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

[jgcblack]

I was just wondering with all these nights off work is there any mileage in giving C a call.

She won't answer the phone, and I dont want to invade the family home.

Not a lot I can do.

sigh.... Ok mate was just a thought. Chin up and win the world instead gl.

Fairly sure she doesn't read this anymore.. But I do want to speak to her a lot. I know we have a lot of shared friends, but im not going to sour any of those relationships by using them.
Maybe she needs time, maybe it won't ever matter to her.

Won a little back but still losing and still playing as good as I can I think.

Made someone fold QQ by the river.
UTG open, 3bt from a tightish player playing 250, I peel  and can't resist the spot. Ranges are messed up because the UTG has been caught opening suited crap over the last two weeks A LOT.

Cold 4ball, corner pocket. From my btn.

UTG folds and i get a slow peel.

FLOP
 
he checks, I cbet, he takes an age and calls.

TURN
 

Pretty good turn card imo, I dont think he is check shoving here, but in case and for 'river honesty' I check back to find my flush!

RIVER
 

We've made a pair but I dont think its good....

He checks and I take 10secs before setting him in for just under pot.  He painfully folds QQ and I smile while all the regs shout 'snapp you off with a 3 mate'

Felt nice and with my nitty (losing but still nitty) image tonight I just knew it was getting through..

Also, just won a pot with 5 high.

Despite playing like a nit the whole night..

my UTG open gets 3bt by J4o, the 4bt peeled, and call/called on a QJxx runout for 350bbs.

No soft money in poker.

[jgcblack]

I've blown... Completely.

[jgcblack]

Wasn't classy, really upset with myself. Obviously frustrated I can't seem to get paid when I've had value hands.. And even when I have the very top of my range I just get lol peeled by air, which then hits.. Coz it's easy to make pairs apparently.

So bipolar about the whole thing.


I know I dont deserve anything in poker.. I know there is no justice, I know that I work so hard and I am being rewarded..

But to get responses like "you've never jammed for value, a J is obv good". Frustrates and just clicks the right buttons.


Outside with a faceful of cold water... Starting to get cold now but I deserve that.


Deep breaths.

play thousands of hands and get used to variance online, and then blow up playing high stakes high variance live cash games? doesnt make sense

Not sure if those posts aee deliberately trying to tilt me or not..

Did you not read the hh above?

JACK FOUR O

to a 4th preflop bet

[Donk23]

dude, ill admit my timing is woeful, but just take it like a man, obv you want him to peel a 4ball, thats an exploitative non optimal play which is where the money is made

[jgcblack]

And I even flop two overs and a gutty...

Where's the turn ace..?

[Donk23]

lol 

stay in for the long haul bud!

[jgcblack]

Flop a flush vs the same 34cc and J4o 'hero' and obv he's flopped a flush too (lower).. with someone who folded having also flopped a lower flush than mine...

Turn - diamond.

One crucial difference in Live and Online poker is that, whereas it's often slightly easier to play live, your bigger mistakes in live poker will get punished a lot harder, cos you're much deeper and dealing with a totally different dynamic of play. Good focus is effectively one of the most crucial elements for live play imo.

Don't wanna be like a broken record but its so important, you CANT lose your head in deepstacked live cash games like Pleno said before you do more damage in a 45min period tilting off than you can make up for in 4 and a half hours playing well. You don't force action the action has to force you.

[pleno1]

but why would you barrel qjx in a 4bet flop? hes never folding turn/river.

even cold 4betting a2s sound like huge huge fancy play syndrome and just no need.
