But in my long winning seasions im winning alot more then im losing in the long losing seasions.
3 of the lossing seasions are around -3-10BB while my long winning are around 20BB+ and one 355BB 😀(drunken CC 2NL where i managed to get a 70$+ stack).
if 10 of your longest seasions where losing ones it would indicated you where playing to much to get even and also when your losing big u should be quiting seasions sooner if you have any tilt issues or u will just start spewing chips.orangepeeleo said:
Ah i get it now, thanks, tilt used to be a big problem for me but that was when i was no-where near rolled for the games that i was playing, i was buying in for 2 or 300 euros, which is a lot of money for me and getting sucked out on for a fifth of your monthly take home...... well you get kinda angry lol
Also looking back i dont think i really played cash games all that well at the time either, i can't remember any exact hands but i know i've stacked off to trips with TPTK plenty of times in the past, for money i couldnt afford to lose, thank god for cardschat lol

4 wins, 6 losses - around -1.75 BB/100.
In each of the losing sessions, it looks like the session crashes and burns in the last few hands - guess it's not a good idea to sit at the computer for that long 😱 😱 😱 duh...
I think the flop call is worse than the preflop call. If they steal a lot hands like KJ/KQ/AT are perfect hands to flat because then you can make a decent amount of money when for example your KJ is up against K8. The thing is though it's not going to be profitable to play directly for the value of hitting hands, you're going to have to make some moves like C/R some boards and imo this example is perfect, seeing as it's A-high AND you flopped a gutter. But just flatting out of the blinds with those types of hands aren't horrible imo. Obviously if their att. to steal is like 15% you don't want to do it but with the people that steal close to 40-50% or higher, you can definitely be flatting those types of hands.Jurn8 said:
This is obviously situation-dependent but I don't think this is a huge leak either.Jurn8 said:
ok don't want to get too picky but when your bet gets raised postflop it's not a 3-bet, it's just a raise. If it goes bet, raise, raise, the second raise there is a 3-bet, since it's the third bet. Preflop the blinds are the first bet so the second raise is a 3-bet. You're definitely right preflop though. Pretty sure you should be folding to most 3-bets if you're oop and even ip you shouldn't be calling a ton of 3-bets (and especially not hands like 33-99).Jurn8 said:
Flop raises are very difficult to deal with when you have a hand like TPTK or an overpair, just because some people do it only for value with 2-pair+ and some do it as a bluff, with draws, and even some do it with like middle pair to "see where they're at". But against most straightforward opponents raises are very strong and especially when they continue on the turn/river they usually have the goods.
All just my opinion.
Flatting vs. late position raises with sc's in the blinds is burning money. I guess flatting them to an UTG raise from the blinds could be okay, but I rarely do it because playing draws/small pairs OOP sucks the cawk.Jurn8 said:
Like, this isn't rocket science. Suited connectors are good at the following: They flop draws (mostly). And there's two ways to play draws. You can semi-bluff with draws so that your bluff doesn't have to work as often. Or you can play them for implied odds if you think villain has a big hand, and try to make a giant hand & take their stack.
Now that you know this (obvious) fact, how do you think you should play SC's vs. players who raise with a wide range from late position? How do you think you should play them in position against an UTG raise?

Question! With an UTG raise, aren't we (if he's a decent player) putting him on a really good set of cards (QQ+, AK)? If this is true, should we really be flatting or raising here? Shouldn't we be folding due to the fact that our SC's are not going to hit the flop hard most of the time?

Well due to the fact that his range is really strong and really obvious, it makes it that much easier to stack him when we do flop a hand. You're only investing like 3-3.5 BB's to win his whole stack so you don't need to make a big hand that often to make it profitable.

Yeah this. Also note that it's really hard to extract value oop. If they're stealing a lot SCs are decent hands to 3-bet light with. They're also good hands to flat in position with because there are a lot of boards you can float (and still fire and take the pot down if you miss) and it's easier to extract value from big hands when you do hit.
I am now $5.60 away from moving up to 10nl thanks to the stars survey, got 300 fpp's added to the 123 i had in my account, played 2x210fpp sattelites and cashed in one of them so ive now got $244.40 in my account, hopefully by the end of tonight, fingers crossed, i will be a 10nl player 😀
So I was playing my morning session and I noticed something I'd like to point out to everyone here. Take a look at the pic below and notice how irrelevant small sample sizes are when looking at someones stats. Over similar number of hands, I'm playing anywhere from 9/9 to 31/28. Thought this was worth pointing out.

So.... after being beaten by 2 runner runner's, having my aces cracked by 33 all in preflop in a 5bet pot! and losing a set over set, I thought i really had hit the doom switch when i said i could move up to tonight.
But the doomswitch didnt count on my awesomeness and i decided that if i had to play all night i was gonna get to $250 if it killed me. Cue THE most results orientated session i've ever played, with the cashier being checked after every big hand lol
Around the 500 hands mark my morale was quite low lol but i'm at $250.17 (see how often i was checking the cashier hehe) and taking a break because that was a stressful 2 1/2 hours lol
10nl tomorrow baby!!!
Thanks to everyone in this thread by the way for checking out the blog and giving some really good advice on my windy road through 5nl will update on saturday morning with a summary of my 5nl adventure.
