So I have been Chatting with KillthemDonks and after while I got an idea of analysing my graphs, and what not and then deleting my PT3 database to have a 'Fresh Start' ;p
It is about three months since I started playing poker, and I became a NL25 reg by now I believe.
However, I have never really tried hard to review my sessions, but something recently made me to.
I came from +7ptBB/100 to a big loser, hitting incredibly bad runs over past 30K hands. Really ridiculous series of coolers and suckouts. I still think that even with so many leaks I beat NL25 when I run normal, but as always in downswing it is time for a major review, as I will hardly find motivation to do it once the things will go into normal again.
We will be looking at past 15 days since I started 9 tabling NL25 because of the ridiculous VPP promo, and each blog post will cover one area where I think I made some systematic mistakes.
Graph1-Raise first in
Raise First in winnings seem to go down when WTSD kinda badly. Was it just because of the downswing?
Lets have a look Small SC T9s-23S, raise first in
Not nice is it? Red line a zero, winnings deep down.
1) I call 3bet when faced with a steal raise when I was at the table for 18 hands.
Than I try to represent a set on a drawy board to a villain that cannot have any idea how we play, and will push probably any overpair.
4Bet PF if I believe he is 3 betting very lightly when defending, or fold pre. Huge bluffs like this without history are stupid.
a+ Show Spoiler +
I actually found A SECOND HAND LIKE THIS, again with low history.
Generally I seem to call 3bets with low sc wayy too much.
b+ Show Spoiler +
c+ Show Spoiler +
2) During my deep tilt, I started raising 5BB+X at this table with the 50VP fish. I think if I decide to do this and I know he will call I can, but only with a high card hand and not a drawing one, as I am voluntarily killing my implied odds here.
Once on the flop I am faced with standard raise it and make a note situation (donks bet small on dangerous boards and it can mean either crap, draw or nuts- same thing with each villain usually but by no means an universal thing), but my raise is unnecessarily big - 2.80 would do the trick if he has air, especially against a fishy villain who hardly makes difference in raise sizes.
EDIT: Rockman actually noted that its better to do the raise only with outs /as a semi-bluff, thoughts?
It has to work about 40% of the time if I raise $3 against unknown.
a+ Show Spoiler +
3)Now I decide to second barrel against an unknown shortie.
Although this would make a lot of sense against a reg who likes to float or just calls once with PP, against a shortie who is presumably a huge station I should not do it.

4) SC UTG. I found myself raising 67s+ sometimes from the UTG. Would you do it on nitty tables? Or just stay tight EP and open with more junk MP to LP?
a+ Show Spoiler +
b+ Show Spoiler +
c+ Show Spoiler +
5) Huge Tiltspews
Monkey Villain - Me calling turn without odds...wtf
a+ Show Spoiler +
He had actually low aggro factor, putting him on a draw 3way was retarded
b+ Show Spoiler +
T9s UTG raise, and huge spew against 11/7 villain.
c-bet and shutdown on such board. I actually think I could second barrel against some regs easily, but against this villain it will never work often enough
c+ Show Spoiler +
70VP 50WTSD fish. Although he could easily have the draw here, there are so much better spots to beat him this is a huge spew.
d+ Show Spoiler +
6) Combo straight flush draw on turn-
+ Show Spoiler +
Raise Turn?
What to change:
-Don't call 3bets with low sc
-Prefer High card value hands against 50VP+ fishes in blinds when I raise 4BB+Xbb
-Don't make big bluffs against unknowns
-Raise way less small SC UTG, UTG+1
More? -thats where you come in ;o
EP2 will be : 3BET (expect a big one)
Calling a PF raise
Because:

At NL25 I don't think there's any need to raise anything but premiums UTG or even UTG+1 and go down to like KJs as you see fit
much better to play stuff like SC's in pos imo |

yeah as a general rule you should raise your sc's suited gappers when theres a good chance to play in position headsup with someone who will fold alot of flops, or just sucks , and not be the initial raiser in a spot where you're likely to a) be completely oop or b) get a ton of calls
edit (or c) get 3bet too often from people still to act)

some of those 3bet pots you linked are so gross T_T its okay to defend with higher sc's if you think the guy is 3betting it wide then you just want something that can connect with a flop, otherwise you shouldnt be calling. but don't go nuts with stuff like 45 on 778 o_O raise folding is really -ev in general
(if you had like 9T on this flop, it wouldn't be that bad to just reshove the flop cbet and look for some fe // avoid herocalls, heroshoves from like AK) but alot of this bases around how wide the guy is actually 3betting and i am guessing most people you're playing with simply aren't 3betting light enough to justify any sort of playing back. |
