What was your plan on the flop?
Do you have handhistory from Villan ? Turn and river call is not so spewy or a big part of Villan's range contains FD & Air? ♠_o:

I had him marked on aggro fish, but readless I just fold

Okey, fine. Im beginner in hyper hu, GL

Really awesome and tl;dr version of The Mental Game of Poker for anyone struggling with tilt.

Think I just broke my volume + profit record in one day

Running extremely hot this month, hope to finish the month with a 5 digit score! I'm very close

Mega nitty fold I think. Don't like my raise that much tbh, I really shouldn't have raised but it was a combination because of his mediocre betsizing + no backdoor flushes for me. Anyway I was about to call his re-shove but he did a min-re-raise and I couldn't think of many hands that would do that to me besides nuts (99+). I expect most AT+ and draws to jam or flat over my raise.

Not sure about the fold there really. Assuming if we call we will have to call a turn shove, and assuming if we shove he calls (not always 100% true though, as you will know), then we need 31% equity in the pot for the call to be breakeven.
By my calculations, even if he has AsAx 100% of the time we still have 22% equity in the pot. If he just has AxAx 100% of the time we have nearly 24% equity. I think assuming a random $30s player to have the nuts every time here is a mistake, and if we add in just one random flushdraw (I put in Ks5s, fish love to min3b suited Kx i've found) then, even with the AA in there we have nearly 40% equity. Definitely not a fold imo.

What I actually came in to say is that your volume is insane ♠_cool:

Yeah I've spoken to two other guys and it shouldn't be a fold. Volume is nothing crazy, most poker players are like to procrastinate. I am just playing 7hr/day @ 5days/week. I should finish the month with around 4.5k games.

7 hours a day is crazy. Remember that it's not like a normal job where you can switch off and chill and just do work on autopilot. It requires constant concentration and focus.

Basically, for the past 4 days I've been at work 5 hrs/day and then doing some freelance writing work for another 5-6 hrs/day. Totalling on average like 10.5 hours of work a day, but I'm much more exhausted after playing poker for 5 hours in a day. Poker is a totally different ball game to 'normal' work, so hats off to you tbh, sick effort imo.

Yeah I agree on that. I'd say my net grind time is about 6-7hrs a day. I take a total of 3-4 breaks which are at least 30mins each (lunch, afternoon nap, afternoon break). In "total" its about 8-9hrs/day but you cant count lunch/afternoon nap/etc as part of your job, as in any most real jobs out there you don't get paid for that anyway.

If you have the right mentality and slowly build it, grinding 6-7hrs is no problem. I used to grind 5hrs a day, half year ago. I didn't want to waste too much time on bullshits like facebook so I tried to take my (mental) game to a higher level.

Oh and some days I only grind 4days/week, it all depends. Sometimes even machines needs rest ;). But I usually have monthly goals to make sure I am not behind.

The graph says all

Still pretty crazy it only takes 1month to run above or below 100bi

sick giraphe ♠_cool:
excited to see how you will run further, will you sustain that ev roi

fish on a heater :f_biggrin:

That's one sexy graph

Wow nice!

@daun we'll have to see but I doubt it because I also play regs if action is low

Time to start grinding again for June. Looking at the schedule I should/must be playing 20 days @ 200games = 4k games this month would be the target. Might take one or two extra days off since world cup is being played.

Took the first three days of June off. Went to the gyrm, relaxed alot, watched tv series, played lots of games with friends. Time has come to go back to the flipaments

Hey, great results (: Why aren't you on sharkscope leaderboards?

I'm ranked #1 there but I don't wanna be on leaderboards so I removed myself.

Just broke my own volume record today. Played for about 9hrs, total of 310 games! Don't know how I'm running though. I have a propbet with myself that I'll only check my results once a week.
