You can post images by putting the link between img tags like this (without the space):

LINK TO IMAGE HERE

Or you can press ctrl+p while in the text area and paste the link there :)

Thank You :f_drink::f_drink:

I already tried and the image does not appear soon. It's like this:

"from Image"

"directly form link"
%TBW

I like to see the imagem already in the post and not from a link to another page

Hey bfcardoso,

We have an image cloud so the easiest way to post images is to simply drag and drop the image into your post. If you do wish to use an online hosting service, then use the link that ends with a file extension. i.e. .jpg or .png

Regards

Laz

Beating the Stakes - From NL5 to the top

week 4

Get Rich or Die Tryin' - The Bankroll Challenge

I made a reasonable volume this week but nothing extraordinary. The profit I had this week came from the bonuses. Next week I'm thinking about putting hands to comment and get some feedback as well.

Week 4

Hands: 20.500
Results: 6.68€
BR: 788.34€
Goal: 3.000€

Exercises and Masses

I have not had much motivation to workout. But this week I PROMISE that the results will improve

%BF - Goal: 15%

%MM - Goal: 45%

%TBW - Goal: 65%

And it was all through week 4 :nh::nh:

Beating the Stakes - From NL5 to the top

Week 5

Get Rich or Die Tryin' - The Bankroll Challenge

Volume similar to last week but with catastrophic results. I found a fish that went all in every hand. And when I say every hand I say 100% of the hands. He started playing nl25. I decided to take a shot and made the move up. Either he gave me a good boost on BR or gave me a disaster. Gave disaster :why::deadhappy:

Week 5

Hands: 20.221
Tournaments: 5
Results: 57.36€
Bonus: 90.88€
BR: 821.86€
Goal: 3.000€

Exercises and Masses

Promise made is promise made. Even if it's a tenth :coolface::coolface::coolface:

%BF - Goal: 15%

%MM - Goal: 45%

%TBW - Goal: 65%

Hand of the week

All the hands I'm going to put are those that run away from my game pattern. Be it by some specific player (as will be the case here, or because I'm trying out some different moves). To make it a little more interesting I will hide the result of the hand to try to guess the villain's hand. Any information about it just ask.

Week 6

Hands: 13.007
Results: 20.37€
BR: 841.35€
Goal: 3.000€

Exercises and Masses

everything going in the right way...this weekend i went to Sunset at Figueira da Foz (you need to go there trust me) so my results could be better but like we say in Portugal, "One day isn't days". :transpire:

%BF - Goal: 15%

%MM - Goal: 45%

%TBW - Goal: 65%

Hands of the week

All the hands I'm going to put are those that run away from my game pattern. Be it by some specific player.

I need opinions. Call on the turn was correct?

Should I fold on the turn? Despite having 2 pairs the flop beats the villain range... will he do the 2nd barrel with AJ or AT?

88 hand is just a cooler, only 99 and QQ beat you (4 combos) and then he can still have a bunch of JTs and Qx (AQ/KQ/QJs/QTs) that you beat. And I wouldn't expect most people to have Q9s or Q8s (though obviously this time he did) there especially from a 31/16 guy but even then that's only 3 more combos. You still beat a huge part of his range. Nice hand, well played, unlucky, move on :)

KQ hand I wouldn't fold turn. He can probably still bet Ax and could also barrel some FDs. He probably won't have too many FDs in this spot because the Ac is on the board, but he can still bet some hands like T9s, 98s, 87s. River fold can be okay I guess, depends a bit on the opponent. Personally prefer 3bet/folding KQs MP vs UTG btw.

AK - I would say you should bet at some point (T or even R should do it), just take the money nobody wants :).
