Next months I will play NL50 SH on Pokerstars. Previous blogs: NL5 Blog, NL10 Blog, NL25 Blog
Getting coached by BrokeSoBroke since NL10, it took me a while to really understand how great he is and how great will i be.
But now that i see it, am expecting future to be like a walk in the park. My goal is to achieve a winrate of 8bb/100 at NL50 SH.
From 15.02.15, I will play at least 2000 hands/working day (4 tables, 6hours, around 50k hands/month).

My personal targets trough the limits
at 25 NL - exploitative stats, sizings, spots
at 50 NL - exploitative ranges, note taking and betting the river GTO style (top/bottom of value/bluff range)

My personal short term targets
-write on paper the gto ranges
-write on paper 14,20/19,25/28,35,40/50,60,70% ranges
-make equilab river decision excersices (call/fold)
-learn to play the river gto style (to understand how many bluffs i should have)
-Create ranges from SB vs BB (ORFI ranges , Calling 3b ranges, 4b ranges, Calling 5b ranges)
-Create ranges for BB vs SB (Cold-calling ranges, 3b ranges, Calling 4b ranges, 5b ranges)

Mistakes to read before i start a session:
-do NOT level
-play tighter vs fishes
-x/c, donk line is good strong hands usually
-dont bluff people of TP bc they call even 150 bb
-going all in preflop m-way w 99-TT is bad (25% equity vs fishes)
-when u make an autoprofit move, stop spewing if it didnt work (b, x/f even TP is ok )
-always think what range do i play in this spot . I am a thinking player! not just pressing buttons
-when i cbet i should know what Turn cards i would barrel (this way i look if i have backdoor stuff)
-when i barrel with equity , if i dont hit then i give up! I dont ship river unless the exception:
-exception: when the board has a good runout so that villain hand becomes weakish to mediocre.
-use the rules for betsizing (hand strenght , board texture, villain) bet big vs fit fold w strong hand bc hand strenght is most importand

Lesson 1: Open Raising & Calling Ranges
Lesson 2: 3-betting Ranges
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In these 2 vids i rewatched... about exploitative calling and 3b ranges (not many vids like these so i recommend.. it gives a little insight on exploitative ranges and it helped me prepare some questions for my coach)

Excercises to boost my instinct
- UhlvarEquity random excercises
- equilab vs 3b excercise (call/fold)
- equilab river decision excercise (call/fold)

Homework
- BB vs SB (constructing exploitative cc/3b ranges)

(unknown excercise yet)
- river betting

Thinking further about merging 3b point.. and when to use the gto ranges ... not sure how correct is my thinking but here it goes
Excluding 4b, main factors would be ft3b and then ftcb

when we 3b
3bb to 5bb => FEQ=5/9.5=52.6% (100% value)
if FEQ=60.8% (50% value?!?)
3bb to 9bb => FEQ=9/12=66.7%(0% value)

cbet in 3bp
if we bet 50%*pot => FEQ=0.50/1+0.50= 33% (100% value?!)
if FEQ= 41% (50% value?!?)
if we bet 99%*pot => FEQ=1/1+1= 50% (0% value?!)

When to play GTO ranges hmmm?
Ft3b 61% +- 6% ............% value 50%
Ftcb 41% +- 4% ............. % value 50%

so my conclusion is that 50/50 value/bluff ranges should work optimal at around Ft3b=61%

Can you elaborate why GTO-ranges in your opinion mean 50% value,50% bluff?
