I rebound like Dennis Rodman!

So I went and caught the preseason opener for the Warriors, they looked bad, and got my mind right. I came home and decided to put in a nice long session. I had Dodgy sweat me for the 1st half and I played some good solid poker but waqs on the recieving end of some sick beats. Then I took a quick break and came back with avengence. I have been CC on the BTN more if I think it will be a multi way pot and completing or calling Minraises from the blinds too. Last night it payed off.

Hand 1: Villain is 73/37/1.4

Turn: ($201) 8c (2 players)Hero calls $99.60 (All-In), Button calls $52 (All-In).

After he calls he has 52 left and I am shoving any turn. I knew this turn was bad when it hit.

Results below: Button has 8h 7d (two pair, eights and sevens). Hero has Qd Qs (one pair, queens). Outcome: Button wins $305. Hero wins $47.60.

Am I raising it to much here? Even though I flopped strong this is a wet flop and I figured it was best to protect my hand and tax anyone who wanted to try and out draw me.
Turn: ($90) 8d (2 players)SB calls $37 (All-In), Hero calls $37.

If you got there good game sir. I call!
River: ($164) 9h (2 players, 1 all-in)
Final Pot: $164
Results below: Hero has Td 9d (full house, nines full of tens). SB has 7h 8h (flush, ten high). Outcome: Hero wins $164.

I am a winner!!!

But when I tilt I lose. I know deep down I am a winning player and I believe I know the correct decision at the table 99% of the time. The problem is when I incur a suckout or set vs set I allow it to effect me and I lose that mental edge. Its real sick because I will tell myself the correct decision mentally yet allow myself to physically do the opposite. Here is a prime example of that. Let me show you the set up.

Hand 1: Set vs Set. Honestly I think I might be able to get away from this. Vilain is 28/10/1

Hero ($200)SB ($636.53)BB ($452.55)UTG ($156.70)MP ($75.60)CO ($350.24)

Flop: ($32) 8d, 4s, 2c (3 players)SB checks, BB bets $12, Hero calls $12, SB folds.

The flop is so dry that I opted to call looking to encourage the SB to come along.
Turn: ($56) Tc (2 players)BB bets $20, Hero raises to $76, BB raises to $242, Hero calls $102 (All-In).

I honestly think this might be a fold. My line looks so strong I am almost certain that a villain with these numbers isnt doing this with anything I beat. What do you think? I mean I called excpecting to see 88 or 44.
River: ($476) Jd (2 players, 1 all-in)
Final Pot: $476
Results below: Hero has 2h 2d (three of a kind, twos). BB has 4h 4d (three of a kind, fours). Outcome: BB wins $476.

After this hand is when I need to shut down the tables. Post it on CR and get feedback maybe and just go for a walk and know that it was simply a cooler and I am playing winning poker. Then come back and start fresh. But this time around I didnt because I was pressed for time and I felt I could play through it. Now the next two hands.

Hand 2: Villain is 27/8/1 with an attempt to steal of 23. I almost didnt 3 bet but I think it was fine. What do you think?

Flop: ($49) 7h, As, 9c (2 players)Hero bets $32, Button raises to $64, Hero folds.

After 3 betting I am looking for a bet fold or else I think my hand is dead. Is leading the best choice? I think my play here was fine actually.
Final Pot: $145
Results below: No showdown. Button wins $145.

Now here is where I allow those 2 spots to lead me to spew.

Hand 3: Villain is 50/11/1

Turn: ($61) 5s (2 players)BB checks, Hero bets $36, BB raises to $70, Hero calls $36.

Before betting this turn I told myself this was a Bet/Fold situation as with a super low AF this villain never C/R with worse, yet I talk myself into a call. Why? TILT!
River: ($203) 6h (2 players)BB bets $76, Hero raises to $102 (All-In), BB calls $26.

Fuck I can get away from this still and have only spewed 18BB by finding a fold here facing an obvious river VB from a fish. Nah, I like a shove!
Final Pot: $407
Results below: BB has Jh 9c (straight, queen high). Hero has Ah As (one pair, aces). Outcome: BB wins $407.

There it is! Spew tard city. What have we learned today class? Thats right, take a beat and close the tables. Come back 10 minutes later and start fresh. I think from now on I will be meditating after a cooler.

2k hands down 3/4 a buyin.

I feel real good about my game at the moment. I know the up swing is happening today actually. All my big hands are going to be getting payed and the times when I am a 95% favorite I think the 5% chances have had their fair share and it is my turn. With that said I still might be missing value by overbetting some rivers or raising to big when I have the goods. I need to work on betting sizes so to maximize my value when I have the goods. Also I plugged the leak from the SB but now I am spewing from the BB. I need to fix this asap. Funny thing is I am not losing any monster pots only 2 50 bigblind pots and like 3 of the top 10 losers are when I 3bet from the blinds and my cbet failed. One thing I think I noticed too last night was that I have been 3betting alot less and just calling with SC IP. I dont like that as aggression wins. I will be getting back to my aggressive ways asap too. Now some hand;

Hand 1: Villain is 66/5/.5 Is this a spew as I put this guy dead on a Q when he calls my turn bet? He tanks the shove too. Seriously he hollywoods and lets the timer run near out and then gets it in. I so want to fold and think a great layer might. Granted I think we all have seen 99 or 88 in this spot.

Hand 2: Villain is 43/12/.75 he has some suspect HUD numbers yet he is a regular. We have tangled quite a bit as he loves to call raises OOP and float. I would like to say my play is standard and I have seen this line being played alot, yet I think due to player history this isnt. After thinking about it this guy almost never has 3bet me that I can remember so getting it in here stinks. I think I can call and get it in if I hit. Instead I choose to play it fast and it bites me. Is this just variance again?

7.5k hand challenge

I have decided that this week I want to challenge myself to play 7.5k hands at the 200NL level. If I am going to be beating the 400s and higher by December I need to get working on the 200s now. Switching the 100BB BI rather then 200 has made me so much moe comfortable and my game as come full circle. I feel better then ever at the tables and I am using table selection like a mad man. All that combined has made for an easier transition this time around and the results will be son to follow. I have had some tough beats and sticky spots. Here they are for your viewing pleasure.

Hand 1: Villain is 33/7/.7

Button ($382.59)SB ($525.85)BB ($219.54)UTG ($107.75)MP ($157.75)CO ($84.95)
Hero is BB w/ Th3h
Preflop: 1 fold, MP calls $2, 1 fold, Button calls $2, SB completes, BB checks.
Flop: ($8) Jh, 4h, 9h (4 players)SB checks, BB bets $8, MP calls $8, Button raises to $16, SB folds, BB raises to $62, MP folds, Button raises to $112, BB raises to $223.54 (All-In), Button calls $105.54.

Obviously not a bad flop and I lead for pot to protect and charge all big FD's. I get MR by a donkey and I repop. Think my reraise might be to large. When he Min4bets I figure him for a flush almost instantly but I think my only play is to get it in. This hand has been bugging me alot though. My instaincts told me I was against another flush, that being the case can I fold? I need to do the math to see how many worse flushs there are.
Turn: ($457.08) 7d (2 players, 1 all-in)
River: ($457.08) 9d (2 players, 1 all-in)
Final Pot: $457.08

Hand 2 Villain is 72/21/1.27, we had been battling a bit as he is in every hand. He had been getting the best of it too.

Button ($177.50)SB ($206.75)BB ($97)UTG ($693.02)
Hero is SB w/8s8h
Preflop: UTG calls $2, 1 fold, SB raises to $12, 1 fold, UTG calls $10.

Looking back I think I might wanna just limp here as this guy is never folding to my raise and I will have to play the rest of the hand OOP against someone who has been kicking my ass. This guy floats everything. I should have adjusted better at the table and this is a weakness in my game.
Flop: ($26) Ah, 5h, 7c (2 players)SB bets $14, UTG calls $14.

I decide to lead small for pot control and to see just where I am.
Turn: ($54) 6c (2 players)SB bets $22, UTG calls $22.

He snap called and I felt he didnt have an A. I pick up an open ender on the turn and decide to Value/pot control bet.
River: ($98) Jd (2 players)SB bets $34, UTG calls $34.

I didnt know what to do here. I still felt I had the best hand and I didnt want to check and let him set the price so I made another blocking bet. How is my bet sizing on every street?
Final Pot: $166

Hand 3: Villain is 37/9/2.7

Preflop: 1 fold, MP calls $2, 1 fold, Button calls $2, SB completes, BB raises to $12, MP folds, Button folds, SB calls $10.
Flop: ($28) Td, Ad, 5c (2 players)SB checks, BB bets $22, SB raises to $44, BB calls $22.

Ugh! The Check MR. I decided my best choice here was to call and reeval the turn.
Turn: ($116) 3h (2 players)SB checks, BB checks.

He checks to me and in all honesty I cant explain my check. I felt he could have a weak Ace that he wasnt folding and I wanted to make it to SD cheap I guess
River: ($116) Kc (2 players)SB checks, BB checks.

Not the best card in the deck. I take the free SD. I think my play on the turn and river arent the best. Please do comment
Final Pot: $116

Hand 4: Villain is 24/18/3 is this standard? Can I 3bet smaller? Any time you dont 3bet this?

Hand 5: Villain is 43/11/2 How is my line?

Flop: ($17) 8h, 7s, 5s (2 players)BB checks, MP bets $12, BB raises to $26, MP calls $14.

I thought my hand was most likely the best hand yet this is a very wet board and I decided calling was better then raising. I called with the intention of raising most turn cards.
Turn: ($69) 2c (2 players)BB bets $42, MP raises to $120, BB folds.

He leads pretty strong and I was put to the test. I had decided I was getting it in on any safe turn and this is about the safest card in the deck. Looks like he was bluffing.
Final Pot: $231

My weekend at the 200s

I decided it is time to crack it wide open. I struggled last month and it was do mainly to a lack of mental edge and confidence in my ability. I had an epiphany(maybe?) on Saturday and decided it is time. Time to take my game to the next level and dive in head 1st. I ideally am going to try and get 10K hands in this week at the 200s but 7.5K is probably more realistic seeing that I am yet to play a hand and it is 4:35PM. Oh and I wont be till later as I am going to go watch the Yankees game. Real quickly though here are a few hands from the sessions.


Hand 1: Villain is 43/13/2
Absolute Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (6 handed) Hand History converter, Courtesy of PokerZion.com
Button ($513.30)SB ($194.20)BB ($109.30)UTG ($76.08)Hero ($200)CO ($152.45)
Preflop: Hero is MP with Th, Jh. UTG calls $2, Hero raises to $10, 3 folds, BB raises to $20, UTG folds, Hero calls $10.

I have dedided to tighten up from this position and this hand will no longer be in my opening range except for maybe 25% of the time. Facing a MPFR IP I decide to take a flop
Flop: ($43) Ts, 7c, Tc (2 players)BB bets $30, Hero calls $30.

Best flop possible for me and I decide to basically call and l;et villain bluff his stack on the turn or shove if he checked. In retrospect I wonder if I should just shove here and now?
Turn: ($103) 6c (2 players)BB calls $59.30 (All-In), Hero calls $59.30.

He shoves when FD completes but I think I am good still and I snap call.
River: ($221.60) 5c (2 players, 1 all-in)

Sweet river, LOL.
Final Pot: $221.60
Results below: BB has Js Jc (flush, jack high). Hero has Th Jh (three of a kind, tens). Outcome: BB wins $221.60.


Hand 2: Villain is 31/15/.75

Preflop: Hero is Button with Jh, Jc. 1 fold, MP raises to $6, CO calls $6, Hero raises to $28, 2 folds, MP calls $22, CO folds.

Looks standard so far
Flop: ($65) Tc, 7d, 9s (2 players)MP checks, Hero bets $36, MP calls $36.

Great flop and I bet out with all intention of calling a shove that hopefully my weaker 1/2 PSB will enduce.
Turn: ($137) Th (2 players)MP checks, Hero calls $146.35 (All-In), MP calls $40.60 (All-In).

I think I will always get it in here and if he has a T gg sir.
River: ($323.95) 9d (2 players, 2 all-in)
Final Pot: $323.95
Results below: Hero has Jh Jc (two pair, jacks and tens). MP has Ad Td (full house, tens full of nines). Outcome: MP wins $218.20. Hero wins $105.75.

Hand 3: Villain was insane like 80/40/7 this guy had been overbetting like crazy and him and another maniac at the table were battling it out.

Button ($79)Hero ($203.20)BB ($1152.70)UTG ($544)MP ($359.20)CO ($217.70)
Preflop: Hero is SB with Jh, Ad. 4 folds, Hero raises to $8, BB raises to $152, Hero raises to $203.2 (All-In), BB calls $51.20.

When it folded to me I was thinking here we go. I have to raise and sure enough villain goes insane. I tanked this one and decided you know what I have this guys range crushed and I want to gamble. I mean I am do. What do you think?
Flop: ($406.40) 7c, 4h, 6d (2 players, 1 all-in)
Turn: ($406.40) 8c (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: $406.40
Results below: Hero has Jh Ad (one pair, sevens). BB has Qc Kh (one pair, sevens). Outcome: Hero wins $406.40.

Flop: ($24) Td, Js, Qc (2 players)SB checks, Hero bets $16, SB calls $16.

Amazing flop, now hopefully he will come along.
Turn: ($56) Qd (2 players)SB checks, Hero bets $36, SB raises to $72, Hero calls $36.

Fuck! Is this happening again? Looking back at this hand and the responses I recieved from the CR forum I think this is a shove. Villains range here is so many more hands other then a FH. Also if I call his turn C/MR I have to call a river shove so with that in mind why not get it in now before the board gets uglier? Shoving was the best choice here.
River: ($200) 7c (2 players)SB bets $54, Hero calls $54.
Final Pot: $308
Results below: Hero has Ah Kc (straight, ace high). SB has Qs 4s (three of a kind, queens). Outcome: Hero wins $308.

Hand 5: Villain is 29/11/3

Button ($93.40)SB ($356)BB ($401)UTG ($32.25)Hero ($208.80)
Preflop: Hero is MP with 6s, 6c. UTG raises to $4, Hero calls $4, 1 fold, SB calls $3, 1 fold.

This guy had been minraising alot and I decided to take a cheap flop with 66 and see if I couldbnt hit big
Flop: ($14) 5h, Jh, 6d (3 players)SB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $8, SB calls $8, UTG folds.

I love the flop and I decide to fire what might look like a steal size bet when checked to.
Turn: ($30) Qs (2 players)SB bets $20, Hero raises to $65, SB calls $45.

I am thinking the Q might have given villain 2P which is great and I raise his donk alittle more then 3x looking to call a shove. I think I should be raising more here though as this is such a draw heavy board and in the case that he does have 2P he is most likely sticking around. Feedback on a proper bet size here would be appreciated.
River: ($160) 3h (2 players)SB bets $60, Hero calls $60.

Such an ugly river but I think I have to call. I am getting great odds and if he hit GG sir.
Final Pot: $280
Results below: SB has Js Ks (one pair, jacks). Hero has 6s 6c (three of a kind, sixes). Outcome: Hero wins $280.

I suck at dodge deck.

Similar to dodge ball except the only problem is in this game you want to get hit. My time is coming. In the meantime I have managed to get back to the old me via a little help from my friend Dodgy. I realized how scared I have been playing and I feel I have got my groove back. Now it is just a matter of time before I stack me some donkeys. With that said I did manage to play 1396 hands at 7.25BB/100. Not so bad really. Also I didnt lose one single pot over 40BB.

Hand 1: I had very few hands on this guy he was 87/0/.5

Oh great I made a set, NOT. I check and he bets a buck again. No fucking way he has a flush. I put in a raise and bam Min raise. Can I call? I have to right?

Hand 2: I just sit down and pick up AKs and this preflop action insues. Had no stats on original Raiser villain who called my preflop raise was 52/12/.6.

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is BB with ad kd UTG folds, UTG+1 raises to $7, CO calls, Button calls, SB folds, Hero raises to $31, UTG+1 folds, CO calls, Button folds.

I decided then and there again that I would 3bet big with the intention of calling any shove. Instead we take a flop and I have a pot size bet left behind.
Flop: 7h 6s 5h ($76.5, 2 players)Hero checks, CO checks.

I get nothing and rather then spew off my stack I decide I will be shutting down unless something interesting occurs.

Standard?

Button ($170.20)SB ($25.95)Hero ($112.65)UTG ($85.20)MP ($187.76)CO ($77.35)
Preflop: Hero is BB with 8h, 8d. 2 folds, CO raises to $4, 2 folds, Hero calls $3.

I opted to set min with 88 here and possibly make a play depending on flop texture.

Flop: ($8.50) 6c, 9h, 7s (2 players)Hero checks, CO bets $7, Hero raises to $21, CO raises to $73.35 (All-In), Hero calls $52.35.

I loike the texture and I make my move. I know I am behind when he shoves yet I am getting proper odds with my OPSD and my 2 outs to make a set. So 10 outs twice. Standard?

1st day of October

I actually only lost one hand over 50BB yet managed to lose a total of 338.5 on the day. Again I want to blame the cards but know it is my play. I think I am looking to not cbet so often that I am actually losing value. Also I continue to play scared and allow scare cards to effect my play. Another problem I am having is playing super scared in 3bet situations. Before I was so fearless and I took the losses and rolled with it. I played my cards and my opponent accordingly and was really learning to go with my instincts. I have begun to shy away from this and will look to get back to it from here on. Here are a few hands that gave me trouble.

Hand 1: At the time I had know HUD stats on Villain but it turns out he is playing 19/6, my table image was LAG as I had already been involved in 2 3bet pots without SD.

Button ($90)SB ($149)BB ($180.24)Hero ($200)MP ($48.15)CO ($154.30)
Preflop: Hero is UTG with Kh, Ah. Hero raises to $4, 2 folds, Button raises to $15, 2 folds, Hero raises to $36, Button calls $21.

Beacuse of my image I thought villain could be doing this light and I was prepared to call a shove.

Flop: ($73.50) 6d, 3h, Jd (2 players)Hero calls $164 (All-In), Button calls $54 (All-In).

When he smooth calls I dont know what to do. I think the best line is to C/F here but I decided to shove. In retrospect I think it is almost impossible to fold out any hand he called my 4bet with on this flop.

Turn: ($291.50) Td (2 players, 2 all-in)
River: ($291.50) Jc (2 players, 2 all-in)
Final Pot: $291.50
Results below: Button has Ac Ad (two pair, aces and jacks). Hero has Kh Ah (one pair, jacks). Outcome: Button wins $181.50. Hero wins $110.

Hand 2: Villain is 25/19/2.5

Hero ($199.50)SB ($58.05)BB ($38.15)UTG ($100.85)MP ($130.40)CO ($319.15)
Preflop: Hero is Button with Tc, Js. 2 folds, CO raises to $4, Hero raises to $15, 2 folds, CO calls $11.

I felt his CO raising range is quite wide as he had a high attempt to steal and I decided t 3bet with JT here. I am not sure how much I like JT in a 3bet spot but then again I dont hate this play at all

Flop: ($31.50) Ts, 9c, 2s (2 players)CO checks, Hero bets $21, CO calls $21.

I get a piece of the flop and he had checked it so I make a standard cbet here. Looking at it now I have to assume his calling range OOP is very tight and he most likely is holding like at worst 99+ and AQs. When he calls my flop bet I decided I was shutting down and looking to SD.
Turn: ($73.50) 2d (2 players)CO checks, Hero checks.
River: ($73.50) 6c (2 players)CO calls $283.15 (All-In), Hero folds.

I dont get his shove but it might be out of frustration that I didnt bet the turn when he was planning to get a C/R in.
Final Pot: $356.65
Results below: CO doesn't show. Outcome: CO wins $356.65.

Hand 3: I had just sat down and had no read on villain. The only thing I can really think is maybe a donky due to the min 3bet.

Hero ($200)SB ($114.80)BB ($88.15)UTG ($195.50)MP ($71.30)
Preflop: Hero is Button with As, Td. 2 folds, Hero raises to $4, SB raises to $8, 1 fold, Hero calls $4.

I am curious really if I should just fold this hand as I am going to have a hard time playing any A or T if I encounter resistance and alot of the time the min 3bet in my experience is a monster.

Flop: ($17) 3c, 2s, Ks (2 players)SB checks, Hero checks.

Villain checks so I opt for a free card.
Turn: ($17) Th (2 players)SB checks, Hero bets $10, SB raises to $20, Hero calls $10.

I connect and villain checks again. I feel I am probably best and I want to get value as well as protect my hand so I bet. When I C/MR I think this is an easy fold. The turn MR is again typically a big hand and it is most likely that I am behind and will be facing a river bet. I decide to call.
River: ($57) 6c (2 players)SB bets $14, Hero folds.

I should probably call this river bet with the odds I am getting but I felt this was a monster looking to get value. Then again if this villain is a donkey alot of times they bet super small on bluffs. Do you call?
Final Pot: $71
Results below: SB doesn't show. Outcome: SB wins $71.

Hand 4: Villain is 41/13/.79

Button ($183.25)SB ($113.90)Hero ($100.80)UTG ($48.85)MP ($170.10)CO ($97)
Preflop: Hero is BB with Qc, Ac. UTG calls $1, MP calls $1, 2 folds, SB completes, Hero raises to $8, UTG folds, MP folds, SB calls $7.
Flop: ($18) Ah, 7c, Jc (2 players)SB checks, Hero checks.

I hammer this flop and opt to check as I felt there werent any cards that could hurt my hand and I didnt want to run off the villain. I am wondering if this is a bad choice? Did I lose value? Is the FPS?
Turn: ($18) 5c (2 players)SB checks, Hero bets $12, SB calls $12.

I hammer the turn even harder and now I have to bet.
River: ($42) Jh (2 players)SB checks, Hero bets $24, SB folds.

When vilain calls turn I am thinking yes! I opt to VB slash induce a bluff by showing weakness on the river and he folds.
Final Pot: $66
Results below: Hero has Qc Ac (flush, ace high). Outcome: Hero wins $66.
