Congrats, super looking chart.😀 still blowing them away before the river then I see...
I'm ready to rock n roll myself.. but errr not at 100nl HU lol😱

 

[vinylspiros]

I like my lag lines, but i have to focus on getting paid when i actually do have a hand . Getting people to fold is easy. Getting them to pay the right price when your ahead is the key point that im looking to work on so that i dont get as many folds and so i can get paid off when im ahead and increase my winrate.

fig check this hand out.lol. talk about max value. just played out this morning.

Kind of just feels like you shipped river so you wouldn't have to showdown your hand? You say his sizing is super bluffy, then you ship the river with your value hand when he can't look you up with much that isn't not beating you. Don't love it. Either bet tiny to possibly induce, or just x/c.

i shipped river so that i can get looked up by overpairs. Also my line looks exactly like what your describing so i thought i could get paid by worse and also fold out some of his better hands. Im not too sure if im jamming for protection or as value. but mostly i thought for value as his 4bet pre could mean he has some AQ/KK/AA in his range that would definitely be calling in this spot alot of the time.

 

[KapitoshkaOB]

in for more rungood pics , and to pick up a few things on the cash side of it as well.

 

[MinhANguyen]

Jamming river overreps our hand, and your line looks pretty nutted. AA/KK are probably not calling a river jam, as you can easily have JJ/QQ/a flush in your range. And it's really hard for you to really have any bluffs in your range. AcQx doesn't play this way, and AcKx probably 5-bets/jams it in pre. I don't really think you are calling OOP with medium/weak Aces with a club here and bluff-jamming the river, or floating the flop OOP against a PSB in a 4-bet pot.

 

[Figaroo2]

One of the things that isn't apparent to the passing observer is the way the poster is playing with vpip in high 90s and 3bet around 70%. c bet 100% and double barrels around 90%. I'm sure VSpiros can post them exactly. So the point is the player pool mostly knows this and also know that tpgk or an overpair would normally be good here and should be calling him down. Thus shoving 2pair is going to get paid a lot especially in a 4bet pot. The player pool is really struggling to adapt to his style.

 

[vinylspiros]

Well. Im obviously very new to this game format and in no case am i like one of the better players. I've realized that while playing this format any two hands will do to see a flop and depending on what hits, we can take it from there according to the line we have taken.

56 can be as profitable as AK if we hit good and play it right.

Although ive had a good upswing and made it from -362 which was my lowest point all the way up to +293 (thats a 13 BI upswing). I am currently down almost 2 buyins in total.


My hand sample is very small of course and i knew beforehand that its gonna get very very swingy.


10BI swings are very common according to what ive read here and there.



Ive won more than 150$ from rakeback by turning my fpp's into cash. so although im in the red, in reality im a little bit up but thats irrelevant.


Im going to play as much as i can and see how it goes.

The biggest benefit so far is that i feel like i have improved my game alot by playing so many hands against a better player pool and am slowly getting used to it.


I really have to focus on not spewing when i know i cant get villains to fold. I have lost at least 7-8 by ins by triple barrel bluffing in spots where i could have just let it go but i tend to get stubborn and that is th main characteristis of a donk. Will be working on that.



This is my graph so far. Its not pretty but it is what it is.

 

[vinylspiros]

heres what i mean about getting into wierd situations where im overplaying stuff and getting too crazy. i think i watch too much tv. these plays have cost me some money.

In this spot i convinced myself that villain has an overpair cause i have a folding problem. Not too proud if this hand. couldnt put him on a 6 cause he raised flop and i thought(hoped) he had overs.It looked like his turn sizing bet wanted him to look committed but that he could find a fold for some reason. anyone playing this differently postflop?

Re last hand. Aren't overpairs 4betting pre?

That red line tho!

 

[Figaroo2]

Yeah bud you got the horrible 4 on the turn which lured you in unlucky. I think we have to respect his hand here a bit more than usual with the flop raise and big value looking turn bet but it's massively tough to get away from 2 pair.
We need to think of ways to get your blue line up a fair amount that is key to improving your win rate.
Bearing in mind how much bullying you are doing we need to respect certain players when they are willing to gii. There will some clues in their WTSD%. Make sure you paying attention to this before calling it off to a guy with a WTSD of 23% or less.
It might help if you look through all the hands that WTSD and look at this specifically.

Will do man. Will do. Going through my data base in general and looking through the biggest losing hands. All of them were hands that were clear foldson the turn but ,i gave them NO credit whatsoever.

My game clearly has ALOT of holes in it so im watching some heads up vids. Tutorials. Reading stuff and generally trying to implement more solid strategy .


Im betting my value hands big and my bluffs big so its hard to know where i am at but i really want to focus on giving people good prices or lines that will get paid off better so that my blue line rises .



Anyways thanks for the feedback fig and rob.

 

[Figaroo2]

Yeah bud I don't want to egg suck on this but if you have 100 hands on a guy and his WTSD is less than 20%. When he makes a pot committing bet on turn or river you know it's a strong hand. The flip side is these are the wimps that will fold a lot post flop and can be floated and bullied.
33%+ wtsd they are looking you up with any pair. It's a really useful stat to help guide your late post flop decisions.

had no idea about that as i almost never look at anything except vpip and 3bet and f23b. and cbet/f2cbet.

those are the ONLY stats i use when in game. thank you fig. will add it to my hud? or is it in the popup?

 

[Figaroo2]

Yes its on the pop up.
It is a stat I'm using more and more. In fact every time where I'm bluffing on the end.
I posted a couple of bluffs in the PP thread a couple of weeks ago where the only reason I bluffed was because Wtsd was 17%. Both got through.
I might add it in to my hud as it is also useful to glance at it on the flop to see if a float is viable.
There are plenty of aggro types who will bet flop and barrel turn and then give up. 2&done as opposed to 1&done. Although generally you can gauge that from their aggression factor.

 

[Figaroo2]

It's about as making as informed a decision as we can when we are sticking a ton of bb in at the end of the hand.
It's always a guide of course nothing more. Even guys who showdown a lot can be bluffed on really wet boards and scary river cards.
Because the turn and river is where the big bets are going in a few less mistakes can make all the difference.

 

[vinylspiros]

Ok so like here it is.

Another month another dollar.(wtf)



Anyways, since 50NL HU was way too difficult and swingy ,i decided to focus this month on 50NL HU CAP(10$ cap).

Put in 2.2K hands today which is amazing and managed to unlock more than 3K fpp's(aka.30$) and almost 800VPP's. Gonna be supernova before i know it.



It seems like these games are much better for my style of play and there are a TON of fish shot taking. TP any kicker is usually good to GII on flop and if there is a FD on the flop,i dont mind getting it in with second pair.


Went on a 5 BI downswing which was annoying and then managed to go on a 20BI UPSWING , ALL IN ONE DAY!!!! lol.


Here it is. All from today. Enjoy fellas.(thats assuming anyones even reading this thread anymore.😛😛😛)
