Here a gift for those who read this blog

An elephant and a dinosaur talk.

The elephant: Did Noah(Noah's Ark) add you on facebook???
The Dinosaur: ...NO man...
The elephant : This sucks!!!

Maybe the best joke I heard in years!!!

@danny We are talking about the situation,when EP opener is a reg ofc.
Most of standard regs will open EP ~ 14% at NL 50
Against this range,something like this loks SOLID

@manu
I know that this situation is most Vilalin dependent,BUT...
As usual Ep open at micro ~14%

So 14% vs AK8 tt it's like NUTS vs our range...SO,I expect Villain to cbet this board often because is rep his range so well.
About cbet stat,let's say overall ~65,but like I said before maybe he barell 100% this board,ofc this is theory,but I was hoping for an advice in vacuum.

I don't think Hero's range will suffer big changes...
but ofc we must check if blinds are SQ happy

@Gabi
I am not talking about balance,and ofc if he have a ValueRaisingRange,we must throw in few EQ Bluffs .
Agree w ,raising here will make our calling range pretty weak.
Also regarding the fact V will maybe cbet his entire range,maybe we can raise as a bluff,but personal I prefer to atack the turn if V is barell happy.

TY!
What I was trying to find out is if we need a raising range BTN vs EP in this situation.

Question.... we have a board 9 :heart:6 :club:4

We are Sb vs CO
We are facing a cbet.
Between those.
What hand we choose to call and which of them will work better as a bluff raise....

We have A :club:Qx,A :club:Jx,
AQ :heart:,AJ :heart:,AT :heart:
KQ :heart:,KJ :heart:,QJ :heart:,JT :heart:

TY!

Oke done 4real with zoom.
First -18BI day and the biggest losing day...Ty PokerStars for not letting me win 1flip,and ofc for rivering me over and over again...

This is variance so be it....
:f_cry: 3-4stacks are monkey tilt :f_cry:

How much can u get before gooing on tilt...good question...
I lost 4BI w AAandKK in 3b pot vs sets,and then tilted two more:P
I'm so fu.....ing upset about this situation....

GL all........
will be back with updates,hope to run good:P

Man sorry to hear that, 18BI in a session is just so sick. Hope you take some time out and come back feeling a bit better. Can I ask why you play zoom anyway? IMO it's good for exposing yourself to more situations you may not be accustomed to (more volume), but really can't compare to the advantage you get by table selecting well .. especially when there are still so many fish @100.

Hope you come back to +20BI day mate ♠_cool:

Srry for delay.
Just move out to another city,and had problems with establish my new Internet connection.

-18BI over 7k hands...for some people this rep a session for others a week...so isn't relevant...
Running like s.... and ofc took some BAD BAD decisons,what can I say,I'm done

I was lucky to be chosen by eszibit(RO pkr coach) in his grinding academy,so I will learn a lot in the next period,hope my game will improve faster this way...

Now that my Internet connection is fine,I can't wait to grind again.
GL! and TY for feedback.

GL Yozan! Sounds like a pretty sweet setup

I am back to regular 50NL tables,and things started to go in to the right direction!

Hope I can grind 15k+ more hands this month,and I am done...
Enjoy!

Thats great man, keep up the good work!

@maritsula Ty and GL...

Pff,I am playing poker for ~16months and excepting first 2,this is my 1st loosing month(as winning+RB ofc)

I am glad that I played a decent volume.
My Sn challenge is gooing great.
I didn't had my best run,but this is variance ,but I am veryvery dissapointed about some plays I made,maybe because of tilt,maybe because of becoming some kind of non-beliver donk(what can I say was hitting pretty often Top of the range lately)...
Enough with bad reviews..

there are also some good things...

- I succeed to move on a bigger city,now everything is oke,my internet connection problem is solved,even if I spent part of my BR during past two weeks(also experienced a bad run)..now everything is back in place..
- I was choseen by two coaches BogdanPS & Eszibit for some video reviews in a 1-2 months colaboration,so I am very happy about it,so many question ...hope this way I would find the correct answers.
-About my studying schedule...
Because of my last two weeks "issues" I didn't respect 100% my program,I am not happy about it,but life isn't all about poker...so,I am sure will try to recover this time in the future:P

I don-t understand why over a decent sample 50k hands,I am loosing constantely at zoom50NL...
I was trying to blame variation ,and try to compensate with volume,but things did not sort out,so I must accept my defeat for now :f_mad: :f_mad:

Overall I have a break even stretch of~200k hands,if I filter hands I can see that playing ZOOM 50NL and shooting 100NL ,are the main reasons for this situation..
So,this year I won't play again zoom or 100NL,this is my final statement,hope I can respect it.

As usual I will post my graphs,ENJOY!!!

SN challenge

So Objectives 2013:
15K......4.5k+3.2k RB=7.7k$
Sn challenge 21k Vpp's more

GL,and don't forget.
Keep on grinding till the world ends!!!

Gl next month, hope it's a better one for you!

As for your rakeback on stars, do you just buy the platinum bonuses? Or play the FPP sats & sell the T$?

I am buying $$$ with Fpp's...
I have a monthly withdraw schedule,4 living ....

If my br was solid enough to sustain variance,(I am always starting month with 40BI's,and always cash out surplus when I finish playing month),there is a better deal to wait until u reach supernova and after that change everything...

Ty...and GL!

Thanks

I've just been playing the sunday storm sats because I can't reach platinumstar with my shitty volume

The variance in those hypers sucks though so I'm probably best buying the gold bonus anyway.

Hmm,can anybody tell me from where can I buy hands for 50NL Pokerstars.

TY!!!

About PKR...
Nothing to say,I am def on the "dark side" of the variance

May the FORCE be with me

Hope I can beat the downswing like a Real Jedi :f_love: :f_love:

In teh same time.EnjoY!!!

Hello mate, how's it going?
Running better lately?

RE: buying hands for stars, do you mean buying hands off a data mining site like PTR? because I think stars banned that some time ago.

hello mate.
Everything works great,I will update soon I wait for a bigger sample of hands.
Lately I am studying hardcore,and I am happy about it,My downswing seems to be over(I hope I don't speak to soon).

Not playing zoom as I promise :f_frown: :f_frown:
And reg tables work fine:)
