HH review - Page 2

97: i think flatting pre is ok but vs this guys kind of stats i probably just 3bet pre and hope to take down the dead money. i also like raising flop as it is not that wet and even with 2 players he should be c-betting a ton, but not super-dry to the point where raising is just blatantly dubious (i.e. 822r). also players with his stats are often pretty barrely and you are put in kind of a dicey spot if you hit a pair or something on turn and he bets again. not that you should always avoid marginal spots, but it seems like a good idea at 16nl.

i think your turn and river barrels are ok but i would bet river smaller since you're basically just trying to get him to fold his better air/better missed draws. also a really fucking weird way to play JJ by him, but he got max value so either he has a read on you or is clicking buttons and got lucky.

AK: i have no idea what this is, i guess you're 3-betting his c/r to rep air and get called light. seems super-fps to me and i don't really see how it can be good without a very specific read.

TT: well obviously 5% is a low 3-bet but i guess you felt he was squeezing disproportionately more in these kinds of spots...but taking the hand at face value it's definitely bad. probably start thinking about this if his 3b is 9%ish in a nutshell but obviously depends on positional 3b% (which you could be checking since you have 649 hands on him)

KQ: looks good/standard, like everything including the betsize.

JT: flop standard, turn just bet, if he's an aggrotard he can also spazz-shove worse stuff...also river definitely deserves some consideration if you've never seen him overbet before (although can't really fault a call).

KT: yeah looks fine other than the random 2.68 left on the river.

K7: super standard imo.

not looking at the rest for now

I guess u are not defender as u are seemingly too creative in poker... Btw love the game myself. I've played up to 2nd division in Finland, but had to let it go as I am a pro in another sport and cant deal with the possible injuries of floorball. yeah so u play Ice hockey and u think u're better than me ? :D Okay so Ima bit weird think our of he box creative, different than other people... guess what position I'm rly unsure about floorball myself - I used to play highest Czech Division, was in wider Junior national team but for tons of effort you get no monetary rewards these days even if you reach the top. I love the game, it forces social contact and scheduled exercise but all training and games are in poker peak times. meh what's your take on it if it were your main sport and u could play highest league but were a poker pro?

Nope, I'm not a hockey player, but even if I was I wouldn't think I'm any better. I respect all sports at competitive level. People put in their souls to improve and thats the greatness in all sports.

About your position, I have stick with my initial gut feeling that you are LW. But you make it sound like you are tending the net...?

I think its easily doable to play poker for living and be a pro in floorball. The training sessions are not too long to take all day even if u train 2 times a day. Mostly you are in your home city/ring playing. You have to have 2-3 days rest in a week anyway if u wanna keep your joints together.
My sport takes a hellova lot more time daily and focus. I make a lot of training camps and long competition trips in a year (last year I was on the road for 152 days, made 179 physical trainings, and did 221 training/competition sessions/days in my sport, had 113 days off totally from sport some of which were during my 32 days of travelling. Yes I keep track monthly on training etc amounts in time usage. And I also managed to drink a lot of alcohol and partying too ) and still was able to play poker quite well. Of course not as much and focused as I wanted but it was satisfactory.
If youre a tournament pro, then its a bit more difficult, but as a cash game player its easily doable. Just have to know your body well to keep proper energy and time management to find peak moments to play poker.
Also you have to be able to mentally separate yourself from your team mates on trips when youre not playing/training. With this I mean not to be attached mentally to others all the time. Poker is an individual sport and the mindset has to be quickly changed from teamwork to solo work.
I personally feel there is two things u can focus properly on simultaneuosly in life, for me its sport and poker. But if you add say school to this it becomes impossible i think. Obviously better to have just one thing to focus on but its not easily arranged.
