Intro to my blog and some hand analysis

very nice hands, if I was playing NL50 I'd be very interested, but I have a ways to go :/ nice entry though

ty sir, keep ur blog updated, i´ll keep reading it with interest

post some hands you misplayed as well and analyse them as well

Its nice to see deep analysis street by street, if nothing else it puts me in the mindset to think more deeply about my own hands

lol is this a level?

I think the players sitting on the left of the bigblind is "under the gun" and not the cutoff.

Interesting blog entry however, I'd say you need thinking opponents to make advanced plays such as in hand #1 and most smallstakes players dont think at all. But as you said, that's interesting for players who want to move up to midstakes.

good read

keep it up

for a 4-handed blind vs blind situation between players who have an aggro history, hand 2 seems pretty standard. tbh i think moloch probably should've 4betted his AQs pf but i wasn't there obv so who knows.

hand 1 no thoughts on really, except you said he opened from the CO and unless i read the HH wrong it looks like he opened UTG? anyway other than that...i think you have to know a little more about him besides "31/21" to know if this 3-barrel is profitable (which you probably did). you said you put him on a jack, so if he has a jack and calls the turn why the hell would he fold the river?

but anyway nice blog keep it up!

if you're gonna post this might want to elaborate

Excellent
Very inspiring and educational

your reasoning in hand 1 is almost backwards
help i am confused

Excellent first post. I might suggest including second-level hand ranges; which hands you put him on, and which hands he puts you on.

nice

gj dude

I think you folded out AA/KK in hand 1, doubt he folds a jack

This is cool, wish we could see more of this from other high level players

this is long

but hi

ok I must be smoking crack because I was almost positive this post was a total level
this seems to me to be completely basic analysis and in some spots very incorrectly applied reasoning and poor grasp of the situation.. either that or you're leaving out huge essential chunks of reasoning/thought processing etc.

and fwiw you come off as an extremely pretentious ass - talking as though you're a veteran of MSNL because you've been "consistently" beating NL$400 and NL$600 for "2-months". 2 months as in 20k hands? 2 months as in 100k hands? I mean if I'm as off-the-mark as I seem to be here I seriously need to quit poker, either that or you're misguiding quite a few people here.

Thanks, and you are right. I misread the HH when I was posting the first hand, I actually played it earlier last week, and I kinda rushed myself when I was going through hands to use for analysis. On second look, I am sure I called preflop because I thought I had good implied odds since he opened UTG. I would never 3bet in that situation.

I don’t know why ipokeder didn’t 4bet AQ preflop, I was beating down on him pretty badly and had stacked him twice before this hand both in very marginal situations, so I’m sure that had a lot to do with his poor play, apparently I’ve heard from a few he’s really good so I can’t really comment too much on what he was thinking, other than the fact that he was probably tilting, which of course was another important factor in making the call.

As to why I felt olson would fold the river if he called the turn, basically because we were playing 200bb deep, and an instajam when the board pairs the river of the card I felt he was holding is repping a set 100%. He would have to think that I am capable of triple barrel bluffing all in for 200bb w/ absolute air to make a call w/ any jack there as I am definitely not representing AJ/KJ/JT in this spot.
