[ ] 150k hands in cash games, any limit
[ ] NL50 reg
[ ] raise 3-bet percentage, and improve play in 3-bet pots
Happy New Year LP! Here's my results for the last few days since starting cash games again after nearly a 4 month break from them. This is my first time playing 6 max, so I feel like I have millions of leaks, so if anybody could look at my stats and help me out, that'd be great. Also, I think I should be moving to NL50 soon, but I guess I want to get in a proper amount of hands first before moving up. http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/1178/asdf2h.jpg http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/8018/asdfj.jpg

first real day of 5 tabling 25NLby moonk379, January 03
i got a few hours in playing 5 tables 25NL and i did extremely well. im usually a sng player but lately i've been gettin crushed by variance so i thought i try cash and im loving it. u get to play wayy more hands and money rarely gets all in pre which i like. and on top of that to get ready for cash game, i read a awesome poker book yesterday which i feel like it made me like 100 times better because i got new insights on the game itself and how to read and react to certain spots. well heres the graph of first half of todays session. hope to do this everyday and move up to 200NL soon xD and can someone tell me the details of these graphs? i just started using pt3 today and i didn't even know about the HUD thing until it just randomly popped on my poker tables =/ and can someone tell me the best way to customize the HUD settings and what the stats are about? thanks ^^
4 tabling 50NL, first vidby transparentb, January 03
Alright so here's my first video that I said would be coming around now. It's about an hour long @160mb.
* note there's a hand where I back-raise AQ that's totally butchered; I thought the squeezer was a short stack for some odd reason and was trying to re-iso. I also probably use some incorrect terminology and do some dumb stuff at one point or another but I'll improve as I make more.
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.
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

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.

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 }
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

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.

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 +

- 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.
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.
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 +

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)
alternative software for ipod video halp?by whamm!, January 03
I've have a 3 year old ipod video which i barely use for songs and vids coz i cant understand itunes at all. i hate how fucking complicated things are when all i realy wanna do is fucking drag and drop shit like a regular computer. is there any other software out there you guys know of which can simplify/convert-real time everything?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
