Challenge update:
Today was day 1 of 10NL. Started with like 190$ and wanted the transition to begin smoothly. Didnt want to go on a downswing and have to go back to grinding 5NL which IMO is a joke. Anyways, managed to win 5 buy ins and am gonna be calling it a day.
Roll is at like 240$ so im now pretty confident i have enough to play 10NL properly and not kinda under-rolled.
I'm trying to widen up my range a bit and my stats are looking kinda crappy (gap between VPIP and PFR is way too wide ). also my agression is non-existent.
Don't feel as though im playing passively, its just that im kind of accomodating their need to put money into the pot with worse hands so im kinda check calling more than i usually do . At the end of the day, i guess its working but want to focus on playing well so that i can win consistently.
Also players here seem to be worse than 5NL. Seems like they are a bit over aggro without really knowing what they are doing. Could be that its the weekend. Let's see how this goes.
this is the 10NL i have so far. (todays hands) . Wish me luck.
and my overall monthly graph for all 2,5 and 10NL. Such a beauty. Hope i can keep this going. ( there are 40$ unaccounted for cause i have 240$ and started the challenge with 4$) Guess they got lost when my HM2 crashed this morning) oh well.

AT river is a tad thin, but seeing as he's full stacked its prolly fine. I might actually go smaller to around 2.40 but can't really see much wrong if anything at all.
7T prob just bet 1/2 for value on turn vs TP+draw hands and such.
KQhh I think is just bad all around, which im sure you already figured. Depending on MP stats, I just fold pre a lot tbh, hate flatting OOP and will pretty much never 4b. Flop there is absolutely no solid 'why' to min donking at all, and not much reasonable 'why' to 3betting. Once we do 3bet and he flats, i'm firing turn though. Really don't know why you complicated the hell out of this hand?

Fold or 3b more/stop flatting a ton.
Edit: just looked, 23/16 isnt terrible so you only need to make a couple tiny adjustments IMO. And another edit. Get a sample first. Because you could've played just fine. Some sessions will go that way and could still be played perfectly.

You mean over calling ofc. But Idk, we're getting good odds, but our hand sucks and doesn't hit many flops well enough. Like this board is a dreammmm for this hand whereas most boards we give up, so I fold pre here almost always unless 2+ fish OOP before me or somethin like that.

I have no idea what the hell i was doing in that hand. His sizing seemed weak and i kinda went crazy for no reason. thankfully jezus stepped in and saved my sorry ass.😛
Blobweird123 said:
Yea Blob thanks alot for advice man. Will see how it goes.
JOEBOB69 said:
Yea i was kinda priced in and my hand wasn't THAT bad to see a flop i guess + its heavily disguised if i hit some kinda crazy straight or flop a boat or smthng.lol.( esp on da button)
"I DID OVERPLAY IT A BIT,YEA (but draw was so strong it felt right. Generally speaking its risky business and i try to avoid insane variance )"
Our draw really isn't all that strong tbh. We have bottom end of straight draw so when J comes, Qx is ahead. We could already be pretty dead to QJ. Our FD isn't the nuts and we can never say that they never have a higher FD. So overall I don't see our draw being that strong here. I'm actually bet folding here a lot.

ATo - i cant say that i would play it any different, wp imho
T7c - you would be 54% fav if you had oesd&fd on flop with two cards to come, on a turn you are roughly 30% (i dont know if the rule of two also subtract 1% for every out over 9 or not), now i hit spoiler and all i can say i WTF is worng with BB :banghead: wait right, they were suited...😀
KQh - weird 😀 what was your intention with min donk flop and 3-bet? Fold? Rest of it is fine if you have note or info that he is a fish, which probably you do have because i dont see you playing like that vs unknown
88 - raise flop maybe as a semi bluff? beside that wp
77 - my inner donk would shove flop, also wp, nh

Looking at it again, your absolutely right. Lemmme rephrase then: " In the heat of the moment while 4 tabling Rush, while glimpsing at that table , the draw looked better than it actually was. 😛"
Thanks blob though. your right. Definitely overplayed that hand.

Thnks man.Yea i have noticed a huge improvement myself. And the funny thing is I think tilt control is what has made the difference. that and having all these great and already winning cash game players giving me advice on how to get good.
Lets see how 10NL goes man. Maybe i can go through it in like 1 week if im lucky. 😛😛😛 that...........OR GO BUSTO.🙂
A couple of interesting hands. Just warming up with these amateurs.😛

im prob just ripping 99 pre v a shorty tbh.
88 pre looks good
flop looks good
turn check???? why he has heaps of over pairs with a diamond, he also has smaller sets etc and some flushes/straights etc that we have good equity against.
turn jam is a bit optimistic but i think the turn checks is the action i hate the most
