Life of a Hungarian F(L)ish

Hello guys,
this weekwnd I wasn't productive at all. And that's said, but I know where can it be improved. So I'm sure that it will getting better and better. The problem was that, I traveled home, and I have to make a lot of unplanned thing around the house, and that take away all my energy. I made only the most important thing, played only 10 hours of poker, so not a lot.

:spade:Last weeks goals:
- reach 92,5 k VPP - 87500 VPP
- 3 hours of improving my game - chat with Zs, and some combonator analysis
- start to plan weekly (DONE) , and monthly according to Schnitzelfish videos
- catch up with the university tasks - made a plan, but not sticked to it all the way, I'm far away from making everythink
- celan the room, and fix everything that need it - sort of, I found that, didn't have enough tools to fix these, so I need more preparation, that was doable is done.
- start to write my thesis - nope, not even the table of content is done, think about it, but didn't started to write this

So, it not went too well, but I reached some other things, started to build a good "habit system", and this is a big improvement, but have a lot of things to do with that.

:spade:Next weeks goals:
- make the habits deeper, do all of them every day
- iwillteachyoutoberich blog wekly course, daily 1 hour
- reach 96k VPP
- 3 hours of poker theory
- 2 chapter of my thesis
- write a good test tomorrow

So, this week going to be really challanging, but it's all doable, this week everything going to be green!

:diamond:Daily music:

Last evening there was no internet connection, so I couldn't play any hands, ooh, yes I can 1, payed a BB and it's gone... So the daily volume rise and rise, so I have to get everything really fast ready. This week has another priority, so I have to make the other one super efficient, then start to play huge amount high quality poker!

I hate unplanned things so much! ♦
Here you have a nice song. This album is great for workouts.

So, it's official now, I dont chase the november 15. SN, no chance... I'm really tired after work, and this downswing or rather bad tilty play kill my sessions... The month started with a BIG UPPPPP (100 BB), then all how it should (?) be, I'm falling like a rock. And easy to say not to watch the results, I see it only when I'm done with the session, today it was about 120 hands, and quited, because I don't feel like playing, and tilted because of 4 hands suckout in a row in the same table, so not about counting the bad beats, and that's wrong mindset... I know, but the result frustrates me, I fell like playing my best poker in the last few weeks, and my worst weeks in $'s....
Hello micro, here I come !

Hey Balu!

I'm looking forward for the session review with Madi and Boomer, i'm sure it will not only improve your strategy, but you will get back into the game with more confidence.

Let me just say: +1.

Hello,
another weeks gone, and I'm not feeling that, it was succesfull at all, and this makes me a bit sad, but I'm really hungry for success and improvement, so have to take in a lot of work!

First take a look at this weeks goals:
- make the habits deeper, do all of them every day - 7/4
- iwillteachyoutoberich blog wekly course, daily 1 hour - 7/4
- reach 96k VPP - 88k right now, didn't played only a few hours
- 3 hours of poker theory - a bit more than that, so I'm happy with this result
- 2 chapter of my thesis - blah, it's harder than I think, only started, but next week I have to consultate with my teacher, so I have to make it work..
- write a good test tomorrow - it was okay, I think, have no idea about the result

So, I'm away from perfect, or even solid, but need to work harder, and have to make things better. I have some problems with the internet, so I bought a mobile net, but this also not working well, so I don't want to start a session without a stable conection, so today's session is over, about 200 hands, so if I see my poker volume or results, it really sucks. A cannot do anything but trying to play my best but maybe I'm not good enough, so have to work a lot on my plays...

In the next week wont have a lot of time, and I'm trying to make the most important things, but have a lot of compulsory tasks, so it's not easy to find good balance.

The next weeks goals:
- review morning and evening routine, especially the morning workout, and do the every day
- reach 93k VPP
- 5 hours of poker theory
- continue thesis and make the other important essay
- 3 hours of self-developement
- start a food and excersise diary

And, last but not least, I won a competition, not sure how many attendant were (oh, maybe I know... ♦), but I'm sure this will be a lot of fun, and a big chance to improve my game. I'm going to make the record a session tomorrow or wendsday evening, and will send it to Maddy and Boomer, and if everything goes perfect, may join to the live show this thursday!

Hi,
thanks Maddi and Boomer, tonight was really great! I learned a lot of things, not only about the game, but about technical skills too (combonator, video editing), and how deeply think on a hand!
This kind of a professionalism is really inspiring for me, so thanks again!

No Problem Baluuu it was great having you on and thanks for submitting your HH's and being on the show

Definitely a good one...even if maddy did mention massive balls one too many times

Yeah, we were happy to have you on the stream. Sorry for me being sick (in both ways), I actually came down with a fever of 39.x in the evening, so had my reasons to be a total idiot.♦ But it was a delight!

Hi guys,

today we held a bit of a skype chat with Geri, Zs, Nardzs, and Red, and analyzed some hands, and one of my sessions, it was really great, thank you guys coming around, I learned a ton of it!

And, my goodrun last about 2 days, aprx +80 BB, today just hit a yearly low again in terms of BB's and $'s, sooo, last time this happened, was on thursday, so it really cool to run this good! And the worst is that, I'm feeling that I'm not this bad, have some spots where I'm strugling (as most of the regs do, as I see), and selecting tables, and it's not working. And really not sure if I wanna do this all the time, don't see the results coming from analyzing hands and situations. Maybe because I'm soo bad, that not even notice how everybody ownes me...

Today I started to write a blogpost about a hand, that I couldnt analyze, and spend on it about 3 hours thinking, pushing the combonator with Nardzs and Zs, the hand is in spoiler, but we couldnt figure out the right solution, Geri and Red said, it's not an easy situation, and nobody knows what's the best x/r range on the flop, maybe if you've got some tips, share with me (hand is in spoiler)!

Now lets see, this weeks goals:
- review morning and evening routine, especially the morning workout, and do the every day - started workign out for a video found on the internet, I want to do it every day
- reach 93k VPP - 90 k
- 5 hours of poker theory - was more than that
- continue thesis and make the other important essay - not going too well, other tasks was more important for now
- 3 hours of self-developement - bought some new clothes, a lot more elegant than I used to wear
- start a food and excersise diary - I'm writing everything when and what I eat, and writing down the excercises too

I'm more productive than ever, but still have some really big tasks to do, and the next few weeks will be really crowded, tomorrow I'M going to a job interview, tonight will think about it a lot, I got some questions that I should answer, but this is not for getting a job, this is only to get to a competition, quite weird, but what can I do?

:spade:Next weeks goals:
- 93,5 k VPP, I will step back to 1/2 only
- make a good food and excercise plan for the next months
- thesis , and finnishing the essay
- clean the apartment
- 3,5 hours of poker theory
- 3 hours of self development

:diamond:Weekly music:

This is all for this week, hope you guys running better!

Not much really to say on the hand

I think it's probably close to dropping it immediately on the flop and given things like rake and domination issues in a 3-bet pot I think you can just fold flop

Turn is a super easy fold once we've peel flop.

Our cutoff range annihilates that flop so we certainly don't need to go looking towards showdown with a hand like A5o and we have a TON of better hands to bluff with than A5o so overall I think it's pretty simple

If you want rough, try this

we mostly talked about questions liek which hands to include in our flop x/r bluffing range, how to avoid overbluffing, implications for later streets, etc.

I think you're mainly going to have lower straight draws and Q-high or worse FDs although I certainly wouldn't bluff all Qx draws. To balance this out I probably wouldn't x/r all Tx on the flop.

I'd probably have to build turn ranges on a card-by-card basis as for example here we will have almost no turn x/r range so therefore I'm not concerned about bluffing, where on an A or h I guess we have to think about turning some Qx into bluffs to counteract our value hands

Yeah, as Red said, the main problem was the flop x/r range, we x/r for value something like paar of tens with J kicker or better, and then we can choose from a lot of options to bluff with. Aprx we have to bluff 10-15%, and here comes a question, we would bluff our Q8-Q7 or 89 or FD's or a bit of each one? But if we bluff a bit of each one, how to choose wich one? Should we stick with if the hand's got a backdoor FD or something like that?
And I think we have to consider our x/c range, that should contain every hand that can improve on the turn (cards from A,K,....6, or any :heart:), Zsocci's idea was that, we should consider not to x/r with all of our TPs, we could leave some of them in our x/c range like K4s-K5s on the flop, and on the river if a blank comes, some of our hand will improve (small pp's), then we can take in a x/r there with some delayed TP's and improved hands, and we can bluff some draws from bottom of our range. Or if we don't do that, I personly prefer not to skip raising with any TPs, we shouldn't x/r any on a blank turn, and delay everythink to the river. In the afternoon I'm going to upload some pics from combonator what we come up with, but now I have to hurry for the job interview...

Here's what I think about that hand:
- on the flop our 1 street alfa will be 9,7%, the 3 street alfa would be something like 25,8 %, so our "perfect" bluffing ratio would be somewhere between this 2 numbers, so about a 15-17 % range would be okay in this situation?
- on the flop I should fold something like 12 %, so I will fold my trashy Ax's, Q8, Q7s, J7s, without a BDFD or better
- on the flop I would raise my paar of tens with J kicker or better, and that would be about the 34,8% of my range ( 159 combos), so I need 30 combos aprx to bluff with. And the problem is that, I've gor a tons of hands to bluff, so I need to choose between a lot of good bluff hands.
- and I would x/r for bluff with any J high FD, and any 98,97,89 suited, and the 89o with BDFD, and any Q8s, Q7s, and J7s with BFDF+.
It's not so easy to implement, but I think I can use this during a game. Here is a picture of the range, and the ranges from combonator:

Combonator Output combonator.com
Board: 6 K T

Entire range: 457 

[b]  Grouped[/b]:  243 combos  53.2% 
[b]Ungrouped[/b]:  214 combos  46.8% 

  [b]Group 1[/b]:  159 combos  65.4% (34.8% total) 
  [b]Group 2[/b]:   34 combos  14.0% ( 7.4% total) 
  [b]Group 3[/b]:   50 combos  20.6% (10.9% total) 

[b]Group 1[/b]: Value x/r

TT+, 66, AKs, ATs, AKo, ATo, K4s+, K6o+, QTs, QTo, JTs, JTo

[b]Group 2[/b]: Bluff x/r

Q8s (2), Q7s (2), J9s (2), J8s (2), J7s (2), J9o (6), 97s+, 98o
(6), 87s

[b]Group 3[/b]: Fold

A8s (2), A7s (2), A5s (2), A4s (2), A3s (2), A2s (2), A8o (6),
A7o (6), A5o (6), A4o (6), Q8s (2), Q7s (2), Q8o (8), J7s (2)

On the turn, we will have a hard time on a blank card, so for example on this 2, we wont have a value x/r, and I think nor a donk either, so we will delay any value and bluff raises to the river. What do you think about this range? And the idea of never x/r the turn on bricks?
