Short update:

I finished exams mid Feb, kept playing until end of the month and start of March but I wasnt playing great and lost a bunch :P

I switched to playing live games for 3-4 weeks, did well and really missed playing online again!

So from the 26th of March, I made some adjustments to my gameplan and with a new mentality I jumped right back in to the online games!

I put in HUGE volume over the past few days, made very good decisions, got into some sick spots and won quite a bit

My results over the past few days:

Compensation for the April Fools Joke:

Hey guys!

I apologise for not being specific about my last post but it's kinda traumatizing and I avoid talking about it.

Since you showed so much interest though I will explain what happened.

Last two months, I withdrew 90% of my roll and started playing live cash games. I did very well on 1/1 and 1/2 in my town so I decided to visit London for a few weeks to play some higher games.

In London I was mostly playing 2/5 and sometimes 5/10. One day an opportunity arose where there was a seat available on the softest 25/50 you can imagine. It was just 2 good regs and the other players were a mix of filthy rich businessmen/footballers/actors who were donating money to the table.

I could not pass such a good opportunity, so I bought in for 4 BI - 20k (average was 10 BI) which was pretty much my entire BR. My plan was to play very very tight and just value bet them.

Anws... I was doing very well at the table and was up 1 BI and this happened...

I have AhAd on the CO with 25k behind. UTG was straddling to £100. UTG +1 and MP call. MP+1 who plays for Chelsea makes it £1200 and I re raise to £2800. MP+1 just calls.

Flop is AQ5r. I am loving life and dreaming of holiday destinations :P MP+1 checks, I bet 2/3 of the pot, and to my surprise he goes all-in and had me covered.

I check my cards to make sure I still had the top set and call with a smile. I asked the guy if he wanted to show, he flips over QQ and I proudly show my hand.

The dealer dealt the turn which was an 8 and then the river.... Yeah you guessed it. The last lady in the deck.

That is it basically. I got sucked out on for a £50k pot where I had 95.66% equity and busted pretty much my entire roll.

community calls all in

Well, 6 is not a big action killer so there are 4 7s, 3 Js and 3 Qs , 1/4 of the deck. On those cards we still get some value I think but prob not stacking him

My rationale for not raising the turn is that villain is a semi-fish. If I raise the turn he will "wake up", realise that his overpair is no good, call the turn and fold the river.

On the other hand if I call the turn he will bet the river big, then when I shove and he will say fml, its only $xx more, I have AA/KK, might be good, call!
