Gl sir, i will follow you in your lockdown mode (6 h/ day) ♦

It's the challenge with the hands still up?

sure but your 6h a day beats my 4h. what can we do it for?

♦ well i'm not really willing to play less cuz i need to put a lot of volume in.

i play 4 tables so if you play 6 i think that would be fair. what do you say?

that sounds good because we both will play 24 hours of 1 tabling. 6x4 for me and 4x6 for you.

GL

if you grind that hard you don't need no luck

Rakeback ftw=/ Gl... You still playing 50nl?

rakeback will be nice and sexy I am back at 25NL. Last week I was spewing a lot and didnt want to spew at 50nl because I will lose a lot, so I am just waiting for the right opportunity to take shots again.

Well I can do it till September if you want, but its really up to you. We can do it for like 50bb at our limit or more. I am not really fussed about a prize Its not really about beating you, well it is but I am more focused on grinding a super amount ♦

K so challenge it's up this month and the prize will be set @ the end ♦.

we can't set the prize at the end because whoever wins will want a big prize and whoever loses will want a small prize ♦

haha, this is kinda true. Ok so will leave it 25BB at the limit we are @ the end ♦

So day 1 has completed and I managed to fit 2060 hands and made just over half a buyin. I was really disappointed with that as I was up 6.5 buyins and then all hell broke loose. I just was getting completely card dead / coolered. Overall I think I played really well. There were a few questionable spots and I spewed a little but I played good. You can see the graph from today below:

Things I focused on today include:

• 3betting light against super loose steals
• Thinking about the board texture more and whether I can continuation bet or not
• Looking for more spots to flat a raise on the button with speculative hands
• Folding more single pairs to raises post flop

I will post some hands tomorrow but I am going to sleep soon and not really in the mood to evaluate.

I only posted two hands, mainly because nothing was interesting and mostly standard. I don't need to post me winning a AK v QQ flip.

• 25NL SH - K9o OESD + NFD on turn, probably committed
• NL25 SH - JJ facing 3bet from fish

I am also going to post in a few other hand evaluations and try to help people out. Also sweating a player struggling at 10NL later today.

Was just thinking, i think i need to do something like this... In my poker career i havent played more than 4k hands in a day... And im a reg at 100nl. Thats kinda strange huh.

Btw how many tables are you playing of 25nl? I'd play like 4 tables of 50nl rush poker. Players are terrible, and the rakeback is good ♠_biggrin: Also less time playing, more time patying =/ Thats a bonus.

I don't really like rush poker very much. So I am just going to stick to 6 tables regular tables.

Hey guys

Check out my main blog which I just finished setting up at:

Blog

I am going to post weekly / monthly poker updates there along with more things happening in my life. On here I will continue to post random updates, videos, and daily poker updates.

I know that I use the same theme as a coach uses but I intended on using this before I saw his blog. Although when I come across a better free theme I will make the switch. I don't really have enough time to design and code a theme myself.

Summer Lockdown: Day 2

Hello

So I had a pretty good 2nd day to my summer lockdown winning two buyins. I managed to play more hands than the previous day but playing the exact same amount of time. I must have been on some good fast tables.

Yesterday I watched the last episode in the Coaching Kristy series. It was at 200NL so a lot of stuff didn't apply but I started watching the series at 50NL so I thought I may as well finish the series. Today I watched a TwiceT video where he is coaching a 50NL SH player on Full Tilt. It was pretty interesting especially the 4bet any two cards against a villain who only 3bets QQ+ or air.

If anyone has any new series to recommend that I watch please let me know as I am struggling to find content to watch.

Yesterday I emphasized a lot on table selection and exploiting the bad players a lot more than usual. I couldn't find an amazing amount of fish using Table Scan Turbo so I was forming my own tables and letting the fish play with me. I found that every table than I created at least 2 fish would join the table. It was great for me that I had fish on the table but my heads up game isn't the best so I struggled at times. Also is it bad that I sit out when a reg sits at a 6max table when it's heads up? It's probably unethical but I don't really see any point playing a regular playing heads up when the rake is already high.

Here is the graph from yesterday:

Here is my graph with both days combined. Hopefully you will be able to see the graph build through the months.

Speak soon

What limit do you play and at what site?

GL @ Tables

I play 25NL 6max on Full Tilt

Thanks, GL to you

it's not unethical. Trust me, he aint joining the table cuz he wants to play vs you, he joins because he expects fish to join.

I did it all the time on ftp too
