Okay 😱duggs said:Yea don't think vin can do that or I would have already suggested it,
🙂 Yea do this Vin, I mean I do these things too just not in the forum, but I have a huge white bored above my poker desk for easy jotting down targets goals and ideas>>>duggs said:Good now personally I always set specific goals to reach before I unlock the next level, I tend to stick to them but if you don't think you will maybe post your moving up requirements here
duggs said:Those hands seem fine, but yea this is why we want a roll behind us so we never have the fear of going busto
vinylspiros said:and just for the record, the KK flop shove was meant go get any and all PP to call . wanted them to pout me on a bad attempt to bluff AK. Never expected villains to have a TEN in their range after flatting my huge 3bet(squeeze) pre.

You would probably die of boredom but 25nl full ring is considerably softer than 6max. There were plenty of fish still on the 25nl full ring tables. I took an early set over set cooler but managed to snag a couple of total fish to recover somewhat.
vinylspiros said:Im kind of bored of grinding cash games though. It's like i played so much last month that i kinda feel i need to take a break cause the routine of grinding over and over can become a bit boring sometimes. Im obviously gonna keep grinding ,just not sure how much volume ill manage to get in this month.
/Logan/ said:How many days take off from playing last month Viny?. At least take 1 day by week to not get burn out.
And lol to say you run bad.
Blobweird123 said:Vinyl, I KNOW you didn't just have a sick month then decide to cut volume? That can't be what I read can it? We don't put in hours upon hours day after day just for the sake of grinding. We put in the time and effort to move up and make money! Use the thought of possibly grinding like 25nl or even 50nl in a month or two as motivation and grind the eff out of it!
The name of the thread is GonnaCrushDAmicros, not GonnaCrushThenNotPlayAndGetRustyAgain lol.
Figaroo2 said:First reaction is that most of those are bad beats that you were never getting away from (and perhaps shouldn't in a few) Looks like lady variance has her claws into you.
1st KK hand v the 88, shocking play by the villian...just plain unlucky, nothing wrong in the way you played it, suspected I might be seeing AA in the spoiler after a 5bet shove . laughed when I saw 88 shows why you shouldn't fold KK pre.
2nd AA v 86 what is he doing calling a 3bet with 8-6!?. impossible to range him here on this hand...stinks of nut flush draw or a set when he calls with no odds. Not surprised you checked the turn can't see him not calling again.
Re-raise all-in is ambitious but I don't blame you if you put him on a flush draw. its spewing against sets though...could maybe have called the turn check folded river to save half a buy in. no way Id ever put him on that straight though. sick hand, these are the ones that put me on tilt.
3rd AK v AA maybe re raise on the flop looking to get it in, unlucky to run into AA with your A blocker and unlucky not to hit the flush, going to lose this one 2 times out of three.
4th 88 v 99 standard cooler, perhaps call, he has stuck in a big raise and you could already be losing to a kq straight. Always getting stacked here though once board pairs.
5th AA v J8, fish got lucky, another dumb shit call oop with a crap hand....once he bets large on the turn it looks like a set on such an unconnected board. impossible to put him on J8. Not surprised you feel like quitting for a while.
6th 10 10 v AQ set on flop, runner runner bad beat.
Not an awful lot you could have done, just bad runnung....batten down the hatches and wait for the clouds to clear.
