Samba Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 Definitely feeling sharper, still making lots of mistakes though. Played the €25 bountys on sunday and shipped the Battleground for €850. Ran hot on the FT and won every all-in to HU where I had a decent battle with a guy who coolered me down to 15bbs but I battled back and picked him off a few times to get 2:1 and then coolered him back FTW. EZ game Gonna try and get more volume in so the blog will be a bit more interesting. Sam 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samba Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 Everyone is bad at PLO mtts. Here's an example from a 15k PLO FT that Alex Foxen blunders and the commentators completely ignore it "because ICM". 4 people left, payouts: 1 - $348,600 2 - $224,100 3 - $161,850 4 - $118,275 Hand starts @ 3:02:20 Duek opens 3559 badugi in CO to 2.5BB with 45BB. A trash open with no A or K to block 3bet ranges and very bad equity. He chooses to open it in this config "because ICM" I would go out on a limb and say he is basically opening 95% if he is opening this. 12BB and 10 BB shorties fold and Foxen has AAQ4ss suited to the A with 35bbs. He elects to flat "because ICM" Which the non-pro commentator immediately starts talking about whilst JNandez stays quiet and lets the blunder happen. Definitely the meta for most of the crushers who commentate. Playing this hand passively is fine but what about if you actually think you're good. What about if you actually think you're a favourite HU vs all of them? How about we put some ICM pressure back on the bad CL with the preflop nuts? Lots of good things happen, he folds pre and now you are basically tied for 1st. He calls and you arrive at a flop with AA and an SPR of ~1.5. Not so bad. You're still in 2nd if you have to x/f the flop Instead, he plays passively and gets bluffed off on the river after calling 2 streets. Eventually laddering to a 2nd place finish whilst Duek spews it off (standard) and finishes 3rd. This preflop mistake is worth 5 figures. Imagine getting to play 4 handed vs this caliber of opponent and still noticing these types of blunders. It's a fucking gold mine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samba Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 I don't understand the picture, does it mean the solver wants to float 80%? And yeah there are flop 3bets, just didn't think 67o makes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estzen Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I ll look tha up when I get GTOwiz up again. No the hand is preflop, I thought you were sayng pre also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samba Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 Checked it myself on GTOwiz, it likes opening it ~37% of the time. I don't think GTOwiz are the best ranges to use though, for example it wants to call off with T9s if you minraised it. The ranges I use it is a pure limp. Nevertheless, I guess I was wrong in my previous statement "I know it isn't a raise" so thanks. That being said, I don't think GTOwiz uses the most profitable GTO matrix since noone is calling off with T9s, JTs, A7o etc. so if you aren't calling off with those hands then mixing raise with all of these hands + overfolding to shoves will just get you farmed.

Estzen Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Havent seen the total ranges there, what do you mean by calling off T9s JTs? , you mean jamming them pre? HU is pretty complex stuff, from time to time I look over the stuff again and revisit, but its something I need to get much more into cuz its sometimes pretty frustrating. Its pretty crazy how different it all really is. Would be interesting to see post-flop stuff from Wiz. Imo always a benefit no matter what.

Estzen Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Oh that too. 20BB usually starts to like limping strat a lot, but vs some passive players, raising just out performs so much when the dont defend rightly, nor even Jam properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samba Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 @Estzen I was talking about the 25bbs GTOwiz ranges for HU MTT, it advocates mixing 67o and if u minraise ur calling off with T9ss pure if u didn't limp it. Which noone is doing. So if they raise GTOwiz ranges they massively overfold to jams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samba Posted April 28 Author Share Posted April 28 Put in a lot of volume at lowstakes PLO this week and ran awful, booked a small win overall + the rakeback which is nice. Should have won more but tilted off ~ €100 in some spots that I wouldn't have played the same if I wasn't running bad. Like this river spot vs a random who is taking the classic recreational "I have the nuts" line and I still jammed river. Not having the J to block 2nd set would have made it a lot more reasonable, theoretically it's obv fine but this is exploit city. NH WP GG GL SIR. Hand plays itself "SunGlasses4" is the player of the week though, he's mastered the min 3b with napkins /call 4b and flop the nuts XD 4b pre: Went for the tarp with double bdnfd + extremely bad board for range XD Blog Profit: £13800 Sam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samba Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 3x25PLO tickets + 50 rakeback from €250 rake. Pretty insane really. Bricked 2 of them but had a nice spin on the 3rd. Ran so good I almost felt bad for my opponents. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samba Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 No PLO games running so had to turn my attention to the lowstakes hexapro streets. 9 tabling and found myself sitting out on a table in the heat of it. It's crazy how I used to be able to play 24+ and surf the net at the same time, now I can't play 9. BOOMER confirmed 1/1 so far 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samba Posted May 2 Author Share Posted May 2 Managed to spin my 2000 bonus points up to €180, 4th in some €10 PKO and 8th in the title fight. Unbelievably soft field. A mix of people opening 4x and super nits. One guy "Socrat3" played ok, still way too tight though. Bustout hand was close, if I was playing my best I could maybe have exploited the guy and flatted but it felt like heresy. Guy who is way too tight and has no bluffs 2.5x off 35BB from SB and I have 16BB in BB with 88. I am just meant to lose if he has me beat but he doesn't have any of the hands in the 2.5 range that he is meant to, it's probably all just preemos. Hadn't seen him open anywhere close to GTO or 3b light at all. But since I am a chimp , I paused and thought all of this over and then jammed anyways and lost to JJ. GG Gonna have to start playing the title fight if it's that soft though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samba Posted May 2 Author Share Posted May 2 2nd in the €10 PLO bounty where I played reasonable and 1st in the community tournament where i played bad , no idea how i won that one. Had a bet running on the snooker with good odds for bingham to win it but cashed out since he is looking tired. Won't be playing much this weekend as my niece is staying over for a few days and we are having a homework catchup and study session and then pc gaming night. The entire syllabus of the study session was made by chatgpt in about 10 minutes, would have taken me hours. Anyone who isn't using it I would highly recommend giving it a go!

Samba Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 Tried playing higher to play the CRS and the same thing happened that always happens. I ran incredibly bad, what a fucking surprise. AA cracked twice, 0/3 flips and 0/4 80/20s Just stuck playing micros until i give up i guess. Gotta watch people play like shit flinging apes and win and then go back and grind for 2 months to get a buyin and rinse and repeat. Tilted off what I had left on roulette and busted account.

Samba Posted May 8 Author Share Posted May 8 Same old same old in the 50 & 100 CRS so far, losing all the of the big pots to people who are trying their best to give me stacks. Yet to cash in any of them. Last nights €100 bustout hand, Guy tries punting me 5 stacks pre with A4o for 17bbs after i open KK from CO and rivers a boat. leaves me with less than 1bb and I am out. WP m8 Final tabled the €25 but went out in 5th to get out of the hole for the last few days. Misplayed one hand with 2 tables left where I missed a cbet with AJo and lost an extra 2.5bbs because of it. Otherwise I played sharp. Won a massive pot with 2 tabes left vs the "_____S_____" reg guy to give me a top 5 stack that noone else wins. Random donk limper was adding a dynamic that you can't study with the conventional stuff. Limper limps off 14bb (so far he has limp folded to jams 5/5 and x/f flop every other time he has limped) We are in the money now though so he could definitely be strong this time but so far he has always had 2 napkins. SB completes, I check , flop is , SB check, I lead 1.5 into 4 and am exploit bet folding vs both. Limper folds. SB calls turn bring flush draw. SB checks Only hands I am losing to are 22 (3 combos), 89s (1 combo) or 67ss (4 combos) and sometimes he raises flop with 22 or 89s sometimes vs my perceived strong lead. 88 and 99 jam pre. So adjusted by his occasional flop raise with his value I lose to 5-6 combos of hands. Only gonna be a 2 street hand a lot of the time and my hand is vulnerable whilst also being the effective nuts. I jam 214% pot 14.9BB effective (I cover) and he calls with K9o. Maximum value in a fake cooler River was and if I went for a geometric sizing strat I def might miss river value vs K9o no spade.
