Won't be too far off that I'd say, maybe 88 and AJs and AQo as well?
See the answer in the edit of my above post, you were closer to the truth than me.
Yes, seen that. So not used to the HUGE stacks of those rebuys but I felt you were a little on the tight side alright.
Hmm, calling with exactly the Nash range there seems a bit uncomfortable to me anyway because of future game considerations: if I double up, I'll become a chipleader with a 34 bb stack with the close second chipleader sitting on my immediate left and being rather LAG, which means that I won't be able to minraise-steal as freely as I'd like to. If I maintain a 16 bb stack, though, I'll be able to push/fold somewhat comfortably, though it would be a very longball approach, but I can't think of another strategy with such a left neighbour.
Use nash only vs people who play using nash, otherwise it is useless. Nash is perfect only vs nash.

Another one for you, just to make you smile.
Week in review
To say that the first week in August has been testing is an absolute understatement!
As I've alluded to above, things have been going from bad to worse during the last 9 days. Confidence has taken quite a big hit and I've even found myself second guessing whether I'm pushing/folding in spots that 10 days ago I was just doing what I should be doing. I haven't been reviewing as much as I'd like although I did watch Collin Moshman's latest video which led me to believe that I am on the right track.
The one good thing so far this month is volume. I've played 209 games so far this month which is more than 26/day which is high for me and I would expect to play a decent sized session today to bring that up even further. Reviews as I've said have been slack but I have started to implement HRC into my reviews which should help me with 3bet calling ranges where I definitely was far too tight.
All-in-all, results are shit but everything else is going fine - let's hope it's just short term because I really don't want to go back looking for 100% backing again - as that would be a disaster. This week I've dropped $326 at my highest peak which is 120BIs right there. Time to arrest this slide and get back to printing money I think!
Games: 209
Winnings: -$174.12
ROI: -33%
ITM: 13%
1sts: 1
2nds: 1
3rds: 0
FTs: 9
Graph:
Weekly plan:
Sunday: 50 games
Monday: 25 games
Tuesday: Study and review
Wednesday: 25 games
Thursday: Off
Friday: 25 games
Saturday: 40 games
Lot's of stuff to do around the homestead today before I start my session. Gl at the tables. Hope it is a profitable Sunday for you all
More pain today unfortunately.
55 games, split into two sessions. 35 and 20.
Had some relative run good early in the day and I got to 3 FTs but again nothing higher than 4th, with a 5th and a 9th for good measure. The 2nd session started excellently. Built 6 decent stacks and was playing really well. However, it all crumbled within the space of 10 minutes when ridiculous hand after hand the tables were disappearing.
I think the best I managed was a 13th and a 20th in that session.
264 games for the month now. Serious volume!

Now the mental part is important, beware of swings up to 200 BI:f_tongue:
Yes indeed. Didn't look after yesterday's session and gonna try not to focus too much on the results this week
Decided against playing tonight and I'm going to review more of yesterday's session.
Had a look at my sharkscope graph and it seems I already had a similar swing in the past that I had forgotten about! So far I'm 146BIs down right now and I really hope that there isn't much more to come! Anything is possible of course. Probably better off reviewing tonight and taking a break after playing the last 2 days.
After downswing it is always better to take a short break and re-evaluate your game, perhaps change is necessary to get back on track. We can do some hand review session somewhere along the week, if that helps.

Reviewed some on my own last night and everything seemed pretty OK except for a few missed shove spots. I also sent out a few HHs to $2.50 regs and got pretty decent feedback. There is things to work on (but I've always known that to) There are mistakes in there mostly where I'm afraid to take risks so I'm going to concentrate on that tonight and try to be more conscious of. I will drop 3 tables to 9 and see how we go.
No poker today as had been planned. Actually, this is the first time I've sat down all day!
I've been presented with a game changer at work. My boss was to fund me to go for a 3 year retail management degree. Basically it's 2 days a month in college for 8 months of the year. I don't know much more details about it yet but it looks like something I should do/consider.
Not sure how poker fits into this scenario but it shouldn't make that much of a difference!
It's a good thing we don't rely on poker income in this house or else we'd all be starving right now
