Ty but it's ok, if you're already sorted I can wait for my friends to buy it next week

99 hand I would consider folding sometimes, but I call readless

QQ hand check back flop and turn

AQ I would think is a clear fold oop readless to a 3bet at 4NL. I think folding flop is prob best when he pots it, but I dont think I actually would. Your fe is close to 0 when you shove though

EDIT: Im tired dont fold flop in AQ hand

The_Don90 · October 2011

looking back at last nights session and i will pick out some talking hands. Remember not all of these are v NL4 players please when commenting.

First up AQs here. i was thinking about 3 betting myself here, but being oop i couldnt make my mind up. When the short stack shoved i decided now that i have posision if theres a call i fold, if they all fold i call.

This one was on one of the tables where there wasnt many non-NL4 tables. However i think as this hand demonstrates i was treating it like it had better players.

Flopping quads here. Was never sure on how to play. As you can see both the blinds are NL4 players however theres two pretty good non-NL4 players here. Tbh my seat selection was good here, i had both the NL4 players with posision and although being oop with the Non-NL4 players i felt i wasnt going to get involved with them too much. Also the hand in question. Raising pre? And post flop is that ok?

That table did get a little trickier. So here comes a hand. Solack was playing very different to how ive played him before. Upon flopping the nuts here once he 3-bet i decided to let him be the aggressor simply because he had been aggresive loads before.

1 fine
2 fine
3 raise flop
4 i prob fold pre, c/r flop, as played I just get it in on flop that raise is rarely a bluff on that board
5 bet less on flop, so if shorty shoves you can 3bet

Afternoon session

Done a few primo sats this morning. Really not sure how to explain them, but they didnt go well. Id restricted myself to 2 attempts as a treat for myself. Anyways after that back on the grind. So NL4 loaded.

It didnt go aswell as id hoped but as i got into the grinding shoes i really started to feel comofortable.

3 hands over £1 so ill just post em all. Dont think theres many talking points.

This has got to be one of the worst sessions ive had since starting my diary. I played bad, and well didnt exactly run great either.

Posted by rancid

... im angry at myself for last session. My sizing on hands was way off the mark. In others i overplayed them. And in others i just plain got lucky. Tbh i deserve a whipping for that.

PiAnOpLaYa · October 2011

When did you start limping into sooooooooooo many pots?????

With 77 its an easy open

DOHHHHHHH · October 2011

Within 10 buy ins of nl8 shots wiiiiiiiiiiiii

Dudeskin8 · October 2011

QJ - Don't limp pre, maybe raise but more likely fold. Flop raise a bit bigger (bout 35-40p) but still for Pod to call wiv bottom pair is pretty amazing, must have been looking to bad beat you or something lol. When he minraises you on turn it's a bit sick but I don't blame you for calling then obvz calling river shove.

QQ - Raise much bigger pre OOP even if just one bb more.

810s - Raising against a short stack who could shove and be ahead with anything isn't great. Flop best you could hope for but that will happen like 1% of the time lol and even then you're flipping for a BI.

88 - Prefer to just fold pre myself as even though he's short overs are best you can see and that terrible miraise is often a monster as I have found out myself even at NL10 lol.

J10 - First call ok, 2nd alrite with odds, river standard.

I like it - I know its not generally wise to flip at NL4 , but your gonna get there about 40 percent of the time even against aces and a lot of times your Ace and you Q are gonna be good as well and another percentage of the time he could fold.
I don,t know the exact percenatges but i,d guess that would be a winning play in the long term especially at Nl4

EDIT : This was from hand on previous page underr " Want to discuss this hand inparticular.

All day update

Not posting hands here for reasons i will explain. When i woke up i thought about doing the DTD. Tbh i really miss MTTs at times and i feel ive earnt the odd one considering. Anyways i decided DTD + cash = good night. Therefore i registered planning on not playing cash till the DTD started and playing mtts and cash at the same time. Dropping a table each time a tourny started and adding a new one as i busted.

As it happens as i was finding tables i had a horrible start to the 7.15. Left with 2BB after just 4 hands. So i decided due to the gear id have to be in to focus on that. Took me till 7.35 to bust. Not bad considering. Anyways i loaded the cash and waited for the 7.45. That came and i removed a table. Totty started and i removed anbother table. At 8.45 i closed off cash and my mind was crumbling. Although i was in profit.

The totty started well but two mistakes self admitted seen my exit from that. The 7.45 was going well until one major hand that left me with 6K at 600/1200 however by 1000/2000 i was chip leader. I went on to come third. Chip leader with 3 left then KJ v 89 all in on K9x flop 9 turn lecft me with 200K then a lost flip left me with 60K at 15k/30k blinds and BB next hand, woopee.

Anyways Closing BR: £147.13

Afternoon session

I decided to add an extra couple of tables today. Mostly for 2 reasons. One over the last few days ive felt ive played a little too loose. Secondly ive been getting bored about an hour into sessions.

Anyways 6 tables, 2 hours. Ive decided to pick 3 losing hands and 3 winning hands to gie a brief summary of the session. Then there was one small problem i done a search. About 2 full pages of winning hands over £1. Half a page of losing hands. Good session it would seem. So im just going to post not so great discussion losing hands as i dont think i made many mistakes in them,

Losing hands

First hand of session, maybe can fold but it seemed weird.

It feels soo close to starting to take NL8 shots. Tbh this session looking at the losing hands really shows how far ive came. I took 3 coolers and stuck at it, kept making the right desisions not tilting or quitting. I think in this thread alone it shows that just 2-3 weeks ago, this session is ended with a pretty tilt made comment on here. However instead im posting profit.

Don out.

Actually looking back the session doesnt seem as bad as it did. Although im not sure where £10 went as looks similar winning to losing above £1 so looks like loads and loads of small pots.

Dudeskin8 · October 2011

AQs - Yh I make this call, they do same with AJ/A10 I'd imagine.

77 - Super sick, 4 outs on turn......

83 - Not sure about shoving here as I can't really see what can call that you beat, any 8 is ahead, random 5 that plays like fish and waits till river to bet calls, can't see any overpairs here. I would overbet fwiw but about 30p and probably fold to raise.

A10 - You were good but still got to say I don't like it, maybe 2nd pair at a push, TP is snap but 3rd pair they have to have nothing.

44 - Flop fine, turn I'd be tempted to raise but probably right to call, love to know what they bet/fold on river.

QQ - Standard.

Posted by YOUNG_GUN

On request of young gun.

Im going to give the explination of this hand. When i raise im comfortable stacking v the villian that shoves. Hes shoved 5 or 6 hands in a row and has been consistantly through out the session. He hasnt been called once yet. I felt that once id raised i was commiting myself to calling a villan like this, as i also crush most of their range. However im open to critism here.

Probably is a call then you didnt say you opened, so probably have to call it of. I would prefer a better read though for example if someone else calls we get some showdown, but not bad either. I may pick another spot but really depends on how many shoves he has done.

as stated to u on msn i was 6 tabling so i cant be accurate on my responce to that. However it was vivdally noticable and the 5 or 6 hand prior i focused on this table to see and he did shove all of those hands.

Tricky one KJ, if he's been doing it 5/6 times in a row then you probably are ahead of the range but without seeing any of these hands I wouldn't be happy calling, if it was like A10 I'd be more happy calling as I beat loads of random Ax's but KJ is behind to all them even if only 40-60.

Also if he is doing it a lot surely you'll find a better spot eventually ? (of course hoping no one else takes him out)

this was the exact debate i was having with young gun. I guess i just picked a range and went for it. KJ seemed to match that range (lower end of my calling range fwiw) again ty for responce mate.
