I think Blackrain probably is a decent player, but I dont find his analysis something Im overly fond to listen to. He seems to be some cash reg, who knows enough from the old days, but I dont see much depth in his videos. At some points, I ve also thought that his help is not worth much. At points seems too tight at many occasions, its like reading an old book about SNGs and find out that AQ should be folded <- thats just crap what we know today. Crap, that seemed to be good at old days. But this crap for sure can help someone run +EV at 1dollar, 2dollar, 5dollar games.

Getting L5 with playng MTTs exclusively 🤣 , My loyalty seems as a joke for you xD

I laught so hard when I was watching the full episode on this 😄

Nice punt. out runned?

KQ is very nutted call at this situation. You are certainly overfolding if you make folds at this point, EVEN IF you would lose some of the times and get into small stack because of these calls, the overall EV of these calls would make you more bigger stacked games and more bigger wins overall. The suited ones are not even a question here.. . If someone is a specially nity could make some extreme fold, but otherwise just click it and run it no matter what. (havent read the under comments yet, havent been much active to read the forum)

I have not been able to play as much UOS as I planned at first due to live stuff. But here are 2 screens with results. Today Im tired, will post other hand stuff later too. Too bad that I had not screened results on the lower one.

was nice , but got only into 203 eur. It would be good if , the client would remember your stack like, when people leave a table and you have 3 players and suddely 2... shouldnt be a HU. So to avoid tables being "heads up" , the client should be able to remember your "last stack" at that Deep legend event.

Starting with another UOS bloging here. Will be an intresting time, yesterday went pretty deep, but ended up falling still. Also the Tuesday Bubble Burster was a weird format that I played all of. Which I ended up getting like 68 euros and I think I had like over 80 euros of buy-ins there, so 🤣 no goods. But well the volatile ones happen todays Wilds will be even more xD .

I ll add once more - IF it would be 10 BB situation I would sure fold, because then it would make the situation much diffrent. Our stack depth at 10 BB vs 3bet struggles to call off like that for many reasons. 1: We still have some fold equity with 10bb vs players. 2. We can find better RFI shoves than this call off multiway. But the problem is, its not 10 bb. And its 5 handed. Waiting for a "strong hand" with folding is a road into the short-busts with no meaningful places by blinding out. Every time we get to pay another ante, or blinds we lose part of valuable fold equity. And thats is also why GTOwizards range at 10 BB, is really not applicable to this situation.

I think its pretty similar to chipEV there with 5handed(blinds get distr, so fast into you again). Im gonna see what ICMizer thinks about in with cEV. I dont know what were your "GTOwizards assumptions, but these seem overly tight" I wasnt able to check it 4-ways, but in a 3way scenario it was calling off both in equilibrium and also mine adjusted varient.

I doubt we can fold at 5 handed. Maybe its notable at 9 handed.. . Better players would also recognize that the SB can 3bet wider here vs LP openers because he knows, that LP is already opening wider because of the short-stack(us) on the BB . BTN calling, gives a very good squeeze opportunity. If this would be SB 3beting vs EP, sure - we may be talking about folds(maybe...) ... also the squeeze size I dont like, its too small, and should be more like 10-11bb here - probably shoving is even better. Which would change a stuff in good player range <- it would basically stronger his range to very strong because he is essentially "wanting people to call if he is using such sizing there suddenly" . ... Of course people probably do not think in such level, which makes calling again much better because then their actually not so strong probably. .. So yeah..

With the possibility of nutflush(if multiway), at this stackdepth I wouldnt be thinking about "us getting dominated" . I'd be much more worried about folding a hand that is too strong to fold at such stack depth... so even tho we dont like that situation, we probably just should go with it in non-ITM anyday..

I wish you a good run, and for the most, an active learning from the process. 2 tables at once is certainly a good start. To archive your goals you really need to learn a lot. With small volume, you can have pretty long downers, but the overall focus should be longer-term and not on the bad run results. SNGs are very soft here so it shouldnt be overly complex. Im not gonna write a study guide here, but I do say that if reading old SNG literature while it would make players win in small games, in terms of theory their comically dated and the applied ranges that get to be used even with old time SNG-super-guys, are ridiculously off by what we know today. But then again, new information is always better than no information. Looking for the posts 😉

NIce off-topic sidetopic, in Turbos blog. But I ll add some to @anatarus. Its funny when people make chess comparements when they probably know nothing about it. Since I've played both. I can tell you, its all about studing madly. 80% luck is such an overstatement. If it would be 80% luck, even people with skill wouldnt be able to make profits from living out of it. Real life is diffrent, people live out of poker. But guess what? Their not shoving T5 because of a magical feeling. They study almost every day, and can make very good deductions from their knowledge. They imagine peoples ranges in their head and make the optional conclusions. Conclusions that make them money consistently long-term. Months, Years, Decades.. I think people who make excuses like written before here... just dont understand how bad they are, and 2nd does not properly study, and what they also do not understand is varience <- what it really is and how brutal it is. To have your brain even a little bit enlightned, find out some winning graphs, of good players and then look the downfalls and count how many tournaments at that winning graph, are their occasional downfalls -> you might be surprised. And if you cannot beat that curve, its ONLY BECAUSE YOUR GAME IS VERY VERY BAD. Its the honest and hard to except truth for you probably. But thats what it really is. However, I m not surprised, that its easy to think its rather all everyone else is wrong and you are right, but thats only because statistically its around 15% from the population who actually make money with poker, because all others are just too lazy or inconsistent to study enough to reach it. Ive seen many players who after being serious realize suddenly how far behind they are and some quit even because of that realization. It takes a lot of effort and most are not willing or capable to do it. That willingness has nothing to do with RNG runouts for few weeks that loose you a chunck of your bankroll, loosers go bust and winners get ahead despite of these runouts. GG. - Sorry Turbo for that heckling OT here. I hope you get to make some posts that make up the OT and makes it a blog again. xD.

I saw it few days ago, and literally had a laught lasting like 3minutes 😄

haha I had one few days ago, but I didnt knew that it was in the missions 😄

This is pretty sick, congradz man. Spins seem to work well for you, the management seemed overly optimistic, but it seems it has worked well for you. What has been he biggest fall so far? Very intresting, probably hyper HUs, also a very strong field for you. I managed to get a 125 hit at 5eur Hexa few days ago, but didnt win it. I hardly ever play it, but can be pretty fun in many aspects of the game.

Closing markets at Belarus etc. I think very wise decision during current situations in the world. In any sense, all the proffessionals can just move out and get abroad. And all the moneybangers who donate their salary into the market will be in a much better place without one option to do it. Since economy will lose a lot, its probably better to not gamble right now. Even tho , in reality the markets of gambling usually rather rise I guess, because of more desperate people and people are irrational mostly. Anyway, in terms of Merenitsu, it was cool to see your blog from time, and unless your gonna change anything in Poker education, its probably better for you to quit entirely. Have a nice run in life and set another goals 😉 GG man!

Pretty cooleriii , yeah dont worry about it, + when he has enough AK and AQ, it will never bee too bad, tho yes, will make varience bigger. If it would be played out - yeah... I mean we go broke any day there - so just "sucks to be you" there..

Merenitsu should start to sue Unibet, its clear that Unibet has favoring odds for you!🤪

You need to go to the MTT world and lose 4k in a month. (my record downer so far) xD

Small field MTTs lower the varience, Unibets playerpool isnt as strong as some other sites etc. I think you are convincing yourself in something where you are unable to face the fact that you are still losing. Its not Unibet, Its you. You need to work on yourself.

Your head plays a lot of tricks to you

I think an instance that doesnt come up much, is if you know someone is overpot jamming his lower-portion draws then. And if you have seen someone do it consistently, you can start to call some AK and specially Axs - but like... still not really. Its very specific and interms of population we should not make such calls where we get 34% MDF, where in real world people are maybe like bluffing less than 5% in these spots for real. So it just becomes suicide to make these calls.

Dont have time? Dude, that is so fundamental that you have know even just by intuition at least where you stand in such stuff. Pot-odds - if you dont have time, you ll never understand stuff.
