i played u today, so ill leave a few thoughts dont c/r so much and fold, post-flop u play kinda weak i pushed u around a bit and managed to make u fold 90% of the time. and u need to adjust PF faster took u ages to 5bet/shove over me and still i dont really know if u adjusted cause i folded.
@ roswellx: ty for review, nice one. @ hand 5: he had AJ, yes.
Add me on skype please, maybe we should talk more: pilton_haris
@ gugapt: i know i check/raised a ton today i was just trying that stuff out.
I think i know who you are, and yes i know i played very week this couple of days. Add me on skype if you want too please
@ Huseens: your right and i will
Edit: i found the hand in which i 5bet shoved: i had jacks and i knew that you 4 bet me before so i wasn't to sure what to do. you did pushed me a bit ![]()
Edit 2: i deff need a lot of improvement in any matter. the problem is that i had been a fish for several months, calling a lot and stuff and now i am trying to develop a whole new way of playing and i sometimes fail. i feel that i have the same lines too, for example cold calling X hands everytime, not changing my game and stuff. i try to adapt as much as i can but it's place for far better

oh i mean bet/fold flop, it's pretty standard. no other way you could have played.
bet/shoving is only fine when you know your opponent is bluffing here more than half the time (i think it's really rare in non-aggro limits such as yours) and many people just shamelessly bluff minraise the flop in this spot, knowing that with your 10% 3bet range you rarely hit this board.

7.1% ♦
Just wanted to say I am quite disappointed in this stuff. In the beginning when your confidence was all up high and you thought you could get by allone you were all like "nah im getting coached by TT and dont wanna share any of the things I learn" and now your confidence is smashed and you cant stop tilting and obv want people to add you on skype and help you improve stuff.
I think its: laaaame.
@ vonki: some parts are true with the confidence, but i'm not begging people to add me and help improve, i'm mostly adding them to help improve both of us and i do this now because 1. the part with confidence it's pretty much true and 2. now i have the time to play and now i have time for sweat and stuff.
I am not cocky and stuff, but @ sweat i didn't really want to do it because i only did it once before i did it with TT and i didn't liked it. TT never said not to share my thoughts and stuff, he is not like that, but i didn't felt right to share them because it's basically his knowledge and if he coaches me he just does that to me. You are true that i didn't want to share this stuff, but not because i am selfish or so, just because i though TT would not like it.
Sorry for letting you down. I hope you will change your opinion on me
Ok so today i had the coaching with TT. It was a pretty interesting one, he gave me some tips and stuff. We also ran pretty bad, losing almost 4 stacks, but that's ok i guess ♦. So overall i'm on a negative winning with the challenge so far which obviously sucks a bit.
Here is the total graph:
If the losing streak continues , if i reach 500$ i will drop to nl10 again. I also droped to 4 tables to play focused and analysed situations a bit more.
Also an interesting hand from today session with TT:

I looked at this hand again sir and i think that the river it's pretty bad tbh.
Even if it's half pot i felt he made it with so much confidence and even if i didn't fel that i don't think we beat much here except QT, QK, a J or a bluff, but were that hands raising the flop and then betting the turn and river? I don't really think so. Even if he limped called Kings, which is awfully bad i don't think we have much either, maybe just a bluff catcher. Just my opinion. What do you say?
Btw TT's NL25 vid it's coming out to 2morrow so you better watch it ![]()
Let there be sun
River call for NL25 is not that bad IMO. I don't know where I heard but, if you are calling most river bets then it's better shoving on the turn. Call flop, shove turn generally is a NUTZ line. I know I'm sometimes becoming over aggro but, I think shoving the turn is better in this spot...
I think shoving it's really bad tbh. I mean he bets 4 something and i have ~20. Firstly the shove would be very big and we don't fold better hands and don't get that much worst hands to call. You think a J it's calling? Even KT got there, JQ, Q9, J9 it's calling. I think to a shove even KQ it's folding which we have beat so to sum it up i think it's pretty bad
Well better than calling the river.... That was my point.. You create big fold equity with your big bet and put him on difficult decision if you made str8 or not.
I think these kind of players are capable of calling with a FD too..
i saw that many times...when someone limp/raises preflop. or limp/calls pre and then c/r flop , bet,bet,bet he has a rlly good hand...
@ hand: we get 3,1:1 => we need less than 25% EQ. i think folding can be the way bigger mistake here than calling. we rly cant give him KK, AA too often, rly unlikely.
QJ makes absolute sense ofc
T9 and KT also beat us. but im not positive he c/mr sd on flop oop. dont see that very often by weak plrs.
we just need to be good 1 in 4 on the river. i call here always as played. i also call turn always i think cuz its such a small bet.
however, i think i can be convinced that b/f flop is best. cuz when weak passive plrs c/mr on any street, its usually very strong. that said, we are also very strong here and we beat KQ that he might play that way.
overall, this is not a spot we gain or lose edge. i play it the same and if im beat i make a note. there are other spots where the money is coming from
@ graph: 12k hands nl25? no sample! keep on playing a game. stay focuses, no tilt second. money is coming back soon.
@ sweat session: ofc, u can do sweat sessions with anybody. def. a very good way to improve.
@ all: watch my nl25 vid tomorrow, i think i played and adjusted rly well.

@ all who asked for my bet pot script: here it is for partypoker. mouse wheel increases in sb. i use it for the new party layout + windows vista. if it doesnt work for u, search the forums, im sure there are many other scripts around
Yes sir!
I just got up and now i was trying to figure out a schedule. I kinda have an idea about it, but maybe you guys who also grind would like to share with me your schedule. ![]()
Mine i think will be, or at least for now it's like this:
Wake up : 9AM
Breakfast + morning stuff : 9AM-10AM
Grinding : 10AM-1PM (3 hours)
Break (prolly going swimming cuz i wanna lose some weight and working out gives me a lot of powaaa ♦) : 1PM-3PM
Analysing morning session + videos, articles, books and all this stuff : 3PM-5~6PM
Relax, get my shit together and walk away a bit from computer : 'till 7PM
Grinding : 7PM + (at least 3 hours, prolly till i feel i am able to play)
It's this routine a good one?
Ty guys
