Not if he 4bet only AA or KK+ which I found on 888 as standard. Check other stats for info.

Most of them are unknown though. Hard to get a sample on someone at NL10 zoom until you play like 50k hands

Notice how he is not 4bet QQ! You are too loose with pre all in range.

one my sickest bluff catches ever:

Of course there are flushes in his range... but what you guys think?

Better post hands in hand evaluation and take advice by a coach.
Members often don't judge situations correctly.

IMO here you should make a note 1st of all for this player.
Second i think you should put the hand as played in equilab put your opponent on a range and see what hands you beat and what hands maybe he has.Especially on turn.You will see that there a LOT river cards you don't want to see.
I would fold most of the time on turn.If you planned to call all in river i think you should shove yourself on turn.

seems a bit too sick to me

instead of going "LOL soulread!" or "LOL spew!" why don't you try to give him a range and check if you are ahead ~33% of the time or close enough.

i also think that a better spew line is to bet the turn and c/c non-flush rivers

His line didn't make much sense to me hence I called. I thought nut FDs raise this flop(I didn't mention that he is super aggro). I actually liked the fact the flush completed. When he shoves he doesn't have Jx, overpair, two pair or sets. Which means it is only Flushes and bluffs. Just felt that FDs take a different line and this guy is super aggro so probably has a number of bluffs in his range(he would love to rep a flush here) . If flush didn't complete I would have to include overpair + into his range which sucks for me.

he can still valuebet any of these hands you mentioned because you pretty much never have a flush yourself anyway - he probably stacks QQ+ pre though.

imo it's SO much easier to call on a non-flush river, the basis of your assumption is that he calls flop super wide (with A LOT of complete air).
on the river the only hand you beat is complete air because absolutely nothing missed.

Running really good last 3 days. Now up $141 for the month, which is awesome at NL10.

I'm getting more comfortable vs the pokerstars regs/fishes. Familiarized myself with the lines they take and hence can hand read a lot better (I make the odd mistake occasionally but oh well at least I'm feeling much more comfortable now)

My preflop game is terrible though (not super bad like a fish but can be way better). Especially when deciding whether to call/3bet. Playing super tight too last few days (18/15) not sure why maybe I can reanalyze my preflop ranges.

Abit lucky too, got KK in vs KQ pre mp vs utg (he snapped 4bet me ♦). And KK vs top pair on the flop. Nice to finally run into such crazy fishes.

How many tables do you play? I am planning to play there so need a bit of tips if you dont mind

3 zoom tables at once ♦. I'm not really good actually it's hard to give tips the player pool is so huge you will meet many different types of players.

Today people are calling all my 3bet bluffs and hitting. No idea why ♦

I think they are more straightforward so don't call too light especially on the river.

I hit $1000 BR yesterday. Was thinking today whether I should shoot NL25 but decided it was too soon (and I'm really afraid of a downswing )

So played NL10 today:

Lol.. looks like this hurt my confidence more.

Oh well, I will have to shoot eventually of course. Anyone here can give me tips on NL25 zoom? And the differences compared to NL10 zoom?

This hand was the shit that started my losing session today:

River: ($6.15) 5 (2 players)

Results:

Clearly a bad call on the river. But unlucky of course.. luck never changed the entire session.

And I flopped set with PP only 9.52% in 12k hands thsi month.. Rigged imo ♦

Oh well can only HOPE to run better... and stop calling overbets 'just because i have a straight'

Oops actually didn't hit 1k yesterday. Lol. Think I hit around 990. so close

But current BR: $950.75

Up $102 for month so perfectly okay.

I am having trouble to not be emotionally attached to money. It was the very first reason I started playing poker... Right now I can't even think of the money if I want to succeed..

so what?

Tried 4 tabling zoom today cos I wanted to have a quick session. Absolutely impossible ♦

Made 2 mistakes in less than 15 minutes. Really got owned. It's way too fast for me. Just one extra table makes such a massive difference.

So... I managed to play 1k hands today for the first time in 3 days. And that's probably because I was down 2.6BI at one point today (I always seem to play more when losing, to try to have a +ve day. Perfectionist lol)

Managed to run abit better towards the end so managed to make 10bb profit ♦ Really glad I recovered 2.6 BIs.

Only 4 losing days this month out of like 18. But the losses are rather huge compared to most of the winning days. Could be a mental problem I need to overcome.

Happens Get used to 3 1st than u can PLay 4 easily I Couldnt play 3 also now i can 4 but Cant play with my little br for nl2 anyways gl moving up

Not a single winning day this month and ure complaining about 2.6bis ♦
