Hi mykl1812,

Welcome to our blog section! Looking forward to see your blog growing!

Any questions, just give us a shout
Ingrid

Havent played HU in July yet because of school, only managed to finish around 400th place in sunday storm.

My plan is 1000hands/day, so now it is 31/23 --> 1350h/day

Probably gonna start grinding tonight. ♠_cool:

Played only 400hands today - warm up..

I'm not confident or happy with my game

100 hands were against guy with 60% 3b which is insane. So I started minraising button and he continued 12bb 3betting.. I didnt adjust well, actually I didnt know exactly how. Have to think about that, because I think his play is easy to exploit. (but PTR shows he's 6BB/100 50NL winner over large sample, weird ♦ )
any ideas how to crush that strategy are welcome aswell ♠_cool:

lol @ this hand

I was playing in good mood today, something like B game - made several bigger mistakes..

Nothing special to mention, played vs various guys - probably with only one or two better players..

I wasnt sure if I have to bet this river.. he would folded i guess ♠_grin: Dunno even know exactly what he had there

I would be happy if someone of you can say something about ongame - how big is action @ NL50, any fishes there and how long is timebank?

grrr... need some f***ing motivation!
graph of the last 3 days - I should be play that amount of hands in one day :((

nothing extra ordinary, bad italian guys are calling my overbet bluffs very often ♦

also in these 3 days I saw all 3 series of Inbetweeners, like it a lot

-----------------------------------------------

Today's nice beat, probably 10th hand - thought its gonna be end of match, but..

he gave me money back in 50hands, so ok..

----------------------------------

And one bad played hand by me vs not that good villain (but he won over buyin against me without any big pot..)

I guess river should be something like 1/3bet or shove as bluff.. (but fold flop is best against this guy )

Hey!

Sorry to ask but have you ever been playing Heads Up cash? I play micros and I saw here some hands that I can't understand at all your mindset about them...

Imo, if you want to play HU and you don't mind about rb you should go to PS, just do a bit of table selection with PTR and you'll be able to catch up big donks..

hey, like i wrote, im starting with hu cg now..
I play on 3-4 sites, PS mostly cos of action I got there (probably Im gonna reach goldstar in August, but it still sucks ) Other sites are with nice RB.. Also had something over 20BIs on FTP, which was my favourite site

Just ask about hands, we can discuss.. I try to post some interesting hands only

For example, in the last hand that you post the one with K4o.

What's your plan when you call the flop for the next streets?

Imo, I'd attack the river only if he checks the turn, you really put him w/ air when he c/r that flop?

He was x/ring a lot, he can have SD's, FD's,5x and maybe some BS and 6x
So I think I can be there good very often, altought its not nutz..
Turn changes nothing, river comes only BD flush and AdXd, 6x beats me.. so there is still lots of hand i can beat.. but it is kind of spewy play obv ♦

wow.. today is not my day probably.. so many coolers ♦

lost around 200 against godmode donk - he cracked my AA 2times when he flop'd set after calling my 3b.. then flush over flush and lot of small pots where I cannot find fold button

against another one i lost flush over flush again..

Like i said, not my day - dont know if Im gonna play today

today..

finally 1000+hands day, terrible yesterday helped me to put more volume..

Still waiting for better AI EV run..

------------------------------------------

No special hands, got only one where I dunno best play

maybe 20-30th hand, big 3b sizing w/ 35% freq.. think he calls 4b w/AXs, suited connectors, AA,KK he probably shoves, cos it was my first 4bet

really weird hand ♠_confused:

Im not happy with my play in last days, Im kinda frustrated of winnings.. Im like "i should be beating these donk..", but it didnt happen..

Today I sat down at GBP table for the first time and some nitty donk won almost BI from me
I hate that type of opponent..
made few bad calls

OR..

maybe if he bets river around $3 it could be ok call, but here he probably wasnt going to bluff turn and river with FD

----------------------------------------------

Also change of plan - Im going on vacation caravan trip to Italia and Croatia with friend on Monday - we're planning be there for 10-12days

If you know any good camp where to stay or a place we should visit - let me know

Im happy that will be break from poker, but 10days is a lot and I have to start again in grind..


So July is total disaster so far, its probably cos of bad play and also little because of bad run. I cant see me play NL200 in august, so my new goal is only NL100 at the end of august + 30k hands in next month.

added you on community

july overall - fail

but played less then 1/2 month... Im looking forward to August grind
will be back next wednesday or so.
