Calling the river.

I'm playing well. Not extremely good but just well. That's why I analyzed few hands today. Also I've noticed some autopiloting. Not good at all.
Today we are calling the river guys. Spots where we're bluffcatch happy and not sure what to do with our range.

Always don't know what to do. SB is fish 40/24 AFq 30 ftcbet 2/3 IP 1/2 OOP. How often do you see fishy guys overplaying sth like KT? If we can give them sth like KQ whats the point in calling here?

He showed Ac4c Its so bad to bet for him this turn card. Sometimes I xdown here A high which he beats now.

How often do you expect to see bluff here? This guy resteals sth like ~15% SBvsCO. He's quite agressive, playing nl400-nl1k.

He showed AdQc which is totally fine. I would do the same but without sizing tells ;p

What do you think about this one. He opens 14% and when he cbets he rather barrel off 3 times. Look at the turn and river sizings.

He showed Ad5d 

Fish 41/12 WTS 41 WWSF 52 AFq 46 dbet 3/10. What do you think? My process was about the range he can bet 1/4 turn and 1/2 river. If he bets turn for tvalue with 88 why he bets 1/2 on the river?

When you answer I will show you the results for all hands ;)

In control

Finally I'm going in the proper way. Being back in control of my life after terrible 2013y is like running into the waterfall  during the summer days. I'd been struggling with tough time whole last year and don't want to write much about it. What I want you to read are conclusions:

• You have to live FOR someone. If you are not making someone else life better, then you're wasting your time. Living for yourself and doing whole things for you is wasting your time on this cruel world. If you live for someone there is a big chance that someone in this world lives for you. Actually this thing makes you immortal in many meanings.
• Our most powerful strength is never fcking never ever never give up. I'm not talking about poker only. Never give up on your family, friends and people you can help. Don't let you dreams being covered by the cloud of failure. Blow this cloud every fucking time to see the shining of success.
• Stop doing the same thing and expecting different results. You can't grind 200k hands being b/e and expecting that sth will happen and you will start winning 7bb/100. 
• Health is sth that you can't buy. Threat your body like a sanctuary. Provide best quality food, go to the gym and rest.
• Be honest with yourself. Please, believe me, by saying "its just a swing" after 100k hands going down down down or b/e you are harming yourself. You should say "I suck lets do sth different"
• Ask for help. You can't pretend that everything is fine and put more pressure on yourself.
• Its not about how hard you can get hit its about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.
• that's why "It's not how good you play while you're winning, but how good you play while losing, that determines how much of a winner you are"
• Make decisions. Don't say "Maybe I should go to the gym" Say "I"m going to the gym". Decisions are everywhere. Train your brain by making more and more decisions - even simple ones. 

wall of text I know. Probably two people will read 1/2 of it but I want it for myself if 2013 year appears in the future (hopefully not).

Let's have some fun:
