taking on NL4 (and beyond) diary

The_Don90 · September 2011

Thursdays 29th Sept

Returned for a session yesterday. Played the NL4 HU table instead of actual NL4 this was mostly because i thought it would be easier to get me back into the game. However i fet completely destroyed after about 10 mins. Which doesnt help when the HU lasts for 1hr 30 mins - 2hrs. It was one of those games where everytime i felt i took control the other guy just hit something bigger than i did in he same hand meaning i couldnt gain any momentum.

Closing BR: £94.23

Dudeskin8 · September 2011

1. Not sure about 3bet/c over 5x raise UTG with JJ pre, at NL10 I'd be more inclined to just call IP but as it's NL4 maybe it's right, still unlucky though.

2. AQ fine.

3. 88, you found a live one there lol.

4. 88 nice again.

5. Sick not to get the final 74p but oh well lol.

On HU I personally wouldn't advise this as I believe it's more easy to multitable 6 max games where the blinds aren't constantly on you and also means you can stick to a tight range which is suicide against 1 villain, oh and the rake would be crazy too.

Friday 30th Sept

Afternoon sesh

Ty for reply dude. Yeah the Jacks i find a wierd hand at NL4 tbh. That and AQ.

Anyways making a rush for C4P today which isnt easy. Ive divided that i should be able to do it in another 4 hours of play (est) Although getting them in might prove to be hard. However id rather stay profitable than make a stupid charge for a fiver.

Anyways this session went well. Was getting back into the game and really felt back into my zone. although that may have been run good lol.

This hand easy fold on river, dont know why i called

Yeah 99 I might cbet less as I found half-pot usually got the job done and river gotta be fold but you know that.

AA v A9s you're 87.78% fave pre, imagined it would be more than that lol

Good work overall though and back over £100, KIU !

Ty but it's ok, if you're already sorted I can wait for my friends to buy it next week

grantorino · October 2011

99 hand I would consider folding sometimes, but I call readless

QQ hand check back flop and turn

AQ I would think is a clear fold oop readless to a 3bet at 4NL. I think folding flop is prob best when he pots it, but I dont think I actually would. Your fe is close to 0 when you shove though

EDIT: Im tired dont fold flop in AQ hand

The_Don90 · October 2011

looking back at last nights session and i will pick out some talking hands. Remember not all of these are v NL4 players please when commenting.

First up AQs here. i was thinking about 3 betting myself here, but being oop i couldnt make my mind up. When the short stack shoved i decided now that i have posision if theres a call i fold, if they all fold i call.

Flopping quads here. Was never sure on how to play. As you can see both the blinds are NL4 players however theres two pretty good non-NL4 players here. Tbh my seat selection was good here, i had both the NL4 players with posision and although being oop with the Non-NL4 players i felt i wasnt going to get involved with them too much. Also the hand in question. Raising pre? And post flop is that ok?

That table did get a little trickier. So here comes a hand. Solack was playing very different to how ive played him before. Upon flopping the nuts here once he 3-bet i decided to let him be the aggressor simply because he had been aggresive loads before.

1 fine
2 fine
3 raise flop
4 i prob fold pre, c/r flop, as played I just get it in on flop that raise is rarely a bluff on that board
5 bet less on flop, so if shorty shoves you can 3bet

Afternoon session

Done a few primo sats this morning. Really not sure how to explain them, but they didnt go well. Id restricted myself to 2 attempts as a treat for myself. Anyways after that back on the grind. So NL4 loaded.

It didnt go aswell as id hoped but as i got into the grinding shoes i really started to feel comofortable.

3 hands over £1 so ill just post em all. Dont think theres many talking points.

I think there must have been a lot of small pots in my favour tbh. As you can see from the above there wasnt many big ones.

Tea time teaser

This has got to be one of the worst sessions ive had since starting my diary. I played bad, and well didnt exactly run great either.

Hand 1. Sizing here is terrible.

Posted by rancid

... im angry at myself for last session. My sizing on hands was way off the mark. In others i overplayed them. And in others i just plain got lucky. Tbh i deserve a whipping for that.
