On a side note. Roll grew ALOT by playing some slot machines last week. not gonna get into details but im grinding all over the place and recently added some 50NL heads up.

Heres some interesting hands that prove how LUCKY i am.
I guarantee you that your gonna love them.

This is what heads up looks like so far.
Lol. Love your posts man. 1000 hands is a small sample though buddy, keep us posted. Where both hands against the same guy? If so in 2nd hand you have 15 outs, 30% equity. If you think he's going to stack off regardless with that SPR then calling 20 to win all of his 64 is 3-1-ish so seems ok to me, especially if he's going to tilt as well which is a distinct possibility if he hasn't already. Not by any means an epic fail.
Please people pull up my maths if wrong.

I dont know if the turn call is correct in the second hand but it felt like i had so many outs at that point and felt like it was kind of like a dream turn card for me. Not sure if calling is correct though. I think jamming in that spot might be better but im really not sure. cause if i call that turn bet and whiff river im gonna have to sigh fold which is really pathetic esp since ive commited so much intot the pot already.
I hear ya marg and really thanks for the words of wisdom. i know your looking out for your boy vinyl and i appreciate it.
If you look at the hands that i posted from the 50NL heads up i played, the rake is both .50 cents in both hands and they were both more than 100$ pots.
I thought the rake was lower than what it is at 10NL.
Am i confused?

yea both hand were against the same guy.he got up and left than i sat down with another guy that was called something like "supergoodxx" and he was exactly what his name suggested. I left after dropping 2 buy ins within 5 minutes.
Marginal said:
ok ok. i see what u mean. not gonna be playing anymore cause i dont wanna lose everything .
So back to the 10NL grind which was the initial plan. The money is not big but beating it over a large sample is the goal so here we go.
Got my act together and am gonna put in the volume i was hoping for and try to get in 80K hands by the end of the month.
Heres another hand that just played out and i thought was post worthy.
Villain has a high fold to 3bet and pretty fishy stats, so i was going for a standard resteal although looking at it again,my sizing is lolbad.

Just a word of warning, I think you really need to stop the unbridled aggression. 34o, really? What is your 3bet sizing? He's calling with 100% of his range, and were behind 100% of it.
You need to stop spewing before variance hits you, the last few hands are really lucky and you're just sun-running at the moment. Play smart.

your right and thank you for the good advice.
i sometimes think the cards dont even matter.
Its like even if i 3 bet with 34 and i see an ace high flop, most of the time they will just fold to a c bet esp if they just flat pre.
If they dont ,and i actually hit a flop, they dont believe us, which is good if we manage to get paid by worse and not spew off everything.
Im not really going totally overboard when i meet resistance or board is unfavorable ,etc etc.
I just think that there is a lag style of playing that IS profitable and doesnt depend on waiting for premiums.
Your advice is sound though and i really appreciate it. Im just riding a wierd wave right now pokerwise and im experimenting with a bit more loose agg style. Which im tryig to keep balanced and not go too bananas and lose more than i win.
Keep doing what your doing, but when things start hurting... flick the gears! 🙂
if they keep folding and don't make it to river... who cares what ya have seriously, just exploit and laugh to yourself
but just be wary that poker players do adapt fast like the borg. Sorry fig used ur quote 🙂

Spiros I agree with Aces rather than Robbo, you have found a winning LAG formula and if is winning then great stick with it. Your last 10nl chart was great.
As you run into guys with a lot of hands on you they will start calling you down lighter. This is when you have to change down gears against these specific players so make sure you start putting notes against those normally tight players who have 'adapted'.
Even so its still hard for a normally tight player to commit a full stack with 2nd-3rd pair under sustained betting pressure.
Give us an update on your graphs and stats.
