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

i 4x bvb 100bbs deep as standard.

[pleno1]

From a fundamental and game theory pov I doubt there is anybody better than Callum to speak too btw.

Regarding bvb 3x is definitely standard 4x just worsens your price.

Reasons to 4 villain never folds and we adjus by opening very tighter but larger for value.

Reasons to 2.5x villain only 3bets or folds

I am opening a tighter range, as you said.

Yesterday's awesomeness is being undone by todays poor play/ horrible spots. 

Think I've 'gotten there' 2 or 3 times with gutshots to straights only to lose to a FH... obv - marv.

[jgcblack]

Knew today was bad, but wasn't 100% on how bad.

Going back down to 10nl tomorrow.

ouch.

[jgcblack]

So after playing nice and solid for a while and earning 25nl, and then focusing yesterday to make sure I didn't lapse into 'old John'....


Well i waited an extra day but it happened.


So upset with myself i almost debated not posting this but if i don't it defeats the point of this whole thing.  One of the things I hold in myself different to others in both poker and life is that in lots of situations I just 'tell the truth' about what I want/ have/ have done and others either exaggerate or fib/lie or leave out details.


I knew today was bad but hadn't realised how bad.
(sorry pat, I'll make sure I do 'look' to check next time)

This is todays graph.

how can u be down 10 bis if ur stop loss in 4/5?

[jgcblack]

Really simple, I didn't win a lot at showdown..

stats were a depressing

22.7 VPIP
19.3 PFR
8.2 3bt
31 WTSD%
16.7 W$SD%
2.85 Agg

Everything is relatively 'normal for me, maybe a tiny bit too many showdowns..

The sucky thing is I actually 'got there'.... A LOT... ..... already dead.  Ah.....

Here is a 'fair' example of the hands we did not win today:            (some are painful, but in game it seemed 'ok')

http://wt.ag/KUliGm - we shove because when I've seen people check minr its normally nutted but ckr small has often been  /  type hands.. I figured he would be forced to fold a decent % with these type hands as I have a blocker to a lot of the 'monster' draws.

http://wt.ag/KUlQMv - hand before I had AKo as well and raise/4bt it..... vs this villain I'm really sure he will have A8, 99-JJ sometimes,  X, and other random 910 type hands enough that this should be fine - i think.

http://wt.ag/KUm9aj - fairly sure I leveled myself here... I check the flop to try and look like AA, KK, QQ and I was check shoving.  This villain has been rather tight vs me pre, but in this spot with the btn I don't expect him to be nutted - AND he has not seen me cold 4b once.  So I bet/ shove in order to look like the hands stated... obv he's just said "well I ckb flop so he's taking off..." which is such a shame that its true for a different reason. SUXXXXX.

http://wt.ag/KUmslf - complete misclick pre, i was trying to do something on another table that was slightly overlapping and i minraise pre... fml.  then was never folding that flop.  got there innit.

http://wt.ag/KUmFoJ - completely playing his range... I was 100% he had A8-AJ.. Shame I'm right about somethings sometimes..
MUST NOT TRY TO MAKE PEOPLE FOLD TP @ 25NL

http://wt.ag/KUmOIO - I had notes on this guy playing strangely in and out of position.. he'd flatted AQ/ AK IP but been hyper aggro OOP... therefore I weight his range to AK/AQ almost exclusively and didn't love the call but asked myself "if we think he has AQ/ AK all the time, why are we slowrolling him?"

Turns out, he has dem AA's and just decided to 'hope' I could call. sigh.

http://wt.ag/KUni1j - going for value... (not using the word thin because I don't think it is)...... guess he had an A.

http://wt.ag/KUnDRS - 71/19 over 20 hands and had played them badly... didn't figure I'd be behind here very often, if at all.





Sucks so much, really disappointed and sick part is i feel 'fine' I only finished because I lost a bunch of 'silly' hands in a row at the end then thought I'd check how bad it was and if we were near stop loss yet, turns out..... we were past it quite a bit.  I don't look @ HEM during a session now as advised by my skype group... but today that didn't help me stop where I guess I should have.

Other than this I don't know what to say except that I will be back soon... would be nice to stay a few nights next time.


Not sure what to do for the rest of the eve tbh.. just want to grind.

Try walking before learning to run

Try walking before learning to run

ouch... i stepped down with no problems, grinding my ass off when in UK and then once ive earned a step up, play solid.. then have a bad session playing decent stats and running into a bunch of meh/ horrible spots..

and I get this..

ouch.

[Junior Senior]

Just think you may be leveling yourself and giving these 25nl guys a bit too much credit for moves they probably don't have.

Wasn't sniping

[pleno1]

Tonight is 10x worse than ur 'step forward' was good.

Not knowing you had lost twice than the
mount your allowed to which is already a lot not only shows a lack of respect (gotta be honest ) but it shows a lack of discipline and shows that you were totally not in cOntrol. It's o e of he reasons I o my allow you to play 4 tables to keep control so losing 10 is just absolutely inexcusable and extremely frustrating/disappointing.

Total spew. 3bet pre? Why? Stack off on flop vs
Very likely combo draw that dominates you or a set that you are basically dead to.

[pleno1]

Shoul justified this and said that it's fine. It's. Of its delision he has cold called a 3bet the. For active on 568. If you had aa it would be a close spot/food ak is an a solute no brainer.

This is an absolute terrible stack off.
