Much like Christchurch, my poker career has become a pile of devastated rubble. Now it is time to rebuild. The plan is to crack back into the 25nl 6max and try and build a solid game to attack the low stakes 6max games. Im putting more focus on learning and improving than grinding for hours to build a roll. This is partly because mindless grinding didn't work last time and also that my roll has over doubled in the time I haven't been playing due to a couple donkaments. I'm going to put in somewhere between 10k and 20k hands at 25nl to establish a rough indication as to whether I'm winning or not then give 50nl another shot. Last time I was mentally under-rolled and bitched out after loosing 4 buy ins so I want to be a bit more prepared for another shot. So here we go:
Ive played 3300 hands so far over 5 short sessions with a bit of success. Having no worries stacking fish as I'm running nicely and I'm pretty much staying out of the way of any aggression. My red line is still shooting down pretty quick unfortunately, I think this is a product of my passive postflop game. Something Ive got to improve.
First hand is fairly straight forward. I don't think raising the flop is ever a good move here so I let the fish price me in. I think the turn is a good spot to fire one as I'm going to have trouble even getting a straight to call on the river with a 4 card flush on the board. What are your thoughts on river bet sizing?
The next hand is one that is closer than I first thought when I spazzed out and did it:
The fishes calling range on this flop is soo wide I raise the small cbet from the TAG for value and to protect against draws. I think the TAG is folding without a strong club. The fish check jams. Be interested to see how anyone else plays this.
Anyway, enjoying the game again and looking to really put a bit of time into learning how to play for a change.

id bet $9 on the river for the first one, he will call $6 or $9 no difference. fish dont fold straights or a flush unless u bomb it. like how u played it
ReplyDeletelast one i dont like the flop raise. allows the fish to fold worse A and the pf raiser is kinda strong to bet into 2ppl especially if 1 is a fish. dont see how any worse hand than your can continue in the hand. fold to shove. look how passive the guy is 52/7 unless u have note he thinks Arag is the nuts here.
i call flop, fold to fish raise unless have read,
fold to reg turn baral is fish either fold/calls flop.
6max for life
Yeah I didn't like my play at the time on the second one, It was the last hand of my session and I was just clicking buttons (I'm not a super 4 hour grinder). The reasoning for the raise was not to give the fish infinite odds to call with his 2 of clubs. I'm pretty happy with calling his raise as there is all sorts of shit hes jamming with. Cheers for the comments.
ReplyDeletewat were the results oof each hand?
ReplyDeleteYou should know results don't matter. First hand I bet 12 and he folded. I can almost guarantee he had KQ for the flopped straight donk bet. Should have gone with 9.
ReplyDeleteSecond hand he had 8h3h and I obviously sucked out with an ace on the river.
