The DOHHHHHHH Diary

DOHHHHHHH

Round up of Friday session.......

Was abit of a weird 1....

After the live update of the BH, which I won, It felt like it was like midnight. Felt sozzled!

DOHHHHHHH	156000	1	£59.45 + £41.68 Head Prizes	9
jessop05	0	2	£38.95 + £6.27 Head Prizes	2
DarkNeo1	0	3	£24.09 + £9.06 Head Prizes	4

Played a few hypers and turbo mtts elsewhere and did alright, no deep runs but the hypers paid for the buy ins.

Then returned to Sky and played a £6 sat into the new £55 BH.

For once, I fully intended to play it if I made it in. 

It was a '2 seat gtd' job, but it ended up paying 3 seats and money for 4th! which is awesome, you can always rely on the BH format to bring in the numbers, even if it is a turbo )))

I was going well, I'd just coolered Hoggers to take the chip lead with like 14 remaining, I was pretty much home and dry barring any sickness/blowups, so I was well chuffed. 

Then I heard a bang downstairs, and someone screaming. 

Sh!t myself, went to see wtf was up. 

My mother had slipped on the botoom step on the stairs, and gone over on her ankle, which was now pointing inwards at like a 45 degree angle. Oucchhhhhh it looked bug/gered. (it is)

So I'm sat with her waiting for an ambulance/paramedics, whilst my **** stack is blinding off upstairs. iwufhvuhwefuivhuwiefhvuwefh. 

Bout 10 mins later they had it all under control, I got back to like 4xbb 5th of 5 left with 3 seats and money for 4th. 

Snap jammed and got a double up, then 2 stacks collided, and I fist pumped @ being gtd £22 at least. That was a result!

Then remembered to reg up the £55 event so I could take the money if I somehow managed to win a seat, which I did, about 3 hands later ) wiiiiii.

HUGGY	40050	1	£2,000 Speed B/H
kimpet	34040	2	£2,000 Speed B/H
DOHHHHHHH	27910	3	£2,000 Speed B/H
oceans0007	0	4	£22
OxfordBlue	0	5

Was back downstairs with the invalid within 90 seconds. 

Gonna pen another strategy guide on sattellites.

"get a stack. go attend to a broken bone. come back 10 mins later, shove, shove, bink. ez game" 

Obv couldn't play the £55 after that, I will definitely aim to play that most nights though. It's gonna be tough playing it when I know I can take the money, but I have to be brave 1 time, as I'm very confident in that format! 

Got a small score in the £11 version of the turbo BH tho.

In Response to Re: "Sit & DOHHHHHHH Diary":

In Response to  Re: "Sit & DOHHHHHHH Diary" : Slow to reply here, apologies Rancid, been a weird few days. Bolded bit.... No secret to anyone whos been playing on sky regular, or readers here, that I've never really consistantly beat a level above 30nl.  As I said in my previous post I was once very optimistic about playing poker for alot more than recreation. About 2 years ago, I was in a good position, properly hammering the 30nl level and winning money almost at will.  Sky was alot softer back then. (yes, even softer than it is now). There were like 2/3 good regs back then, in fact I can name them, ozzie08, scotty77(look at him now), corbett04, and Fins was pretty solid also.  Then there were good players who would occasionally drop down from 50/40nl, like tommyd. And players who very occasionally played (when I was on), like Dylan12 & ricorambo. But that's like a handful of players, everyone else was truly awful. It was 'fill your boots time' almost literally, a time to cash in and just build build build your bankroll as much as you liked really.  That's the line I decided to take, I was already playing 100 buy ins +  when I started 30nl, and towards the end of the 'golden spell' I was playing with maybe 400-500 buy ins (after taking chunks from it at least once/twice per month).  I remember I once won 3k in a month playing mainly 30nl with bits and bobs of late night 40/50nl thrown in. Older forum members might remember me bragging about this in every other post when I was 'the forum idiot'. Again, abit like idcu is/does now But, I missed a trick. Even back then I was only averaging 5k points per month. I was still only ever playing every other day, and still only when I was drunk. I was playing alot more though, cash sessions often lasted from 9pm to 7/8am.  I'm not sure how soft the tables on sky are at 3/4am nowardays, as I pass out after 14 beers, but back then, it was amazing. Like freeplay tables at times.  Anyway, back to the question, my plan was always long term with poker. Whilst the going was so good @ 30nl I just wanted to build my bankroll as much as I could, so I had the best possible launching pad for when I moved up. I don't neccesserily regret that, but I do regret not playing more. I got in to the routine of only playing when I was drinking, this probably cost me thousands. Obviously it's a really bad habit, on so many levels. lolol.  The 2nd mistake was staying at 30nl too long. I spent ages crushing it, building this 'cushion' that I wanted before moving up. But I wasn't improving, I was just playing poor players and not challenging myself. I failed to recognise the right time to properly move up and take on 50nl. All the good books/videos now reccommend an aggressive BRM strategy and advocate shot taking whenever possible, using 'stop losses' etc.  It's not like I never played 50nl, pretty much crushed it, and occasionally 100nl whenever I had shots. But again this was through the night when the 50nl standard was even worse than the 30nl daytime standard. So again I wasn't challenging myself, and therefore wasn't improving.  Sooo... "  At what point did you just stop wanting to move up the level and settle for your cash level." After about 9/10 months of grinding and beating 30nl I settled for 30nl as 'my cash level'. Another 6/7 months after that I gave up cash altogether and started playing HU sngs. Inevitably, got bored of that when I got to £21 buy in games (which I beat comfortably with around a 4% ROI). At least I took some shots @ £30/40/50 in this format (albeit drunken/tilty ones) and got totally crushed, alas, 9 months after starting, that was the end of that. Have a real problem 'taking it to the next level'   It's really hard! :P ---------------------- I reckon if you asked 100 people of my age who have been playing poker 5/6 years, what their biggest poker regret is, alot will say "not playing more when I was younger". ha.  Those were good times @ the tables! If I'd have done the right things back then, who knows where I'd be now! Maybe still at 30nl, I dunno! lol.  ----------------------- You have it alot tougher now. Grinding up through the levels is still doable ofc, but it's a much slower process. People play so much tighter and more risk averse. I've played/watched some 10nl and it's soooooooo boring. 20nl isn't much better, and then @ 30nl there's at least 8/9 tough regs. And even alot of the fish aren't like massive fish like back in't day.  I don't even know what 40/50nl is like, but I bet it aint much fun either! It's a long slow process, I know you're not scared of volume after the cash promo thing, so if you have the time I'm sure you'll get to, and compete at 30nl pretty soon. After that, who knows.  30nl isn't far off $50nl though! It's not the worst level to get stuck at tbf Try and have some shots @ 30nl asap imo! GL!

Thanks for reply, interesting road you been on.

As you probably know I only play recreational so I decided before xmas to withdraw a massive chunk of my br, which brought me down to £500. Mainly for personal reasons to have a cracking Christmas plus I treated myself with a couple of goodies for all the hard work I had put in to my game during 2012.

 

So now I am just going to chunter on and withdraw each month whatever I make over £500. So that’s me back to grinding mainly nl10/nl20 for a bit. Really not bothered about moving up at the moment, a couple of leaks I need to plug plus motivation just ain't there at the moment.

Must of been nice to be playing on here two years ago )

Good luck at the tables

Cheers Shuvvaments. Haven't had a bet today so aint posted on your thread. Will be following as ever, mainly the snooker this week though. 

Would update this every day if I played every day. 

Some people prob take 1 look at the longer posts and think f that I cba reading an essay! ha. 

Swongs n roundaboooootz! 

Always happy to try new stuff on here if anyone has any ideas, HH's, breakdowns, reviews of other peoples hands (im sure others will help out, #AskPercival) whatever, let me know! 

-----------

Been out the shower 5 minutes, and just bust the first comp of the day already.

Late reg the hot $4 on stars, have 3k @ 40/80, 3x iso an utg limper with AJdd. He calls, and check raises all in on A83 with 2 clubs.

Snap call for me.

72 of clubs gets there.

lol.

-------------

Dunno if I'm gonna live update the bounty hunters again today. I could do I guess but not really had any feedback on the last one, which went as well as it possibly could from my point of view.

Might just jot some HHs down and do 1 write up post at the end.

Will def be playing them both anyway. 

lets goooooooo ))

Hi Dohhhhhhh

Just a q about justifiation of the T7 o hand playing three handed. He has CSI= 4 1/2 so if T7o isn't even in the range of hands which is accepted to unexploitably call a 4.5 csi shove. You say he is playing his short stack well so he knows you will shove wider anyway. Aren't you just levelling yourself by shoving instead of a least having a hand that can call this stack size. From the charts i have its about 50% or better. T7o is thought to be about 65 or worse. Just wondering how you go about making those decisions in such delicate/important positions. It's obv in your favour from the success you have but for me , i'd have folded faster than Usain Bolt!!.

Hey prof. 

Here comes my attempted justification at what is probably a bad shove.

The facts

He has 10.8k (7xbb?) behind after putting 1.6k in blind.

It's gonna cost me 11.6k more to put him all in.

I have trash trash offsuit. 

-----------

He has been playing well short stacked. The pay jump between 3rd and 2nd is pretty significant. He knows himself that he can't really shove too light in this scenario, because due to it being a BH he's gonna get looked up lighter than ususal. So he's been really patient so far. 

The third player at the table has already doubled him up by calling his shove with T6o. 

I've stoved what I think he will probably call with.

I think his calling range will prob be on the tight side, he seems the type to value his tournament life, and with the odds well stacked against him in terms of winning, he's probably hoping that the 2 big stacks collide and he can 'icm' his way in to 2nd place........

I've stoved a percieved range for him, and looked at how it plays against T7o.

equity  win  tie        pots won  pots tied

Hand 0:  34.798%   34.30%  00.49%      2607916896   37615752.00   { T7o }

Hand 1:  65.202%   64.71%  00.49%      4919481360   37615752.00   { 22+, A2s+, K7s+, Q9s+, JTs, A2o+, K8o+, QTo+ }

I've given him roughly the top 30% of hands. 

I think my shove gets thorugh a fair amount of the time, and if I'm called, I have a pretty solid 35%ish of equity. 

I can't work out if it's a profitable shove?

If he calls top 35% of his range, does that mean he folds 65% of the time?

If so, I'm picking up 2.4k uncontested most of the time, and have 35% equity the times I'm called?

Maybe someone can work out the ev of my shove, but using those vague assumptions, I'm pretty sure that if it's not profitable, it isn't far off.

And I haven't mentioned the bounty equity yet..............

Which could edge it in my favour?

And I guess it's only a small %age of my stack too, I'm still in great shape even if I lose. This is a more old-school thing to say, putting all the maths and the equity, and the ev to the side, and saying "well the risk/reward is in my favour" etc. 

Not my favoured method of decision making, but even if I call and lose it doesn't do too much damage to my stack/situation in the tournament. 

-----------

Conclusions

Is my hand strong enough to shove? - Probably not quite strong enough.

Am I going to get alot of folds? yes.

Am I going to get enough folds? probably not.

Is he going to call wide enough? Probably just. 

Have I just asked the same question 3 times but worded it differently? yes.

Am I going to show a profit shoving here long term? Probably slightly negative ev.

Is it a big mistake? Definitely not.

Did he find a good enough hand to call, and go on to hold? obv

DOHHHHHHH

lol @ my attempt to do some poker maths above! sigh.

On to Mondays results.

Not gonna post loads, was a totally frustrating day.

I didn't live update the BH, I've gathered from the lack of feedback that it probably doesn't appeal too much to readers. Too many hand histories can be off putting. 

The £11 BH on Mon was the worst yet though, so ridiculous how bad I ran.

(left out HHs and went with a run bad moan instead)

3 different times I built my stack up to average in the late stages (blinds beyond 200/400)

3 times I got knocked back down. AJ < A9. 66 < AK. and finally KK < 99 for a top 5 stack with 15 left.

so another £17.75 donated to the daytime BH regs.

I went on to play some 30nl, dropped 2 buy ins within 10 mins, then started playing and running pretty well. 

2 hours later I'd got the £60 back and was another £100 up on top.

Started getting tired and abit tilted and should have quit. 

KK < AA bb v button tilted me abit, coz the reg who coolered me is so dumb and I hate giving money to dumb regs. That's the only way they can beat me coolering me like that. ffs. 

Went on to tilt off £150 in 15 minutes. (who's the dumb reg now?)

 All the stacks I'd built up disappeared in no time, and I logged off -£55 for the day.

Felt like -£500.

GaryQQQ

Re the T7o hand. Your push is effectively 11653 chips (what it costs him to call + half the BB). Based on the range you've assigned him this is the maths;

70% of the time he folds, you win the blinds, 2400 chips
70% x +2400 = +1680

10.5% (35% x 30%) of the time he calls and you win a 24907 pot for +13254 profit
10.5% x +13254 = +1392

19.5% (65% x 30%) of the time he calls and you lose your 11653 shove
19.5% x -11653 = -2272

+1680
+1392
-2272
---------
+800

So on averge your push shows a profit of 800 chips. It's +cev, whether or not it's +£ev is another matter.

I hope this helps (took 5 mins).

rancid

just fold, took me 2 secs )

bad session Dohhhhhhh

maths is great but think it would depend how oppo been playing, if they been just whittling down - fold,fold,fold then a shove is always going to be +cev -

Also does this shove depend on you stack size, how more likely are you to shove with a bigger stack

profman15

Cheers Dohhhhhhh

Cracking post to my post. I really appreciate it. Cheers to GaryQQQ and Rancid. I can do the calculations now, for my sins, but my poker is so "jeez he must have it" that it's interfering with my game constantly and putting me off at the mo. I couldn't even tell that Rancid had a set of threes to my pocket aces in our Fa cup match! :-)( #FILWA syndrome).
I need some of that "fearless chip butty" that you lot tuck into onto a regular basis. Cheers guys, its good to see what i thought was correct not be. I'm used to it nw........

GaryQQQ

Regarding my post above, I don't know why I didn't think to check at the time, but I have now;

Effective stacks before posting the blinds are 8.28 big blinds (13253/1600 = 8.28BB)

Nash Equilibrium charts say that T7o is a push at 9.0BB effective stacks or less. So our maths confirm that Nash is correct in this instance. When effective stacks are <10BB in a HU pot you can safely push from the SB according to Nash (though against most villains I'd call a bit tighter than Nash on the BB). Arguably the only exception is min-raising your premium pairs, which might work out to be slightly more profitable than open shoving.

DOHHHHHHH

Appreciate the posts Gary. Hopefully profman sees them too, as a maths bod I'm sure he'll be interested to see the calculations.

The 2nd post re. Nash is my preferred method, let some guy do all the working out for me and use his chart

I didn't think I was far off, and it was either a small winning or small losing shove either way.

The bounty equity could swing it in my favour even if it was a losing shove, so very happy getting it in here, esp as his calling range was probably tighter than optimal in this situation.

-----------------

To save spamming the thread with loads of posts, I'll add Thursdays update here. 

I only played 2 games on Sky all day. 

The £5.50 velo freezeout @ 10pmish. 

I Final tabled, went in 2/6, with £77 ftw, but finished 6th, just 1 place inside the money, for £17. 

Then I played 1 £10.50 HU sng and won it, so up about 20 quid for the day. 

Would have played cash but after taking a look @ 30nl and seeing AJ rockets, super nova, bolly, Kkrippler, acegooner on every single table I would have been the fish in the games and ended up losing money.

Good mental game decision to just say whatever, and leave it alone. 

Go away cash promos! grrrr.

Cheers Hawk. 

The TCOOP promised much, but like alot of my poker recently went t!ts up quickly.

I was once in 16th (albeit out of like 5,000 left). Got the early double and was up to about 20k at the first break.

Then found a tough(?) spot, where I was playing about 35k, 2 limpers in e.p and the small blind makes it 6k! @ 200/400. He had around 27k.

I've got AK in the big blind.

Ughhhh? wtf to do.

I put it in, and ofc he had AA. 

Had abit left but couldn't do much with it.

Can't seem to get owt going at the moment, it's not really run bad in terms of being outdrawn or whatever, just getting in tough spots/cooler situations quite often. 

nvm, never expected much and it was a freeroll.

Maybe I'll win summat this week! plzzzzzzzzzz

DOHHHHHHH

Saturday

Rubbish again! 

Played away from sky all afternoon, couldn't get anything going, 1 min cash out of 7/8 mtts. 1 pure bubble in a 4,000 runner field too ha.

Moved to sky in the evening.

At 8.30 I entered a £6, 1 in 10 sat to the £55 BH, which I assumed, was the speed bounty hunter @ 10.30.

Half way through, when I had a stack going, I realised it was for the normal bounty hunter that starts in 5 mins! sh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!t!

If I qualified I would have to play it! sigh.

Ofc, I did qualify, which meant I was forced to play a tournament that would finish at about 2am, making this potentially a 14 hour session.

Even if I ran well and went deep, the biggest challenge would be staying awake!

Anyway, I needn't have worried.

My starting table was the same 5 players that had just qualified via the sat! vvvvv soft. I dunno if this is right, but it was certainly a big advantage to me. Gtd 4 satellite qualifiers is nice, and obviously preferable to people who have bought in direct.

But they were pretty terrible players too, other than 1 recogniseable site veteran, bazbazbaz, who plays pretty solid, the rest were ded spewy and loose and perfect to play against.

Was totally card dead though, couldn't find any spots to capitalise on a perfect loose table.

Ofc v these types of players, if you aint getting the hands, there's not much you can do other than be patient.

Which I did quite well tbf. I raised/folded, cbet/folded, resisted the urge to barrell turns, just sat there quietly whilst they spewed stacks back and forth, praying that the table wouldn't break!

It did break, but not for a good hour and half, and the next table I got was full of unknowns. Which isn't great, but it's better than the alternative, being sat with all the sites sharks who regularly play in, cash in, and win these kind of events!

Almost 2 hours later, I found the spot I'd been waiting for.

And that was that.

Good Game.

Not.

Torture!!!! lol.

35xbb @ 100/200 is quite healthy, well below avg but I could have worked with that, getting to the stage of the game where pre flop aggression and stabbing at pots otf becomes more rewarding with sizeable blinds.

Hate slow tournaments.

Played the £5 velo and £11 blizzard BH's. Didn't win a hand in either.

Bout £25 down for the day here.

Poker morale not far off an all time low.

Nothing good happened for ages, spose I won the BH last week, but the standard in that is very very bad, can't take much pleasure in winning something as soft as that.

Would like something good to happen soon please, poker Godz.

tia!

Get some stick for my notes.

Just found this one.

"limps at unapropriate times - mtt(bb's)"

Just googled it to see if it's even a real word and got this from the Urban Dictionary.

1.	unappropriate
	The act of someone trying to say or write the word inappropriate but failing miserably and writes this word
