craigcu12 · October 2013

today saw what looked quite a decent day turn awful. the reason as to why things turn bad was a villain in the super sat for the main event thought it would be a good idea to donk bet getting me to fold and caused the villain who was short stack to gain a place into the main when what should have happened was he should have went out early and i ended up 15th in it. if that wasn't bad enough i also saw the same silliness in a DYM when a short stack managed to survive thanks to a sill donk bet that got made and that short stack villain actually had 4 who ganged up on him so stood little chance of winning had the donkey been capable of just checking and they to finish it all off i got into a very difficult spot with A8s because yet again the board had limpers so when i decided to check the flop comes A23 so i do a bet the limpers fold but what happens the SB reraised and showed a set.

i knew then that i needed a break so took one and what i hope is by posting that hand into the clinic it will make the decision get easier rather than being results orientated.

i did feel much calmer after that post and returned to cash where things were good the cash tables today were winnings totals of £1.46 £0.68 £1.81 £2.51 £2.02 £1.68 £1.28 and £0.99 the only losses were -£1.28 and -£2.30

the MTT they were -£10.38 and SnG -£16.50
my overall loss was -£18.38 but weather i could have had profit of atleast £5.05 if that villain didn't donk bet i won't know.

i did put £30 in because i was going to bet on England but didn't i didn't know they played today so missed it

BR £42.35

Craig...hand 1 we always get our money in here. Always. Not getting our money in would be bad.

Hand 2. Well I wouldn't be limping in like the rest, but if we are going to play it that way then there is no real reason to raise the flop, it's difficult to represent anything other than a draw when we do this. We have position too so can potentially steal on the turn/hit our hand and bet for value. As played we've just bloated a limped pot with a K high draw vs 2 villains, no real need for it.

hh

the only way really that i would not be able to put him on a set but is if he were to do this with his over pairs as well and it was because i had no notes saying how he played over pairs that i decided to call that hand.

I might try some cheap deep stacks but that is only because I do seem to manage ok in SNG

craigcu12 · October 2013

today has been a good day of poker not only with cash but also SnG overall I won £3.50 from SnG -£1.18 from MTT timed and with cash tables won £1.12 £9.74 £0.05 £0.52 and -£0.40 did have a go on the master cash as today they seemed to not have as many big stacks

if I am going to call the jam post flop really I am thinking if i should have just jammed it in right away or would that have scared the other villians away more easily

i think i might have got this flop and turn bet the wrong way what i am thinking is i should have just did a large bet on the flop because if it is a flush straight or KQ he holds then i might as well try my biggest bet when their is still the chance he puts me on QQ.

finally i am thinking this hand could have been wasting value what i was doing is on the flop and turn i was trying to represent AK or KQ i did wonder if he might have the 33 on the flop but once the second 3 came on the turni ruled out 33 or atleast considered it very unlikely so when he reraised i struggled to put him on any hand so having hit my straight on the river i decided to try and make it look like a bluff being that i missed the draw but as it turned our he actually was holding that nut flush draw and having thought about it because of a raise preflop and on the flop then a bet call on the turn it when i then jammed it on the river i think it helped him fold his Axs as my jam could be all kinds from AK KK 1010 AcQc AcJc or even A10s

the thing I have starting to thing is happening now is all that nonsence over big stack wins and rigged in BBV has caused loads of villians to start acting stupid

craigcu12 · October 2013

after a bad SnG day on Wednesday, I decided to go back onto cash today and i had 5 losses and 2 wins normally that would result in a loss but today i still got a profit of £2.86 as the loosing tables were not bad apart from 1 Nl4 which got £6.14 lost and while them tables seemed to suffer i had on table which had big focus, an action table and i finish with a profit of £10.23 from that one.
the tables were losses £0.40 £1.35 £0.96 £0.36 and £6.14 (1ACT 1 NL8 and 3NL4) the two wins were £10.23 and £1.99 (1NL4 1ACT) and so my BR is £55.57

their was a few hands i was disappoint with my play today

i should not have even called the turn because if i put him on a set then i was dead so i should be calling this river any day as the A is what i should have him on

craigcu12 · October 2013

after a rough spell with poker maybe now things will be getting back on track. I didn't have much luck with the primo after satteliting in for £2.60, the mini primo and the £100 deep stack were not very good either but having decided to multi table on 4 cheap MTT's at once I just remained calm and managed to get onto the final table of a £400 BH where things went well right from the start, on the final table itself i finished 5th with a prize of £20.46+£11.01 from 9 heads.
This is the second day in a row that I have got onto the final table of a MTT yesterday it happened on the £230 Bh my overall profit from MTT was £19.11 and I have started to find it is more calm when I have a few MTT's going together rather than mixing cash and MTT.

craigcu12 · October 2013

while the MTT went well the cash was up down.
I had a good session in the afternoon with £8.61 £4.43 and £0.49 won from the tables.
then I decided to try the MS tables and they saw -£-13.73 and -£6.76 a lot came from trappers and chasers.
I had on last nl4p cash session with 5 tables and they got £4.24 £3.34 -£1.29 -£0.78 and -£1.44.
overall I got a loss of -£2.89

my BR today stands at £69.10

craigcu12 · October 2013

Today was cash tables only and I had 3 session this evening each with 1 hours breaks.

My first one had the best Winning table: loosing table ratio and the biggest profit of the day. their was 3 table profits of £8.26, £3.66 and £0.87 and the only loosing table was a loss of -£5.24. As for the tables they were all nl4

The second session was worst of them all with not 1 but of today worst table losses and they were -£10.52 and -£7.42 both from action tables, luckily enough it also had the biggest table profit of the day and that was £15.32 from an action table too and their was a nl8 table profit of £2.52.

my 3rd session had the worst P/L table ratio and saw only 2 table profits of £8.06 (nl10) and £0.25 (nl8), their were 4 tables with losses and but unlike the 2nd session these losses were the smallest of the day and were losses of -£0.74 (act) -£1.8 (act) -£1.26 (nl4) and -0.78 (nl4). although their was 6 table in that session part of the reason was that I switched 2 times.

I did try 1 all in sat that cost £1.80 but didn't make it through to the MTT.

overall today was a profit of £9.38 and my BR is now £78.48 I would have listed my hands but don't hand time.
trappers caught me out sometimes

craigcu12 · October 2013

i didn't have time to write up Tuesday as i needed an early sleep but, it wasn't that good a day and i think i should stay away from the MS tables for now because they cost me dear that day and i dropped down to a BR of £31.

today didn't start off too well with some heavy loosing tables of -£5.86 -£7.04 and -£4.33 plus a loss of -31p. so all the good winnings of £3.26 £4.12 and £3.43 ended up wasted and was in loss. it get recovered with 2 tables i had while playing a FR them two tables won £2.85 and £2.53.

the last session i had was much better, it did suffer 1 big loss of -£6.56 and a smaller one of -£1.32 but, i just continued playing since i had 1 table (action table) i finished on a profit of £10.04, but i was sometimes thinking i would never leave as it always seemed to have calls when i want calls and folds when i wanted folds. i did have another decent profit from a nl4 of £4 plus a small one nl4 profit of 25p, but every little helps.

so my day finish with an overall profit of £5.06 and the BR grew to £36.29

craigcu12 · October 2013

things at the minute seem to be at a stand still even with cash i am starting to now think i should just do pot size bets every time i have a decent hand or draw as their is more chance of England winning the next world cup than a villain doing a bet with it's risks.
i am now doing a sheet which will basically show me where they fold also i 'm starting to compare the number of hands they had called or weak bet to the number of hands they big bet.
in a way i should hae known this was trips myself

i might have been wrong to not cbet the flop but i did a full pot on the turn but then out of nowhere i saw him jam and was thinking right away he has got Q10 a set or AK AJ A3 because he had been on the table for ages yet i couldn't remember him even once doing this sort of bet

my table winnings themselves were £1.33 £4.22 £5.21 £10.63 £1.09 and 6p
the losses were £1.16 £2.22 £0.41 £8.39 £0.58 and £5.26.
I did enter the mini today as well but i failed.

overall i lost 98p. so my BR is now £35.31

one thing i am starting to question is do some villians think that i am poor because of the sharkscope, one certainly thought so and said it in the chat box today.
i may have a loss of £980 on that sharkscope but what they probably don't know is my deposit onto sky is just £480 so we could say i should be in profit of £500 had i decided to never both with MTT.

craigcu12 · October 2013

as it's already nearly one i will just make it quick one.
i had 2 sessions with 5 tables open as i was more tighter although i did still pull a few bluffs.

the first session saw profit of 41p £7.13 and £4.87. the losses were £1.43 and £2.42

my second session had 7 tables 5 at once changed 2 the winning tables had profit of £5 £1.70 £1.63 and £3.02, as for the losses they were £5.94 £4.05 and 40p.

Saturday just wasn't my day for luck this week and cost me some awful losses including one of £13 and another loss of £8
only 1 table saw much good at all the others were either starting bad before they went good or never even started.
my BR has finished on £32.75.
instead of the tables i will give a score
maniacs and CS 9-6 myself and Saturday seems far to dangerous for cbets must be tighter

craigcu12 · November 2013

the nl4 now seem to lack the calling stations which were about at the start of the year. the tables now seem to contain the sort who want cheap streets and tight passive post flop. the thing about that is I've been taking my aggression too far and it has caused a poor time even on cash tables, so I have decided that the next 2 months will have no more than 1 big target.

BECOME CAPIBLE OF DECENT BANKROLL MANAGEMENT AGAIN.

today i managed to get into the mini through a freeroll but it didn't go that well and i'm thinking i should have just registered for it before the freeroll ended then cancel the registry and get myself a £5 winninga it was a rebuy and all i would want to play at the minute is the BH or deep stack MTT so i lost 50p from and add on in MTT.

i did have a few SnG and they all went well with each getting me past the bubble. 2 were 50p+10p DYM and 1 was a £1+10p six max and i won all three so the profit i got was £3.60 (40p x2 and £2.80)

As for cash well that started off poor and cost me dearly. the first 2 sessions saw mostly losses and those were -£5.81 -£9.77 -£0.82 -£1.77 and -£1.93 them session only got 2 winning tables and they were £3.91 and £2.41 so i suffered a total loss of -£13.78

In my last session i decided to try it with a difference and played with some music and all through that session i fealt so relaxed and it finished with all 4 tables getting good profits of £1.43 £2.02 £5.89 £2.93.

my day as a whole was
cash table -£1.51
MTT -50p
SnG £3.60
so i have finished with £1.59 profit and points were 115
BR £29.15

Haven't you always used good BRM Craig? Definitely don't think you need to dedicate 2 months to something that really is very straight forward.

Just say to yourself, under no circumstances am I going to play....

A DYM with less than X BIs
Cash with less than X BIs
An MTT with less than X BIs
A HU SnG with less than X BIs
A satellite with less than X BIs (yes you shouldn't use the same BI rule for MTTs as Sats)

And do it. Job is a good 'un.

============================================

What is it you're struggling with at 4NL recently? If you're finding you get called down too much when bluffing then maybe you need to lay off the bluffing. I'd focus on taking good notes on players and actually using them. Like I have notes on some players that just say 'will NOT fold any pr postflop'... that's enough to know

1) We do NOT want to bluff this player
2) We want to value bet thinly (with weaker hands) more against this player cos we can now legitimately value bet TPNK or 2nd pr.

my BR was ok but I went over the top with MTT in augest and September my sharkscope reveals it all £300 looked enough to play MTT but I was going into way to many.
what I think has happened with my cash is now the nl4 has become more varied i'm having to mix my game up more.
at the start of the year I would just have 6 tables and be very tight aggressive and the tables had the CS.
what has started to happen now is i'm getting lots of big pot losses and small pot wins.
notes are now more important so i am starting to keep track of which villians i can isolate and which are total calling stations also those who are LAG.
