what I believe helps bluffs is stay tight with hands selection and start of with semi bluffs and cbets then after a while if you notice lots of folds with them one you then take the next step of getting looser OTB.
i don't seem to be getting much success with my hands ATM
how many monster over monster will i loose
Hand 2 - As played probably fine, but I would consider folding pre, when faced with a pre flop raise AT can be very difficult to play out of position.
Hand 3 -
On the flop - fold, we dont want to be paying so much for this draw
On the turn - fold, we dont want to be paying so much for this draw - especially as the board has now paired
On the river - so you got there, but you are not raising, this obv means you dont know if you are good. All the more evidence you should have folded earlier.
All imho.
with hand 2 I decided to call as it was the button who raise and their hand range is very wide if it were a villain who has only dropped down for the big deal promo. the beginners on nl4 I am starting to think limp in with premium hands because I have noted down atleast 5 villains today who don't raise with AA-QQ.
hand 3 I called preflop as I was on the CO and would have raised it myself if it got folded round to me the flush draw itself I don't see much reason to fold if I did that then it will make things even more harder for me to gain value from good hands because if they know I called then they will know I have hit betting and calling flush and straight draws are the best thing to help hide strong hands
the reason for not reraising the river was because he has decided to go so big so if I do a jam or reraise he will either fold or call with a A flush or a set as it is paired.
after another bad day with so many cool downs and bad luck my bankroll is now £156.
You will soon be back up there.
I must be having some sort of problem with my betting or hand selection at the minute at the minute because I have did a check through all my hand history in the last 6 hours and given how few are big losses I still ended on a loss.
my losses in the last 6 hours were
0.02 130
0.04 156
0.08 46
0.10-0.20 44
0.20-0.30 14
0.32 40
0.40-0.50 2
0.50-0.60 4
0.80
0.9
1-2 2 hands
6.61
my winning hand in them 6 hours were
0.02 14 hands
0.03 5 hands
0.04 8
0.05
0.06 32
0.07 6
0.08 6
0.09 2
0.10-0.20 39
0.20-0.30 14
0.30-0.40 8
0.45 0.46x2

0.63x2 0.66
0.72 0.79
0.86 0.87 0.89
0.97 0.98

Flush chasing without proper odds is a huge leak.
At 4nl I never seem to get problems getting paid off. There is no need to even consider playing weak hands/ or any kind of polarised range theory at 4nl.
Craig how long did it take you to count up all the wins and losses in the post above?
I'm not sure what you expect to get out of the exercise? It's got to take at least half an hour!
You're worse than Don for counting
£14 was lost with this hand and one think for sure I was never going to manage to escape even if I just call the reraise as it was just J high on the flop and I will end up putting too much in to just fold after that
well after having a break for a few day I decided to return today and did a review of my hands recently and it has helped me improve and was much more careful with my hands today. but for some reason I still didn't seem to get any profit.
I had just 1.5 hours today and played on8 tables through that period.
6 of 8 got losses which were -18p -£1.18 -24p - 71p -42p and -£1.52
the two tables that got me win were £2.93 and £1.08
as for hand history
well that was winnings of
£4.63
£1.42
£1.05
0.50-£1 5 hands
the losses were
£5.15
£0.82
£0.44
the rest were from mainly a 3x preflop or the BB folds
I am starting to think this might be where my problem lies
Must be hard with all those tables?
Wouldn't it be better going down to 4/5 tables for a while? Where you can focus more, i struggle having 5 tables open, 8/9 must be difficult as. When i had 6 tables, i was a robot pushing buttons lol
Larson does have a point about dropping down tables mate.
you know I like playing as many tables as I can but it can be risky and when you are struggling then it does pay to play a few less I have found.
I now play either 2-4 as a rule which helps to steady the ship and also gives you more time to think about each decision.
looks as though you are running bad from a glance through your hands. not much you can do there.
play within your b/r too.
nl10 isn't advisable with less than 20 buy-ins imo.
gl today

normally I play 5-6 at max but I will drop down to having 4 now because it probably is due to the amount of blinds I fold that I have so much lost
59x2p
74 x 4p only 3-5 were from a limp.
35x 5p from action tables
Dev 1-2 of the tables craig is playing above is 5-5p blinds not 10nl, have never played them myself really is the standard much different to nl4 craig?
fair point benc,
only had a glance through earlier b4 work so opologies.

in a way I think the nl5 are easier than nl4 I very rarely finish with a loss and villians don't seem to play as passive post flop either.
I did very well on two with profits of 4.98 and 3.70 but it was ll washed away when I got a loss of £7 on one mainly through bad luck.
the other 3 were not that good either with just 24p won but -£2.13 and -£1.63 lost
BR is £142.04
due to the buttons being so small I only min raised this hand when I should have did the full raise
as for the river I thought to myself I might as well call the last £1.10 as he might hold KQ or K10.
then when I checked the turn I decided to make my FH look like AA because I could only see AK or KQ likely calling a big bet. but then when I saw an A come on the river and he does a bet it start shouting FH weather it was KQ or AK.
Stick to 3 or 4, pay more attention, win and get some confidence back. It makes the world of difference.
Not sure if I menitoned it, but if you ever wanted to record a session (say 4 tables max) and post it online somewhere (If Sky allow this) I would be happy to look over it. Granted im no expert, but never had a sub £100 4nl month, and most £200+
I am convinced the reason your BR is not growing is due to small things that you are doing, and that never get seen on these threads. No idea what it might be, but sometimes the small subtle leaks are the worst.
All the best
I didn't want to call the river but really I was meant to click the reraise on the turn but instead clicked call. it really feels annoying the number of full houses I loose out with in the last two weeks
How did the rest of the day go Craig?
We only really played 1 hand, you looked super strong, had to fold on the river.
Good luck!
as for this evening things went a bit better and I managed to get a few tables with £3 profit but overall my bankroll has finished at £140.59
the hand history was
winnings
£4.02
£3.58 £3.47 £3.08
£2-£3 4 hands
£1-£2 22 hands
the losses were
£6.41
£3.23 £3.15 £3.06 £3.05
£2-£3 4 hands
£1-£2 8 hands
it was the right choice I was hoping you might have a pair your self and would think that I missed out on a flush or AQ+
Btw Craig that 3s full hand on the previous page you need to be betting turn and playing for stacks on river, i know you have had alot of house over house coolers but you still need to be making the right decision in that spot when it occurs and getting it in and losing with 3s full on the river would not of been a bad decision long term, i'm sure a good session is just around the corner mate gl.
