Short week I had some mindset issues but I have some ways that I can improve on that. I think I made upgrades to my game this week and I want to see how it carries over into the coming weeks. Not a great week from a monetary standpoint but I think I had my most well rounded week in that I did many things well.

This week my scheduling was much better. I was in bed by the latest midnight everyday and up between 6 & 8 after which I would answer hand histories in the forums, study equities, and work on ranges for about an hour and then start grinding. I like that way of going about things but I probably need to set aside some more time post grind to do additional studying so that is something I will try to include for next week.

The last hand I would not check turn as a standard. I just go 15-20 or something get AK calls protect vs KQ hands and often they just call AA too and I xb river seems much better plan than paying that off otr.

Come back time lets go!

Was on a bit of a hiatus but I need breaks too. This week is going pretty well and my blind results are very good so I hope to keep that up throughout the week. There was a very productive group coaching this week which I think will help the w/r as well and I have enjoyed implementing some new strategies.

I think it is a fold but nobody else said it so maybe i'm way off.
100% steal in 7 hands? so we are making note of this?
If villain has hands like T2 then it is a call but what if it is a semi tight range? It is an easy fold in that case. You don't know his range here so shouldn't you play based on what a decent range would look like? Which would mean AQo is -ev. You got to see a J9s or something imo before you call this. I feel like this play is like "This player is likely bad so i'll make a bad call" kind of thinking. I suppose AQo is on that borderline spot so vs a fun player there is always a bull shit factor so call can be ok but I would toss it and play as if it was a pro midstack range untill I see different.

What is BSS strategy? Good luck with the coach.

If you are now experimenting with this strategy it seems more likely that you will be the one making mistakes over your opponents because i'm sure they experienced the player type you are trying to emulate.

I don't think many 200nl regs are making mistakes vs min 5b range so not to say it is a bad strategy because it's not but it is not going to be some big exploit which is the impression I get from your post.

As for sizing slightly more than their raise size seems good to me. They 4b 12bb more I make it another 15bb on top of that something like that. Example I 3b 8bb they make it 20bb I make it 35bb.

Maybe someone who knows more about "balance" than I can chime in but why would you min 5b bluff a villain who has low fold to 5b for example? Or at least low enough that the bluff is not autoprofit? I would personally just use it as an exploitive strategy for villains who 4b/f to much as a bluff and as for value I guess add in some premiums so you have value in that range but like I said I don't think it will make 200nl regs make mistakes such as shoving their KTo bluffs or something so for value doesn't seem to make a difference if you 5b jam or min 5b.

Postflop range as PFR COvBU
I would appreciate any feedback thanks.

This is how the week went not great but in the black so i'll move forward.

Will release a video shortly on a board I have been working on.

I have been focusing on blind play the last couple weeks as it seems improving that area will have a direct impact on overall win rate and so i've been experimenting a bit. My next post might be about what I found that worked and how i'll keep improving on this area.

Really frustrated this week I never really got things going so I didn't post sooner. I may or may not do a review tomorrow (Sunday) I wanted a big week but I can't control results and I didn't play amazing anyway. I will post something tomorrow but I did spend a lot of off table hours this week and I feel better about some spots but still lost in others.

Will talk soon.

I lost a lot last week and made it back this week so the last two weeks I didn't make any money so I would not call my self a good player just yet. I mentioned in the video I worked on the areas that cost me the week before and I did better in those areas and the overall result was better which was the plan.

I get coached yes and I study often so some credit goes to my coach for helping me focus on certain things and i'll give my self a little credit as well for putting in some off table work. I still have very far to go before I would call my self "good" but I hope I get there.

Weekly review

You can have my skype if you like pm me and we can chat but as I have my coach going over my stats with me already I think it might do me more harm than good to get other opinions.

Weekly review

Very poor week, most of the losses are at 100nl as I felt my game wasn't right so I played mostly there. Next week will mostly be 100nl also while I try to fix my game.

I played it a few thousand hands at HU it was pretty fun. It takes some really good lines at times that I stole from it. It called a 4b with TT and xc|donk shove a low board I thought was really cool.

I used snowie a bit it is ok. It is not gto if you didn't know though. But if it marks hand for you to look at that seems good.

Not the way I wanted to end my day but shit happens. I started the day well and decided to take a mid stakes shot thinking worst case scenario is I end up where I started. It didn't go that well I lost a bit and then took a break. Came back to my stakes and lost some more to finish b/e. I am ok with my decision and I know this won't be the last time my day goes like this so I will just accept it.

Ok then xr will work even less. I don;t think ppl can just go nuts with xr just because a lot of a flop cb range are bluffs.

I meant we can make a strong tp on that type of board that we can value bet later.

If villain has a polarized range then he will have more weak hands to bet flop with but bluffs often have equity too and it is correct to bluff a lot otf so there is nothing really to exploit. You should raise a fair bit to cb yes but just because villain may have say KQ on 952 doesn't mean he will b/f. If villain is decent they will not simply fold because they don't have a strong hand.

don't balance imo.

A lot of cb seems good like 80%+ or so seems good on the 852 and some xr too.
the other board probably overs esp the good ones that can 3brl like KQ.

Villain can have 2:1 bluffs otf because on every street villain drops some bluffs and by the river his range just becomes more value. You could do some hand examples to see how that works.

If pot is $12 and villain bets $8.50 you defend around 55-58% somewhere in there.

I didn't put in any thoughts because it is just entertainment where I make some good plays some bad plays, I get lucky and unlucky. It is not to difficult to put in comments but yeah it was just supposed to be something fun to see.

1. It was ok but maybe not great. I think it was like a 3/5.
2. It is simply my weakest Jxs cc BUvCO and I cc on the looser side. I only have a 1/2 bet vs skip sizing atm with everything. Villain had 20% xr so he just has more hands to b/f with that is all, normally I will call.
3. I just have psb for this type of hand on this board.
4. No he is never folding better.
5. I have a small 5b range in this spot so I just have to small 5b AA everytime or my bluffs get in to much trouble. + I think it is max ev with AA. The fact that I have a redraw leads me to want to play multiple streets here. I might possibly be b/f'ing here so I like the small size.
6. I simply don't have a cc range here except for special cases. Overbetting would be cool I just thought he was weak so I thought smaller would be more +ev (and it was).
7. I am not sure which is higher ev to call or raise but I just like raising cb in 3bp so when I get the chance I take it a lot.
8. It might be better to just flat here I just noticed with villain's range I have the best hand a lot and villain was hyper active so I thought I would get action I would like.
9. There is $160 or so in the pot and villain has $12 behind I don't know how he can fold anything.
10. My coach saw this hand and suggested I shove river as well. My thought process I look like a thin vb and can induce action and an overbet would scare off non flushes. My coaches thought process is if villain is overfolding to river jam then start bluffing.
11. That would be a cool line but I already had the plan to take the line I did so I was planning to play for stacks.
12. My coach saw this hand too and thinks although this is the right hand to do it with he doesn't think ppl hero fold flushes and str8s enough and thinks maybe I should not have a bluff range here. It worked so i'm still undecided.
13. This hand and the KQo hand in the beginning both very similar spots and I got called by better twice so maybe you are right. In both I thought I could get pp calls or light calls as I don't look like tp+ and I also thought in both hands that ppl would not check stronger otr and just jam themselves. I was wrong so maybe you are right.

"Btw, you're sunrunning, dude!" I thought this was normal no? Ok I admit i'm running well and it is really helping at times I don't play to well.

Thanks so much for going through the hands like you did I really appreciate it and i'm glad you enjoyed it.

Usually about 45 days but I had/have been playing a lot of 100nl as well.

I made this video of some fun hands I played.
