Bump + 2010 Goals etc. by PanoRaMa, January 03


Wrote an article on tilt control which you can find below, semi bump

Besides that my goals for 2010 are:
- $200k (I plan on doing well in WSOP this year obv)
- At least 600k hands (though to achieve $200k in purely online results it'd prob take a mil)
- 1knl reg by end of year, if I'm still focusing only on NL6max

I've also began compiling Expense Reports for each month, separated by things I needed and by things I wanted at the time, hopefully it'll cut down on my spending. I might also transfer my play to Stars, not sure yet. I'm for sure pretty sick of FTP.

Some hands I've uploaded lately:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/778018 - Seemingly kind of random, but every play here was a result of just knowing my opponent and his tendencies, the gist of it mostly was that he basically never has a made hand especially an overpair here, so I was flipping against an FD at worst, which is fine considering the FE I exercise prior to him jamming
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/781390 - Meh just a big pot cooler in my favor
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/783320 - From my -7.5k day, fistpump into a snap frown
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/783329 - Against same guy. Bleh, what can you do..
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/783332 - Against same guy, flop CiB in 3b pot
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/785088 - Get it in 60% 3way in a 2k pot at 2/4 ..

About it for now, GL everyone and your 2010 goals, it's gonna be a fun year

Calling 3bets DB check by LemOn[5thF], January 03


BOOOM. Database check.
I don't expect anyone to read this al, as its super boring. Please just scroll down and answer the couple questions I have prepared for you

Call 3bet preflop
http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/51dc9.KEKE.png




AQ
HAND1: We had quite a history with fellow LPer Lilzhiming at NL25, throwing stacks with QJo and 33 and stuff like that
+ Show Spoiler +


Still this breaks down to one fundamental mistake - I called a 4bet UTG oop with the intention to check fold when I miss and to stack off with hands that are dominated.

HAND2:
+ Show Spoiler +


Unknown, I raise UTG and flat his 3bet 5handed and do nothing in the hand (guess I was delayed floating?)
Well how could I? He was unknown

HAND3-X: Stack offs v shorties/midstacks. AQ is losing me moneyz, is this just variance? Do you stack off v unknown midstacks with AQ?
+ Show Spoiler +



HAND4:
Unknown again, check min raise, I don't see how I can get away from getting stacked, do you guys just fold PF?
+ Show Spoiler +



HAND5&6: I call when deep with the intention of check folding when I don't hit and to stack off with a dominated hand...
22/18 7% 3bet and a sweet spot to 3bet from his perspective.

Hand6 is where I call a 3bet from a total nit
+ Show Spoiler +


+ Show Spoiler +




2) 99
HAND1:
15/15/3/13WTSD 4/31 3bet (14%)
squeeze 1/5 opportunities prior to the hand

This looks so bad omg. This was so horribly misplayed. If I really think he is so wide I can float him for 100bb, this would be a 4bet/call preflop. Not to say my turn bet is retarded.

+ Show Spoiler +


Actually, lets look at 4bet shove as an option, because shoving is sexy, and 4bet calling will have virtually the same effect.
Shoving with hands that need fold equity is essentially a semi-bluff (e.g. any time you are shoving with AK against a regular you are semi bluffing), and shoving with 99 is nothing different in the said situation.


EV(semi-bluff) = X * Dead Money + (1- X) * [Equity * (Dead Money + Bet Size) - (1- Equity) * Bet Size]

Dead money=15

Equity= 35.775%

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 64.225% 64.03% 00.19% 223662072 681114.00 { QQ+, AKs, AKo }
Hand 1: 35.775% 35.58% 00.19% 124285716 681114.00 { 99 }


Bet size= 71.9

Fold Equity = X

EV= X*15 +(1-x)*[0.35775*(15+71.9)-(1-0.35775)*71.9]
0= 15x +(1-x)* (31.088475-46.17775)
0=15x +(1-x)(-15.089275)
0=15x-15.089275+15.089275x
0=30.089275x-15.089275
0=x-0.50149
x=0.50149

50% of the time he has to fold - this should be an easy 4bet/call or direct shove with the information we have at the moment if he calls only QQ+ AK as we are deep. It gets worse if he calls/shoves JJ but folds AQs, but it should still be profitable if I believe he 3bets more than 7% of his hands (88+, ATs+, KTs+, AQo+)

If anything it will be WAY better than calling and spewing like I did in the hand



HAND2:
80bb out the window against unknown.
+ Show Spoiler +



HAND3: I rep the ace, and then CALL when he is making an obvious BLOCKBET? what the fuck.
Don't raise turn or shove river, there is nothing in between and when I have a read I have to go with it when I raise turn.
+ Show Spoiler +





3) Broadways

HAND1-X: I shouldn't go calling KQo against unknown with any other intention to hit 2pair+ when they raise small or to see showdown as cheaply as possible.
Another example of not sticking to my PF plan, and I will be better of just pitching especially the unsuited broadways preflop or go to 4bet/fold.

+ Show Spoiler +


+ Show Spoiler +



HAND2: This is missplayed a lot.
Ok, I call preflop to get a dream flop. Thats why I call, to shove flops like this one. Yet I decide to float.

This is really bad, and I should check flop only if I want a free river card. I put my stack in anyway, but I didn't do it on the flop with 50% equity, but on the turn with 30%.
+ Show Spoiler +




Development Points:
- Don't call 3bets without a plan (plan=c/f on total blanks = 4bet or fold)
- Stick to my plan (99 hand) if I don't have a plan, FOLD PREFLOP.
- don't call 3bets while multitabling, 4bet or fold unless call is the only option.


Questions
1)AQo - do you stack off against random mid stacks at NL50,NL100 when you get 3bet?
2)Can you provide examples of your plan against what villains when calling 3bets preflop other than check fold with broadways etc?
What hands are you calling to a 3bet and why?



P.S. For those that got this far, here is some reward( NSFW), I really appreciate any contribution.

Moved up to 50nl by Mariuslol, January 03


May sound weird but feels pretty scary, not played that much on here. But I notice I really feel it when I lose a stack, 100e just seem so much, and I think, crap, that's 5bi at 20nl. And I'm trying to feel if I'm playing scared after that, didn't feel like I was on tilt or anything wrong, but when I lost a few all ins in a row I just closed the tables.

Grrrr

hand 1: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/785060
hand 2: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/785059
hand 3: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/785058
hand 4: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/785057
hand 5: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/785040

First day at NL5 by phrenik, January 03


Today was my first shot at NL5 and it went pretty well. Up just over 3 BI's in 1079 hands. If I keep up this pace I'll be done NL5 in about a week. I did make some terrible calls and I paid off big pocket pairs with small/medium pocket pairs way too many times. Also got check/minraised on 4 of my 7 biggest losing hands. I guess I need to give any aggression more credit, even if it's a minraise. It doesn't really feel much different than NL2 at all, although there seem to be a few more players with stats that I can 3bet light against.

Ran into some crazy hands. In this one the action makes no sense at all. I raised a minbet on a 3way flop (admittedly probably too small) with second pair and got min-reraised, the original bettor called the reraise and I called behind, quite confused. The turn brought three to a flush and the original bettor donked small. With only 2nd pair I decided I'd had enough and folded, and the two left in the hand proceeded to minraise each other until they got all-in. Then they turned over 3rd and 4th pair. I sat there in shock, the only relief was the fact I would have gotten sucked out on.
+ Show Spoiler +

This hand a player folded to a $0.10 bet into a $4.67 pot on the river when he had $0.07 left behind. Once again, shock.

Math problem (regarding fpp) by RaiZ, January 03


Warning, newb math here (been a long time i've not done math)
I'm only silverstar statut, so here's the deal :
How much do i need to win the 280 fpp hyper turbo S&G (6max) in order to make more profit than the 25000 fpp for 285$ with selling T$ to LP (forget the additionnal vpps for clearing the 285$ bonus) ?

With my maths, i need to win 1 time out of 3 in order to make profit but i'm not sure if i've made it right.
Plz feel free to correct me. If needed i'll ship 5$ (i'm a nl5 grinder, it's not much but hope it helps)

Thank you very much.

The wrap up by NewbSaibot, January 03


Little late getting to my year end results, mainly because I didnt even bother looking. But after deciding to do so, I think I actually have something to be proud about.

2009 earnings:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/62ebf.2009.jpg

I made monies! But whats so great about this, is compared to my 2008 losses, which is when I first took up ye ole game of poker.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/18466.2008.jpg

And hey, look at that, only -8BB/100, so not like I was a total donk out of the gate!

So, I have improved! This is great! It means I am learning something afterall! I'm still waiting for my next real landmark, the $0 point. As sad as that sounds, I actually dont feel depressed looking forward to the day I break even. But I do think I'll get there, and much much further.

That is all. Happy new year you smelly bastards.

P.S. This does not reflect live earnings, of which I added up from my ATM deposits to be roughly $500.

P.P.S. We are also considering moving to vegas. More on that later.

December etc by Chobo1, January 02


Happy New year everyone, hope ya'll had a good party.

I recently moved into my new apartment here in Bangkok. I was living with 2 other poker players for nearly a year here so we all eventually decided to see what it is like if we were to split up and get our own apartments. I think it was a really good idea 'cos somehow now i feel much more independant.

pics of my apartment: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=171063&id=671035228&l=5fee5e9b26


Poker has been going OK i guess, if u put into account how much i've been spending thus hindering me from moving up stakes. Playing the $6.5 18 man sngs mostly. had a really bad roi% due to mostly having some leaks once I get ITM (playing too loose) and prob playing too many tables as well. With the fpps rakeback i made and some small tournament cashes i made around $2.8k in December. Which puts my hourly to a miserable $21/hour

New years was really fun went to one of my fav clubs (Route66). i put up some vids:








....if the embeded vids don't work i put up some direct links..too bad they are full screen though.

info on variance by Vchua1987, January 02


I've been playing NL10 and sometimes I lose like 6-8 buys in one session, but im rarely ever up that much in one session. Is that normal? I usually multi table. Sometimes I can't tell if i'm running bad or playing bad.

December... by RaiZ, January 02


Was ridiculous.
http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/1433/sanstitrewfx.jpg

I'll let you guess against whose i'm losing the most.
Obviously fishes because they'd never fold, just call even their 3rd or 4th pair...
Really need to stop spewing money against those donks cauz i'm even more stupid when i make like pot sized bet on river with nothing.
God.
Hope this January i'll wait for good hands and move up to nl25 asap... Then see if my read and bluffs are better...

Peace.

Database check by LemOn[5thF], January 02


Tilt, lets go find some leaks -.-

1) Preflop Raise - standard
http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/2d71f.KEKE.png

2)3bet - as expected, the profitability goes down from NL10 to NL100 gradually.
Still this potentially can be something I can improve upon, I will refresh Professor Plotkin to get the math behind 3bets right and try to push them higher.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/6a910.KEKE.png


Facing steal AND 3bet in SB and BB

http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/fdcd1.KEKE.png
Call 3bet preflop - leak, kinda obvious one.
I don't play back too much in 3bet pots. I have to watch Plotkin and fix this, I really am calling just to fold when I miss way too often.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/92bc7.KEKE.png



4bet PF yeah, I spew and level myself wayyy too much
http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/93e79.KEKE.png
+ Show Spoiler +


Call preflop raise
What the fuck? :D must be mostly NL50 and NL100 since I started 4tabling
http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/b4bc1.KEKE.png


22-66 not perfect, not perfect at all
http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/20ae7.KEKE.png

Low SC and gappers - the upswing is recent when 4 tabling, I think this is a clear indication that I should tigten up when I don't play my A game soul reading all over the place on 4 tables.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/9f20e.KEKE.png


All hands minus broadways when raised PF
http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/1816d.KEKE.png



Well, my PT3 froze now daaaam. Its 1:20 anyway, I will analyse this tomorrow and add more graphs and try to get some conclusions together/areas to focus on.

If you guys could tell me what other filters are significant in terms if leak finding, that would be much appreciated.

Please note that these hands are from NL10-NL100 from past two months as I played them (NL10-NL25-NL50-NL100 as I moved up)

NL10 Improvement ! (I think) by hiems, January 02


I think I am getting used to playing NL10. I posted how frustrated I was about NL10 yesterday night. And since then I have made some adjustments. Namely, not stacking off so easily in big pots. Having this more "cautious" approach has definately made me value bet worse, but I think I can gradually adjust to this and I hope to do well at balancing the two in the future.

I reduced the tables I play to at first 10 tables. This has helped alot. I plan on increasing the number of tables gradually, as I feel for a Full Ring player, the ability to multitable well is really important.


I logged in 5400 hands since last night. It starts around hand 62000, and I think the graph points to a significantly lower variance style. Notice the decrease in variance near the end of the graph.

I hope to keep this up. I think I can do it. But wish me luck anyway!

TY for reading.

PS - thumbs up to Midan and Iverson2k2k. Gave me confidence after losing alot of it yesterday.
