I'm using this blog post to share my thoughts on the video posted by andrewgreve

_____________________________________________________________


Table 3 - 00:22 Whole hand looked pretty horrible, although I'm not sure if you had a read because this guy is insane.

However, I will assume no history and that villain is a random.

98o Preflop is a bad call - could be ok if suited and he was playing 100bb.

You shouldn't raise flop or bet turn.

Call flop because you have decent equity against any hand (including sets) but by raising you (normally) fold out worse hands and keep in ones that beat you (not what actually happened I know but the theory is sound).

Turn - when he bet/calls the flop he should really have top pair minimum. Take a free card because by betting you turn your hand into a bluff as his turn check/calling range 'should' be ahead of your hand.

Table 3 2:04 - A7h you can open UTG.

Table 3 3:30 A5o is a bad defend, 3bet as a bluff or fold, you can't make any hand for value so take the initiative or fold. I do like the donk bet on that board though.

Table 3 5:40 - AQ played perfectly but make a note he made a blocker bet (1/3 pot) on the river with 2nd pair

Table 3 7:30 - 53o bet the flop when checked to, as played bet 0.15 on turn and raise just less then pot when the c/r the turn. Just BET MORE in general. You gave him a chance to get away if a 4 or 6 came on the river.

Table 3 9:00 I would open to 5x. Check raising makes no sense, why turn TT into a bluff? Normally I would cbet this dry board 1/2 pot for protection vs overcards or check/call to bluff catch.

Table 3 10:30 ATo is not really strong enough to call here although suited it may be.

Table 3 11:54 77 is a good fold vs. a nits 3bet

Table 3 13:15 bet the flop as before.

Table 2 13:54 I would open JTs here

Table 1 14:47 your note should say 'Limps 99, then shoves 100bb over a 3x raise and a call. Also make a note that the other player flatted AKo oop to you iso of a limper.

Table 3 17:12 This a good sb open vs. a nit and a good note

Table 1 18:22 Kx is an open from the sb imo

Table 2 21:14 just bet the flop he is check folding a lot here. Be prepared to bet 2 streets in case he gets stubborn with AK.

Table 2 22:26 you can open K8s from the effective UTG+1 with a nit in the bb

Table 1 23:57 make a note this guy 3bet jammed his whole 200bb stack!

Table 3 24:30 AT played perfectly - but your note is wrong. You should not re-raise 'when you have it' because you need to let him keep bluffing his air - re-raising folds out his bluffs, let him keep bluffing and call down with decent top pair type hands. Also note his river bet was half pot to fold out missed flush draws - his value bets may be a different size which we may see later.

Table 3 26:05n I would 3bet 86o as a bluff here. He has reg stats, our image is clean and it is really hard for him to continue without a premium hand.

Table 2 28:38 Great river overbet and exactly what I would do. After that I would just shove over his minraise; he never folds a Q here and he has way more bare Qs, flushes and str8s in his range than full houses. BTW I made sure I typed that before I saw what he had

So I have a session set up this evening for coaching. It will be free as Matt Probability will be assessing the coach at the same time.

I think I will play 4 tables on Stars @ 50NL while getting sweated.

I have never been coached before so it will be interesting to see if the coach can give me pointers.

I think my biggest leaks are tilt/spew. It will be interesting to see how it goes.

So I joined Titan on iPoker to get a free HEM licence.

I only deposited $500 so I have to play 20NL. This is Ok because I need to get used to the software and players.



So far the site seems softer than stars. It is very hard to 3bet bluff because you get cold called so much by short stacks. It is not unusual to have someone cold call AT OOP for 10bb with 10bb behind and then c/c any flop so you need to pick spots preflop.

However I have been making 6x iso-raises with big hands and getting called and I am successfully over-betting with monsters because ppl don't even look at bet sizings. I am also donking into regs a lot and getting enough folds.

Don't have HH but last night I ran into big sets and lost ridiculously small pots as they were played so passively.

Hand 1 - I call a raise from the bb with 4c4s and we both check a AcTc3d flop. The turn is 7c and I check raise his 1/3 pot bet as a pure bluff planning to barrel non club rivers. River bricks; I bet and he calls with top set AhAd.

Hand 2 - I raise utg with Qh9h and called by the BB. We both check a 9s7s4s flop and a 2s turn. He bets half pot on a 3h river, I make a crying call and he shows AhAd.

Hand 3 - I raise and call a 3bet in position against a super-agro maniac with AT. Flop is AQ4 and I check behind for pot control. Turn bricks he bets small I call. River bricks; he bets small I call and he shows QQ.

So my PockerTracker database crashed and I stopped playing 6-Max.

Last week I finally got round to fixing it and decided to try and play a decent amount before xmas.

Played 1k hands so far at 30BB/100 running like god obv.

Still, I'm playing well and only one tilt move where I spaz 3bet an A75 rainbow flop into an obvious set with KQ as a pure bluff - lol. Bizarrely only got it in pre-flop once with QQ, obviously no good, I may actually stop 3betting this hand against reg/nits.

Will try to get to 10k hands before Xmas and if I do will look to move up to 100NL, where the fun begins.

Still running hot live, looking at my last three months results I am beating the £1/£1 for 10 Big Bets per hour (better money than menial job!). I am up £4k straight since Xmas. Tax free this is decent £ on top of my job, which is good because I was given a pay cut last week

My internet connection has been ropey for a few weeks so not really played online but won a BI over 500 hands yesterday; although should have been more. I dropped $50 overplaying 88 on a low flop and then squeezed a tight player with AA after two callers and got it in on the 4c4d3c flop against a total fish who put $9 in pre flop with Jc2c and then his remaining $8.75 on the flop and turned a flush (and I even had the redraw). Also made a sick call with KQ on a 5d4d5h3h9c board which was good.

Still need to play more volume but I know I can beat NL50 now.

Lost a bit of motivation, dropped 4 BI in two sessions on the same day; mostly in two hands for 200BB all in on the turn at least 80% favourite.

Picked up just over a BI playing yesterday but not running great. Enrolled in a few donkaments on cake and lost flips early on in all cases.

Still running good in live poker - plenty of value there which is drawing me away from online.
