I've got a crush on you (NL10 ZOOM 6MAX AND ABOVE)

Another day, another sesh.

I hate to be the guy who moans but,. . . :f_frown::f_eek::f_confused:

Ow...

Owwww.........

Another break even session!...... Will i ever win?!.......

Current BR: $314

Ouch those really hurt.
But when you do 'em to the other guy, they feel good

Hey guys,
So just a quick update. I had a coaching session with w34z3l today.

It went well, we highlighted some weak spots and tweaks to my game. A huge one for me is big pots where i have spewed and got attached to a hand.
With that being said, he said for the most parts my stats are good, and actually reflect that of a winning player!

So i'm very happy to hear that and it's good to know that i'm on the right track.

Don't get me wrong, i have been unlucky in a bunch of spots,..

To be 150 deep and lose to this really hurt.

Micheal Jordan is one of my idols,.. if he can push through then i can too.

Current BR: 250$

Looking at your graph, I see two places where your green line takes a huge hit while the AIEV line goes the other way.

These are painful!

Hey man, glad to hear your 1to1 went well with w34z3l.
I was actually thinking about it too..
Can you say roughly how much is it per session and whether you plan having some more?
Cheers and good luck

So i'm not sure what to think of this. Other then i've won alot of flips and actually held in spots where i've previously lost

I've took weazels advice in spots, loosened up on the BB and it's early to jump the gun but you don't know how good it feels to have winning sessions.

:f_love::f_love:

I love spots like this.....

I'll admit, some of his range we lose but he'll be calling any Ax in this spot so overall ...

Well happy with my results right now

I can remember winning sessions -- they're fun!
Nice hands!
(as long as you don't whine when fish shows up with pocket deuces )

Do you ever overbet as a bluff?

Originally posted by VorpalF2F

Do you ever overbet as a bluff?

There are spots for it.
Say you check and opponent checks behind on a two tone that completes. You then overbet the turn as you know their range is capped alot of the time.
But you have to be fairly confident, and it's not something to do frequently (and at the micros it can be high variance).

But vs fish, the amount of spots i've been on the BB, flopped huge and just overbet the shit out of the flop&turn and got the stacks in is great. ♠_pleased:
Something to incorporate into your game for sure.

I'll give it a try -- currently lowest stakes I play is NL 5
The problem is that I'm a bit of a nit, and I usually get post-flop folds if I try to extract value.
This is OK if I'm bluffing, which is why I asked...

Gl keep the run goood going, Decmate will follow your game to improve my game also

currently playing regular tables cause I find zoom nl10 too good for my ability

Suppppp:s_evil:

So i haven't put too much volume in.
I had a bad day and lost around 4BI, felt like i didn't play right and wasn't in the best frame of mind.

Just a quick insight into what sort of mistakes i was making, . .

I think the turn was an easy fold here, followed by an easier river fold. In retrospect i have no idea how i made this call. I've been really stressed out due to IRL things going on and felt way off my A game.

But shit happens, and you don't always play your A game. It's about being able to recognise it and take action. Move on and battle another day.

Also folks, i've said it once, i'll say it again,.. don't be afraid to overbet...

On the flip side, my graph isn't looking too bad from the 18th!

But lets see it at 300k hands ♠_biggrin:

The Qjs hand the river might be a fold but your getting ridiculous odds to call the river but i don't think i'm folding the turn so i wouldn't beat myself up over the call on the turn.

The A5s i don't tend to 3bet these combos oop vs utg or mp i don't think they play great vs those positions but you might be right about the river bluff as played.

Keep up the good work

Just don't think i'm ever ahead and he makes it big! Turn bluffs are very rare in this spot so his range look like complete value. Although we do have equity vs sets so it's not the worst.

Originally posted by RedsYNWA

I'm using weazels recommended ranges and this is actually a standard 3b vs a 2.5bb mp open. But i'm sure folding doesn't hurt your w/r too much.

Thanks for the posi vibes gl on your grind too ♠_cool: sure i'll drop in on your stream

I haven't seen those ranges did you get them as part of the coaching session ?

I did, you can buy them from his website at pokerweazel.com as a one off too. It has all ranges you'll ever need through equilab.
Really worth it.

ok cheers.

AQss for me is fold on the turn.

QQ for me too big bet on the turn. You will never get called from KK or JJ.

Compare bet size from AQss and QQ spots.

I think generally, You are to passive in spots.

How much You Cbet flop, Fold to 3bet and 3bet?
