Oh well. I took a much needed 1 hr. break and feel better overall.

I wasn't tilting or anything during but basically my mindset was "wtf I'm sure he'll beat me with garbage right now" which obv affects how well you play

So I wasn't tilting with a F, but it was more like a C ish game. But i digress, it happens to everyone

Saw you at the tables, sorry about those bad breaks.



I've been crushing today, I really feel confident in moving up to 2/5 nl. I know, I know, this is still a small sample size but I made some major adjustments to my game over the past two days and it's really coming along.

Also, my VPIP and PFR is getting pretty solid 21/19 atm.

I know people say playing tricky doesn't work at 1/2 nl but it definitely does, just in certain situations.
 
I try to work on increasing my tables by playing 10nl, but in the process I think I'm looking at the HUD less and less.

Up to 13 tables, but only looked at the HUD a few times, so maybe it's too many tables. Still ran 63 bb/100 in spite of it though. Maybe you don't need a HUD to play 10nl. 🙂

i'm having troubles in 2nl. i've been winning but not the "20BB/100" i've been shooting for. i know my vpip%/pfr% has too much a gap. i've been working on that. the last few sessions i've been at 12/8 13/8 and 15/9. this is FR. is there any starting hand charts anywhere i could maybe look at to help me out. i'm posting my graph along with my overall report.(i didnt realize i even was playing pot limit)

8 BB/100 is a pretty great winrate cardplayer..
Just be happy with that and keep on grinding.

You can find loads of handcharts just by googling.
 
8/100 is fine winrate if you where playing any other level u would consider this absolutly crushing it.
And the NL/PL there is no diffrence imo excepted PL is worse for SS witch is obviously good for u 🙂.

Your playing a little too nitish, open up your range a little.
 
anyone do a HEM update? i just did last night and its got a trail table scanner. it helps sort out tables lots of stuff i dont even understand to be honest. i just sort for a table of 8 of 9 players with 2 or less short stacks. it's been working great. helps cut the table reloading which take away from play. it says its legal on the HEM website but i havent asked fulltilt. so use at your own risk.
 
thanks for the reminder re hem update. have not updted since i got it. updating now. will let you know how i got on. just had a nice 10nl session - plus 26 bucks😀
 
Computer is disintegrating, so didn't get many hands in this month. Cashed some out to help pay for new computer I've ordered + on a 10nl downswing so been playing 5nl past few days to build back. Maybe I'll just stay there (I know, [ ] sample size)

part of my e-mail from tilt. they say the scanner is all good. i had a session last night made it to $100 then went on tilt. around $95 now hope to get over $100 today come on 5nl.
 
What do you guys usually make of villain min bet, then a pot size bet after you've called on a scary board?

Strong hand, generally. Minbet to try to get some value for the strong hand on the flop but doesn't want to show how strong he is, turn psb for value after Hero's shown interest in continuing.

Could also mean the turn is a scare card (backdoor flush or straight draw) and he's trying to protect a made hand that likely will not improve.
 
Fish will often minbet with their draws too.
Most usually flushdraws. If they hit I can see their bets getting bigger 🙂
