MONSTER HAND BANG!

Lets start from THE RESULT OF THE LAST HAND: He showed KTo.
Now my game vs this guy is going to be pretty easy. I will do whatever I can to under represent my hands and bluff catch a lot. Minbetting, x/c with overpair on wet boards, bet really small on the river :)

UTG is e 70/40 retard with WTS 45 AFq and donkbetting bilion. With deadmoney it's easy shove on this range which is still to tight for him I think:

MP and SB fish. BTN is weaktight 20/14 with ftcbet 60/50/70 which is sick. His WTS is 22 and AFq 34.... callopen BTN 10 vs EP maybe a little less but remember that there is fish on SB.

He called flop after thinking 10-15sec which made me think that he hit sth strong. He bets IP vs missed 60 on the turn so I let him bet to increase to pot size because we were ~140bb deep. The river is an action killer but still he was thinking whole time bank before folding.

Three questions:

1) Do you think it's super easy river shove If the river is 8,6,T,Q? Remember that it's super fucking tight ass with WTS 22 and W$SD 56 ( no small pots).

2) Would ever consider here betting sth like ~110€?

3) Would x/r turn higher with my read that he hit sth strong?

This one I made from my window. Look how people treat their cars in Italy. EVERY seriously EVERY single car has some scratches or curves...



P.S I made half of my "one day of poker pro" movie. Stay tuned ;]

Not sure about it :/ What do you think? How much 5x do you see in his range? Only As5s,Ac5c and Ad5d Why his range is different vs me than his normal range? 10% difference in calling range BB vs BTN... I will tell you the result but maybe someone want to analyze this one?

Today no music... Rest in Peace James Gandolfini - thanks for all moments!

MP good hand reader. His bet sizing always  surprise me. Very well balanced. OR 18 Fold to 3bet 50 and fold vs sqz 60. CO is donk  ft3bet 20 60/40. I was a little worried about getting traped by QQ+ but.... My thinking process went this way. If he thinks about the sizing a lot, he can misinterpret mine. My level was: My standard sizing here on this blank turn with value would be ~100€ or even less. Decided to look, as FD or anything what need FEq. Not sure if I can extend calling range by this sizing, but this time it worked.

How would you perceived my range on this turn while overbetting?

Trying to make my game stable

I've noticed that quality of my game is quite good but not stable at all. Even after two days break, it takes me 15-30 minutes before I go into my ZONE - sometimes it's too late ;) It's difficult to decribe how I feel. All of you know the feeling when you have the flow. The perfect state of mind. The best quality game based on all your knowledge. You are cappable of catching even timing reads, and discover the most thin value raise on the river.

So what I did to improve this part of my poker game?
I created checklist and put it on the sticky notes.

Checklist and rituals:
    • Do I feel like I want to play? (Yes/No)
    • What is my attitude (Positive/Negative)
  • Water/Yerba Mate/Isotonic
  • Something energetic to eat (sessions over 60min)
  • Alarm every 15-20min (to check myself, which game I'm playing A/B/C)
  • Skype OFF
  • Internet NUKED (I use the extending to the Chrome browser called "StayFocused")
  • Warm UP
    • Listen to one good RAP track to motivate myself
    • Listen to the first 5 min of pokermindset by Eliot Roe
    • Open max 4 tables and watch/play
  • If I played well after session I listen to some favorite rap music :)
TIPS:
- Observe yourself, try what is best for you.
- Note your emotions and things/hands which coused them.
- Do not eat anything fat before the session.
- DO THE SESSION REVIEW OF YOUR MINDSET.

Thanks Robmaf for you advice!

The next thing is my excel file.
I created colums: day / nr of session / variance / the impact of variation in € / time / quality of decisions / frame of mind / what I could do better.

"what I could do better" is my favourite one. I've learned  about myself in last few days more then in a whole year.

Hero (258€ eff left)

22/18 wts 25 AFq 27 3bet 5,2 after 254 hands. No dynamic between us. He looks like a weaktight, very passive, folding a lot to steals and 3bets. I was his first 3bet from CO. I've decided to 4bet  because this type of guy is not 3bet bluffing vs EP. There is a fish on BTN and another one on 50bb on SB.

Bet flop pretty stnd, dont know his bet IP frequencies. What to do on the turn? His range is quite easy to read: KK-JJ, AhKh, AcKc, AhKd, AhKs, AhKc, AcKd, AcKh, AcKs. If I check this guy xback whole his range besides QQ/KK. If I shove he folds everything besides QQ/KK :D

I don't know maybe it's simple but it's to late for me to think about it. Help please.

I've got money in my backpack!

Just a short post before Sunday grinding. Rap and hiphop music means a lot to me. (Yes, Ninjai that's why I wear these shitty clothes) I think it formed my personality and human values. Maybe not as much as parents and friends' environment, but in some way it helped.

Maybe its not the best example of deep value RAP, but beat reminds me of 90's. Enjoy and feel free to comment some good shit. (thanks ZOLA)
