He uses lots of buzz words and some of his content is good, specifically the stuff with clanty. Just don't think any of his stuff is worth money since he is recycling and rebranding all of the free content that is already out there - apart from the clanty stuff.

Glad you're back I enjoyed reading the blog.

Dunno why you're wasting your time on carrot corner the only thing that guy is good at is sales techniques. (IMO) 😉

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. Get rekt

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. Can't wait to sunrun another €10 mtt

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!

Back on sunday

@JamesPearl I shouldn't have won that man UL. I think I got it in bad 4 times in a row and won everytime vs you and the other guys.

GL in the next

Go on lad

^^That seems correct^^

I find it hard to keep track of my progress too so I just got off of Net deposits. It's not as good for a blog since ppl love graphs but atleast it's accurate.

I tried playing the community tournaments a few times but lost motivation for it, it is way too sweaty for a community thing. Everyone tryharding and nitting it up, no gambling. No fun allowed. I just wanna go all in and emote spam but at the same time, I don't want to give my money away to nits.

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.

Too many brag posts in a row, doomswitch activated.

Twilight zone shit. obviously the backroom shrouded figure hit the doomswitch.

IF (SAM=ALLIN)

FUCK HIM UP

There's no other explanation. You atleast get to win 1 pot when you're running bad.

Rant over. 69% sarcasm

Cashed out and will spin up my bonus points.

2/2 xD

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

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.

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

Just thought I'd grab my pitchfork and join in, do proven cheaters have their details passed on to other poker sites? Is it legal to do so?

Once a cheat always a cheat.
 

@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.

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.

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.

Shipped  2 €10 small field tournaments for +€300

Stuck to all my goals so far. Back to just coffee and tea 😂

Accuracy going back up on the test drills too. I'm still not at my best but getting there.

I know it isn't an open, it isn't a flop 3b either. But: got dem reads brah

@EstzenHaven't used MDA for over a year so my info could be wrong now, but it's still working for me. The guy who I used showed that you could 3bet from BB ATC vs BU and it would do better long term than folding pre up to 400nl. (On untracked sites)

Mainly because of the lack of 4b bluffs. Doesn't mean you need to triple it off. You're making a vacuum play that  loses less money than folding vs population.

Data was mined from GG tables.

Nice to see some strat discussion. I just said to 3b those hands as an experiment, similar to open folding AA. @Estzen I bet I could show a profit 3betting K6o pure at 100bbs vs CO over a large sample at micros, but I know it isn't standard. You know what else isn't standard? Peoples 4b bluff % CO vs BU

I watched a couple of your youtube videos and joined your stream a couple times and I feel like your mental was pretty strong, you seemed stoic.

You don't 3b enough (Bluff and value) or x/r flops enough, especially vs late position.

All of that + showing down your hand too much means anyone trying to be a thinking player will gain insight into your game fast and overfold to you.

I know this is 4NL and those players are few and far between but they do exist.

Tommy Angelo has advocated open folding AA as a mental experiment just to see if you can disconnect yourself from the game entirely. I've read some of his stuff a long time ago and have done it.

How about instead of open folding AA you 3b the button with A5o, K6o + the hands you're supposed to 3b with.

Rake is very high at micros. Winning preflop means no rake.

One last thing, experiment with some bigger bet sizes, like really big bet sizes for the flop and river. Especially bvb.

Wishing you the best.

If you're gonna be playing live and have a target of learning something the highest EV is 6 card PLO. The festival 6 card games are a goldmine

Rake will affect open raise sizing + frequency + it also lets you spot the fish faster since you know all the ranges. I don't stick to ranges either but def think having the correct baseline is important otherwise u could be viewing people as fish when they're actually making a correct play. Knowing if someone is a reg or a punter based off of 1 showdown might help u next time ur in a 4bet pot with JJ xD

I'd make sure those ranges are configured to a similar rake structure as unibet since they could be way off.
