August grind - Day 1
  TianYuan, Aug 01 2008

Because I've been so undisciplined lately when it comes to putting in hands, I've decided I need to set some goals. Unfortunately, I don't have any tangible goal like I did in december (my supernova grind, was actually quite fun to play that much) but hopefully just having some basic goal of X hands will be enough.

So.. I'm going to shoot for 1k hands a day, which probably sounds very low (in december I did 5k a day) but the thing is, I'm 4 tabling. Omaha. That means it takes me almost 4 hours to reach 1k hands which is quite a lot.

I might try 6 tabling eventually, or 3 tables 6 max and 1 table HU, but we'll see. Easier to grind the more tables you play, but I'm not really comfortable enough in my omaha game to mass table I think.

Anyway, played my first 1/2 session of omaha today (I'm a nit so despite being very well rolled I started off much lower to learn ;p) and I'm quite happy with it. Tiny loss but enjoyed playing and think I did a good job of re-focusing everytime I felt myself drifting off.

I actually didn't quit just because I was almost back to even.. I swear

Happy with my aggression numbers increasing, just need to get a little bit more frisky preflop and on the flop.
W$WSF looks meh but it's getting up there, hopefully as a result of my play improving. Once I have a decent sample of hands I'll do some serious PT reviewing.
VPIP looks somewhat low for 4 tabling perhaps, but it's climbing steadily, probably as I figure out how to play more and more hands.

As it's very late and I just wanted to get this up here to make sure I get started, I'll only post a handful of hands:

I think I out-thought myself here.. he insta called flop and turn so I was thinking "wouldn't he stop to think for a bit /w a boat or a 3?".. And ye, I think I need to realize that raising a 3 with no kicker on this flop probably isn't a super good idea in omaha and make it a bigger part of peoples range
+ Show Spoiler +




Given my poor position, people left to act behind me, and my hand having a gap at the top and only one suite, should I fold preflop to the first raise? Once the action goes like it does I think I have to call for this price. On the flop.. I wasn't sure what my equity would look like here, so I ran it in propokertools vs a set of kings and a flushdraw, and came up with 29%, which is pretty close to enough to get it in here but I wasn't sure if I was being overly optimistic (ie how big is the risk I'll get it in vs like 789T or something). As it turns out I had 31% equity vs their hands (a set of kings and AA w a flushdraw, I guess me and the AA guy holding a six helped us as it limits the boat redraw, and there was only 1 blocker in their hands). Anyway, as I wasn't sure I ended up folding.
+ Show Spoiler +



I thiiiink this AA** is strong enough for a 3bet. Flop is =[
+ Show Spoiler +



Given that he just calls this flop, putting him on a draw/not great hand seems reasonable. If river bricks should I shove to get him off some lousy pair that might beat me? Maybe save myself a headache and check behind turn, but I did pick up a whole load of outs (well, an 8 is still not great) and his hand doesn't look very strong.
+ Show Spoiler +



Hm.. I guess he'd have called me here even without the flush. I'm not sure I should call the turn for a second full pot bet in a limped pot but I thought I had some bluff outs with spades obv.
+ Show Spoiler +



Misplayed not betting turn here, I block a straight fairly well. River I was just needlessly paranoid about getting bet/3bet, need to raise for value.
+ Show Spoiler +



So I was folding this hand preflop, then everyone and their mother called so I thought I had to as well given odds.. Meh. Turn I call cause I put him on AA and I have a lot of outs and getting a good price. Preflop might still suck tho
+ Show Spoiler +



Another hand I think might be a preflop fold. I have an ace and a pair which sucks, and my hand isn't terrible connected. Even if my equity in the pot is good enough to justify a call, I can probably not realize this equity if I'm going to miss almost all flops (ie I don't get to see all 5 cards). Ye -.-
+ Show Spoiler +



As nolan said, I think b/f flop is best here. I was probably distracted on some other table as this seems like a pretty good flop to bet.
+ Show Spoiler +



Not sure there's any point in barrelling here.. their hand seems fairly likely to be a mediocre medium overpair type hand but I also didn't feel like I could rep a whole lot.
+ Show Spoiler +



With the FD missing, I felt c/c was best here since I didn't think he'd call 2 streets with a straight draw on a 2 flush board. Would have snapcalled an allin too. Meh.
+ Show Spoiler +



Too thin? I think the alternative is to c/f?
+ Show Spoiler +



Err, b/f flop? Any point in even calling the turn once I check flop >_ + Show Spoiler +



Not sure I should even call here OOP preflop. Maybe I could 3bet this type of hand but I think I'd rather do that 100bb deep as getting it in with a flushdraw and pair or something isn't that bad when shallow but probably not great when this deep.
On the flop.. folding seems weird, raise/fold seems awkward and would be almost purely to define his hand (I guess some value from boatdraws if I make it small) but I'm not gonna even like betting turn and it's gonna get so messy. I decided to call and bluff boat cards but since he checked behind turn I thought I was probably good and decided to check down. Oh well.
Worth noting is that the limper was quite bad, so that might be an argument for calling pre.
+ Show Spoiler +



My turn betsize is stupid. Because it leaves the short stack with 6$. WHAT A WASTE! Talk about crushing the deck.
+ Show Spoiler +



Given his stacksize I'm comfortable getting it in here, but I'm not sure how much bigger it has to be before I shouldn't be. Once we get to that point, am I better off checking behind so as to not get blown off my fairly strong hand?
+ Show Spoiler +



Hm, I think I like this line, if I can get it in vs the halfstack I'm not too unhappy, and I might get a bluff out of them. I guess if the bigger stack (who was vvvv loose, like 80/15 or something) slowplayed something that really sucks :[
+ Show Spoiler +



Maybe worth a 3bet here preflop? Flop is.. like, if I c/r, I might as well c/r with 4 uno cards, he's never just calling my c/r and I can't call an allin (cause I'll be drawing stone dead to AA** with diamonds/boat/quads or very poorly vs a 3 so meh. Lead?

Sweeeeeeet flop Maybe checking turn hoping sets turn themselves into bluffs is too tricky. Shoving turn does look awfully strong tho but I suppose that with his stacksize he's never folding a set anyway so might as well get it in.
+ Show Spoiler +



With his small raise I think I can call on the flop, even with the flushdraw.. Sick that the equities reversed on the turn (45/55 into 55/45).
+ Show Spoiler +



I considered checking turn, since nearly no rivers are bad for me, but he's more of a station than a bluffer I think.. So I probably have to build the pot myself.
+ Show Spoiler +



Sick that he's actually ahead of me on the flop, didn't realize 2 pair and a fd was enough for that (I knew a set and a fd was tho). Anyway, my plan was to bluff board pairing cards and clubs (oops) but when he checked back turn I obviously decided he didn't have the hand I thought he had (the last QJ) so I scratched that plan.
+ Show Spoiler +



Well, that's all of them, so gnight, gl.

Should I have folded this hand?
  TheHuHu, Jul 31 2008

I get dealt AA UTG + 1 so I raise 4x and this guy OTB flat calls.

Flop is : 8 4 2 rainbow. I bet and he shoves...then he starts to eat Oreos and starts talking to it... Very weird. Should I call here?

What a looong 2 weeks!
  jkpickett, Jul 31 2008

So yeah the last two weeks pretty much blew (No LP 4 Me ) I was banned and had plenty of time to reflect on what a douchebag I was being. I don't really want this post to come off as lame, but oh well.

First thing, sorry Baal for always starting shit with you (again!) and putting you in the spot where you have to ban me. After lurking these last two weeks I understand why Baal is a mod. He is dedicated to keeping a well run forum and although is opinions are somewhat controversial, that doesn't mean he isn't entitled to them. He also does a good job at keeping the lowlifes away (see the "ROFL" thread and the whole Ronk vs. Pigeon Lovers).

Secondly, I saw that I wasn't exactly well liked by LP in my own right (for obv. reasons brought on by myself). I am hardly even known (and have been here for like 2 years). That is solely because I don't bring much to the forums.

So I guess I'm saying that I'd like a new start if that's possible. If I act like a tool in the future then please don't hesitate to point it out to me. I want to be able to bring some positivity to the forum like so many well respected members have brought to my game making me a better player. I could easily start a new screen name and leave my past trolling behind or go to a new forum, but LP is the best forum by miles. Plus I feel pretty bad for being a jerk to Baal and Loco (and even SKoT and Svenman87 in the past).

Most people don't really change and it might be hard to do it without some bumps in the road, but I want to at least try! That is why I am posting all this so it's on the record and I can come back for future reference. Take care guys and thanks for a great poker forum!

July
  Raidern, Jul 30 2008

hah I just named this post July because everyone is naming their posts July too, but I have nothing to say about my 'poker-month'.

Well, actually I do! I got ITM twice (:O) this month, in less than a week. But I paid +- $5-6 in those two tournaments and earned 28$ and 30$ respectively if I recall correctly. Anyway thats sad because I've seen people play 0.25 tournaments and earn 80$.

Cutting the bullshit, I don't play poker to earn money, just for fun (but If I win some I won't complain, dohh).

Ok this month has been weird. I had a bizarre dream that I only remember it because I made a post about. I've been enjoying not having classes everyday at night. Sometimes I even wish it stayed like that until the end of the year, but I cant stop my education, not right now when I'm so close to finish.

Last week a friend of my father asked me what I would want to work with, and to my and his surprise I said "I don't know". He was like "why are you studying law then?". And I didn't say to him, but I thought to myself "I don't know too". Sometimes I wonder if I'm doing things completely wrong.

To be honest there is no "profession" I really 'love' right now. But I'm not lazy, I like to work. I think people who think "I'm gonna be a designer" and really like it, and manage to do it, are 'lucky'.

Well I've decided I don't want to be a lawyer, but I think the 'major' law is very good. It gives you a really good perspective about how the society works, and the rules it (should) follow. So since I'm on this path I think I will end up being a public server, like a fed cop, or tax auditor. I like the idea of doing that.

Still, I don't 'LOVE' that stuff, and I wish I'd work on something I really like for the rest of my life. Well, I'm gonna end this right here, I could go on and on and on.

Here is a part I just deleted of this text:


  Me, I like to do a lot of things. I like the idea of being a journalist (probably sports journalist, I'm sick addicted to following sports and like to read about the history and statistics of the former and current top players of the sports I like following - same with Poker)



Maybe I should work as a journo, but I live in the end of the world and wouldn't ever have a salary better than 800usd. Not being a sports journo. Sad stuff.

$22 deepstack stake?
  CrownRoyal, Jul 28 2008

so none of my friends are online who usually are interested in these types of deals presumably because i have a fucked up sleep schedule and its 630am

anyone interested in staking me for this? it starts in 30 mins or so, 55/45 for you + stakeback

open to be staked in any other tournament for the next 6 hours too with a buyin over $5.

tourney day
  NeillyJQ, Jul 25 2008

i havent been able to deposit on stars for the last 3 weeks because i changed banks and my new atm card doesn't upload onto stars, so i haven't really been able to play at all lately,

since last night, I gave you'llcallme a hand winning his tournament and he shipped me $30 for a tip for helping him.

So today I take the $30 to the tournament circuit and luckbox a 2nd place in a 2.22 2x tournament for $600.

My roomate (gsr_01_integ) had 5% on me (as i did on him), so after that i clear $588 from $30.

I'm going to be playing alot of tournaments on stars and staying away from cash for now on. im sufficiently rolled to play up to the 5r and multiple $10 tournaments, but not the 10r just yet.

Feeling good, happy to be back,

oh btw, heres something to check out,

Help - Possible move up??
  eightfourO, Jul 24 2008

I don't know if i should move up or not?? Looking to get some advice on here... My buddy Moffa was telling me the other day that 10nl sucks balls but 25nl is like this magically money pit that is very easy to dominate. So i'm giving it a bit of a try, i'm playing 2 tables right now, nice and easy. I certainly don't have the roll right now to be ballin like 6 tables or anything... but this is what i have found so far in just like maybe 60 hands...steal steal, win nice pot...

basically busto again and i have no will to continue playing nl2 so i guess im done for a while maybe some people will stake me to play in some bigger tournaments or games or something but i have a pretty shitty record with all of that so doubtful

just gonna wait til i have enough money to deposit 500 or more if its even possible to still deposit after epassporte died.

First omaha HU session
  TianYuan, Jul 24 2008

Just a quick one (an hour or so). Started off 2 tabling (which was waaaay too much for me lol, I realized this after a bit tho), ended up down like just under half a buyin, oh well - just happens to be the exact same amount I won (8th or 9th place) in some 15$ PLO donkament

Definitely going to put in a lot of Omaha HU hands during the weekend (don't be lazy, one time!!).


The longest match was really interesting actually, it was about 200 hands vs some guy on iPoker. I was getting destroyed but amazingly I started picking up really, REALLY detailed reads which felt great. Things like how he was always stacking off after X, always potcontrolling when Y, etcetc. Felt good to be picking up on this stuff (I've always sucked HU).
I finished up 65 cents on him :D Which was a come back of sorts.

Some hands:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491403 - Eh. Not sure why I choose to play this preflop! Must have been a lil frustrated or un-focused (probably still 2 tabling). Anyway, it was the second straight time that he repotted me instantly when I led like this (although last time it was on the river..) andddddddd I should have folded cause I'm not sure he'd been as aggressive as I felt he'd been.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491404 - Argh@ turn!! He showed something weird like 5XXX

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491406 - His check = pot-control or give up, so I was going pot pot check or pot pot pot if board came off scary (ie flushdraw)

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491407 - This hand made me realize his fullpot bets = "I'm stacking off" and his checks = "I'm potcontrolling".

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491408 - Probably a preflop raise..? Anyway, on the river I'm trying to mimick the last hand sort of, I guess it kinda sucks that I can only really rep 69, 79, 89.. Hold'em mindset with 1 card straights I guess

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491411 - C/C = pot control = pot pot pot (I mean top 2 on this board in a reraised pot is obviously ALWAYS pot pot pot). This was the first time I observed it I think.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491412 - wee!

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491415 - I dislike my check here, he was not stabbing the turn at all. I like my river check tho, because he HAD been betting rivers more than turns. But yeah, bet bet bet >>>>> check, he didn't like folding.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491416 - he really really doesn't like folding

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491417 - I don't think I can c/r river..

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491419 - wow he really hates folding

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491421 - Hm, I had lots of spots like this where I wasn't sure I should bet the flop since I wouldnt know what to do vs a c/r (fold? not the nut wrap, fd out there).. Maybe bet fold these hands more.

Anyway, at the end he went on tilt or something when I said I was leaving in 20 hands, and started 3betting everyhand, raising every hand oop. Unfortunately ipoker dealt me 237K rainbow for 20 hands

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491430 - Failed limp RR, he'd been going INSANE.

I had a LOT of trouble deciding what hands to call with out of the BB, and I couldn't establish a good c/r dynamic (I swear he had ESP, everytime I wanted to c/r he potcontrolled -.- so I could never do it with a strong hand). I think my stats were way too tight and I probably need to work on identifying how the value of hands changes hu.

But HU omaha is pretty fun =]

Oh and, someone plz fix omaha hands for ipoker? Sucks that they do not display properly

Also, I kinda want to do something similiar to what I did back in december for my supernova challenge.. Maybe not 5k hands a day like back then but I need a goal.. Not sure what tho.

Session Review
  TianYuan, Jul 24 2008

Argh accidently clicked some button and lost everything I'd written just as I was about to copy paste the last hand :D Guess I'll re-do it.



2 hours or so of play. Obviously a very small sample but I'm very happy to finally have decent looking stats, especially the W$WSF. Need to spend some time in PT/Propokertools and figure out 3betting tho.

I'll probably start dipping my toes into the 1/2 games once I do figure it out.



Halpmeh!:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491075 - As i started this session I was listening to a DC plo video and they were talking about how in some situations you can be behind with the nuts (vs like fd and set, or fd and straight draw), and they suggested checking behind. In this case, I don't even have the nuts AND the board lends itself very well to them having fd+sd or fd+set.. Is it ok to check behind then call/call or call/vbet (maybe fold flushcard I suppose)?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491077 - Too many draws to bet the flop? Is betting the river a good idea (since he checked twice, he probably doesn't have THAT much) or do I have enough showdown value?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491078 - Villain is a regular, 2p2er I think, running like 30/15. Not played with him a ton. On flop I have a gutshot and FD so seems like an obligatory call at least (I don't know much about his 3betting range actually). On the turn I'm now double gutted (I didn't realize this at first) and I have 31% equity vs a set.. Do I get it in (I'm almost getting the odds to get it in anyway, and sometimes I'm winning vs a worse draw/have very good equity vs a worse draw w a pair)? At the time I didn't realize my equity was that good so I folded.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491082 - I'm thinking if he has a boat, I'm gonna get a lot of bets in on the river (or get c/r on the turn), and by raising turn I'm chasing all the draws away. On the river I think I need to at least raise and get the shortstacks money in since I can't rely on the last guy raising.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491085 - Anyone like a raise here (blockers to KQ) or a call and bluffing all pairs / valuebetting spades (obvioiusly)?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491089 - Bet turn? Valuebet river? After 2 checks I'd be surprised if I'm beat here but do I actually get called by anything?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491090 - This might be terrible.. Bet turn? Reasoning went something like.. he's very tight, the 9 is bad cause 9TXX is part of a million hands (then I realize he's in the BB :D), I fold out any draw.. Bet/bet/bet superior? If I bet turn and raise do I have to fold? (he's like 16/8 or something btw)

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491092 - Hand right after, same villain. Only seen him 3bet once, vs a halfstack where he made it slightly less than pot, then halfpotted a 89Xrainbow flop (or 87), then put the villain in for his last like 16 bucks on a 7 turn and the guy folded. I think he has aces most likely, and I'm in position with a not TOTALLY useless hand, getting an alright price, and my 3x raise means his 3bet wasn't very big.

On the flop do I raise or call? It's a great flop obviously but if I raise, do I only get played with when he has like a set or a NFD? If I call and turn comes this way, I'm obviously betting if he checks (and folding out AA** that bricked like always I'd assume) but if he bets again I just pass?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491097 - Probably best hand on turn, and a double gutshot.. On river, all the draws missed so I think I almost have to call :o

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491098 - The guy turned out to be quite a maniac (90/76) but at this time I'd only seen him 3bet me once (bvb, I called with 98TQ single suited, and we checked down a 8d 6h Qs 2c 2h where I folded to a pot bet on the river). Seeing as how he checked down his raggy AA here, should I be leading into him when I get a flop like this in the future, to prevent him from potcontrolling?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491099 - Call or fold preflop?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491102 - By now this was the 3rd time he 3bet me out of 3 opens (actually the hand above he coldcalled a 3bet so 3/4 opens then), my hand is a decent sized favorite over any 4, ship it in? I have 42% equity vs 4 random cards on the flop but Probably better to go with it preflop than on this flop?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491108 - When leslieace (who is not very good, but a regular of sorts) coldcalls, should I still 4bet my raggy AA**? The original 3bettor seems very bad by the way, saw him call down 2 streets with like 85** on a 854 2 club board. To this action, pretty easy muck on the flop I think.

Various:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491070 - Pretty terrible calls by him I'd say
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491071 - Standard I think.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491079 - Very standard I think
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491094 - Very standard.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491095 - Standard, but wow his equity is pretty good even with his FD dead.

Will go through PT and look for more hands later possibly, now dinner I suppose. Thanks for any input.

Also, I know 2p2 used to have these private tournaments (like super cheap), like 1 cent buyin for whenever they have one of their HU tournaments or something. Is it possible to create these yourself? I'd love to play a ton of these for practice.

EDIT: Hm, you can create your own tournaments on william hill (crypto) :D
