Calculated how many VPPs i need to receive 650$ bonus for 50k FPP before Diamond meeting 26-27 Feb. And it appeared as 890 VPPs daily. Don't know atm how can i reach that amount with my limited BR and decision to play not more than 4 tables simultaneously
Played 2.5h, 1100 hands. Finished -1 BI, and 2 more down by EV. Dunno what's going on, everyone overrides me as he wants. Already sick to see nuts from guys, for whom word "agromakaka" only add tightness.
But regs make funny moves.

On river his timebank has almost expired. I'm afraid to imagine what he thought during these 80sek, incuding he called finally

Well, he watched on TV how Tom Dwan and Ivey calling river with Q-high and stuff like that. And he wants to be a hero. ♦

Going to shop to take my windows. Living pirate production step by step, first HM, then Kaspersky and now Win7.
Ofc then sex during installation process, as usual
Now i will write very nasty post for me but extremely important.
(The fact is i've already did it in russian post should be helpful
)
Recent 2 days were full of action, result is -450$. Including fact that i played only in position to drugged fishes 80/30, plus 1-2 usual, with average skill fishes and close-to-zero regulars. Don't know if it worth to say, guys got into all their outs, no matter how i played, how big and often i bet.
Still nasty moment, but i can't leave it behind, close to end of yesterday playing day in such situation i've come into tilt and lose few stacks by my own dumbness.
Results, or conclusions there comes 2
First, with my BR i can't play in such variable games, so i have to descend to NL25. That very bad fact for me, but i cant close eyes on it anymore.
Side result is i likely won't go to diamond party at the end of February
Second is i won't play more than 9 tables even under gun threat. Usually even 4-6 better.
Also second outcome i should print and pin to the wall near my table or make a tattoo on my forehead and put mirror behind the monitor to see it everytime i play
Hi!
Was it played too bad? How to play river here?

Just finished first session after my 2-days(or even longer - dont remember exactly) rest. Look like downswing slightly dissapeared, guys paid me almost every AA i got. One played 4bet/call w 89o, another one decided to push KQs after 4bet and call before him. Also met some clowns like that:

Btw his nick contains word clown, coincidence? ![]()
Decided not to check my results, play at least one week in blindness. If believe to my feelings, i should be in plus. Started w losing 2-3 BI in strange situations, but than it came to normal.
Also was a pity to lose stack 120bb to fish, didnt believe his limp/3bet and push JJ into him. Faced QQ ofc
But in general im satisfied with my game
Watched second part review of my session. Nice, although i played too tightly, coz it was one of my first shots on NL50 and i was afraid ![]()
link to video. Still in russian
Always believe fish's limp/3bets
They think that move is the nuts with QQ+, and don't usually do it with anything else.
In my experience anyway, the worst hand i've ever seen after that move is AQs.

yeah, agreed. Just was a bit tilted from my winnings, felt like godmode on
Haha we've all done it. I ended up calling a fishes limp/3bet with JJ and then calling him all the way down to the river with an underpair. Was so obvious he had AA or KK
why do you 3bet 99 in that hand? did you have some specific reads on villain? like he likes stacking off light etc.? What is your plan after 4bet? fold or push? I dont see more value in 3beting than in calling w our mid pair and plying fish post flop with solid hand and position
Btw. what would you do on Axx, AKx, QT8 etc boards?

I prefer agressive blind defence. So i play 3bet/fold w middle strong hands by default. Axx and Kxx boards are perfect for cbet, and even 2d barrel, so i dont see what's hard here. QT8 harder, but i think cbet/fold still will be profitable there
Btw, his stats looks more like a reg
![]()
hm blind deffense
but you were OTB in that hand
I thought he was fish (as you wrote sth like "clown like that") anyway I think call >>> 3bet as reg would be mostly in 4bet/fold mode than
unless you think (based on some dynamics) that the 3bet will induce some light stackoff i think that your 3bet will fold yout all worse hands and isolates you against the hands you are either flipping or you are already way behind. and one more thing are you going double barrel Axx and Kxx after call of your 3bet? imo when called on flop regs range consists mostly of Ax or Kx (sth like slowplayed AK - as in your hand, AQ, AJs maybe ATs, QK, KJs) and maybe some pp, although mostly TT, JJ which you may fold out with your 2nd barrrel. but when considering number of combos (i mean when villain calls your cbet on Axx flop) there are way more Ax hands then air/weak hands he will fold to 2nd barrel (similarly on Kxx). so i think its really hard to play this line (hand) profitably in long run ![]()
btw. I dont want to flame here or sth like that
i was just interested in your thoght process
found out I have abt 100 hands on you in ma HM. but I dont play on stars any more so its not like I want to get in your head and exploit ![]()
edit: regarding cbeting/double bareling Axx Kxx - so you 3bet 99 PF to represent Ax/Kx on flop and turn?

as option. I don't think he will have A or K too often. Pairs more likely, or he can fold weak ace to 2d barrel. Also there can be draws on board. I play from the situation, but anyway i prefer to have the initiative on postflop

Dont know what to write really. I'm doing well, especially i like the fact i'm not involved in worrying about results. Of course, sometimes i see without any statistic thst i'm being overridden much more than it has to be(F.e. after losing 3 allins in row with 80+%). However i don't see that in numbers, i dont know how much it decrease my profit, so i'n not worrying to much and soon forget it
One of last hands. SB - average reg, 18/14 per 200 hands, MP - fish 51/26 per 70 hands.
