After a long stretch of a constantly grinding the bankroll up our hero plays through a rough Sunday session losing a fair amount in the process. To unwind from all the Zoom stress he fires up some regular 25NL tables and starts working his way up again:

First, like your blog a lot :)

I'm happy that you have these 10-stacks-down-days, too.

But don't missunderstand me.
I hope you succeed and cross my fingers for you.

But sometimes when I read over the forum here,
everybody seems to win all the time exept me.

Now when I got a heavy downswing day,
I remember you and feel better ;)

What better time is there to warm up with some ‪#‎grindingitup‬ material when you have no radiation on a typical Tuesday morning in February? Enjoy episode 65:

After i saw your video from today, and seen your way of brm, i felt motivated to take a little zoom session today, after my todays 24 tabling session on reg tables ended be ev, but 5 bi down.

So took 1 shot, and a few shortys tickled my stack, but i felt i played nice, opened 1 more zoom table, to then see ppl enjoying to donate.

When he instant shoves my 5b i puked, cause i have seen SO many AA vs KK today. But why the FUCK does he instant shove :D :D?

Incredible how much effect it has on ones game, when u actually FEEL like playing a poker session for fun.

Your way of aproaching this game is so inspirational. I cant WAIT till u reach nl50 on a more reg basis.

As you also say, expand the challenge from 8k to 400k or smth ;D

Since I won't be able to host a hangout this week due to homegame action I wanted to drop your next #grindingitup fix just in time before the weekend. Here's ‪episode 66 with the host being a bit hungover from last night's homegame:

After a big soulcrushing day of downswinging I do a little bit of reviewing on today's #grindingitup episode trying to spot possible errors and leaks:

TT i would say its villian dependant. If i havent seen him probe bet too much in pots over that small sample, i would insta fold. Only if he is one of those types that probe bets 50-80% i would call.

In my xp, it feels like if villians is probe betting turns a lot, same would go for river if they have a change to do so. Same goes for float bet. If he floats bets the flop a ton, he is probably gonna do it on good spots on turns and rivers also.

Im not sure i have a default in that spot. I ALWAYS check the tendencies first. Even his WSD could give a good indication TT is no good at all in that spot. But i think probe bet stat is best on such a small sample. So i both agree and dissagree on that one :)

T9s im not really sure why you would 3 bet that hand. So which Tx hands do you flat in the sb (i know you said you dont want to flat sb that much, but T9s is the best hand in the game multiway, unless ofc 98s, which is even better)
And yes i know snowie would say Axs is even better multi way, but i dissagree. (still not sure why, maybe because i would rather see a flop with 98s than with A6s, maybe the straight doesnt happen enough to compensate for the nut flush, but it IS still possible to fold a flush. Maybe the 200 billion hands snowie has played, shows that his varianse suggests A6s to be superior)

Thanks for the feedback, like your points about TT and you're also right about T9s not being an optimal hand to isolate the recreational player with OOP.
