In Response to Re: craigcu12 diary : Mate, the only opinion that counts is yours. For what it is worth, i don't think you are overly aggressive. You play really well, and have shown you are successful at 4nl. This weekend the tables are playing totally different due to the promo. You know i like a bluff, but a really good player was saying to me you dont really need to be doing it at this level. Just bet bet bet with hands. I agree, but i am bad with the bluffs.
Posted by LARSON7

what could be your downfall is you sometimes like to show your hands you should never show you bluffs at all.
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.

ahh the glory days of pokemon on the gameboy and trading cards back at school lol Hope the poker starts to go better mate, maybe do some reviewing of hand history soon see if your losses you are being too aggro- agree with larson above at nl4 even though you can steal pots sometimes from passive opponents i think we want to be playing a tag game where we sit wait for made hands and just barrel - sure it will turn around mate gl.

Hand 1- Fine
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.

craigcu12 · May 2013

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.

craigcu12 · May 2013

after another bad day with so many cool downs and bad luck my bankroll is now £156.

LARSON7 · May 2013

Ul craig, the tables have not been normal with this promo being on.

You will soon be back up there.

craigcu12 · May 2013

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.

In Response to Re: craigcu12 diary:

the flush draw itself I don't see much reason to fold

Having fairly poor odds to call is a good reason.

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.

DOHHHHHHH · May 2013

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

I think I am going to take a break from poker this week and not return until next Monday because things are going chaos for me my bankroll is currently £144 and I just don't seem to be having success at all
£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

craigcu12 · June 2013

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

LARSON7 · June 2013

Thats not bad at at al for that amount of tables.

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

devonfish5 · June 2013

hi craig,
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

craigcu12 · June 2013

although I did play 8 tables the maximum I played at once was 6 and that was partly with it being the nl4 the reason I said it came from 8 overall was I swapped some tables.
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

benc · June 2013

Good fold with the As craig, thinking about the other guys stack and not just the shorty here and you made the right decision good to see. dropping down to 4nl is a good idea for the minute get some confidence back and make sure your playing your A game/making correct decisions. Flush over flush is ul, and the aj checking behind is fine on the river imo.

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?

devonfish5 · June 2013

fair point benc,

only had a glance through earlier b4 work so opologies.

craigcu12 · June 2013

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.

craigcu12 · June 2013

had a 2 hour session this afternoon on 6 tables overall 4 being the amount I was on at once.
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.

when I saw him B/C the flop I began thinking to myself right away he has Kx.
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.

I agree with all that have said less tables is better.

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

craigcu12 · June 2013

how much longer will my full houses fail to be winners
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

Ccf we haved used a screenshare software which is free called joinme and have discussed some hand histories and stuff via that pm sometime and i could show you it probably alot easier than recording sessions and going through it that way, Craig agreed that it was a mixture of alot of coolers and alot of hands which could of been played very differently possible some of which as a result of tilt.

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.
