Try not to analyse what you just finished playing. Try analyse yesterdays sessions. I think it can be better to do so with hindsight.

About the video making I think that fraps wont help because it record games, while poker software is different, although there might be some way how to capture it with fraps, I dont know. Still the video would be huge, I´ve read about some program called "Camtasia" I never used that and I dont know almost anything about it but it might be worth checking I think...

It looks good, def. will use it. Thanks for the advice. Also GL at crushing poor HUSNG guys souls ♦
Didnt get much sleep in the last 2 days, I didnt play really that much but studied A LOT. Since I finally have gold status, I watched about 5 vids from TwiceT(leakfinder, live play) and also Ge5sterne. Realized some more things, will try to implement them into my game(e.g. overbeting turn vs fish to pot shove river, very thin value bets, more isolating even oop with bad hands and much more)
Played a few hands today, field extremely soft as always, no1 playing back at all.

Here not sure if I can get away. After he min3bets I dont like my hand anymore, but its 888 poker and I have the 3rd nuts, so he can have a lot of lower flushes in his range, maybe even sets, so I just get it in. (he had Q2 flush dunno why this convertor doesnt show results).

CO is a fish, SB is a "regular". Considering the fishes stack size I am absolutely fine geting it in vs his range, he has a lot of FD, some Q and maybe even air, so I go for the minraise/fold, after SB pushes I am crushed so nh.

Sb is TAG. I decide to call. On the flop he is cbeting 100% so I call with the intention to take it down on turn. He 2nd barrels the turn, his range for doing this is every overpair, Jx, sets, 2pair and also quite a bit of air, bc he might be putting me on a small pair and just barrel to take it down. I decide to bluff raise this turn becuase it completes some str8s and he will have a very hard time to continue even with overpairs. I dont like raising the flop because if he is using brain somewhat he has to know I dont represent anything.

I have been abusing this poor guy all the time, he was folding 29/30 to 3bets, recently he started calling me oop. I assume he is doing this with a bit wider range than just TT-QQ, AK,AQ. On the flop he snapcalls me, which makes me think he is not very strong and is just fed up with me, I choose to 2nd barrel to fold out all of his ace highs that is not believing(though I think he might even get it in with JJ+,AQ+ preflop against me) and also any random pocket pair lower than JJ. I think a small bet does the same job as a big 1, so I just go for 1/2 pot and he folds. If he calls and river brings an A or K I would ship it in bc he has Jx,QQ there all the time and will have a very hard time calling.
Everything is going great on 888 so far I am up 10BI which is very nice obviously. The main thing is that my NSDW are above 0, on pokerstars I was loosing a lot in my nonsd hands. This is due to the fact that 888 is very passive and I am abusing the regs 100% of the time, on stars this was more difficult bc a lot of people played back somewhat. Also I think I made a very big step forward with my overall game(Thank you TwiceT&Ge5sterne).
in 1st hand I dont like floating w your hand on such board so much. Id rather have some more equity (like 2 overs + some backdoor) and on the turn Id definitelly fold to 2nd barrel. raising is imo quite spewy unless he is real nit and continues only w 2p+. I think any OVP calls at least turn, as 6d on turn is not blank so (if I were villain in this game) u might be doing this w some draws too (A5d, 67s, A3d, 75s, maybe QdKd etc etc - but I dont know exactly how much u defend BB in BvB). anyway, what was your plan on river? especially blank one as basically, given potsize/stacksizes, if called, you are playing for all your stack there.
I agree it would be better to have a backdoor or a GS, but I still like floating him, his cbet flop was 85%. On the turn I am not so sure, it might be spew. But if I was in his place I am folding pretty much everything other than sets bc I feel most people on these limits play the turn very honestly.(ofc I cant assume he is going to do the same and I represent a very polarized range)
Studied a lot today again, played a 3k freeroll just 4fun-it was terribly boring ♦ i got itm 24/750 but boring as hell.
Also Played some hands on NL50

Here I hate my river call, on the flop he doesnt rep much either pure bluff, flushdraw or set. He checks back turn-this means he has air or a FD, river completes the flush and he makes it pot. I mean there are a lot of flushes in his range the way he played the hand, but his size made me call-he has to know Im not strong bc I check turn&river so why on earth would he pot his flush? (he had KhTh)

I think I have to peel here, he is just so polarized, plan was to fold turn if he bombs it, I dont think players on this limit will do many multiple street bluffs, its usually a 1 shot thing. Also since he bets the 2 on th turn makes me believe he has it because its the worst card to bluff for him. (he reps a range of 22,88, A8s, 78s, 89s). My hand doesnt really matter here since if he is giving up on the turn(which I think is very often) I just take it down.

Vs wierd 17/8 pretty passive guy. I think its not good to continue here- his range for doing this totally crushes me, doubt he is ever doing this with Kx or a FD.
NL50 on 888 so far

Because he thinks: Do I have the nuts? Yes? POT!!!
Imo there are two types of fishes:
bluff - bet small, nuts - bet pot
bluff - bet pot, nuts - bet small to not scare him off.
Take note he pots nuts. Altough on 888 you won't see that note that easily

Thats exactly why I hate the call, vs a good thinking player its fine I guess, but not vs 888 "regular".
Will put in some more volume today hopefully, also planning on playing a live SnG today-I have played live twice in my life-both times i ended on the bubble...
The live SnG was a total fail, that wasnt even poker, people open shoving 22 for 100bb and guys calling it off with K6s. I was very bored tbh.
I made a very short 30min video of my play on 888, I have to find a place where to upload it(600mb).

Here against TAGfish. I think is 3bet oop calling range is rather tight and leaning toward something like TT-AA,AK,AQ. He calls flop and turn so in my eyes he has TT-AA(AA and KK only very rarely) river is a Q and he checks so I dont think there is any value in betting, he might be even folding slowplayed kings if he is decent. He told me in the chat that im a complete retard for checking the river, well good to know(he had TT).

Against same guy. I think his turn c/c range is very unbalanced and weak, I feel I have to bet the river, maybe it would be better to just bomb it and overbet to 25, he still might call my 2/3 pot with weak Ax if he is bad.
I uplaoded my 30min video, Its not rly anything special, just standart 30mins of my play on 888, you can check it out here. If you can see some obvious stuff I am doing wrong let me know 
Tried some more live poker today- a knockout bounty tournament. Went with my roomate Konkey. I went busto in 3rd blind level when I jamed AKs and lost to QQ. Live poker riggggggggggggggggged! Will take another shot tomorrow.
Watched a few videos-2 from somnius(rly great stuff),TwiceT leakfinder with some brazilian guy-he played well but the video was pretty boring. Also watched part 1 and 2 Mind the Gap by Siete777, also recommand that very good series.

Vs TAG. I think I have to 5bet shove here, he is opening BU 50% and his value range is so small, also incase I get called I have some equity. This made me thinking what hands are ideal for this move? I put the stuff into the equilator:
I am assuming that he gets it in with TT+ AK,AQ he might be even tighter.
Equity vs small pair:
Equity Win Tie Loss Hand
Player 1: 62,892% 62,670% 0,444% 36,886% TT+, AQs+, AQo+
Player 2: 37,108% 36,886% 0,444% 62,670% 55
Vs small suited ace
Equity Win Tie Loss Hand
Player 1: 69,538% 68,181% 2,713% 29,106% TT+, AQs+, AQo+
Player 2: 30,462% 29,106% 2,713% 68,181% A3s
Vs suited connectors
Equity Win Tie Loss Hand
Player 1: 69,251% 68,980% 0,542% 30,477% TT+, AQs+, AQo+
Player 2: 30,749% 30,477% 0,542% 68,980% T9s
So small pp are a lot better for this(the play is more +ev) but I its very often fine with a low suited ace or connector.

I could bet the turn here, but I dont want to get c/r because commiting myself on the turn with a draw is not a good idea I will be fliping at best. River is the biggest blank he pots....I think he doesnt have almost any Jx in his flop calling range so he doesnt represent anything by doing this.(he had KQ, lol)

We are a bit deeper so I decide to call, not just setmining but also prepared to do some kind of move. He checks the flop, this means he either has showdown value or a monster and is check raising(he is cbeting air here 100%, his cbet was 87%). On the river he suddenly bets on a blank...I cant see myself folding here, I think he is just trying to take it down because I checked twice(I dont think he his capable of valuebeting thin with pocket Q without a club or smthing like that he would very likely either cbet or check it down). But not sure about the call. He showed AcJc(lol)

My volume sucks today, made a 150bb mistake, its so ugly im rather not going to post it ♦
I feel kinda bad since im stuck on NL50 for 3 weeks now, need to grind up 10BI more to start with NL100(w 30BI, I have 2,5k on my acc atm), I also cashed out some moniez so thats slowing down my progress a bit but still.

He doesnt cbet, which is pretty standart on this board. I think he has a lot of Ax in his flop checking back range. I just bet out the turn to fold out some Ax or random pp. Ace on the river-I think this hits him very very often, so I decide to overbet bc he never has the flush(fd is cbeting 100%) so I should be able to get him off any Ax. He tanked for 30s and folded.

Here I go for a tricky play, standard is to c/r turn and bet river, but I think it is just too obvious so I went for c/c flop check turn c/r river. If he has an ace he IS going to bet the river and my c/R is going to look so bluffy. (he had AQ)

Here vs fish(kinda calling station but also donking a lot). I dont know what the best line is here.... any ideas? shove turn? check behind turn? I dont like the bet too much(yes I have a ton of equity) but the problem is what to do on the river when I miss the flush... probably checking back turn is the best play here but not sure.

Hi sir, since we are trying to take same paths and have similiar starting points, I suggest we might work together a little bit.
I haven't played that many hands so far (about 15k swingy hands of NL25) because of the school, work and MTTs, but as semester is coming into the end, I am more than interested to put some serious time to both playing and learning online cash games.
Add me on Skype or ICQ (or both) - tommolivan/234473811
