Been golfing this morning so not had time to look at forum Thought i’d recap
Played amazing on Friday at golf Not so great today but ok until 4 holes left. Was looking good to get cut again. Was 3 over at this stage Dropped 6 shots in the last 4 holes Wp me
Golf is shite
Think Derby are playing right now. Don’t care, not watching. Derby are shite
Teeth surviving
Poker was pretty shite last night Played some cash when Dyms we’re going badly. Cash went badly too
Played the midnight express which i never do and ran ok for 6th place
Only lost £60 in the end so shite but could have been shiter
Enjoying new car. May keep it for a while
I think that covers everything It’s almost like we’ve been here before
I think i played 6 mtts last night which is normally about a months worth for me.
Tried to sat into the major but fell just short
11bh i flopped a straight in a limped pot in the bb with 85 on 4 6 7 rainbow 🌈. Guy went all in on the flop. Gg me
Mini my 13bb shive got snapped by J 9. Gg me
£3 rebuy i never really got started. Had a particularly pleasant hand where a guy shoved and the lovely Arrogant raised. I then shoved KK and as expected Mr Arrogant tanked the call with Aces. A gorgeous K K x flop and i felt it was mature and acceptable to write the childish “lololololol” in the chatbox
£22mega i ran very well and came 5th with a few heads
£33bh i ran very well and came 7th. Exit was a bit shoddy. Shoved 10bbs with AJ and 55 made the call. Flopped the A and 5 on the river for GG. They just feel slightly less painful when you miss the board totally
Had a couple of hands which were probably spew and awful. Flame away please.

He’s a good player and so can have nothing. I feel i may have more 4s in my range and all the best Aces. However with just minning pre i guess he can have plenty of suited/connecting four. Suits aren’t relevant in the hand

This one i kind of merge a bit at the end i think. I can get called by worse. Again no flush possible. I think i prefer check/call on the river but i was kind of panicking about him putting me in if i checked which i know is backwards thinking
Feedback would be appreciated. One other thing. Are we raising bigger sb as standard in JJ hand?
With the JJ hand I think you can do a variety of things in the SB preflop.
If you had <20BB you could limp/jam preflop if you think villain will try to defend and you likely get called by loads of small pairs, Ax, and even QK etc if villain is really spewy.
In the above scenario you could miniraise to try and induce the same scenario.
However, you have 30+ BB so a play like the above - while still +EV - will more often than with 20bb stack, end up with you AIPF versus a tighter range including a lot of hands you are flipping with or even bigger pairs.
Therefore - with your stack - while I wouldn't be against trying to engineer an AIPF, I would be content to play a post flop pot.
The above might not all be relevant but would be my thought process going into the hand and would affect the line I took preflop.
Don't see anything wrong with your line preflop or the flop.
It is very likely the villain is floating on that board and looking to play back at you on later streets. With that in mind I would let him do just that and check/call the turn at least and very often check/call the river.
Sure he might have the ace but a lot of big aces might have 3 bet preflop so I am less likely to think he has AK AQ AJ (you have blockers) so I think a lot of the hands he reps on turn and river are air.
Right, I will stop waffling but basically IMO preflop and flop I would often do the same but I think I check/call turn and probably river.
I think i played 6 mtts last night which is normally about a months worth for me.

I did wonder what you were clicking it back with on the turn; your line had me scratching my head and I was tempted to rip it with my 6 high .
I think, generally speaking, you want to be opening at least 2.5x pre bvb given that you're ~40bbs deep - can also mix some limps in too a % of the time.
Betting flop seems fine, however I would also be checking a decent % of the time.
Betting turn is questionable IMO; at this point in the hand you are either miles ahead (vs worse pocket pairs/2x) or miles behind (4x/Ax) so you don't need much protection at all. Also, you open yourself up to bluff raises (like mine!), which put you in an awkward spot and complicate your decision making.
I agree with your analysis that you have all of the best Ax, however I'm pretty sure I have a nut range advantage as my defending range has more 4x than your min open range and I also have some combos of 35s that you don't have. That's why I was tempted to rip over the top as your line didn't make much sense; would you really click it back with your premium hands (AA/4x)? Surely you'd want me to continue my bluff on the river as that's the only way you get paid and, at this point, I am extremely polarised (I have either air or a nutted hand)?

Thanks for posting Viking
Yeah, I posted the two hands above as I was uncomfortable with how I played them at the time. I’ve had some really great feedback on them from probably the best player on Sky and some other very good players too
I agree on the open sizing. Also limping is probably ok. I think now that checking flop is pretty good with then betting the turn. As played when I bet turn I felt that it gave a good player the perfect opportunity to raise. On reflection calling rather than reraising seems preferable
Well after a not totally toss Sunday night, Monday and Tuesday were very tossy. Lost a bit and ran toss. On the whole though i’m playing a little better. I’ve made a few quid in the last couple of months but i feel i’ve played very poorly (or even more poorly than normal) .... We’re close to getting our houses on the market Perfect cottage in the sticks has just gone up for sale. They only doing online viewing so it might be a while before they sell
Hold!!! .... A week away with Melissa and the boy in 10 days time. In the hugely popular holiday destination of Berwick. Love Northumberland. Wish i could take my sticks but i’m not sure it would go down too well
A week's holiday in Berwick, I'm distinctly jealous. Enjoy.
Gill came down over the weekend, out first time together since lockdown started, so I treated her on Saturday with a trip to Bournemouth Airport to see some of the stored BA fleet, & then on to Boscombe, to take a look at the cruise liners all moored in Weymouth Bay. Yes, it's a bit of an extravagance, but I wanted to give her a really exciting day.

You defo need to take your clubs Paul @Jac35 , even if it's just half-a-set.
GOSWICK G.C. just outside Berwick is a GREAT Links course.......it's a proper test.The main London-Edinburgh trainline runs right alongside the course too.
Haven't you started Harry playing yet? .......always a good excuse to squeeze a few holes in

Harry has a junior set. He prefers the sand pit at the moment though

I got sent a Pebble Beach Flag to mark the achievement, which I have framed with all the photo's of the occasion, and had a round of drinks for everyone in the Bar, thankfully bought for me by the Pebble Beach Company, ....... 'coz it was very, very busy
