Go to Carbon.^^

QQ: Looks standard to me.

Haven't played on Carbon in forever.....reasoning for Carbon over the others listed??

 

[Logan2]

How everyone doing first 7 days?

5/7 for me, 5 losing days although not much down.

Carbon has the highest traffic of all sites outside of Bovada without having to deal with the anonymity aspect. Had issues with PT4 with WPN (ACR/BCP) and it's also nearly impossible to get the games of your choice at the volume you would like (if you multi-table) on WPN (I could rarely 2-table, never 4-table capped games and nobody played 100bb games).

​

Not sure. New PT4 database since like yesterday. Pretty sure my WR is beast at the moment but won't be looking until the end of the month.

Was playing my A game until my last session. Suffered from boredom and started browsing while playing. In fact I'm doing it right now

​

Lol. You think I'm still keeping track? Last 2 months I just counted in terms of how many winning days I could have, given it was probably around 10% winning days.

Now I just aim for getting 2 winning days in a row once in a while

But it's gonna be a bad month for volume for me. Was on a work trip during the first week, and gonna be on another one the last week of the month. In between then I have to basically finish up all my training stuff (again, related to work )

Sigh. Happy autumn, everyone...

 

[BenjiHustle]

BLAH!

Just blah.

Stagnant AF. Learning that poker is a hobby or pastime as opposed to being absolutely necessary. I guess that's a good thing.

bankroll is growing faster with me not playing than it does when I play. That can be good or bad.

Still not sure if I'm going to be able to play poker ever again based on circumstance. That sucks.

 

[Logan2]

@Matty, If bored and time left to browse adding more tables usually fix that, or just quit for the day as no reason to play if not totally focus.

@Matt, lol, you always have the good words to make me feel better about my little bad runs, happy autumn for you too and gl with work
(wishing gl on poker to you is probably like bark to a tree so why bother)

@ Benji, taking poker as a hobby sounds fun, i miss those times.

Lol. I'm sorry you feel that way. I've technically been winning lately!! Just swingy as ****, and not very much

Chin up Benji. Hobbies are teh nutz.

Nice to read things geting better Matt, obviously was joking about that part, best of luck for the month even if low volume.

1st hand: Consider your sizing on earlier streets so that your stack is set up to GII if you are wanting to. As played I jam it. We certainly get called by worse enough of the time. If we bet more OTT then shipping the river doesn't look as scary for the villain.

2nd hand: I think it's actually a fold OTT. They rarely pot it without a hand here. If we aren't folding then you should just jam the remaining stacks in but for me it's a fold.

 

[BenjiHustle]

AA: What does it mean when you bet tiny and then call a huge raise? I've seen someone in here specifically state that they bet so small because the board was too dry to get value any other way. Maybe expect 99 and fold with that logic.

 

[Matt Vaughan]

AQ: I jam river. But I agree with YGM on sizing considerations.

AA: I doubt I'm ever folding with this small a sample on someone looking super fishy. His flop play looks so much like 55-88 or random airballs to me that when he pots turn I'm pretty worried he has 55 or A2ss. Maybe 76s or 54s I guess. Like I said, I doubt I'm finding the fold button here, but turn PSB makes a pretty good case for it.

 

[Logan2]

AQ, Agree on bet more turn and jam river, although i do what Benji mention and b/c, looking back AF is just 1.1 which should tell me i'm beat when he raise river
Btw, nice 4outs chase, i guess i got the fault for not bet more turn (like if that going to stop him)

[BenjiHustle]

I don't think so. It's just TPTK and you like that he bets for you here until he hits the miracle river. Even if he doesn't bet river, I probably still don't fire. He does give a good price the whole way for you to showdown.

 

[ScottishMatt]

As played it's fine. Defo betting river when checked to.

[youregoodmate]

Well played. I agree with Matt, we have to bet when checked to. His range that checks is mostly Qx that we beat.

In pots this size is where we define our WR's. Don't be scared to go for value when we are confident we are good against his range.

 

[JCgrind]

logan- nh wp

matt- spew 4bing preflop vs unknown? having said that i like sizing

 

[youregoodmate]

I think the 4 bet is fine against an unknown there. They rarely 5 bet anything less than QQ and AK so as long as Matt is confident in big pots then we can crush IP if they flat.

Just my experience playing 5nl zoom.

 

[ScottishMatt]

Meh saw him 4 tabling and decided to give it a go. I'm pretty sure I have a postflop edge on most, if not all, of the 5NL regfish. As you can see by his postflop decision here that is definitely the case.
