the second I say to C "look, I don't blowup anymore after 1000 hands of losing 0.20c"

I then make two big mistakes in 'meh' spots where I'm probably crushed but I've seen enough crazy shit to know not always.

Anyways, here they are, managed to book a tiny losing session which with 300bb's of mistakes I think is great!

This happened first -
On the flop I'm thinking he can have all two pair combos, probably a lot of small flushes tbh.. but also obv some sets.
On the turn I discount the sets now and concentrate on the small flushes, Ax and so on... I'm not trying to make someone fold these 'big' hands but they should struggle some % of the time and we have the old   for the times we get called.  We're only dead to 77, 76 and 66, which is a pretty narrow range I was thinking at the time

In retrospect I don't like it. At all.

http://wt.ag/V3aOYg
Possible this is influenced by the hand above, I was just lol'ing about with C due to me just saying how i hardly make mistakes any more and there's bin a lot of small induce-a-ments or bluff catches in the last few sessions that other people just aren't doing at this level.

Then I see this and just say to myself 'lots of big draws.. cant ever have   so we're going with it and going to get there vs his 68 if i has it.'

Don't like this either.


Then proceeded to play QQ nicely and get it all in preflop vs JJ for a bi recovery.

Finished a tiny loss, $2 i think... over 2300 hands.  Which is a shame but in the spirit of trying to be more disciplined I am quitting for a bit to refocus and come back for another session later.


 

[jgcblack]

Played another session and much happier about this one..

Lost A10 vs J9 on A10875 where I call, call, raise... however something smelt funny when he only cbet 1/2pot flop but full pot turn and river... I should've flatted/folded river.
#didntchangetheplan

And lost AQ vs 10's where I 3bt pre, cbet, cbet, shove and he just calls down on Q26r 10 10... lolz


Other than that, some pretty standard stuff, lots of "sigh, hurumph, meh" folding to those turn minraises!



Off to somewhere nearby with work for a few days, should be relatively 'easy' work as its just a bit of a babysitting thing.  But weekend work is double time!

Best of luck to everyone going to DTD for the deepstack, wish I could come.  I will still have a ticket banked for Jan, depends when they run it I guess....

Hate to be a dick John, but to give you a idea how bad both of those hands are, I fold both on the flop to a raise from a 10nl player. (the AQ on Axxdd and the AK hand btw)

3betting just isolates you vs the top of their range. So if you really want to continue just call. Dont start piling in 150bb+ on the flop when its very rare they get it in light

completely agree... not sure what I wanted to do/ think... at the time.

Really rare with these kind of things nowadays.

[jgcblack]

Had a great time here, but because of the usual I haven't mentioned or posted about it because I want to add photos and videos which obv would defeat the point.
Anyways, had a good couple of days, work hard + play hard means I only had 3 hours sleep today and so right now im a little tired and looking forward to going home and being on leave really soon.

Sucks that Tom L direct bubbled.. I know a little about why happened, and although I do trust him I will be asking him about a hand where a guy calls OOP then donks 10xxhh board and Tom has AhKo and decides to make the raise.  The only reason I say this is the only few times I can remember this kinda thing happening, they do it because they dont want to fold.  However this wasn't even his exit hand.

Also, vbol to the dtd crew, pat and everyone else at Prague. There are a lot of people coming 'up through the ranks' and I hope between us we can really stamp our mark of competence across the world.

3k/6k donk1 limps, i go 16k w AhKx donk2 calls bb, donk1 calls. JT4hh donk2 donkpots 42k with like 110 behind, folds to me i jam cuz I got dec equity against his range as he never has 2pr+ and its direct bubble and theres like 90k in the middle. Totally fine with my play, he just makes a retarded call and finds the 1 hand he is >50% against and obv does a hold.

Probably go for a look at the payouts, a sigh and maybe even a wallet check if i'm short before i shove though!

I completely agree it should be a standard play... but I really don't recall ever seeing someone do this and actually folding when they donk pot.  If he bets a single chip less, say <35k+ then I really think your FE goes up a lot.

However I'm clearly fos and barely winning, so probably just wrong.

Sucks for you mate, was really gutted.  You're one of the people I want to do well in these things when I'm not in them... when I am you can get ****ed!
(mainly because I don't want you making my life hard, the deeper I go through the tournament - G2L didn't get too creative but I did have position on him, still wasn't loving it tho clearly.)

This.

10NL burns your soul and there are alot of bad players but your pretty much never ahead when someone raises you on the flop. Lets be the one with 2p and sets instead of top top hoping they have worse.

need help working out a weight-loss bet....

then have to work out someone for the other side..

I currently weigh around 100kg, but I used to be 85kg a couple of years ago. I want to be there again, and I'm not doing enough about it on my own.




I have a gym membership with kiss gym's MK which has some great machines and facilities.  And I have virtually all of Dec off on annual leave so plenty of time to do something silly like go twice a day 6 days a week or something..

[jgcblack]

Played a session and felt like I was playing pretty good, not getting impatient, made a smallish hero call but nothing major.

Then all this just exploded...

http://wt.ag/SHAivP
not sure I like it in retrospect, but there has to be enough equity here with all the possible combos of hands vs draws...?

http://wt.ag/SHAdIx
yeah, don't see anything wrong with this... thought the 10 was good for their overcard ranges and that I'd get a bet from one of them enough to make this work.

http://wt.ag/SHAf3k
sigh.... actually think his range should be heavily weighted to Jx by this river... most people don't peel the turn with weak draws in my experience and they get in the big ones otf.

http://wt.ag/SHAmf5
don't think that can be bad at all....

http://wt.ag/SHAkE4
here was a chance to make money but we played it 'standard'.... sigh
