Homework #1

My graph [above] is typical of a player playing strong / value hands aggressively and folding my non-value hands. I recognised that I was not stealing enough; defending blinds enough and was folding to 3bets / 4bets too much.

I have tried to address some of the above issues to improve my non showdown winnings and my latest graph [below] shows a massive improvement [... albeit over a very small sample size]. Win rate 38bb/100.

I would appreciate your comments / feedback and look forward to the next video in the series.

Homework #1

As you can see the Redline destroys all my winnings (beside running under EV)
My main problems:
[*] 3-Betting to less for Value (2.71%)
[*] don't 3-Bet-Bluffing (0%) - is it really necessary on NL2/5?
[*] no 4-Bet-Bluffs (0%) - is it really necessary on NL2/5?
[*] CC% to much from MP/CO, maybe BTN, maybe Blinds
[*] little to less Flop C-Bet (54.9%)
[*] W$WSF to low (44.0%)
[*] far to low Turn and River C-Bet (46% / 40%)
[*] Flop Raise C-Bet only 6%

Homework - 01:

My main issues:

- I'm not sure if it's avarage or not, but I think I do pretty bad on blinds ( - 31,79bb/100 from SB and -49,35bb/100 from BB)

- My flop C-bet maybe a little high (74% overall)

- My Flop Fold vs Cbet is high as well ( 47.7%)

- Flop raise Cbet is very low ( 6.67%)

Homework 1#
I'm playing NL5 Zoom FR and SH

FR-Graph

my main problems:
1. not 3betting/squeezing enough (3% / 2%)
2.fold to CBet to high (52%)
3.fold to Flopraise to high (61%)
4. defending Blinds preflop ok, but I'm often lost postflop without hitting anything

SH-Graph

same problems, but even worse due to bad play in the Blinds

Homework 1

My graph it's a little bit weird, all these dropdowns you see are attempts to climb the next limit NL2 to NL5. I think my red line decrease only because i'm losing confidence in my play.

My main problems:

1. 4bet less than TT+ , AQ+
2. SB UO PFR to big for these limits 50.29%
3 I have to be more agg on the flop , only 34% it's too low imo
4. Flop Cbet only 54%
5. Not stealing enough from BTN 36%
6. WTSD 31% very large for a good winrate

My results were terrible in December, but half of it was variance, the other half due to very bad leaks in my game. I'm pleased to say that I got a lot out of the first Weazel Series, particularly the population reads episode. Once I realized that I was sticking around with my TPTK after getting check-raised on the river or min-raised/shoved-on at the river, I fixed that huge hole in my game and things got a lot better. This graph is from the last week of December and January so far. I have been playing a fair bit each day.

I'm trying to turn attention to:

1. Redline is bad because I can't identify obvious bluff spots vs thin value spots. At a basic level, it can be confusing when you are trying not to bluff the fish at such low limits, while at the same time increasing your non-showdown winnings by taking pots away from them. I'm really excited about the redline rampage series because I am sure it will help me make that distinction in the right spots.

2. I haven't fully memorized the 3betting ranges charts. Working on that at the moment. There are some spots where I'm cold-calling instead of 3betting, or even folding, so fixing that should make a difference.

3. I'm sometimes choosing the wrong spots to c/bet, float, or check-raise. My donkbet% is too high: I haven't incorporated a very good check-raise strategy into my game yet.

4. Hand reading in general not so hot. I want to improve my ability to put an opponent on a range, rather than start thinking about hands where I have been coolered or missed value.

Thanks for the great content so far.

Hi All,

I migrated to NL 6max on may 2014 after few years of fixed limit holdem career :). Started @20NL and currnetly I play 50NL and take a shots @ 100nl. The Walkthrough and Evolution of Poker series help me a lot to imorove my game and I am very grateful to w34z3l for them.

Homework #1

My graph:

My Stats:

The hands are palyed:

34 480 @20NL
256 266 @50NL
32 365 @100NL

I am not sure which are my problems but maybe:

1/I cbet flop more than the necessary;
2/call more vs 3bets;
3/fold flop to cbet more than the optimal;
4 /could raise flop more than i do;
5/If you find others pls tell me :)

Any advices will be highly appreciated!

Best,
Martin

Homework #2

My 3bet graph all the time:

After I watched the second part i found that i dont defend enough my big blind vs small blind. Here are the stats:

I will try to improve this area by adding more hands in my 3bet range as A6o, K7o-K5o,Q8o. Also will stop folding any Ax, KTo hands vs SB open raise.

I am sure i have much more weaknesses but will stick around to this one for now, because it looks easy to be fixed and will improve my red and green lines.

As usual I will be grateful for any comments.

Best,
Martin

hi solarispoker, I would like to share my humble opinion on your stats if I may :f_cool:

1) 67.4 Flop CBet is not too much at all I don't think :f_thumbsup: some would say you could CBet a bit more :f_biggrin:

3) 53.7 Flop Fold vs CBet is not that bad either, apparently most regs have about 45-50

4) could do probably :) our guru w34z3l said it should be about 15, so maybe add a bit more semibluffs and few pure read based bluffs to your Raising and check/Raising vs CBets range? :)

5) some would say that your 3bet is on the low side i think. do you balance your 3betting value range with same amount of bluffing COMBOS ? (not hands)
If not, then you if you would do that, especially on the SB vs CO & vs BTN, then your SB winrate would improve and the red line would go up i believe :f_cool:

Hi there. I thought I'd put in some time to try to have a better redline

I realise that it's not that bad and the reason I'm looking at it is because I ran sooooo bad at the end of last year.
But I will most definitely learn a few things Im sure.
Also, Im using Pt4 and have tried to add the stats correctly. I will post the stats here if someone else would like to use them. I haven't been able to find the EV bb/100 yet though. I'm sure there's some errors in it but most are correct I think.

Anyway. My own leaks?
I think I fold to flop cbet to much and I don't 3bet/4bet enough.
I really like the first part ,I hope I can follow the second part and get it into my PT4.

Also.. I can't get those pictures into the post,??? must be doing something wrong so added links to them for now.

Hi. I would also like to take part into this! I want to improve my redline. I am a hardworker 10-15h a day. I am also looking for improvements before the grind.
This thread should benefit me a lot. I have 63k hands this month.

Let's go with the work then.

Very good series, I'm looking forward for the next parts. _biggrin:

Homework 1:

Spoiler

Problems: I have leaks in all the topics that you will talk about, so there is place for big improvements.

Homework 2:

Spoiler

1) It is sick how big my winrate is in hands where I 3betted: 324BB/100, and my overall 3bet 4,5%.
2)Fold from BTN vs CO open = 84,7%, folded a few A9s, KQo, KJo, KTs, ATo, A2-A5s hands which I could have played.
3) I never squeezed as bluff!
4) 3bet vs BTN from BB: 10,25%
Call from BB vs BTN open: 11,25%
=> TOO TIGHT!
5)Fold from BTN vs 3bet: 67% (folded some AQo, AJo, KQo, KJs hands too)
=>again TOO TIGHT

Greeting from Russian community!

HW 1:
My graph from NL5

My weaknesses are:
* Small 3bet from BTN
* High fold to cbet
* Low river aggression
* Rely on gut feeling when barreling w/o a decent hand
* Bluffing against nuts
* Afraid of bluffing against calling station

HW 2:
Areas for imrpovements

* EP and MP vs 3bet, folding 68% (incl. AQs and AJs which can be added to 4bet range, maybe some KQs-s and low suited aces, all these hands have blockers). 4bet range 10%. Less flat calling, more 4bet.
* Overall 3bet in MP/CO/BTN: 3.5/6.0/6.4. CC%: 3.9/3.9/4.5. Too tight, should use positional advantage more often.
* BTN vs CO too tight, 3bet = 8.7 and CC = 4.4. Should add ATo, all suited aces, suited/unsuited broadway to 3bet/CC range.
* From BTN folding to 3bet too much (67%). Folded hands like AQ, AJ, a lot of middle unsuited aces and unsuited broadway hands. Some spots with Ax are good for 4bet. Flat calling 25%, probably just fine.
* SB profit +4BB/100, nice work!
* BB folding around 80% (incl. low and middle aces, unsuited broadway and middle unsuited connectors). Some of this hands and situations definitely suit for re-stealing or flat calling. Versus SB 70% fold, not good.

HI, w34z3l:). I am Russian. I do not speak English. Translate using translate.google. Sorry for my English. I have the opposite problem, blue goes down :) I thought it would be interesting to put your schedule :)
ZOOM NL10 FR

I want to hear advice about the blue line. Where to start? What to do?
Not sure that I will perform all the homework, as video on Russian exit later and quite difficult to communicate through an interpreter. Thank U.
