I hope that thing in the picture isn't what I think it is @GR1ZZL3R 🤣🤣

Not that I'm personally interested lol but does open jamming AA and everyone folding count as a win? 😀

And another year gone, flies past when you are having fun 😛 Have requested my stats for last month so will see when it gets through, have made €1,053 profit but that's with bonuses etc, rough guess is I made about €750 maybe and played about 35k hands I think. Wouldn't say I'm overly impressed about this lol. I def can do better, still lose too many stacks in spots where I shouldn't lose em but I could also run a bit better at times. Will take some money off to re-new my poker scientist sub, still waiting to see if they will be giving out any discount but I already have a 20% one so that's prob what it's going to be, will cost me €540 for the year which is actually pretty cheap anyway. Will definitely use it more this year looking at my own play and using the trainer. Plan for the rest is just to stay at 50NL for now (and hopefully don't move down lol) building up the bankroll and keep working on my game. Last year was pretty swingy just because of bad play etc which I hope I have better under control now. I have put in a lot more work towards the end of last year + played more as well and I've been pretty happy with the way the last month and half have been. Still making obvious mistakes but my overall play seems more disciplined and structured than before. We will see what the next few month bring starting with this month. Have kept my x12 Bonus Point multiplier so that keeps adding up and bankroll should still be around 2k after I withdraw some for poker scientist so think it's all set for a decent start of this quarter. 1.5k New Years flip, missed the money by about 10 places or something, think I had 54o lol, not sure how I ended up so close to the money after only one hand and with that hand. Few hands in the spoiler:

Where is everyone? Is there something special on tonight? 🤔

I'm a pessimist, what can I say 😝

First news, RIO is shutting down on the 2nd, no real surprise but bit of a pity, quite like the software just no games running which is its downfall, would have been nice if it had traffic like Unibet but hey ho, will have to withdraw my 'big' bankroll on there unless I go broke by Sunday 😅 Unibet -> played 7h yesterday 😮 and was a real struggle, 4.5 buy ins down which is all in all not too bad. Lots of big hands not going my way. Probably also lost some concentration during these long sessions. CO opens, BTN calls, I squeeze to iso BTN who is halfstacked, he calls and at this point I'm never folding as SPR is almost 1:1 for him, I bet small mainly to induce but I could jam as well and he minraises lol, I just jam and he calls, T9o nice hand sir... and he gets there. All in pre flop hand, not too special but QQ villain is same villain as hand above 🙄 CO limps, I raise SB calls and so does CO, both recs, CO bets out small on flop and I call, SB minraises lol and CO calls and I re-raise 3x and they both call again, CO open jams turn and easy call and same for SB... and we don't hold up again... I open QQ, get 3b, I 4b and SB calls, I cb flop and get jammed on... I folded this as what does he realistically have here, or a sneaky AA-KK or more certainly JJ TT as those get more called preflop I'd say... and maybe 89s/TJs, I folded as there aren't really any draws on the board, don't see much I beat... I open BTN again, get 3b, I 4b and he calls, terrible flop, flop goes x/x, turn goes x/x and I call a big bet on the river... same as hand above this flop hits a 4b calling range a lot, but I think I have to call river as we are deep so range could be a bit wider but my hand is maybe underrepped as I could have QQ no diamond? I'm also hoping to win vs a hand like even AK or a broadway hand with a Q in it or one diamond or a plain bluff with 99 or whatever. Not to be lol. And this is actually a loss of concentration / tilt hand... I faced a lot of hands like the one above and following hand is a slamdunk easy fold, being deep again as well... I open KK get 3b from SB, I 4b and he calls, already hating the flop lol and goes x/x, I bet 1/3 on turn and get x/r BIG and I called, then faced a big bet on the river and just called again. Obvious tilt calls turn and river. Wasted money there. Sometimes hard to stay disciplined if you face hands like this over and over for a short period of time and you get this feeling that you have to fold vs everything and everyone like people start to bluff you left right and centre but obviously that's not the case. Sessions could have been worse but I think I could have walked away breakeven at least. Live and learn and make a profit again today 🙃 Also my thoughts on deepstacked poker:

I guess reading the info it just counts the amount you have lost vs the amount you have won and does not take equity into account. I think lots of stats just give you a vague idea and you don't have to interpret them literally. The way I look at this playing mostly cash games is that if you have more lost than won you run extremely bad or are just jamming too loose yourself as I get all-ins vs fun players who jam sometimes any 2 so your equity should be way ahead of these and should show you winning more than losing. Like my stat here it looks like I'm running hot but I get premium hands in vs A7 / A9 / 77 / 22 / T9 etc etc Same for the bad beat section, my hand QQ is vs someone who limp called my raise with AT and flopped quads. So I lost with a boat vs quads. Don't think it is particularly interesting as the 'best' bad beat this way will be a A high royal flush vs a 9 low straight flush. (at the moment it is a K high vs a 8 low straight flush). There are indeed better bad beats in the sense of the description, like I had QQ all in not long ago vs AK on a flop KQ2 and the board runs out 2-K (scarred me for life 🤣)

Someone donating a stack, thanks a lot, online poker is dead 😛 LoL line of a reg, I open he calls in BB, I cb he x/r I call, he x/r me again on the turn, using the whole timebank followed by a jam 😂 sure mate all that thinking with the nuts probably 😂😂😂 So far won 2000 BP (€20) with santa flips, I always collect after 4 flips which gives me 400 BP. 2 days to go, one buy-in away from 3k lol, hope we get there even as a symbolic target, swings go up and down but would be nice to end the month and year above that number 😎 not going to cry about if it doesn't happen lol, at least the giraffe has been going upwards this month, happy enough with that already.

I wouldn't want to join a freeroll that invites people like me anyway! Thank you very much!

Trying to incorporate some "next lvl plays", doesn't always work out 😅 I open A5s and get min 3b, easy call, he 1/2 cb flop and I call, pretty close already I guess with no spade (pretty close = that's what the pro's always say 😂) turn goes x/x and then he bet 1/2 on riv again, feels weak, think it's not a bad raise on the river with my exact hand. Try a 3x raise.

AA obsession ITT

J2s hand, don’t think there is another way of playing it OOP as I wouldn’t donk the turn either after he bet the flop. Hope you bombed the river at least.

All I can see is a steady profit, what are we complaining about? 🤣

Think I rather watch the other stuff on his site for free 🤣

Oh feck, I'm like 30 or something, bloody crap 😂 Also, this video is just a teaser to get you to sign up on his site, pretty pricy 😅 I'll just take his free Youtube vids thanks 😄

They were going to double the pay out after this 'bug' was highlighted. Imo they should fix this issue with the 2 ticket buy in so you can add the 2nd one later to top up your 1st buy in, seems a bit silly not being able to.

Don't think I've posted this one here before but this is another solid (and free) cash game player on Youtube, not that many videos but just watched a few starting from the oldest ones and they are pretty decent, worth a check for those that are interested: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC22I6ZnngwMiSII2p456XqQ

I’m lost in my own blog, I honestly have no idea what the last posts are about, someone get me a translator 🤣🤣

Working our way up again atm, been a bit swingy and played 100NL a few times when 50NL was mostly dead or no seats available, running pretty crap at 100NL so far lol. This is a lvl 6 loyalty tab, a novelty really but managed to beat my previous record today which was 621 BB or something. Bit of a task of getting to a 20 buy in stack lol. Few hands: Open KK UTG, get 3b, cold called by a fun player and squeezed by the BB, easy jam, rec calls and BB folds. Very strange squeeze fold of the BB, trying to iso the BTN I understand that but after an UTG open and a CO 3b it's not a standard iso... burning 25.5bb imo. Trying to bluff a fun player and he snap called me on the river lol. Poker is dead, nothing special, all in pre, nothing special of my end anyway 😆 100NL , BTN opens, SB is a shorty who also plays at 50NL, prob the only short stacker I often see but he does keep playing when doubling up etc, wouldn't say he is the best player... here he 3b and I 4b and he ends up calling... 🙄 Crappy flop really and goes x/x, don't see any point in betting as I'm not folding anyway and just as well keep his spasm jams in with air... So we call his jam on the turn and... 99 for a flopped set... beautiful... When it goes limp limp and I raise and half the table calls again... lovely flop lol. Hand at 50NL vs short stacker from above, he 3b me pre with QTo lol but easy call with AQs, call flop cbet, turn goes x/x... ffs typical river again... I hate 4 flush boards 😠 And a random hand where I wasn't involved in but: BTN opens, SB 3b small, BTN calls, SB x flop and BTN bets 1/2 and SB calls, SB then donk bets pot on turn lol and BTN raises to 56bb and SB jams... BTN FOLDED NEXT !!! can't make it up lol for another 12bb Hoping to reach 3k bankroll by end of this week hopefully, games should be good enough this week as more people are off with the holidays so hoping to capitalize on it!

Think it was for this tournament and I have a spare one too, says you can use up to 2 tickets but don't think I could use the 2nd one to register so f knows.

I vote this worst thread title of 2021 !!

@GR1ZZL3Rwish it was true but I'm not that good 😅

Again not too sure where to put this but had a weird bug today where I had a few tables open and I was queued for a new table, only me in the queue. On one table I was playing heads up and the other player left so I got asked if I wanted to join a new table and I say yes although I'm in the queue anyway and it closed that table and the table where I was in the queue at sat me on an empty table with just me, the table I just left I guess lol.

So that's my cold pretty much gone now, about time, feels like it was worse than covid although I can't compare as I haven't had covid unless that cold was actually covid without being detectable by a test 😅 Maybe it was a common cold having a levelling war with covid 😂 Poker wise, not been the best week, variance turned its back on me lol. Had a session a week ago where I opened up a table of 100NL along a few 50NL tables as 50NL was barely running and managed to lose 2 stacks, lost one flip and played some 3b pot really bad whilst having a premium hand. Bankroll peaked at €2600 but now back down just above 2k. Mostly just not getting wins with flips and not hitting many hands and draws and lately too many hands going multiway too. Maybe 5% tilt out of frustration as it still happens at times but I don't go in batsh!t crazy mode anymore like I did years ago 🤣 Had a cash in a small xmas unibet community tournament last night, final table 3 way was a bit weird as stacks were about 10bb's and I just ended up folding or shoving. Not too sure what the best strategy is here imo, still happy enough with getting to the money, once it was 3 way it's imo just luck of the cards with those stackdepths. Poker Scientist subscription just expired last night and I'll probably end up buying it again for the year but will see if there is any decent deal coming up for X-mas or New Year, I found another code online that will give me 20% so will cost me €540. Don't think there is any tax added on top of that now. @KrustyTheClown @Estzen Also had a look at 4b ranges at all positions vs all other positions before my sub ran out, I'm going to have a better look when these spots come up in videos I watch as it is quite interesting. Seems in general when OOP (UTG-MP-CO) you 4b suited broadways more together with A5s/A4s and the frequency goes slightly up the closer you are to the BTN. When IP aka facing 3bets from SB and BB, we seem to call these suited broadways more and 4b bluff with suited hands that have blockers to Ax and Kx it seems. The likes of A2s/A3s/A7s/A8s and K4s/K5s/K6s/K7s/K8s although frequencies change depending on the position which I have no clue of why lol. Then BTN vs SB and BB it 4bets the AJo/ATo/KJo quite often 33%-50% and similar as above A2s/A6s/A7s and K4s/K5s SB vs BB 4bets ATo like 75% and AJo like 90% and then just A3s/A4s/A5s/A6s with A4s 50% and the others 25% ish. That's at least what I can make out of it the now, obviously every 4bet range has a reason as it counters a 3b range and what not but it's something I will keep an eye on when watching live play videos and see what the pro's do. Obviously as I said before, the lower your stake the less valuable it will be as people don't 3bet enough so there is no point in 4betting wide. But good to keep in mind and even think about it in game which I will do even if I won't use it, at least it will train my brain to memorize ranges more or less. So off for a week now as lots of people I guess. Hope we get to run a bit better again and double the bankroll before New Year 😂 Just need to keep focused and disciplined. Enjoy the holidays everyone!
