MOAR

...of the same:
50 NL
318 hands
($43.69) / (27.48)

25 NL
1092 hands
$140.36 / 51.41
actually seems to be sustainable, due to 40BB stacktards at AP ?!?!?

Cliff's notes:

Continuing to flirt with the cusp of 50NL. Playing relatively solid, lost a few flips and made a few obvious mistakes of the gee, i'm pretty sure i'm not good here, but can't help myself variety. Nothing I'm really concerned about for the 50NL hands.

25NL is so so so beatable right now. Having an enormous PT database doesn't help -- once upon a time I was giving too much respect to the 19/14, 22/18, 14/10 types. I would make efforts not to get into pots with them, would leave the table, etc and consider it 'good game selection'.

Since my datamining is so much easier at AP (thanks Absolute Solution!!), I have exponentially more data than before. Now I look forward to dealing with the above spectrum of players, provided they are marginal winners or losing players. I really haven't seen that many truly TAG players at AP -- most think they are, but are actually weak/tight.
In the midst of this heater, it's probably a good time to assess some things that I'm doing correctly -- I'd like to be able to look back at this post during the Doomswitch Days and revisit some good habits, like:
  • Datamining. A LOT. My laptop is my bitch, and the best-informed people are the best-armed.
  • Table selection. I've been actively filtering my PT Database, auto-rating it, finding the fish, and sitting to their left whenever possible. Also have been attempting to get full, loose stacks in the 3 seats to my right, and weak, tight, short stacks in the 2 seats to my left.
  • Opening up against weak/tight/marginal regs. I've been opening up my range preflop against known entities when I feel I have a read on their range
  • Running HAWT: I catch outs like it's my fucking job. I'm the King of Catching my Gutshot after a Cbet gets called. Also, I have a condo in Valuetown, and I takes u there.

some hands? in this one, I take money, and throw it on the bonfire. one cannot profitably take a Cbet/fold line in a 4-bet pot. If I'm going to bet here, I have to commit, and JJ is likely a dog vs his range here.

Seat 5 - Solid TAG($50 in chips)
Seat 1 - xxxx ($41.35 in chips)
Seat 2 - HERO ($37.85 in chips)
Seat 3 - xxxx ($28.30 in chips)
Seat 4 - xxxx ($21.20 in chips)

xxxx - Posts small blind $0.10
HERO- Posts big blind $0.25

*** POCKET CARDS ***
Dealt to 1R0NEAGLE [Jc Js]

one limper to
Solid TAG - Raises $1.19 to $1.19 <--- wide range for BN open
folds to
HERO - Raises $3.63 to $3.88 <--- std for BB play
folds to
Solid TAG - Raises $7.87 to $9.06 <--- wtf range for 4bets
HERO - Calls $5.18 <---- no range assessment? suck.

so at the flop, we've got an $18 pot, effective stacks are $29, he covers me, and I'm out of position against an aggressive opponent. This is bad.

*** FLOP *** [Qd As 6d]
Hero - Bets $10
Solid TAG - Raises $30 to $30
Hero - Folds

Terrible. As I already said, for the stack sizes, I can't flat his 4bet w/o a plan to shove the flop. Without more history, I can't narrow his range better than [AA/KK/maybe QQ or AK/ air]. The flop narrows it to [AA/QQ/air], and when I bet enough to commit myself, and he comes over the top, air doesn't have much in the way, there....

..but a huge part of playing profitably is staying out of marginal situations. Against this player, in this situation, I like my PF 3-bet, but unless I've seen him 4bet w/ AK/AQ/SC-type hands, I can't call with JJ OOP there. Unless I have odds to set-mine (like when I'm 1200bbs deep lol).

I have another blog for nonpoker content AHEM AHEM FUCKING AHEM, but these are poker relevant, as he's obv braggin' about his ballerdom. My blog consists of 100% poker content, nobody cares about vacations, clubs, hot chicks, house music, pickup, etc. Poker is all. Therefore, review these poker-related pics.

here malfaire is discussing hand strategy with a donk
here i was trying to manipulate my loose image in da club. instead I get caught out with one pair, when I was trying for two pair. unreal. fuckin' rigged.

My champagne glass is gutshot, but I get a free card and get filled up. over and over again.
I'll post some non-poker related pics at my other blog. Maybe I'll even link it.
