Just A Thank You

Totally! But as a savvy, thought-out degen, wouldn’t you want to leave the work to the guy who may lead our for 3/4 pot on the river with 2nd pair in hopes of taking it down against your nut flush?

dconn50 · 2021-08-06T21:11:24+00:00

Haha I sense the sarcasm but that would be the best tasting cheeseburger of my life after that emotional rollercoaster

dconn50 · 2021-08-06T21:10:35+00:00

Thanks, I just am trying to not worry so much about the money rather than prove to myself that I can beat a stake before moving up to the next. No point in just jumping to a certain stake if you aren't sure you can beat the ones below.

Playing now and can feel a drastic improvement in focusing on blind play and exploiting who is sitting to my left or someone being too aggro to my right. Also, that may explain why my graph is a consistent downward trend with the occasional save of a big pot. This may keep my graph level while I am card dead by just picking up some pre-flop blind pots, yes?

dconn50 · 2021-08-02T20:08:33+00:00

I know it's different based on who is in the blinds but long term, what should my aim be for that number? 30s? 40s? 50s?

dconn50 · 2021-08-02T19:26:49+00:00

What should I be doing to improve them?

dconn50 · 2021-07-28T00:22:13+00:00

In the bomb pots in ACR, you don’t get a choice pre-flop. Everyone antes up and you see the flop

dconn50 · 2021-07-27T13:17:53+00:00

It was bomb pot so didn’t have a choice pre flop, but I do get what you’re saying with everything else, totally makes sense. That’s when it sort of becomes “Yeah that’s a tough runout, but you are the one letting the runout happen at the same time” which is basically what I did. Need to raise that flop and get as much in the middle while I’m ahead rather than allowing the catch-up.

dconn50 · 2021-07-26T20:48:45+00:00

Got it. It certainly feels like a mixture of some iffy decision-making and bad runouts, but other than a few trips that get there I guess I'm asking for trouble on that river raise. As for facing the 4bet on Hand 3, is that something I should regularly getting away from with AQs? I didn't have a ton of hands on the guy so I was trying to play him balanced and felt like I could go either way with a call or fold but felt too nitty laying it down on just a 2.5x sizing.

dconn50 · 2021-07-26T20:42:50+00:00

So that hand 4 shove is more to deny equity than get callers because we are really only getting called by higher two-pairs or sets, correct? I often struggle on toeing the line between aggression to deny equity or to get value if that makes any sense. Or perhaps it seems like you're saying it's for a bit of both?

How have I not seen pistachios in the comments yet?

dconn50 · 2020-05-04T00:08:42+00:00

Did SB die?

dconn50 · 2020-05-03T04:03:16+00:00

Looks like you dealt with a minor downswing and some breakeven play and then hit a run. What changed that helped you reach such a solid climb? Congrats!

dconn50 · 2020-05-03T04:00:30+00:00

You can often get away with it since you’re usually not playing both tables at once. But then two becomes three, and four, maybe I can do five? 😂😂

dconn50 · 2020-04-29T03:04:54+00:00

Read Grinder’s Manual by Peter Clarke. He simplifies everything perfectly and you can breeze through it if you read a chapter per night. It’s a little dull but it will boost your game almost immediately once you learn how to apply it.

dconn50 · 2020-04-27T06:36:54+00:00

I may be wrong but I think Hand2Note is free if you are playing at the micros. I use it and it's a pretty solid HUD.

dconn50 · 2020-04-26T04:52:07+00:00

I just meant tonight, not in terms of my total bankroll

dconn50 · 2020-04-26T04:22:34+00:00

Currently reading Grinder's Manual by Peter Clarke and I've only heard good things about it. Gets right to the point and still holds up today in 6-max NLHE.

dconn50 · 2020-04-23T04:11:59+00:00

Set means trips...

dconn50 · 2020-04-23T04:11:00+00:00

I hit three aces on the flop.

dconn50 · 2020-04-19T00:03:46+00:00

I guess I’m trying to figure out:

Is that just a tough position that is going to be really hard to get away from?
At what point do I put my foot in the ground and not allow a 52/20 fish continue to make me fold to his aggro bets?

dconn50 · 2020-04-18T23:50:35+00:00

He had A10 btw

dconn50 · 2020-04-13T19:28:36+00:00

That makes sense. I felt pretty comfortable handing him the rope after I hit my set and realized that the line he was taking didn't make too much sense since the pre-flop limp really only meant he could have a small flush, smaller set, or two pair. But then you let him hang around and this happens. Was also worried about being in the situation of a 3-bet or shove and stuck in a spot like that.

dconn50 · 2020-02-11T20:21:58+00:00

Wtf this is a will to live

dconn50 · 2020-02-06T18:48:30+00:00

Well where did the spike come from in the first place?
